  2. Close unneeded work safely and retry once, then compare the app’s requirements and logs with the actual resource limit.
  3. If the whole PC freezes or storage errors appear, protect data and use official PC diagnostics.

After one step, repeat the original operation and record whether this same code returns. A different code needs a fresh interpretation.
