Question Would random BSODs/Crashing Every Once in a While More Likely Be PSU or Mobo Related?

[Twinkies49]

So, the reason I am skeptical about the PSU and Mobo is because I recently upgraded my PC with a new CPU, GPU and SSD - here is a comprehensive list of all my specs from CPU-ZL: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X @ 4441 MHz - CPU-Z VALIDATOR (x86.fr)

If my PSU is not properly listed there, it is an EVGA 600W 80 Gold Plus

The random BSOD/computer completely freezing only happens in Modern Warfare 2 - probably once a week or every 2 weeks, it is quite rare. The error I get seems different every time, but it is a BSOD error, as an example here are the last ones I see in reliability history:

As you can see, each bucket ID is different, yet most if not all of these occurred while playing MW2, usually during a lobby screen. I also get some other weird issues in a game called Hunt: Showdown, like random FPS drops that come and go, but that might just be the game's engine being poorly optimized.

It's upsetting that I spent all this money just to have BSOD issues, still. If I replace the PSU, who knows if that was ever the issue. Replacing the mobo is a nightmare in itself. I wish there were a way to tell...

I'd put your RAM back to stock timings and test, might be unstable with those timings. Or your CPU mem controller might not be stable with that OC. Maybe even ram temps.

I would bet it would be those two issues before defective hardware.

I've had a few instances of crashing in games and it turned out the CPU mem controller was the issue. When I upgraded CPU's with everything else the same the issue went away.

I'm 100% stable in MW2 with a slight OC on my 5700x. -20 offset in the curve, -15 on the two main cores and ,+100mhz. Ram is stock XMP B-die with a slightly tuned trfc.

Honestly, I doubt it is either.

Start by stress testing your pc, namely memory, booting without windows. If it passes stress test, then the problem probably lies elsewhere.
