I built a PC this year, and for a while it worked very well. It runs everything fine. About a month later, it crashed for the first time. It continued to crash every now and then until it got to the point where now it won't boot up properly; it restarts in the middle of the splash screen and I can't get it to boot from a USB to due a fresh install anymore.
I think it might be a hardware issue because during the first week this started happening I was actually able to get the computer to do a fresh install; the problem came back.
This is my setup:
Motherboard: Gigabyte 970a-UD3P (Rev. 2.0)
PCU: AMD FX-8320
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 960
RAM: 2x4GB (DDR3)
I have a 250GB SSD and 1TB hard-drive for storage.
I've searched for similar problems, but I can't figure out what's wrong with my computer. There are several different bluescreens that i've seen, and the most common one is "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" .
I've tried looking for drivers to update when the computer actually boots, but it seems like everything's up to date. I've run a memory diagnostic that found nothing (some of the errors seemed to be related to memory). I feel like i've exhausted my resources at this point and I really hope one of you guys can help me.
==Update==
So almost immediately after I posted this, I went to see if the computer would boot. Now it won't turn on. The fans will spin for a fraction of a second and the LED's will turn on, but they only blink on before the entire thing shuts off.
