Could the issue stem from the motherboard or SSD?
I've replaced the motherboard, RAM, CPU, and power supply. I still have my M.2 SSD and regular SSD. I installed a fresh Windows system and from the first boot I encountered issues I'd never experienced before. It began with roughly 20 blue screens of death within about two hours of use. I reinstalled five times, and the problem eventually disappeared. Then there was an issue with the graphics card—after around five minutes in games, the game would crash with an error stating the graphics card wasn't responding. I resolved it by turning on debug mode in NVIDIA settings. The final issue is that games stopped downloading or updating due to a corrupted file; I tried updating from Steam. I own two SSDs and have installed Windows on both drives, but the blue screen problem remains. My guess is the last motherboard likely failed and damaged the drives. Why do you think that? It doesn’t produce any sound. Before making changes, everything worked perfectly. I checked the drives using Victoria and found no errors. What should I do next? How can I confirm if the problem lies with the drive or something else?
Do you possess a solid-state drive that can be used to install Windows after the previous system failed? If not, consider purchasing an affordable internal drive from Microcenter for this purpose. Initially, I considered a graphics card, but I wanted to focus on the SSD first. Do you have any old video cards available?
Apologies for the delayed response. To clarify, I've identified the reason behind my issues. The RAM was fine; the manufacturer confirmed it and returned it. It turned out that the problems I mentioned are resolved instantly by installing Windows 11. The system won't function properly with Windows 10.
It's cool you're thinking this through. You're using the same motherboard, but performance feels a bit lacking compared to what you hoped for. Staying on BIOS 1304 is a smart choice due to past issues and rollback concerns. Switching to Windows 11 could make a noticeable difference—though I'm not sure yet how much. What do others think?
I didn't see any progress on 11 windows. Just more issues to deal with. For me, 10 windows were better. Apologies for the delayed response!
