Computer Issue when installing anything

[SkyguyXD]

Hi all,

I'm having issues with a budget build and was hoping one of you could help.

 

I'm using a Dell Optiplex 9010 as my base.

Here are the specs Im using:

Intel I7 3770

16gb (4x4gb) of 1600mhz Nanya ddr3 ram

stock dell motherboard

MSI Gaming V1 RX 580 8gb GPU

Corsair vs650 PSU

 

The problem:

The computer was bought used with a 250gb WD Blue HDD. Whenever I tried installing any driver my pc would black screen and freeze. I then would restart my computer to a windows attempting repair screen and I'd have to restore a previous version to get it to run again. The strange thing was that it was random. Sometimes it would let me install my gpu drivers and sometimes it would not. Sometimes I could install my USB wifi adapter driver and other times I could not. At one point I managed to get as far as to download Overwatch and play a match only for it to crash again and break over a Intel HD 4000 driver. It was because of the randomness I thought my HDD was to blame so I replaced it with a new Crucial BX500 ssd and install a clean copy of windows on to it. I was hoping that a fresh windows install on a brand new ssd would solve my problem but it crashed once again when installing my RX 580 driver. My next guess is to blame the motherboard but I am not sure. Please help

Does this same sequence occur if you remove all but 1 stick of the RAM?
