I've been getting intermittent BSODs on my custom-built PC, primarily with the stop code "SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION," but the crashes are random enough that I can't reliably reproduce them for diagnosis. I've run memory diagnostics and checked disk health, which came back clean, and I'm hesitant to start swapping hardware components without more direction. For others who have tackled elusive BSODs, what systematic software troubleshooting steps did you find most effective after basic hardware checks, and are there specific driver analysis tools or Windows event log filters that helped you pinpoint the culprit?
