The Beast was stable. No crashes. No BSOD.

Leo was a tinkerer. He built his own gaming PC, lovingly named "The Beast," three years ago. It had been a faithful companion for late-night coding sessions and epic space battles. But lately, The Beast had developed a terrible habit. Midway through rendering a video or sometimes just when idling on the desktop, the screen would freeze, stutter into a pattern of noise, and then display the dreaded Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). The error message was always cryptic: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT .

It didn’t fix the problem. But it gave Leo the one thing he desperately needed: a definitive answer that the problem was hardware, not software. And sometimes, knowing what the enemy is, is half the battle won.
