Frequent crashes or freezing issues are occurring.
Started with the PC on eBay for $40, including just the motherboard, RAM, CPU I replaced, and the HDD. I swapped in a GPU I bought from my cousin’s prebuilt system, and it worked fine for about a year. Recently, I began playing games—from Valve to basic Minecraft—and experienced frequent BSODs, freezes, and crashes. I assumed the issue was my RAM, so I replaced it a few days ago. Now I’m still seeing crashes even with light usage like Valve, and I have no other solutions in mind. I’ve tried everything possible, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I didn't replace anything previously. Please confirm the current processor model. After that, verify the thermal readings, look for driver updates, and scan for malware and viruses.
Pair this Ryzen 5 3600 with a Ryzen 5 3600X cooler for better performance.
The motherboard BIOS is completely current. Corsair RAM performs well in AM4 setups. EVGA W1 delivers poor power delivery. W10 on a hard drive causes significant delays. The key concern is replacing it with an SSD immediately.
These problems might actually come from your hard drive instead of your RAM. Since you could swap in new RAM, it’s worth checking if that fixes things. If not, consider replacing the SSD.
Yes,for ram compatibility there is a issue. Important:- your motherboard and CPU only support upto 3200 mhz ram but "I don't know if it is undervolting your 3600 mhz ram or not." Note:- please check your ram usage as you can have any unnecessary software like malware or something running in background taking up lots of space by opening task manager after 5 to 8 or even 12 mi nutes of turning on your PC "with internet on" (happened to me also). For hard disk part of you're using windows 10 then it will be slow but it depends on you if you could adjust with that or not. Edited May 28, 2024 by Nikol Sahoo..
