My computer is repeatedly displaying blue screens and my games are frequently crashing.
My computer is repeatedly displaying blue screens and my games are frequently crashing.
Recently, I completely upgraded my PC due to a motherboard failure and determined it was a better investment to purchase more modern components. Since the upgrade, my PC has experienced numerous blue screens, crashes while gaming (ranging from a few seconds to an hour), and random program closures, even with Chrome. I have attempted various troubleshooting steps, including formatting and reinstalling Windows 10 (Pro on multiple occasions using different USB drives), running the Windows Memory Diagnostic, updating the BIOS, changing RAM slots, updating all drivers, and doubling virtual memory. My PC specifications are as follows: Intel Core i5-9400f, 8GB DDR4 2666MHz RAM (one stick), GIGABYTE B360M GAMING HD, ZOTAC GTX 1050 Ti Mini 4GB, SENTEY 650W BXP65-OR, 1.5 TB hard drive, and a Samsung EVO 850 250GB SSD.
I initially suspected an issue with the power supply, but it functioned without problems with my previous setup (which I had overclocked), and now that everything on my new computer is set to its default settings, it crashes and displays blue screens. However, it does not consume more watts than my old PC.
