Solved! Brand New Asus ROG Strix GL703GS Crashing & Restarting

[blackmice121]

Just got my new laptop today, and so far it's crashed and restarted about 5 times.

It starts with Windows Explorer freezing up, Microsoft Edge going black, and then soon after goes to BSOD and quickly restarts.

I've checked the event viewer and this is the error message that it shows:

Only when you on edge? try another browser ?
Could be a bad OS install or hardware failed. could try a reset or just return

It only seemed to happen after I installed all the new updates (although to be fair I only used it for a couple hours before updating), and I don't have a system restore I can move it back to prior to the updates.

If it's not something with a simple fix and it is indeed a hardware problem then I'll definitely just return it seeing as I'd rather not have paid £1,500 for a faulty laptop.
