As mentioned above, almost everytime I log into windows, just few moments and then a BSOD, with different reason each time. After thorough investigation I found the problem with the AC. I installed and everything works like before, except that I have to disable the AI OC. I did a clean uninstall using the official uninstaller, cleared the CMOS,I ran all windows repair functions, re-installed AC again and activated the AI OC and then BSOD again everytime. The symptoms since the update that the lighting is delayed after logging into windows and sometimes I get a warning that one USB device is not recognizable which is related to the lighting functions. In addition, as you can see from the scrrenshot below I'm getting huge number of errors because of AACambient lighting, continuously maybe like 2-3 time a min. it took me 3 attempts just to be able to write this post because of the BSOD.
Windows 11 Pro, latest BIOS & drivers updated.

Trying to understand your post. To be clear, the crashes only occur when AI OC is enabled? The overclock is unstable, then. Can you list full system specs.

It happens more when AI C enabled but also happens when it is totally off. The only situation when BSOD stops is when AC is uninstalled.

Disable XMP/EXPO and AI OC, retest stability.

also, is it normal to have more than 2,500 error faults in 1 hour from AACambient lighting? this never happened before update as well.

I'm not positive about what exactly has AC and .Net so unhappy on your system but a lot of people, myself included, have had issues with the latest AC v6.1.13.0. To get things stable on my computer I had to uninstall Armoury Crate using the removal utility and then used the offline full download installer of 5.9.9.0 to get the older version of AC running. You can find the link to the page with the installer in my reply on this forum post. If you don't have any luck getting AC v6.1.13.0 working you can try downgrading like I did and see if it's stable that way.
Good luck.

I will do that now. AC V6 is unusable to me causing crashes and USB devices not detected, total mess for me TBH

I tried to install the full package but the installer stuck on Unzipping the component like 1/8 of the way! have you experienced something like this?
04-07-2025 05:12 PM
During my install it acted like it was hung and took several minutes to get through the first unzipping part. How long did you wait?
