Hello everyone, I hope you're all doing well. Just yesterday I changed my graphics card from 3700x to 7800x3d. I upgraded to a new setup with Asus TUF B650M, Corsair Dominator 4800 CL, and Windows 10. I kept the old SSD running Windows 11, but after the upgrade it wouldn't boot anymore—it would fail and prompt me to restart or try a different operating system. Interestingly, my other SSD worked fine with Windows 10, and I think the issue might be tied to the TPM key. I've tried installing the AMD chipset driver, but the process kept failing with errors. I also installed Steam, Opera GX, Notepad++, and VMware Player. Everything seemed normal for a while before a blue screen appeared, followed by memory management problems. After rebooting, I restarted and resumed work, but then a blue screen reappeared. The event log showed the fault module was ntdll.dll. It happened again after downloading Windows updates, and I kept needing to reload the page. A third blue screen came later, with the PC freezing completely and not rebooting. I checked for updates and found two, but nothing critical. During a long YouTube session last night, I fell asleep, shut down, and came back the next day. The event viewer indicated an issue with ntdll.dll, but no more crashes. I tried partitioning my 2TB SSD into two drives, which might be related. The fresh Windows install was on the new NVMe drive. I don’t have the images yet, but I’ll get them if needed. I’m considering disabling the EXPO feature to see if it helps. This seems like a Windows 10 problem—should I upgrade to 11? Is it a driver, CPU, or memory issue? Anyone else facing similar problems? I use this PC for work, so stability is important. Thanks and let me know if you have any tips. Have a great day!
I use cinebench r23 smoothly and never see the CPU exceed 80°C. When I tried the Windows memory diagnostic, the completion rate was very low—only a fraction of what I pressed F1 for. Eventually, I had to restart the system.
It shouldn't happen, Ryzen 7000 actually supports Windows 10 quite well. Even with a 12th or 13th generation processor, Windows 10 should usually run without random blue screens unless the operating system is damaged. For such blue screens, driver problems are unlikely. Memory problems are more probable; I’d run a stress test to verify if RAM is the cause. The CPU remains a possibility, particularly if you’re using tools like Curve Optimizer on that chip, which can sometimes trigger minor memory instability. However, unless you’re applying those settings, a faulty CPU is improbable (there aren’t many mid-range chips in that range).
