Hello there,
I'm addressing the following issue on behalf of a friend.
Well, after a year of a steady system, all of the sudden he start getting BSODs. He tried different PSU, Hard Drive, RAM and the problem remained. He sent his MOBO to the place he bought it, they did a BIOS update and they sent it back as they claimed that it worked fine for them as he suspected the MOBO as the source of the BSODs. The BIOS update made the things even worse, he sent the MOBO back, the shop RMA'd to GA who confirmed that there's no issue with the board though they decided to trade his AORUS AX370 Gaming 5 with AORUS X470 Ultra Gaming as he waited on an update for 3 whole months.
Once he got the system ready to run with the new motherboard the blue screens remained. So the only suspect left now it's the CPU. He even tried the RAM kits on an Intel and another AM4 socket and worked fine.
How would he be able to check if his Ryzen 7 1800X suddenly decided to "die"? Is plugging the CPU on a different AM4 mobo enough or should he also try a different Ryzen CPU on his new mobo as well?
Hopefully I can get an answer over this one
Kind regards
