I am getting quite a lot of bugs since 9th November. I am a heavy productivity user. I use CPU for video editing, sound mixing, while I use my GPU for cuda programming.

For work I rely heavily on pdf editor, I am research scientist. And pdf Change is what we use. It started crashing. I checked event viewer and it says 0xc0000005 error.

I updated bios, drivers etc and ran all hardware scans viz. Memtest, SMART, OCCT, cinebench, and a few more no errors or crashes.

Then I noticed that windows files were corrupted to the point I couldn’t run media creation tool.

I reinstalled windows and everything is the same. No improvement.

I saw a lot of reddit threads about memory leaks and faulty CPU that doesn’t show any errors in tests. Is this one such case?

Anyone else have any idea to pin point what could be the culprit?
