Good afternoon all,

For a while now, my PC has been giving me BSOD or my games (Valorant/Overwatch 2/CS2) keep crashing unexpectedly. My GFX card and Windows 10 is updated, and I run everything on low settings. It's very frustrating, especially since I restored Windows 10 and wiped my drives clean to try and resolve the issue with no avail. Please if anyone has any ideas why this is happening or how to fix, I would greatly appreciate it.

Windows 10 Home
NVIDIA GTX 1660 Super

include:

motherboard manufacturer + current BIOS,
RAM make & model (also include if a single 16GB module, 2x 8GB modules, etc),
PSU make & model + it's overall age,
storage devices make & model + game drive's percentage full,
CPU cooler,
case make & model + overall fan setup,
Windows 10 OS build,
temperatures for CPU & GPU while idle and while being stressed(gaming, etc).

I restored Windows 10 and wiped my drives clean
performing a Windows Restore function does not wipe the drive and reinstall fresh,
just "restores" it back to a previous date.

you can attempt repair functions with DISM and SFC,
but in these instances it is sometimes better to just perform a fresh install using the MS Media Creation Tool and installing the latest version available directly from MS.
