Here’s a rephrased version of your text:

The only components outside this setup are my 4TB HDD and a 500GB Samsung SSD, which don’t run Windows or any software on them. My system has been experiencing frequent crashes lately, and I’m still trying to identify the cause. Sometimes it shows a blue screen, while more often it freezes completely—monitors turn off and then the machine restarts without a blue screen. The previous blue screen involved a SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION, causing dxgkrnl.sys to fail. After researching, it seems related to graphics issues, but I’ve updated my drivers via Display Driver Uninstaller and still haven’t resolved the issue. I turned off overclocking settings with MSI afterburner, yet the problem persists. My motherboard is now running the latest BIOS, which hasn’t helped. Intel’s software also doesn’t require updates for my M.2 drive. Windows itself is current, supporting Windows 10. Crashes only occur when playing Retail World of Warcraft. This never happened before; I played it for six months without issues, but now the machine crashes completely. I can still play Classic World of Warcraft without problems. The issue doesn’t seem to be tied to WoW either—just a few days ago, after closing the game and running a virus scan on the M.2 drive, the computer crashed hard. I don’t recall a blue screen, but I’m unsure if it was related. I’ve run memory diagnostics and they show no faults. The SFC /scannow command didn’t help either. It’s unclear if overheating the GPU is the cause, since I notice fans spinning rapidly when it gets hot. I have no idea how to fix this. I could try forcing a crash if needed, to capture crash logs or errors from Retail World of Warcraft, but I’ve checked error codes and forums linked to DirectX without success.
