Every half an hour or less the computer freezes completely, sometimes with a blue screen and sometimes just freezes in whatever you are doing at the moment and needs a restart. After restart it sometimes happens to not recognize the SSD on which the OS is installed. We managed to fix this with some DISKPART commands in cmd prompt. The crashes were still an issue so we thought it's a hardware problem.
We removed the GPU and let it run on the onboard one, still freezes.
We thought the SSD and HDD were in conflict so we removed the HDD and thried to reinstall windows. The blue screen appeared while reinstalling.
We removed the SSD and tried to reinstall OS on HDD, same thing, the blue screen while reinstalling.
Could the motherboard, RAM or PSU be the issue here?
SPECCY did not found any problem.
