Repeated crashes after installing Windows on a brand new PC with an old drive
Hello everyone, I’ve just finished setting up my new PC. Most components are from my old machine except for the PSU, an M.2 SSD, and two HDDs. I’ve experienced repeated BSOD errors while installing programs, drivers, or games—especially when launching command prompt or changing default browsers. Here’s what I think about my current setup:
- Motherboard: B550 Aorus Elite AX V2 (BIOS v14)
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
- GPU: ASUS RTX 3060 Ti
- Operating System: Windows 10 Home
When the system powers on, it doesn’t recognize the Windows install from my old M.2 drive. I fixed this by moving a fresh Windows installation to a separate M.2 card, which worked initially. After several BSODs pointing to memory, drivers, or Windows issues, I cleared both M.2 drives and reinstalled Windows again. Still, the same problems continue, and I’m unsure what to try next.
I’ve attached a Dropbox link with a BSOD dump and PERFMON output for reference:

And here’s an Imgur album of some of the errors I’ve seen:
