I initially attempted to run old Windows on the new build, but later removed the M.2 slot and installed Windows on the new one. Before that, I had placed it in the upper M.2 slot.
Upgrading the CPU might have provided the improvement, since the CPU can limit the GPU's performance. I gained some benefit by moving from a 3600xt to a 5800x3d model. Adding more RAM would also have helped.
Follow option one on the link provided:
- After the next BSOD, Windows should create a small memory dump (minidump).
- Open File Explorer and go to C:\Windows\Minidump.
- Copy the generated files to your Desktop.
- Use Windows' built-in feature instead of Winzip.
- Save the files in a compressed folder and upload them to the cloud (OneDrive, Dropbox, etc.).
- Share the link to the uploaded file so we can review it together. This will capture any details if the issue recurs.
