Hello, thank you for reaching out. I recently set up a new PC and am facing several problems, including blue screen issues and program failures because of missing DLL files. I've installed all the drivers and Windows updates, and even tried switching from Windows 10 to Windows 11, but the problem persists. Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
On Windows, search for "Windows Memory Diagnostic" in the taskbar or start menu. This built-in tool will restart the system and begin a memory check. For additional testing, consider using Memtest86—a portable memory tester you should download and install on an empty flash drive before booting. Don't forget to verify your GPU as well, even if it seemed fine recently. These are potential causes; choose what suits your needs.
I reinstalled Windows cleanly again, reformatted it so I can use Windows 10 because I didn’t like Windows 11. In the meantime, I removed the graphics card before installation, and while the situation has improved slightly, I’m still encountering blue screens or DLL errors.
You've just installed a new setup including the Intel i7 14700K and other components. Someone mentioned possible issues with the GPU, possibly the MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti, which is now handling your video output. The memory tests confirmed everything was fine, so the blue screens likely stem from something else—maybe a driver issue or power problems. It's wise to keep the old GPU in case you need to revert later.
