    Question New PC build crashing occasionally while gaming. How do i figure out what's wrong and how to fix?

    I completely removed MSI SDK and MSI Center from my computer and the entries are all gone now. I'm assuming i don't have to reinstall MSI Center or those drivers, and since they may have caused BSOD i don't want to either haha. Hopefully no more crashes now....

    Question New PC build crashing occasionally while gaming. How do i figure out what's wrong and how to fix?

    Built this PC a while ago and have had no issues until two weeks ago when it randomly bluescreened and crashed when i was gaming. After that i updated my video drivers with a clean install. It was fine for a while so i assumed that was the problem, but then it happened again today. I haven't had...
