    But that's not a GPU error code, thus, looks more like a power issue also causing video corruption.

    The adapter PSU may have failed or using an adapter with wrong amp and/or voltage rating.

      It doesn't have to be, a failing GPU can cause all sorts of codes, I used to repair them a while back and it seemed to be whichever code was pulled out of the bag.

        That sounds more like a text book symptom of CPU instability.

        Looks more like a compound problem, where they're multiple issues.

        I often suspect the PSU or caps.

        It does look like a problem with the system RAM. (Likely symptoms of failing RAM with onboard graphics)

          RAM
          CPU
          GPU
          Power Adapter

          Where should I look first?

            Easiest one is RAM. Test with one stick at a time and see what it does.

              Right on. The battery isn't the best, but it does hold a charge for a short time. If the power adapter was bad, would the battery hide the symptoms?

                DRIVER_PNP_WATCHDOG error re. old drivers in Windows 11 install image
                by japlytic
                In a Beelink GTR mini PC, mine has an Intel AX200NGW WLAN module.

                Tried (only with keyboard/mouse connected):
                • BIOS + database update
                • Using latest Windows 11 image built with official image creation tool
                • Previous setup version for Windows 11 installer
                • Replacing SSD without a slow block (the previous SSD had a slow block with access time > 500 mS)
                • TPM reset (worked to the point where DRIVER_PNP_WATCHDOG error message is displayed briefly after the point of stalling)
                • Disabling power to WLAN and LAN modules in BIOS (Advanced > AMD PBS > PCI Express Configuration)
                ...

                PRECISION 3510 BSoD when installing windows
                by kuraimangetsu
                Hi.
                I received a dell precision 3510.
                works fine on bios
                but i always get a BSoD when installing windows 7-10-11 64-86 uefi or legacy.

                tried changing RAM and swap slots.
                changed the M.2 to new one too.
                tried like 15 different OS! same thing! still getting BSoD when installing windows.
                tried hirens BOOT, but still getting system crash after two minutes.
                even tried linux still getting crash while installing

                tried updating bios and downgrading it same thing

                is reflashing new bios straight to the IC is...
