My Pc blue screened while playing Warzone, this happened 3 weeks ago and i cant figure out the problem. I don't believe this is software related. This pc has been operational for a few weeks. My products are all under warranty still. I only have about 100 dollars to work with, which means I cant afford to go and get it fixed. I know a tech savvy friend and he has helped me take steps toward fixing the problem but even he doesn't know what is happening to my computer.
What I know:
There is a problem... I've looked over so many articles, videos, websites, and posts. What I've seen so far is that the problem could range from a component not being plugged in, to my processor is dead, to corrupted files, to a bad psu, bad mobo, bad ram, etc.
What has not worked:
Replacing my Ram, deleting all my files, system restore, reinstalling windows, Bios update, re-plugging everything in, using one stick of ram in all 4 slots, switching out my ssd, running windows memory diagnostics (didn't work).
What I can't do: My Pc is in a crash loop, as soon as it starts.. it freezes or Bsod. I cant run another memtest, cant update my drivers, cant do anything software related.
What I can do: I can return the faulty product (they are all still in warranty) I can buy a new part based on the cost.
What I think is the problem. On the Ez-Debug section of my motherboard the DRAM light does NOT turn on in the sequence (CPU>DRAM>VGA>Boot). However when I have no memory installed the DRAM light comes on and stays on suggesting that there is a problem with the RAM. My suspicion is that this is a motherboard problem and not a software problem.
I am here to ask for opinions before I take any more steps, Thank you for your time.
