You run memtest86 to rule out a RAM issue, then check with your system reseller or mobo vendor for BIOS mitigations for the latest round of Intel CPU bugs. If you are able to rule out the RAM and CPU, try a different power supply. Failing that, the motherboard itself may be causing the issue.

Unfortunately there are few good ways to narrow down intermittent hardware failures (which is what you are experiencing) beyond these common steps.

The same hardware works flawlessly running Linux.

  • It works so far. That means nothing. Different memory areas, different patterns of bus access, hardware usage and CPU activity. And don't forget different hardware drivers, for that matter.

    However much Windows 11 sucks, BsoDs are vanishingly unlikely to be caused by Windows itself. They haven't managed to degrade it to that extent. At least not yet.

    • I would expect that kicking seven shades of shit out of it with video editing software would be harder work than just attempting to boot to a desktop.
