I recently replaced some parts of my build from the power spec G221 prebuilt. I upgraded to a Ryzen 3700X, a Gigabyte X570 gaming X motherboard, a new EVGA 650W PSU, Corsair Vengeance RAM 16GB (2x8) at 3200MHz, and kept my GTX 1060 with 6GB RAM. However, all my Steam games crash within about 15 minutes of starting them. There are no error messages or codes. After uninstalling Steam and reinstalling a few games, the issue persisted. Other games in different browsers work fine, and my CPU/GPU temperatures stay around 55°C and 70°C during load. Any suggestions?

No, I haven't reinstalled Windows yet after the motherboard installation.

According to Slottr, always reinstall Windows after any hardware modifications since drivers only update properly during installation. Changing hardware can cause issues if you don't reinstall the OS.

I attempted to reset Windows using the recovery settings, but it kept refusing and no online method seemed to help. Is there another option to reinstall Windows without a USB drive?

The device isn't compatible with USB connections.

I'm not sure about the situation, but if I don't need it, I'll just take it. Otherwise, I'll go through with it.

It would make sense to invest $5 in an 8GB USB drive for this, yes
