So I decided to "upgrade" my Windows 10 dualboot install to Windows 7 (dualbooted with Arch Linux.) It worked out and I managed to install it, put my Windows Longhorn themes on it and install some programs, but there is a problem. At random times of day, the PC decides to bluescreen itself. Heck, I even got a BSOD while writing this. However, the BSOD does not display on screen, my monitor tells me there is no output. When I reboot, it tells me that Windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown, event name "BlueScreen," locale ID 1033. This also happened a year ago when I did the same thing, but I went back to the Win10 dumpster fire (I did not have Linux at the time.) I believe that this may be related to the AMD Ryzen processor, as Win7 is not designed for it and it has many known issues. This time I used the updated 2020 ISO from this forum (found it a few days ago on r/Windows7.)

System specs:
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (Service Pack 1)
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 1500x Quad-Core Processor, 3493 Mhz
BIOS Version: American Megatrends Inc. P4.90 10/8/2018
RAM: 16GB
GPU: nVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660
Installed on UEFI

I will attach the minidump and WER sysdata dump if I can. Any help would be appreciated! I am sorry if this is not a help forum, I'm just tired of seeing the "just upgrade to windows 10 idiot" trolls.

Windows 7 UEFI. That's the reason. Get yo ass on MBR before it's too late.
