Hello everybody,
About half a year ago I built my first pc. It features the following specs:
Motherboard: MSI Tomahawk B350
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600
Memory: Corsair vengeance LPX 16gb 3000mhz ddr4
GPU: MSI GTX 1080
PSU: Corsair CX 650
Storage: Samsung EVO 850 ssd (250gb)
Storage: Seagate 2TB HDD
Now I did not have any problems with my new build for over 5 months other than some startup problems in the first week. However about 1,5 week ago my first bsod ever occured. I did not worry too much since it was only the first time, and everything went fine after for about a week.
Fast forward a week and my pc has almost become unuseable. Yesterday I encountered another bsod and decided to start investigating the cause. At first glance it looked like a driver problem, because why else would a perfectly fine pc start getting bsod issues? So i checked my drivers and updated them, with the realtek audio driver being very annoying to update correctly. My issues persisted. I did not update every driver though, for example my monitor driver. After all the updating my pc would still bsod when performing a task. (most noticeable while playing PUBG, it would hold out a good 5 minutes before freezing to death. And sometimes the blue screen occures while not performing any task whatsoever.) I had not yet overclocked my cpu, I have however enabled an XMP profile for my ram to put it at 2933 mhz i believe. I have reverted the XMP profile back to its basic frequency. Since my pc is almost exclusively used for gaming I decided to just make a fresh install of windows and then install driver by driver to see if i come across any problems. This was not a fix because i had to repeat the windows installation several times because of bsod's while installing windows. I am beginning to believe I have a hardware problem. Therefore I ran the windows built-in RAM test software which did not find any problems. I have not yet tested the rest of my hardware. Any ideas what my problem could be?
A few crash codes I remember seeing by head:
critical process died
critical structure corruption
