Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD) issue on Asus miniPC

What is Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD)

The blue screen of death (BSOD) is a warning that appears when your computer interrupts operations and displays this warning on a blue screen. It's formally known as a "stop error." The warning alerts you to a critical problem that is causing Windows to reboot.


Root Causes

  1. Hardware failure (Faulty HDD, Memory, CPU, Motherboard, Power Supply)
  2. Software Failure (Operating System, installed Software errors) 

Case Example 

BSOD and unexpected power-down issues with the new Asus Mini PC.


Root Cause of the Case

The BSOD was revealed to be caused by the use of an unsuitable low-ampere power adapter, 
Example:-Using Power Adapter -19V 2.5 Amps instead of the ASUS PN64 Mini PC Recommended Power - 20V DC 6A.

Resolution

The issue was caused by the use of a low-amperage power adapter, which failed to supply sufficient power for the MiniPC to operate properly. As a result, the system experienced unexpected shutdowns during boot and occasional BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) errors.
