I've got a modern build: GTX 1660 Super, Ryzen 5 3400G, 2x 8gb NVMe drives, gigabyte A320-S2H, 128GB SSD, and a Seagate Barracuda 2TB. I might also have a used Windows 10 Pro key. Recently, my PC would crash during games. It started after installing the 2TB drive. At that time, I was using a GTX 1060 6GB. I had to remove it because the SATA ports weren't accessible. My main worry was the latch—when I uninstalled it, I didn’t notice it, so I tugged until I found it. After plugging it back in, the game crashed again. Over time, blue screens appeared with GPU driver errors. This got worse when I played Overwatch in windowed mode while checking Task Manager. I tried reinstalling drivers, but the problems persisted. My ideas are: 1) The CPU might be faulty, 2) The GPU might have been damaged during removal, or 3) There could be an issue with the boot SSD. What do you think?

Consider using another PCIe lane for the GPU.

It's the sole PCIe port that accommodates a graphics card.

I checked the incorrect board, but it wasn't what I was expecting. Would you like to ask a friend for help?
