Hello, I'm dealing with a couple of issues that I partially resolved. Initially, there were numerous BSODs across most games, but they stopped after I swapped out the CPU cooler. The ASUS AIO 240mm had temperatures near 60°C during gaming. The new AMD Wraith Prism cooler brought up the temps to about 65-70°C. Anyone know why I was experiencing BSODs with the old cooler even though the temperatures were lower? Second, some demanding games are now crashing in a different way—textures disappear and the game freezes afterward. If it's running on the system SSD (Samsung 970 Pro 500GB), the PC restarts immediately. With the second SSD (Samsung 970 EVO+ 1TB), it crashes into Windows, but I can't launch other games from that drive until I restart. Also, my 4TB Seagate HDD sometimes stops working and makes strange noises. After a restart, everything works fine and tests show no issues. Could this be related to the power supply unit? I have an R7 3700X, 32GB RAM, RTX 3080, and a Chieftec A90 750W PSU that's several years old.
