I recently changed my PC from an ASUS ROG Strix Z370f Gaming board and 8700k to an MSI MPG Z690 EDGE Wi-Fi board with a 13700k. The system runs smoothly and logs into Windows without issues, but it freezes or crashes after about ten minutes. I’ve tried reactivating Windows, updating drivers, and resetting everything, yet I can’t finish these steps before the crash. I’m unsure how to handle any of the event viewer data. My only constraint is the time I can spend analyzing it before it stops working. I’m really stuck and might need assistance Smile. I can also share screenshots if requested.

It seems you're asking about whether your current Windows setup matches the one on your previous system. I suggest reinstalling when switching motherboards, since such issues can arise unexpectedly. Are your CPU cooler and fans connecting properly? If you perform a soft restart right after a crash, does the system remain stable longer before failing again?

It seems the heat paste is sticking properly, and the texture appears good. I've attempted a gentle reset, but nothing has worked.

You can usually improve performance without reinstalling Windows in many situations... But ideally you should remove the outdated chipset drivers before upgrading your hardware to increase your chances. That being said, did you really just upgrade the motherboard and CPU? You should also replace your RAM—your old board uses DDR4 while the new one is DDR5. It’s a good idea to check your new components with tools like memtest86 or prime95 during a blend test that includes all selected RAM. You might also try booting from a USB live Linux environment and run it for 10–20 minutes to see if it works. If it does, the problem is likely software-related; if not, hardware issues are more probable.

I'm working with an DDR4 system and running memtest to verify the RAM installation after removing it from my previous motherboard.

If you were me, I’d try the live CD setup to verify stability (including temperature checks). Then I’d simply reinstall the operating system and applications. It’s been a hassle trying to fix things over time, so I’d rather skip it and just reinstall everything. Just make sure your backups are solid before doing that. You could also share your experience with bluescreenview if you want advice—though honestly, I’d prefer a clean install instead of dealing with the frustration.
