Hey there! I put together a system for my son a year ago, and lately it's been running cold without any crashes, but Windows won’t load again. The keyboard freezes too—especially when pressing keys. Here are the details: it has a Ryzen 5 5600, 32GB DDR4, 3200MHz, a B550M Aorus Elite AM4 motherboard, an MSI MAG A650BM 650W GPU with M.2 slot, and a RX 590 graphics card. I bought everything second-hand, which is a big mistake for airflow. The freezes seem random, but they happen when playing Fortnite right after starting a session—like after getting off the bus. My son mostly plays Roblox or Minecraft, but it’s getting worse in Minecraft lately. I think the GPU might be the issue, though it’s not too expensive (the RX 590 is around $60 now). I don’t have another card to test, so I’m trying to figure out what logs might help.

Avoid the blue screen; assess the remaining SSD space. Prioritize checking the SSD condition and RAM before testing the RX-590.
