I recently had the opportunity to update my PC (CPU and Motherboard). There were a number of headaches along the way including a faulty mother board which I was able to RMA. Now, my PC boots into Windows and may be fine for a couple of minutes but then crashes (black screen, fans are still running) or restarts. Sometimes it doesn't even finish booting windows or may be fine for a while but pretty much crashes every time I log in. This also occurs during Safe Mode. The only time it doesn't crash is while in UEFI settings.
The temps and voltages seem to be fine (40-60 C, ~1.3V). I have basically replaced the CPU and Motherboards twice...so I'm pretty sure they are fine. RAM appears to be fine as well (Checked with MemTest86 [passed, no errors] and they worked fine in the previous build). What else might be causing this?
My next strategy is to try a new PSU (the original is about 5 years old). I was also thinking how I have my Windows OS from my previous build on my m.2 SSD. I assume that this shouldn't be a problem but since I changed the mobo and the cpu, maybe there are instability issues on this front (and I need to do a clean install)?
Any other recommendations would be really helpful! Please find my specs below.
System:
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X
CPU Cooler: Stock, Wraith Stealth Cooler
Mobo: MSI b550m pro-vdh wifi
GPU: Zotac GeForce 1060 6 GB
PSU: Corsair CX-M 550 W
OS: Windows 10 Pro
