my pc has gotten alot of bsods since i "upgraded" it and ive made other threads on it and it seemed like it was fixed specially after i updated to Windows 10 version 2004. i havent gotten a bsod for about 2 weeks or more and i recently got about 3 and all my bsods are caused by driver ntoskrnl.exe and i couldt find anything useful online.

I've also gotten a bunch of irql not less or equal but that hasnt happened yet. any help would be great. if its a hardware problem if someone can tell me what part is the issue because im currently upgrading my psu and maybe my ssd . i dont know what to do whenever i think i fixed it it eventually comes back

The bsods are so random it didt happen for like 2 -3 weeks then started happening like 2 days ago then stopped for a day so idk anymore. thanks in advance

ryzen 7 2700x (upgraded from intel i5 2500k)
gtx 1060 6gb
b350m artic
crucial bx500
the 3 i got today was
INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
im guessing its a driver issue since the 982 bsods i got all say it could be a driver issue but idk which driver it is

Did you reinstall windows after upgrading ?

Which power supply are you using?

run userbenchmark.com and post the http link of your result, e.g. https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/28977730
cx500. its old and had a broken fan or something so im getting a new one as people said its bad for gaming pcs.

no i havent but im planning to but i wanne get a nvme ssd to install windows on but i lost the standoff. so no i didt but planning to. would that be the cause? all of the parts are pretty old (there used to be my step-brothers) other then the ssd
 
with a broken fan in a PSU the voltages could be not safe and could damage hardware connected to it or the PSU just smokes away.

you won´t feel a real performance gain if switching from a SATA SSD to a nvme SSD in gaming.

reinstalling windows would be the best thing to do after getting a new power supply (a good one)

you can try updating the amd.com chipset driver for your B350 board and then update the BIOS to the latest version

idk how but i fixed the fan (this was like 2 or 3 weeks ago or more). ik but my ssd gets really slow sometimes but i lost the standoff for my m.2 so idk. inst it really risky to update the bios? if it turns off or somthing? because when i was updating to windows 2004 my pc crashed halfway and it had to redownload the update. i wanne reinstall windows on a new ssd so im able to still use my old files. the main issue is idk if its a hardware or software issue. are you able to check the dump files? is it safe to leave a nvme ssd in a slot without the standoff?

as long as the SSD is connected well, it´s fine, but if it´s disconnecting while writing to the SSD, there might be data loss and corrupting the file system so the SSD might not be able to read data.
Theoretically PCIe/nvme/M.2 is hot plug ability, so while the system is on you can remove the SSD, as long as the SSD is not busy then. Wouldn´t harm it.
You should get a new stand off from ebay or similar

After you get a new power supply, you can update the BIOS. If it turns off while updating the BIOS, the BIOS might get corrupted and the motherboard wouldn´t be able to post/boot anymore. The BIOS chip would have to be replaced after such a coincidence. (soldering involved)

idk where to buy a new stand off as i cant find any. so if the update fails i would need a new mobo? and does my current bios thing support boot from nvme? click bios 5 also some of the bsods take a few seconds to restart and sometimes i only see the blue screen for 1 second and doesnt create a minidump idk if that has anything that helps
