Hi, I built a computer for my nephew for Christmas. Everything was fine with it until about 2 weeks ago. He started getting BSOD when playing any of his games. These games were not even too graphic heavy(swtor and league of legends). After it BSOD it will randomly freeze or BSOD again soon after even if we are just sitting on the desktop screen. It will stop if we leave the PC turned off for a little while. I thought it might have been a heat issue and I downloaded some software to check that and it never went out of the ordinary before it crashed. Then I thought it could be driver issues so I updated them and it would still BSOD. Then I reinstalled windows 10 and updated the drivers as soon as it started up and it would still happen. Now I've been trying to install a different windows 10 iso and the computer is starting to freeze before I can even change the boot order to boot from the usb. Also sometimes the keyboard, mouse and monitor wont even get power when the computer is turned on. (keyboard and mouse have lights on them and they dont light up when plugged in) I left the computer off for an hour and that problem went away. I have also never been able to get the monitor to work if I plug it into the motherboard hdmi slot, it only works in the GPU hdmi slot. Im starting to think that maybe the motherboard is bad? I am not too experienced with this so I would appreciate some insight from others and their opinion on what could be wrong. Or suggestions that I can do. Thank you guys for your time!
