Computer freezing, crashing, restarting with onboard

[andreww416]

When I try to play a game, my PC will crash and restart on the Windows Onboard graphics with purple lines, and a code 43 on my GPU drivers. When I restart everything goes back to normal, except I will crash again shortly after launching a game. My motherboard is currently being RMAed, so I am using an older board, CPU and hard drive.
My currently known specs are:
PSU: EVGA G2 Supernova
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 945
GPU: GTX 1080 ti
RAM: 32 GB Ripjaws DDR3
MOBO: FOXCOMM ALOE
Storage: 931 GB Western Digital
OS: Windows 10 Pro

Are you certain that Foxconn motherboard is compatible with Windows 10?

Not at all, I just assumed it was because the family member I borrowed the parts from had windows 10 on it, all I know is that the foxconn aloe I am using is like 10 years old

I think it's very unlikely the motherboard supports Windows 10. If that is the case, Windows 10 will work most of the time, but will not be completely stable.

Ah okay, I will do some research, in the meantime, what would be the best way to downgrade, should I just use the Windows media creation tool?

One other thing I found, I was running 32 GB of ram when the Foxconn HRS880 only supports 16

That should not cause any problem. It would just mean that Windows could only see or use 16GB.

To install Windows 7 check "Control Panel > System" to find your computers 25-character Windows product key (xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx). Or you can just use Windows 7 for the 30 day trial unactivated.

Based on what I've been experiencing, this really seems like an issue with my hard drive. My CPU performed fine in a torture test, and the GPU was just RMAed. The disk usage is constantly hitting 100% from basic windows processes, and I feel like when I crash playing a game, it is due to disk overloading, is there any way to be sure of this, and/or fix it?

Actually, I'm going to try reverting to Windows 7, because I found a thread on microsoft forums of someone experiencing a similar issue, if it works I'll be sure to let you know.

If you want to test your hard drive try installing a free program called Hard Disk Sentinel. It will tell you if your HDD is failing or has any bad sectors.

Alright I'll be sure to give it a try

Just downgraded the GPU to the original and everything is working now. I am pretty sure there was an incompatibility with my nvidia drivers and something else in this PC. I appreciate your help.
