[SOLVED] Changing to new hardware causing crashes when gaming ?

[DRWHO305]

So I recently switched from intel to amd5 & got a msi b650 tomahawk wifi with a ryzen 7 7800x3d, 32gb ram 6000, but my pc keeps freezing to the point that nothing works, not even if I try using task manager to close programs still is frozen. While gaming, it crashes in 1-2 min.

Did you transfer the old storage drive to the new computer or is the new computer using a brand new storage drive?

And you properly reinstalled Windows?

No I didn’t reinstall windows I just took nvme ssd from one pc & installed it on the new one. Also w10 it’s saying my key is being used by another device and can’t be activated again. I try troubleshooting but ask me to plug ubs key but I only have the key by itself. Also in bios for some reason if I change it to uefi the drivers disappear from boot list, only if I leave it on csm they show up.

Windows is not intended to be modular in this way. Modern Windows *tries* to make up for it when people cut corners, but it frequently fails, whether miserably or with small, annoying problems for months or years.

Wipe the OS drive and properly do a full, fresh install of Windows and *then* worry about remaining problems, including if crashing continues and the license issue. The license issue is a whole other thing, but I have no idea of the provenance of your current Windows license.

Ok ty I will try that. I got my w10 not to long ago from this website/ https://softwarecodespro.com/

When it comes to downloading amd cpu drivers & all that should I be using the msi center or installed that manually?

Here, you've encountered problems with both aspects of a Windows install. Licensing AND Operation.

Operation : Moving a drive like this has 33 possible outcomes:
1. It works just fine
2. It fails completely
3. It "works", but you're chasing issues for weeks/months.

You are firmly in #3.

Full wipe and reinstall.

Licensing/activation:
Upon seeing this new hardware, it WILL unactivate itself. MS has procedures to transfer a valid license. But the one you have from that site....all bets are off as to actual validity.
