So 2 weeks ago I received my new pc, here are the specs:
CPU: Ryzen 7 3800X
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1660 OC
M.2 SSD: Samsung 970 Evo Plus
PSU: Corsair TX850M
Motherboard: MSI B550 Gaming Plus
RAM: DDR4 16GB G.Skill 3000c16s-16gisb Single Module
Total of 3 case fans
The first day I installed my PC everything went as intended, I used Windows 10 Home, installed every driver for OS, Motherboard and GPU. I downloaded a couple of games and did a lot of gpu and cpu stress tests, temperatures were better than fine. I also lightly overclocked my GPU and enabled XMP Profile 1 for my RAM. For 5 days nothing unsual happened, but then I get a random restart out of nowhere while watching a video. I didn't think anything of it, but then it happened again, not more than 20 minutes after each restart. After a few restarts, I got my first BSOD. I couldn't get my Windows to boot, my PC started doing automatic repair but ofc nothing came out of it. I tried going back a few days with Windows Recovery settings, typing a few known commands in cmd, trying to go to Safe Mode and resetting my BIOS. Nothing worked.
I then managed to reinstall Windows 10, PC worked for aprox. 40 minutes, but while I left it idle for a while to download OS updates I got a BSOD once again. (The BSOD codes were completely random, I counted at least 4 different ones)
Desperate, I removed every hardware from my PC, did a clean rebuild, resetted CMOS, all that while keeping an eye for damaged parts. I didn't find anything bad and this time I tried installing Windows 11, PC booted fine again but I got BSOD after being idle doing some updates (30-40 minutes in again) and now it's stuck again in an infinite restart loop trying to do a Recovery. I am also able to access BIOS all of the time but not access desktop and I noticed that a LED from my motherboard stayed lit while trying to boot, It's from MSI EZ Debug and it's the CPU one or VGA.
I also found out after ordering my parts that a single channel ram is bad, especially for AMD CPUs, I'm planning on getting another one of the same RAM anyway.
I found from many users that BSOD usually happens because of weak PSUs, but mine is brand new and a pretty strong one.
I don't know if flashing my BIOS will help and I'm not sure it's worth the try.
I am mostly troubled by the fact that my PC worked perfectly fine for 5 days of use, but everything started to go bad after that. Is the problem my CPU as the LED is indicating or is it something else?
Also on the MSI website, it says my board is Dual Channel, does this mean that 1 module isn't compatible?
I have reached an impasse, I don't know what is causing the problems, I'm looking forward to trying your suggestions.
