I tried to reinstall windows through a USB because on my Victus laptop but now it just crashed when I get to somewhere between 10-30% of the installation. Before attempting to install a new windows 11 via USB, I think I messed up the registry and it crashed like 3 times before I had to manually go into recovery mode and enter windows 11 through there to use my computer normally. I was on discord with a friend and when attempting to play mc my pc would kick me from the call or just crash. I was tired of my laptop crashing constantly so I attempted to reinstall windows 11 via USB. After i deleted all partitions and attempted to install windows 11, Around 10-15% it just crashed or restarted. I tried again and it restarted again. I tried to set bios back to system defaults and that did nothing. I disabled virtualization technology and it went up to like 30-40% before crashing again. I ran system diagnostics and ran a scan on memory and ssd and both were fine. I attempted to install windows 10 and that actually worked. Now that I was in windows 10, i tried to update drivers but then I realized my WIFI driver didn't work and I couldn't connect to the internet. I used the same USB as before to transport a WIFI driver to my Victus and I got WIFI working. I tried to install updates (from the check updates button in windows updates in settings) but 4-5 HP driver updates failed to download. I tried reinstalling but them my laptop crashed again. I kept trying and my laptop would crash randomly. Even when idle, it would crash. I booted into safe mode and it still crashed. I installed amd adrenaline and installed the latest drivers anfd it still crashed. Some of the Stop codes i got throughout this whole process were KERNAL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE (0X139), DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (0xD1), and MEMORY_MANAGMENT. I dont know what to do now, Can anyone help?

    If there is currently a version of Windows installed on your laptop, please check to see if your PC is producing any minidump files, I will check those to see if they provide any insight into a potential cause of the system crashes.

    Please do not upload a very large Memory.dmp file.

    Open Windows File Explorer.

    Navigate to C:\Windows\Minidump

    Copy any minidump files onto your Desktop, then zip those up.

    Upload the zip file to the Cloud (OneDrive... etc.), then choose to share those and get a share link.

    Then post the link here to the zip file, so I can take a look for you.

    For the problems installing Windows 11, either the Windows 11 USB you were using is corrupt, or because of all the problems you indicate, there may be an underlying hardware fault.

    The best option is to create a new bootable Windows 11 USB on a different USB flash drive using the official Media Creation Tool.

    Then reset BIOS to defaults to undo any changes you previously made in BIOS.

    Insert the USB into your laptop and start it.

    On the HP logo screen, repeatedly press Esc, then on the next menu, press F9 to get the temporary boot menu and select the USB as the boot option to begin the installation.
