I received a Ryzen 5 3600 from my cousin during his upgrade. It functioned well with his 1660 Super, but after swapping it into my PC with a 1600, it frequently triggers a BSOD. The Event Viewer displays the message: "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly." I've attempted to disable XMP settings, adjust the display bar, and reinstall Windows. My 6700xt runs smoothly with a 1600, but this processor seems problematic. I also had to reset the TPM during installation, and BSODs occur more often during demanding games or while just watching YouTube. I've attached photos of my system and the BSOD screenshots.

Did you erase the CMOS after replacing the hardware? The Ryzen system struggles with changes unless you perform a reset.

I removed the battery briefly after the BSOD began, but I'm not sure if it resolved the issue.

In theory it should work, though I generally don’t rely on that approach. There should be jumpers at the base of the board: when the PSU is unplugged, use a screwdriver to briefly connect those pins.

Uncertain if the issue involves the GPU because of the strange BSOD screen, but if so, the problem isn’t tied to why your system crashes. It’s a Windows bug that appears when the display resolution exceeds 1080p. Visit C:\Windows\Minidump to see if any minidump files exist. If present, return to the Windows directory and move the Minidump folder to the Downloads folder (or use your desktop if OneDrive isn’t available). Compress the new folder and send it in a message. Please follow each step carefully since Windows doesn’t allow changes there.

After resetting the CMOS, I encountered another BSOD while testing Starfeild. I've included the Minidump file from your instructions. 100823-17203-01.zip

I've attached all files from the Minidump folder. The most recent BSOD displayed the message "irql_not_less_or_equal." Minidump.zip

RAM appears to be present. After installing the CPU, make sure to reposition the RAM modules in case any were shifted during installation. Also, try erasing the CMOS without activating settings such as XMP or DOCP once they're enabled. If problems persist, the issue might stem from the CPU itself—especially with 3000 series Ryzen units, which can sometimes behave like RAM if defective. You might also want to inspect the CPU pins.

I replaced the RAM and only changed the CPU. The one I used previously functioned well in another PC as well.
