Thank you for providing the minidump file and your system specifications. I have analyzed the crash report, and I want to share my insight about this issue.
Combined Analysis of Both Crash Dumps
Dump Analysis (061025-4265-01.dmp):
- Bugcheck Code: ATTEMPTED_WRITE_TO_READONLY_MEMORY (be)
- Failing Process: steamwebhelper.exe
- Root Cause: A critical error within the Windows Kernel's memory management functions.
Diagnosis: When a crash occurs deep inside the Windows memory manager and does not blame a specific driver (like your graphics or network driver), it points overwhelmingly to a hardware-level problem with your RAM (memory). The RAM is likely unstable, causing it to feed corrupt data to the operating system, which then crashes when trying to manage it.
Since you have already confirmed the BIOS is updated and the CPU is compatible, we can now focus entirely on resolving the RAM instability. Please follow these steps in order.
Step 1: Disable XMP in BIOS
- Restart your computer and enter the BIOS/UEFI (press "DEL" or "F2").
- Find the setting for XMP (ASUS may call it D.O.C.P.).
- Disable this setting. Your RAM will now run at its slower, but guaranteed stable, default speed.
- Save changes and exit the BIOS.
- Thoroughly test your computer. Play CS2 and use your desktop as normal. If the blue screens stop, we have definitively found the cause.
Step 2: Run a Full Memory Diagnostic
- If the crashes were to continue even with XMP disabled (which is unlikely), or if you want to be 100% certain, a full memory test is required.
- Create a bootable USB drive using MemTest86 (the free version is sufficient).
- Boot your PC from the USB drive and allow the test to run.
- The test must complete at least four full passes without any errors. This process can take several hours.
- Any single error (even just one) reported by MemTest86 confirms your RAM is faulty and must be replaced.
Step 3: Test RAM Sticks Individually
- If MemTest86 finds errors, or if you still suspect a problem, this step will identify which of the two sticks is faulty.
- Shut down the PC and remove one 16GB RAM stick.
- Test the system with only the remaining stick installed.
- If the system is stable, swap the sticks and test with the other one.
- If the crashes only occur when a specific stick is installed, that module is defective.
Hope this helps you.
