Hello. Several months ago, I embarked on constructing my desired computer system. However, since then, frequently when gaming, I experience a Blue Screen of Death or a sudden game termination. This issue is not tied to specific games—Minecraft, FIFA, PUBG, and countless others—all suffer similarly. Occasionally a crash report appears, but frequently the game simply ceases to function without any further indication. I have also observed occasional Skype crashes, though these occur less frequently.

Here are my computer specifications:

AMD Ryzen 5 3600
AMD Radeon RX 570 8GB
Aorus Elite B450 (My BIOS has been updated to support third-generation Ryzen processors)
HyperX 8GB 3200MHz (I reduced the frequency to 2933MHz, but the problem persists even at a lower speed)
240GB SSD
500GB HDD
Kolink 850W PSU

Some common Blue Screen of Death error codes include IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL, KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED, and several kernel error codes; I am uncertain about the exact nature of these last ones.

I appreciate your response, and I’ve resolved the issue. I recently conducted a memory diagnostic test which showed no errors. Furthermore, the PSU—specifically the Kolink KL-850M (https://kolink.eu/Home/psu-1/kl-series/k...odular)—is a relatively uncommon model, but it appears to be functioning adequately. If others are experiencing this problem, attempting to disable the HD Audio Realtek driver should prevent crashes.

Have you executed a memory diagnostic test using Memtest86 to assess your RAM's reliability? Also, could you provide a URL for the power supply unit? I’m unfamiliar with that manufacturer and it might be contributing to the problem if it's not delivering stable power.

I appreciate your response, and I’ve resolved the issue. I recently conducted a memory diagnostic test, which yielded positive results. Furthermore, while the PSU – specifically the Kolink KL-850M (https://kolink.eu/Home/psu-1/kl-series/k...---modular) – isn’t a widely recognized brand, it performs adequately. To those experiencing similar problems, attempting to disable the HD Audio Realtek driver has successfully prevented crashes for me.
