PC crash after each fresh install - changed several components, same issue occurs!

[talfryn.provisevans]

OK, so I've been having on-going issues with my computer. It started off with the OS kinda stuttering to a halt, then not being able to load up again (repeatedly trying to boot up to no avail), until the OS just didn't register any more.

I re-installed windows 10 on a freshly formatted SSD, same thing happened after a few hours, stuttered to a halt and OS didn't register on restart.

Purchased a new SSD, tried the same, same thing happened.

Thought it might be something to do with the PSU, so I upgraded that to a evga 750 g3, same thing happened.

My graphics card is newish (gtx 1070 MSI installed last September), so I don't think that's gone.

The weird thing now is, the windows 10 install won't recognise the SSD's which have gone through the process of install/stuttering to a halt - it's very confusing.

I'm wondering what the next step is here, is it changing the CPU? Or is it the mobo that's messed up? I'm real confused, these things kinda just started happening out of the blue.

Below are my original specs, the only things that have been upgraded are the SSD, PSU and GPU (described above)

Drop down to one RAM stick in required slot, run conservative/default SPD RAM timings until some stability is established...

Did you install the OS in UEFI mode? (Use AHCI)

Hi there, I took out one RAM stick, but it now gives me 1 long beep + 2 short beeps and doesn't get to bios, tried putting the other RAM stick back in, and it still gives the beeps (the beeps are new).

I'm not sure, I just plugged a USB stick in and booted from that to install - how do you change to AHCI if the way i did it was UEFI?

Cheers

EDIT: ignore what i said about beeping, just didnt put ram in properly

i would try the other ram stick by its self and reset the bios. after that change sata cables an then sata ports.
