Please take the time to read this, it took me a really long time to get this PC...and I hope it's not going to be ruined.

Okay so.. I've recently installed some new component on my PC. These are: CPU, GPU, PSU, Motherboard, SSD.

My power supply was faulty, so I had not touched my PC for a week. I finally got a new one after RMA, and installed it.

Now.. The PC seems to be running fine when I play saints row, watch YouTube videos etc. But whenever I open up Dead rising 3, it loads for a while, then the audio just does a loud buzz and my PC gets a blue screen with a sad face, saying:
"Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We're just collecting some error info then we'll restart you.
system service exception win32kbase.sys" it doesn't restart, it got stuck at 100% for 30 mins, I had to press the button on the case.

Also, earlier today it mentioned another problem about not having enough memory, but I was looking at task manager literally seconds before and remember seeing 3/8gb ram being used. It hasn't mentioned the memory problem since.. Just the blue screen that comes now.

My PC was fine before I had to RMA my PSU, and I was grinding out Dead rising..Is this because I knocked something when sorting out the cables? I was wearing one of those anti static bands.

PC specs:
Case: Source 530 full tower
GPU: R9 390 Sapphire Nitro
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1600mhz ( ram that came with original PC, unsure of make)
CPU: i5 4690K Not overclocked. Stock cooler
Motherboard: Z97 PC MATE
Storage: Samsung EVO 256GB SSD / Western digital HDD 1TB
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 650W 80+ Gold

How do I fix this?
Is my PC screwed?

Any help is greatly appreciated..

EDIT: I'm on Windows 10
 
Ok, first off I think you can relax a bit. Your PC is not screwed - at least not to the point of being unrecoverable.

You've updated so many components, did you reinstall your OS? Or did you simply close the OS install to the SSD?

I agree with BadActor than you may have a driver conflict, or your ram may have an error.

First of all though (assuming you clean installed the OS), I would reset your CMOS / load optimized BIOS defaults.
 
I Cloned Windows from the HDD. I guess that could be pet of the problem. But it's never appeared before today after I installed PSU.

I will try and reinstall the driver
Edit: I ran optimised default settings
 
Yeah, it's odd that it wouldn't present the issue immediately, but I'm fairly confident your prior OS install is likely the route of the problem.

Cloning the HDD is fine when it's the only component changing, but......wait.

Just realized you also replaced the motherboard.....you NEED a clean install - way too many conflicts between old & new.

Do you have an OEM version of Windows? If that's the case you will also need a new license as OEM versions are tied to the motherboard (or you could ask MS very nicely - it's hit or miss whether they let you transfer).
 


Did memory test.. No problems, uninstalled and reinstalled display drivers, booted with optimised defaults. Tried to load dead rising 3, now it's just a black screen
