@ everyone following me for art, worry not about the non-art spam, my PC has been having intermittent BSOD issues so I've been holding off on some things while I figure it out. lol

Probably more faulty RAM, which is insane as it's only like 9 months installed, but the faulty RAM last year corrupted several of my complex Clip Studio Paint files (1-5 layers of each corrupting) and forced me to reinstall Windows due to corrupt drivers, so I'm playing it safe. 🫠

#olessan oration #the other option is my outdated chipset and BIOS version #but like usually you don't touch the BIOS often unless you NEED to update as a bad BIOS update can and will brick the entire computer-#- or othewise royally mess it up #my chipset driver is from 2021 tho so I'm debating on updating that to see if my weird USB issues are fixed with that BUT #the USB issues are 90% related to my USB wifi adapter whose most recent driver is from 2020 so I may also just need to get a new one #I intentionally didn't get an internal wifi card because it's 2.5 asscheeks to open up the PC JUST to change a PCiE component that's-#- not like. important. like a GPU #I'm having an issue with my networks all failing at once and semi bricking the PC requiring a hard shut down #which could be the wifi adapter driver or the RAM or the chipset #or something else #but that hadn't happened since the new RAM and the windows refresh BUT I am also using my mobile hotspot for the first time since then #as my internet has been out for 3 days #and my PC DESPISES my phone data hotspot for some reason #so idk if it's because of that or because of the RAM or the adapter driver that's causing the hard shutdowns it could be all 3
