I assembled a new PC with a Windows 11 installation without any problems during setup. When playing a game, it would close cleanly after several minutes without errors in the menu. Occasionally it displayed a black screen and restarted immediately. Adding a refurbished GPU to an older system worked perfectly. Recently I rebuilt the system using Windows 10, and after launching a game it ran smoothly for 5-10 minutes before closing again. I also experienced a BSOD with the "page fault in nonpaged area" error once. Installing HWMonitor showed my GPU temperature at 80°C while the game was running, then it shut down. PC specifications include an i5 12600K, 32GB DDR4 RAM, a Corsair Hydro PSU, and a GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2070. SSD is M.2 1TB from SeaGate. I’m seeking advice—possibly the GPU or RAM might be the issue, or maybe Windows 11 still affects it after a clean install? This is my first PC build, so I’m uncertain.

You might want to check your cooling setup since the GPU is reaching high temperatures. If your XMP profile is active, consider testing without it to assess any stability improvements.
