In short, I upgraded my PC's motherboard and processor. After some usage, the screen would freeze or restart after a few minutes, lasting up to two hours. I ran memory tests and found no faulty bytes. Using CPU-Z, Prime95, and FurMark, the system froze only once—though I think it was just a coincidence given how many tests I performed. I reformatted the drive, reinstalled drivers, and reassembled the PC, but the issue continued.

I also noticed the processor kept getting hot, reaching temperatures of about 75 to 80 degrees even when idle. This seems unlikely to be the main cause because during stress tests it reached 90 degrees without freezing. According to HWinfo, the CPU was drawing around 77 watts at voltages of 1.2 to 1.3 volts.

Today, I restarted the PC and saw a blue screen that prevented booting, citing a missing winload or similar issue. When I used my old motherboard and processor on the same drive, it worked fine. The Event Viewer logged a critical error labeled Kernel-Power 41.

The device is still under warranty. I believe the core problem might be related to overheating or a faulty motherboard. If anyone has additional advice, please let me know.
