I am praying someone can help me but this will be a long post forgive me, about a year ago my parents gave me an Alienware aroura r9 with an i5 9400 and a 2060 running windows 10, as of recent it wasn't playing games the way that I wanted them to so I purchased a new case, new MOBO (b550 gaming plus), new CPU ( Ryzen 5 5600x) and new power supply.
I wanted to keep the GPU because I can't afford a new one, to my demise, it seems I did not know what I was doing and now I can not figure out what is going on. I removed all the components from the r9 and assembled the new pc using pretty much only the GPU and RAM from the r9. It booted up first try with no issues and didn't seem to have any issues after running cinnabench and heaven benchmarks and passing both I opened up battlefield 2042 to give it a go. It ran great for about 10 minutes and then it crashed, but this is where it gets weird, it didn't blue screen and it didn't crash to the desktop it just kind of froze and I lost all ability to use my mouse and keyboard.
I also lost internet, but the game was still animated in the background, it just kicked me out to the main menu giving a notice that I was not connected to the internet, I powered down the pc and rebooted it, at witch point the MOBO gave me a CPU light. Fearful I had messed up the thermal paste, I took the pc apart and cleaned and reapplied thermal paste, booted up and loaded the game with hw monitor on, on my second screen to watch temps;
After about 15 minutes it crashed again but with hw monitor up the temps looked ok, 75c for CPU 70c GPU. I again rebooted the computer and tried to update drivers to no avail, at this point I tested EVERY component on its own in my roommate's pc, and CPU, GPU, PSU, RAM all worked perfectly in his pc. I assumed at this point it was software/driver related to I did a recover wiping all personal files and started over, after redownloading everything it still did the same thing. At this point I downloaded driver easy and updated all drivers with no fix. Its been about 2 weeks of this and I cannot find a fix, please help.
