A few months ago my PC started to BSOD and crash when playing video games. I'll list original specs, testing specs, and current specs at the bottom. I ran benchmark, such as cinebench and heavenly, and stress tests such as aida64 and memtest but they all came out good. My computer kept getting BSOD so I took a shot in the dark that my CPU was the problem since I dropped it and bent the pins when I first installed it. All the pins are straight now. This is also the last time I got a BSOD, from here It crashes to a black screen and no power to keyboard or mouse.
I attached pictures of the error code. One points to Nvidia drivers. I did a complete wipe and reinstall of all Nvidia drivers but the code continued to show.
I put a Ryzen 1700x into the original setup but it would crash before even getting into windows so I brought in another motherboard to try that out, bringing us to the testing specs. I used the new motherboard and 1700x with the rests of my original parts on a test bench for a week with no issues, so I updated the BIOS and inserted the Ryzen 2700x. This continued to work for another week unhindered. I went ahead and purchased a new motherboard that will be compatible with Zen3 in the future and rebuilt with that, bringing us to the current set up.
The new built with the 2700x and x570 board worked for 2 days before it would begin to stutter into a complete crash. I installed the 1700x and this worked for 3 days before the same issue began again.
I'm not sure if it could be related, but about 3 weeks before this started happening my original WD Blue 2tb drive failed and I replaced it.
