I've just started assembling my first PC (yay!), but sometimes it displays a BSOD with "Loading trouble" and offers options to restore or restart. I usually choose restarting. I'm trying to figure out what might be causing this issue. Possible reasons could be: 1. RAM configuration—maybe I changed the frequency in BIOS despite the advertised speed. 2. A faulty 4-pin connector in the P2A port. 3. An unknown software or hardware issue I'm not familiar with. I've applied all the latest updates and drivers so far.

Were you checking your RAM's endurance with an extended stress test?

The "P2A" connector refers to a specific type of 4-pin connector, commonly used for connecting audio devices to a computer's sound card. It is not typically found in standard motherboard power sockets.

Did you activate the XMP/DOCP setting, or did you set the frequency to 3600MHz while keeping all other parameters unchanged?

It depends—10 hours on your computer might be enough, but a real stress test could be better to check performance limits.

Activated the XMP profile within the BIOS settings.

On my previous powersupply, a connector labeled P2A was inserted into the CPU power port, leading me to believe there might be a particular four-pin component offering higher voltage or power capacity.

It might be the P2A connector issue, even though your computer seems stable enough to run. This could lead to unexpected crashes. Perform an OCCT stress test or memtest 64 for eight hours; if no errors appear, the problem lies with the P2A connector. Avoid using the PC during the stress test—either schedule it overnight or use another machine for work.
