Would anyone be willing to help me make sense of this DMP file?

Computer is an HP Omen 30L, running Windows 11 Pro 24H2. I was watching a video stream, when my computer froze up solid for a second or two with the sound becoming like a buzz. Then it unfroze and everything continued as normal. I checked the Event Viewer logs around the time that this happened and found that it listed a BSOD. I ran it through WinDbg and it came up with the following code: Pastebin of code If this was an actual BSoD, it never actually crashed out, nor did I have to reboot. It was able to recover from it on its own. But still, it's rather concerning as this machine has been really solid for me since 2021, but in the past year, it's had maybe three of these, the last two coming within a week or so. Help appreciated. Thanks.

Guy54435 I just don't understand because I had it OCed for years and then all of a sudden this starts. Maybe it's starting to wear out. I've had this machine since 2021.

OmegaWolf747 When did you last disassemble for cleaning?

OmegaWolf747 Perhaps some setting changed in an update somewhere or the other, which then pushed another overclocked setting over or right on the edge so to speak, creating instability in certain situations. Some times they are critical and other times just have a hiccup that is unexplained.

Somewhat-Reticent I try to do it about once a year or so. Usually over my week-long break in March. That time's coming up. I think I'll pop out my graphics card and do the BIOS reset by pulling out the battery then. It was such a great idea to hide the battery and the jumper under the graphics card! I can't think the motherboard maker enough for doing that! 🦖

Even more fun is accessing NVMe drives in some of my motherboards. Even with the video card taken out, you have to be a magician not to lose one of those ridiculously small screws.

SSDs are amazing to me. They replace hard drives, but look like RAM. Gone are the days of giant drive bays with hard drives and optical drives. Just slide a little SSD in anywhere and you have room for extra fans in place of drive bays.

They are also much faster than hard drives. I mean MUCH faster.

Wow! That's quite a speed gain. I can see why magnetic hard drives are on the way out, if not already faded totally into obsolescence.

Flash memory is also notorious for suddenly becoming "read-only", especially with heavy use.
Spinning rust has its place, so does flash. Let each do what it does well, if space permits.
( "Industrial" flash should be a bit more durable than consumer flash. )

Guy54435 That could be. Windows 11 updates itself automatically, so it's hard to say which one would be the cause. I'll play around with it when I dismantle and clean it next month. I'll just leave well enough alone until then. At least it works for now.

Somewhat-Reticent That's why, if I do build a new PC, I'll absolutely add a regular HDD as a backup.
