Recently I have been getting bsod in windows 10 after upgrading my hardware and I really need help I play mafia 3 for a while then it starts lagging and than I get a bsod my specs are:

AMD FX 8350
Nvidia geforce gtx 1050 Ti
8Gb DDR3 (not sure what brand)
asus 970 gaming aura pro
500w psu (not sure what brand)

If you've changed the motherboard, have you done a fresh install yet?

If you've changed the CPU (and only the CPU), well that shouldn't really cause any issues.

If you've changed the graphics card(s), have you fresh installed drivers using DDU?

If you've changed memory (and only memory), have you tried rebuilding the pagefile?

i upgraded 21st of february so not long ago and i upgraded motherboard, cpu and graphics card
 


You should always do a fresh install when you change the motherboard, or else Windows becomes confused as all heck when it tries to use its logic (based on the old board) to run the new board.

Back your stuff up, then fresh install. No need to get rid of it when there's Google Drive.

thank you i will try and back my stuff up and i will let you know once i have tried this it might take me a few days or weeks though as i have alot of stuff on my hard drive thanks
 


Download 7-Zip and compress your files into Zip folders before uploading. This will reduce the size of the data that needs to be uploaded. When you put it on your new install, just unzip it and it'll be restored to its original size and functionality.
