I've had a few blue screens recently, apparently it borked my ability to run sfc /scannow and dism

gemini says your PSU is causing the issue and it's damaged beyond repair

tried to run it from dvd and ISO and yep won't work

psu is 10 years old, seasonic upper end platinum not worked hard at all, barely uses 20% of it's power

windows fires up, firefox tabs load up instantly but my last BSOD I opened up a new tab and boom...kmode exception not handled, previous system service exception

annoying as hell, sfc just worked a few days ago, nothing new so I don't get it

gemini states replace the psu and reintall windows, well it's out of date in 5 months so that would be stupid
I fined tuned it over the years, nightmare to try to figure out all my games, programs, etc and configuration to what I like
sadly eventually I am going to need to install 11 or 12 and reconfigure it to a "classic" look and not all that tile BS

course I could go off script and install mint but what a hell of a learning curve even though the latest looks like window in theory

any ideas?
 
Before doing anything check windows update history and see if it installed any drivers recently. If so roll them back. Not sure why AI is saying it's the PSU. While it could be any hardware component the PSU is unlikely if it's not being stressed at all when the pc crashes.
 
As the other 2 noted, try those vs trusting some AI platform to tell you its the PSU, unless it can read power usage and fluctuations some how, but even then it cant read anything off the PSU directly anyways..

Next, pending how long it has been, could always do a clean install of Windows 10 all together..

Do you plan to go to Windows 11 once Windows 10 support ends this year? Could just go to Win 11?
 
Swap in another drive and fresh install windows (10 or 11)
That's quicker than 24hrs memtest
 
Didn't AI also tell people to put glue into their spaghetti sauce or something?

Based on the info thus far the PSU is far from being the most likely culprit?? Run the windows memory diagnostic or memtest x86 for awhile.. check disk info with manufacturer's diagnostic software or crystal disk info or ??? see if you get errors on either of these... you can also run "sfc /scannow" and see if that finds any issues with current install..

If you want any more "valuable" input from the gallery here upload the BSOD dumps files and maybe we can take a look and see if anyone can add more insight as to the nature of the problem.. however gemini is High AF to say it is the PSU based on what it or we know thus far.
