it's something that should have been fixed.
2 things I don't like, the first is the gpu and the second is the motherboard
Put the card you said and try to start

Ahh okay, yeah there seems to be something very weird.

But yes I will put in the other gpu and try. I can also try doing the thing you said about reinstalling my windows drive without any other disk in except keyboard and mouse. But first I will try with my brothers gpu.

I will update soon. Thanks

Okey update:

I have tried with the other gpu and it still crashed. I also tried entering safe mode using 3 different methods but none of them work.

This is what I see when I try to enter safe mode:

Scanning and repairing C: drive Complete

Then it just reboots and says Welcome and loads but wont enter in to windows. So I have to shut the pc down and then start it again.

Can It be a virus or something, because whenever I try to download malwarebytes it won’t even open or show, after the installation it just disappears.

What can I do now? Should I reinstall windows on the drive and only keyboard and mouse plugged in? Or what else can I try?

alright that might explain some of the recent problems, but I’ve had these crashes for almost 2 years. Well now it has gotten way worse, and it just crashes every time I boot up and have been on the homescreen for a bit.

Should I now reinstall windows as you said? And Is there also a chance that some of my components is still faulty and crashing the pc? I’ve been thinking maybe the motherboard or cpu? Those are the only things I haven’t tested with another.

Edit: Yes or well it was a refurbished one, but I bought it in store, but someone had probably just returned it and they repackaged it. Because one day my old psu just died and the only psu that was close to me in stock was the Rm850x.

Do an installation with the first disk you have + keyboard + mouse and we'll see what happens

you’ve these crashes for almost 2 years and you did nothing
I can't know what exactly you've been doing these past 2 years.
Go ahead with a fresh install and see what happens.
 
Alright I will do that now, thanks. I’ll update after

I have tried everything I can think of except bought a new motherboard and cpu, everything else I have tried, but nothing has worked. Thats why Im thinking it might be the motherboard but I have no idea. So yeah I understand you can’t know what I have done but im thankful for the help.

But yeah I’ll try new install :)

Hello update:

I tried to reinstall windows on my newest ssd drive but it won’t let me, I cannot delete it, cannot reformat it, nothing. Its like it doesn’t want to get erased.

I tried using drive manager, and cmd with diskpart. But everytime I say Clean, and then try to download the drive has all the files in it again. Its extremely weird.

But I managed to reinstall new windows on my old ssd drive and it’s not crashing anything yet. So maybe the new ssd drive was faulty or corrupted? Or a virus got downloaded into it?

I will try running malwarebytes with the newest ssd plugged in tomorrow if i can succeed in entering safe mode, with it plugged in.

But for the other problem, the one that made it crash before. Do you think that can be faulty hardware?

who is your new ssd?
 
It is a random one from amazon called "Intenso 2.5 SSD HIGH 120GB"
I just bought it to try if it was my old ssd that was crashing the pc, but it wasn't or atleast I don't think so because my pc crashed with the new Intenso ssd also.

This disk doesn't work, friend, find a way to format it (connect it as an external one) and have it for storage.
 
Ohh damn okay, I shouldn't have bought that one then, but yes I think I will return it in that case. Alright thank you very much, I will order one of those today. I will update if anything happens :)
