Hi, a few weeks after completing my PC, its BSODs kept happening. Before that moment, the PC ran perfectly fine. I wiped the SSD and tried to install Windows 10 fresh, but it would crash without an error message before completing the installation. I have replaced the motherboard and SSD, but the same issue persists. I have run memtest86, and it returned no errors. What are some possible causes of this

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

You can try and install the OS while the discrete GPU is out of your build. You could also try and make sure that all connections from the PSU to your components are secure. What cooler are you using to cool that unlocked processor?

Might want to borrow a PSU from a friend or neighbor, who owns a reliably built unit and see if the issue persists.

Also, bad RAM can cause install problems. I would recommend a 4 -6 hour run onf MEMTEST to ensure your hardware is stable.
