After disassembling my PC for upgrades, constant BSODs kept appearing.
After disassembling my PC for upgrades, constant BSODs kept appearing.
Hey there! Let's tackle this step by step. After your recent upgrades and reassembly, the blue screens persist. Since you've already run SFC scans and reinstalled Windows, here’s what you can try next:
1. Run a full disk check using Windows Recovery Environment.
2. Check for pending driver updates or manufacturer updates for your new components.
3. Perform a chkdsk scan on all drives to ensure data integrity.
4. Use System File Checker (SFC) again after reinstalling Windows.
5. Verify RAM and GPU compatibility with the new CPU cooler.
6. Disable any background services that might conflict.
7. Consider using a different USB port or cable for testing.
8. Update BIOS/UEFI settings if necessary.
9. Consult the manufacturer’s support portal for specific troubleshooting steps.
10. If issues continue, consider seeking help from a professional technician.
Let me know if you need more details on any of these!
Current system details and past operating system information have been recorded. Previous OS included Windows 11 x64 with a Ryzen 7 2700X processor, GTX 1070 graphics, 8GB of memory, and a Gigabyte B450M DS3H power supply. The setup uses a 700W Corsair power adapter. Logs indicate a failure to create Dump Files.
This might be typical behavior. Many GPUs include a quiet mode that halts the fan when power consumption is sufficient. Regarding the other issues, I recommend carefully disassembling and reassembling, ensuring every cable and connector is correctly placed. Best of luck.
The data from the dump files suggests memory issues are likely. Windows moves low-priority RAM info into the page file and retrieves it when needed, making storage appear as memory. The controller is built into the CPU; failure here would cause similar symptoms. Storage-related blame appears in about half of the dumps, which doesn’t match your case—so storage isn’t the main culprit. If there’s any overclocking or undervoltage, remove it. This includes the RAM overclocks you have. You’re using BIOS version F63a, a recent beta release. While F66 would be better, the board lacks Flashback support, so a crash during an update could permanently damage it. Try other components first before deciding if the risk is worth it. To check RAM, run the machine normally with one stick at a time (like installing Windows while you’re reinstalling). If only one stick causes crashes, the problem is likely in the CPU. Memory testers often miss faulty DDR4 and newer RAM.
