I currently have a system less than one year old and it keeps black screening and hard crashing the entire windows system while I am actively playing Path of Exile 2. This has been occurring for a little over a week now. My system specifications will be included below. I have tried googling every possible event log code and to no avail have I managed to solve this so yesterday I did a clean install of Windows 11 thinking it may help but again it has not succeeded in this. I also made sure to grab all my updated drivers form the manufactures sites. AMD, ASRock, ECT. Please answer me asap if possible and I will monitor this thread actively. Thank you in advance! Attached is my V2 log colector file along with a link to it on OneDrive as well.

I'm kind of uncomfortable updating the bios as I've never done one before. I get the idea of how. I just really don't want to rick bricking my motherboard. Is it absolutely necessary? If so, any words of advice beforehand. I have a standard USB flash drive. I'm worried about using it though because it wasn't working for the fresh windows install I had to use another cause this one kept saying some drivers were missing and wouldn't even start the windows 11 install process. However, the other USB which I know is good doesn't support FAT32. Only ExFAT and NTFS. Thank you again in advance!

Please open a separate thread for the BIOS so that members using Asrock can guide you.

Continue with the next steps.
