Windows 10 Crashing

Hey guys, not sure if this is where I should post this as I'm new here so I figured this would be the safest bet. I built my Pc back in january where i started off with a Ryzen 3 2200g on an Aorus b450 pro wifi, and a WD Blue 1TB HDD. Ever since, even after upgrading parts(Cpu, Gpu, Ram, and switching to boot my OS on a WD Blue 500GB SSD), my pc has constant BSODs and I'm assuming it is the hard drive seeing as I've wiped both drives, reinstalled windows multiple times, and running scans for hardware problems and changing settings to no avail. I did buy it off of Amazon, and it is a refurb so that may very well be the case because I built my GFs brothers Pc, and he has basically the same Pc as I did before upgrading. Bought his hard drive refurbed as well. Just need some confirmation before I blow money on a new 1TB hard drive or SSD.

Disconnect the drive. If everything works, then you have found the issue.

Try another drive if you can and see if the issues persist. I would also see if your motherboard has any bios updates, chipset updates, or driver updates. If you have any overclocks remove them, if you have ram with xmp enabled disable that. I would really just set your bios to default settings just to see if any of that helps before shelling out the money for a new drive

I was never able to update my bios, just tried again through the app center utility for my motherboard, and i updated from F1 to F32. So far it hasn't crashed so I'll see how it goes. Thank you!
