When I check Windows reliability center, I am noticing crashes more and more frequently. This is not for me streaming, but for what I assume is various users on my server. Nobody has reported any specific playback issues, however.

I have on multiple occasions uninstalled and reinstalled the media server itself, as well as removed the graphics drivers (DDU) and reinstalled on a separate boot. GPU drivers are production branch 581.80 (x64).

Processor AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT 8-Core Processor 3.80 GHz  
Installed RAM 32.0 GB  
Storage 1.86 TB SSD SPCC M.2 PCIe SSD  
Graphics Card NVIDIA Quadro P2200 (5 GB)  
Device ID D3F6FD89-1A84-45A3-8C27-9C362192A824  
Product ID 00330-80000-00000-AA952  
System Type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor  
Pen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display

Edition Windows 10 Pro  
Version 22H2  
Installed on ‎10/‎18/‎2025  
OS Build 19045.6575

This is a complete and fresh OS install as of 10/18/25, new hardware, new OS, new PMS, etc. Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated.
