For the past few months I have been running into BSOD issues on my PC and they are now becoming much more frequent. It got so bad that I couldn't even watch youtube on one screen while browsing the web on the other.
The worst culprit is when playing counter strike 2, it takes a few minutes and then just freezes.
So naturally I did a full reformat. After the reformat I got a tool to update all my drivers. This looked like it fixed the issue for a few weeks but unfortunately it is happening again. Oddly enough I can play Battlefield 1 without much issues though lol. Anyways, I'm thinking it must be a hardware issue so I thought I'd come here to ask what is the best way to go about diagnosing it?
Do I pull out/replace hardware one by one and run the computer for a few days each time to work out the culprit? Is there some other diagnostic tool people know of that can isolate the issue faster? A summary of the issues I've found is below:
Pre-reformat:
* Constant BSOD
* CS:GO and CS 2 would freeze the computer and I would have to restart the PC
* Would get BSOD when doing something as mundane as browsing youtube
Post-reformat:
* BSOD less frequent but ramping up again
* Still getting it when browsing youtube
* CS 2 freezes but this time I can at least bring up task manager to kill it without having to restart the comp
* Have had a few instances where I turn on the computer and nothing is displayed on the monitors (1 x hdmi and 1 x display port). I see a " No signal display port" message on the screen when trying to turn the PC on. This somehow fixes itself after a day
