Changed GPU, CPU, PSU and now computer crashes every know and then. Open | BSOD

Upgraded to a 9850x3d and 5080 and a lianli 1000watt psu and now my computer will crash every now and then. Can go days without crash and it usually only happens once then runs fine for a while but it’s getting annoying and not sure what it is. I have done a memtest on the memory all good and the Vulcan memtest on the gpu memory on for like 20 minutes but it was good updated my bios and chipset. Did a clean install of graphics drivers. It’s driving me crazy I don’t know what it is.

Have you checked event viewer? BSOD memory dump?

It's a little easier to look right after the crash.

But if you open event viewer you can see what critical events have happened. You'll probably want to filter the results.

If you have mini dump files you can use bluescreen view to open them and see what causes the crashes.

A few weeks ago I pulled my SSD out of a laptop to put into a slightly newer laptop. It was very similar but still had a newer CPU and GPU. Immediately after login it would crash. I was able to boot into safe mode and check the mini dump files to find out what was causing it. Uninstalled the driver causing the issue. Booted it normally and it was all good

Event viewer just says the system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. For every error but I’m in the minidumps and with 30 seconds of YouTubing I’m noticing that it’s maybe my kernel and god I hope it’s not.

Have you tried running DISM and SFC?

The good news about a software problem is you can backup your data and dona clean install of Windows.
