Hi,
Firstly, id like to point out that i bought my ram and motherboard second hand / used. So they have no warranty left whatsoever.

When doing tasks like browsing the web (such as Toms Hardware or watching YouTube videos), I experience no issues. When playing CPU/GPU - heavy games like Universe Sandbox 2, i also have a great enjoyable experience.
However, when playing a memory heavy game like Fortnite Battle Royale and Planet Coaster, I run into problems. The system often just stops, Leaving the keyboard and mouse unresponsive, audio Gone completely, and display frozen on one image.

In case worth noting, I have noticed the hard drive light on my case stops flashing / flickering as it usually does. Also, I am running windows off an SSD.

This problem only occurred recently when i installed my new Mobo and ram upgrades.

My question is this, What part is most likely faulty and then which one should i replace?
Not sure how to go about this one.

Any Help is Deeply Appreciated. Thanks for taking time to read my post.
