In June I assembled a new setup with a Rtx 3090, an i9 13900k, 64GB RAM, a 1000W power supply, and additional components. From October onward, I've faced recurring random crashes in software and games, plus numerous blue screens and frequent restarts. These issues often occur when launching games or applications, sometimes even during gameplay. I've tested various solutions without success, as each attempt either didn't help or introduced new problems. I'm unsure what might be triggering these problems. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Could you clarify which tests or evaluations you're referring to?

Other updates include new drivers, fresh software downloads, replacing RAM modules, and running applications in reduced windows or safe mode. These are the only details I recall at this point.

Are your BIOS settings current? DDR5 sometimes faced some early problems, so updating it can help resolve those issues. It’s a good idea since updates often contain relevant fixes.

Discussing which model is the issue—3090 or PSU compatibility, or a memory problem? For the blue screens, check the explanation provided; it often narrows down the cause, though frequent reboots might suggest power spikes from the RTX 3090.

Yes, I've already upgraded the BIOS to the latest version for my motherboard. Problems continued after the update.

It seems like you're dealing with some tricky issues here. I'm not sure if you need to increase the wattage or switch to a more efficient power supply unit. Right now, I also lack another PSU to test and the funds to acquire one. You're not usually aware of why blue screens appear so unpredictably.

Visit C:\Windows\Minidump to see if any minidump files exist. If present, return to the Windows directory and transfer the entire Minidump folder to your Downloads folder (use the desktop if needed). Compress the copied folder and include it in a post. Please adhere strictly to instructions since Windows doesn't allow file manipulation there.
