If you're dragging a once high-zoot graphics card along with you from days gone by, that may be your culprit.

Already did that but not in that order. I experienced the problem before any modification performed. I know better than to add stuff before vetting the computer and I ran it a week before adding that USB C hard drive tower. The BSOD error continues to surface, maybe once every other week even though that addon is not accessed.

How to Fix a Kmode Exception Not Handled Error in Windows
Don't panic! Your BSOD is probably easy to fix.
The "fast mode" part is of particular interest to me.
The obvious first place to look would be Dell if you were getting this error prior to any "enhancements" (installing software or hardware of any kind -- including elderly Microsoft products). I suspect that you would have to pay for an answer at Best Buy but you can always ask.
Been there done that. Ran into the circular blame game often with PCs. Don't get me started on the Geek Squad.
Yet you bought a budget Dell Computer from Best Buy anyway.
Yes, I have no problem with their store and inventory. It was in stock and lower price than Amazon. Based on internet search for that particular error, nothing would be accomplished by returning it as it is not an error that is common to the computer I purchased. Only that I would be wasting my time.Yet you bought a budget Dell Computer from Best Buy anyway.
If it came out of the box bad, I'd at least threaten to return it.
It may or may not be an "error" but it is certainly a problem that nobody should be having with a new computer. I've had two bluescreens on my two-year-old home-built computer and both of them were as a result of faulty Windows updates.
This is where we disagree. If the issue is an OS bug or software App bug or a non-Dell device driver bug then that has nothing to do with the Dell hardware. Of course the device driver survey doesn't analyze for bugs. It only aids in knowing if my drivers are out of date and updates them for me. A Dell driver may still be the problem but I suspect it is windows 11 in this case as the issue seems to be present regardless who made the computer.
Nobody is suggesting that. It's an annoyance for now and that's why after over a month of sporadic events, I decided to ask if others have a similar problem and it appears to be quite common with more than windows 11.
If it come out of the box that way, it most certainly does. IIRC, you mentioned that this was happening before you set about to enhance the computer.
With advancements in communications and social media, six incidents can appear to be quite common even when the market is 60 million.
Yes, everything is up to date.
This may be where things went south. I'm not sure if there is any way to reverse this short of a factory refresh of Windows (and maybe not even then with UEFI).
Windows 11 is hardly new. I ran Win 11 pro on my custom built, and still do switch back occasionally, and have never had that issue or a BSOD.
No, because it isn't that frequently. I'm happy all of you have such perfect experience with windows 11 and never have a problem. But obviously, the KMODE error is a common enough event that there are quite a few tech responses in a simple google search going back to windows 7.
