(I know Linux is better than Windows, there’s a better time and place for that talk)
SPECS: OS: Windows 10 Pro N Motherboard: MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X GPU: NVidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti RAM: 4x HyperX Fury DDR4 8GB sticks (two rated for one clock speed, the other two rated for another. As I understand it the faster sticks will just run at the speed of the lower two, and it deffo ain’t causing issues cause I’ve tested games with just one pair or the other. Both gave me crashes)

Simply put, built a custom Windows machine and it gives me BSODs on many more recent games. Deep Rock Galactic, crashes within seconds to minutes of actual gameplay (not including the hub). Remnant: From the Ashes, crashes within minutes on the overworld. Starfield, crashes within minutes to two hours. Blood West, crashes within five minutes of gameplay. Helldivers 2 works fine ingame, but once I quit the game it blue screens within seconds of returning to the desktop.
I’ve reinstalled drivers. I’ve disabled sound drivers. I’ve popped the computer open and reseated everything at least two or three times so far. RAM was tested using MemTest86, no issues at all. CPU temps tend not to exceed anything higher than the 70-75 range ingame (hot, but my processor is rated for up to 90 Celsius). I’ve reapplied thermal paste four times. I’m on my third install of Windows so far, with this being the Pro N version rather than the Pro version I tried the first two installs. I’ve had a bit of a go at googling the highlighted files in the Minidump file, but at this point I’m all but giving up. If the Internet can’t fix this shit, I’ll just sell the components or machine at a loss and stick with an older gaming laptop.
Someone asked about the motherboard and you’ve answered it is brand new, but still, are there any updates for it?
What is the PSU situation, what brand / model? Is it new too? Is any of the components bought used or from old build?
What about storage?
Haven’t yet had a go at updating the mobo, time and energy have both been limited, but I’ll look into this when I can and give a further reply once I have a go at it and get results.
PSU is an EVGA 1000 watt model, the only other part of the build that isn’t brand new. Bought for a build I made in 2019, but hasn’t given me any issues whatsoever. I did forget to mention this in the post’s body, that’s my B.
Storage was bought brand new for this build, a Samsung 2 TB SSD of sorts, exact model name escapes me. I did do some testing earlier today specifically for GPU and SSD temps, and the SSD never hit above 43 C.
