Hey so I bought a cheap pre built PC & have decided to upgrade it throughout the time, PC was running fine no problems apart from poor airflow so I decided to upgrade the case for more airflow and more importantly appeal. I done the swap over, put everything in the new case, swap was successful PC ran, posted etc. But now every time the PC is under load it blue screens, very frustrating. I tried everything, I ran stress tests, SFC /scannow, reinstalled drivers etc. It just wouldn't hold load without blue screening, I even do little things like taking out Ram, GPU etc. Nothing worked.. Temperatures were fine for the most part and PC could kind of hold load but not for a long period of time. Put it into more detail I would play one game of Rainbow 6 siege & it would be fine but as soon as I get into the next game it blue screens, it was constant as well. I got really frustrated with it, me and a mate are praying it's a PSU problem because it's the other thing that makes sense for us amateurs. But I got curious & I thought maybe that the new case was some how pulling to much Wattage that my PSU couldn't handle? since it is double the fans & LED's if that makes any difference. So I decided to swap everything back in to my old case and what do you know runs perfectly fine.. I'm praying that it is a PSU and seriously nothing wrong with my case other wise it's a waste of $100 NZD and a sick looking case. But for reference -

Old case: Corsair Carbide Series Air 540
New Case: MSI MAG FORGE 120A Airflow
Motherboard: Gigabyte B550M Matx
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X
RAM: 16 GB DDR4 Kingston Furies (4x4)
GPU: Radeon Sapphire Pulse RX 7600
Storage: 1TB Samsung 980 PRO SSD
1TB HDD (Dont know the actual specs of the HDD)
500GB HDD
250GB Sata SSD
PSU: 550W Segotep 80+ Bronze Power Supply

Any proper diagnostic's of this would be super helpful for the unwise like myself.
 
Can you follow option one on the following link - here - and then do this step below: Small memory dumps - Have Windows Create a Small Memory Dump (Minidump) on BSOD - that creates a file in c windows/minidump after the next BSOD

  1. Open Windows File Explore
  2. Navigate to C:\Windows\Minidump
  3. Copy the mini-dump files out onto your Desktop
  4. Do not use Winzip, use the built in facility in Windows
  5. Select those files on your Desktop, right click them and choose 'Send to' - Compressed (zipped) folder
  6. Upload the zip file to the Cloud (OneDrive, DropBox . . . etc.)
  7. Then post a link here to the zip file, so we can take a look for you . . .

PSU: 550W Segotep 80+ Bronze Power Supply
I would suggest a different brand PSU anyway. I guess 6 case fans could be cause. But its not a great PSU to start with. I would get a 650watt as its what the Corsair PSU calculator shows for combo of CPU & GPU & Case. Something like a RM650 would do.
It gives you wiggle room so PC doesn't crash in games.

There's these files I found in there at the moment, if there's nothing you can find in here then I will swap my PC parts over again to the other case and see if it BSOD & then I'll send the fresh set of files.
