    Question Blue screen error from motherboard, processor, or both?

    Thanks for the assistance, I went ahead and tried out your recommendation and it seems it was the CPU causing the error as I'm using the new motherboard and old CPU just fine and the issue persisted when I tried it the other way.

    Question Monitor keeps randomly going black while still on

    I tried on all 60, 59.940, and 50 as well as interlaced and to no avail as well. The monitor in question as well is BenQ GW2480, though its been working fine for a few years and I tried a similar monitor from a friend and still had the issue.
