Pc cannot display a blue screen upon crash, system locking up randomly
I felt this section was appropriate because it is bsod related. Anyways, i built a pc earlier this year, and recently it has been freezing up with an annoying vurrrrrr noise if sound is playing when the crash occurs, is a silent crash otherwise. So whenever this system crashes, no blue screen is shown, and the event log shows nothing, except the dns saying the system cannot find the file specified, which i doubt it would be the cause of the crash because the same events were logged during the window of time when i had no crashes prior. I had exactly one crash i know is supposed to show a blue screen which was a NOT_EQUAL_OR_LESS stop error that didnt display the blue screen. So i cannot diagnose my pc, starting to think it was the board or ran, but memtest showed passinf results, the crash also seems to happen quicker if my E drive hdd is being accessed, however it has no programs on it, so I have ruled out it being some program on it. My question, is how would one resolve the lack of a blue screen on crash issue and at this point im at a brick wall here and am considering buying another computer as i've got no leads on what could be causing the crashes
