Question:

Just bought a new asus laptop back in december and have had zero issues thus far. Noticed last week I received a random bsod but was unable to copy the code. Yesterday and today different codes popped up and are now happening more frequently (about every 10 minutes). I was able to get the last codes last two letters, 3B. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer:

Experiencing frequent Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors on your new ASUS laptop can be frustrating, but there are several steps you can take to diagnose and resolve the issue. Here’s a guide to help you troubleshoot and potentially fix the problem:

1. Check for Software or Driver Issues

BSOD errors are often caused by software conflicts or outdated drivers. Follow these steps to address software-related issues:

  • Update Windows: Ensure that your Windows operating system is up to date. Microsoft regularly releases updates, including bug fixes that can resolve BSOD errors.
  • Update Drivers: Visit the ASUS website and download the latest drivers for your laptop, including graphics, chipset, and network drivers. Make sure to install them correctly.
  • Uninstall Recent Software: If the BSODs started after installing new software, try uninstalling it to see if the issue persists.

2. Run Windows Memory Diagnostic

BSOD errors can also be related to faulty RAM. Use the built-in Windows Memory Diagnostic tool to check for memory problems:

  1. Type “Windows Memory Diagnostic” into the Windows search bar and select it from the results.
  2. Choose “Restart now and check for problems.”
  3. Windows will restart and perform a memory test. Allow it to complete, and it will report any issues it finds.

3. Check for Overheating

Overheating can cause BSODs. Ensure that your laptop is not overheating by checking the following:

  • Keep your laptop on a flat, hard surface to allow proper ventilation.
  • Use compressed air to clean out any dust from the laptop’s vents and fans.
  • Consider using a cooling pad to help dissipate heat.

4. Analyze BSOD Error Codes

You mentioned receiving error codes like “3B.” These codes can provide valuable information about the cause of the BSOD. You can analyze these codes to identify the problem more precisely. Here are a few common BSOD error codes and their potential meanings:

  • 0x3B (SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION): This error can be related to faulty hardware or driver issues.
  • 0x7E (SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED): It often points to a driver problem.
  • 0x1A (MEMORY_MANAGEMENT): This error suggests issues with RAM or memory-related settings.

5. Check Event Viewer Logs

Windows Event Viewer can provide additional information about the BSODs. Follow these steps:

  1. Type “Event Viewer” into the Windows search bar and select it from the results.
  2. In the Event Viewer, navigate to “Windows Logs” and select “System.”
  3. Look for events with the word “Error” and check for details related to the BSODs. This can provide clues about the problem.

6. Perform a System Restore

If the BSODs started after a recent software installation or update, consider using System Restore to revert your system to a previous state when it was stable:

  1. Type “Create a restore point” in the Windows search bar and select it.
  2. In the System Properties window, click on the “System Restore” button.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to restore your system to a previous point.

7. Contact ASUS Support

If you’ve tried all the above steps and the BSODs persist, it’s advisable to contact ASUS customer support. Your laptop may still be under warranty, and they can provide more specific guidance or arrange for hardware repairs if needed.
