New build, random/inconsistent BSODs

I just built my son's computer literally yesterday. The specs are what are listed in my "specs." Windows 11 home version 24H2.

Ryzen 5 5600X
ASUS TUF Gaming B550 Plus WI-FI II
MSI Nvidia Geforce GTX 980
G.Skill 2x16 32 gigs ram, DDR4 3600, 18-22-22-22-42
Hyper 212 Black
WD 2TB NVME drive
Corsair RM650 PSU

The computer has had several, seemingly random BSODs since I got it up and running. I wish I could say it's when I'm doing XYZ, and it always happens if I do blah blah blah, but I honestly have no idea. It's pretty random. I've updated the motherboard BIOS and reset all the settings in the BIOS, minus applying the DOCP profile for the ram and changing the fan profiles to turbo speed. I've changed the windows power profile to High Performance. I've installed the chipset drivers from the ASUS website. The graphics driver is up to date.

The BSODs seemed to happen a lot less last night after I updated the motherboard bios and reset the bios settings. The most recent BSOD happened this morning when all I had open was Steam, I had started about 6 or 7 games to download and then it BSOD'd and restarted. I hasn't happened since. I'm hoping someone can analyze this file and point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

6) Open administrative command prompt and copy and paste:

chkdsk /b /v

Run these chkdsk switches on all drives using the syntax: chkdsk /b /v C: or chkdsk /b /v D: or chkdsk /b /v E: etc.

Make sure that the windows drive runs overnight while sleeping.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>chkdsk /b /v
The type of the file system is NTFS.

Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another

Hello Zbook,

I've been reading through a ton of the threads with the process order and steps while prepping to make my first BSOD post and I have a quick question about your Step 5. For HD Tune, on the website, there's the old version you mention that's version 2.55 but doesn't say that it's compatible with anything over Win7. Is this the version you're wanting people to use or will a trial version of the Pro version (5.75 or 6.10) provide the full error scan until the trial runs out? I just want to confirm so I can hit as many of the prerequisites as possible before posting. Thank you.

And apologies, not trying to threadjack, but it's been 7 days with no response to your above request so I don't feel like I'm interrupting too much.

Hi, welcome.

My guess is that you would be better off creating a new thread. You could start off with your question and move on from there.

The latest trial runs an incomplete drive scan.

The version 2.55 tests the whole drive.

The versions 5.75 and 6.1 may complete (these can run overnight while sleeping).
