Hey! I've been getting blue screens with different errors most of the times, random crashing, crashing while opening games, and freezing to where you have to hard reset. Event logger just shows unexpected shutdown and I've reinstalled my drivers many times for almost everything. I have nothing overclocked currently. In games that do not crash my pc, I have many frame drops (This is new). I have been having these issues for about three years and throughout those years I have changed my setup. I have reinstalled Windows many times and have even tried Windows 7, but this causes even more bugs. My current setup is a Ryzen 5 1600, Gigabyte aorus x470 gaming, Sapphire Nitro+ RX 570, G.Skill DDR4 2400mhz 2x8gb, and a WD Black 250gb M.2 NVMe drive for Windows. I first built this system in late 2018 with a ASUS GTX 1050 ti instead of the rx 570. Every game worked on this but you would still get the occasional random crash and freeze. Back in 2016 when I first built my first computer, I had a AMD Fx 6300, Asrock 970A-G/3.1, with an EVGA GTX 750 ti, and a samsung 850 evo 250gb. That parciular setup had Windows 10 installed and  Windows 7 and you would still get blue screens from time to time, and random crashing from time to time. I'm pretty sure something is wrong with my RX 570, because most games will crash my pc, so I will switch to the EVGA 750 ti I had laying around and use that for some games. This is not good at all, as I need a stable machine to work on, for recordings, video and photo editing, and programming. Having an unstable machine for these kinds of task sucks. I am even moving some of my less video recourse demanding things (like photo editing and programming) to my server which has a Windows 10 vm on it, which I can RDP to. The only things I have not changed in my setup over the last three years is my case.

have you been checking the machine temps?

can also try poping out one stick of ram and running with 8gb and let us know if it has any effect

System temps have always been fine. Went from old AMD FX stock cooler to Corsair h60 and then back to Ryzen Wraith Stealth cooler. Running with 8gb also caused crashing and after some time it also crashed. (I have also used 2 different brands of memory sticks on my old machine and one seemed to work better for a little bit and then the crashing continued). Usually you would put in a new component in one of the systems I've built, it would be fine for about a month, and then afterwords the crashing and freezing would come in. My system is pretty clean as I clean it every month, so I doubt that would be an issue.

im not seeing it mentioned what power supply is in use.

Also did you try the 750 to see if it stabilized the machine?

Using Corsair CX 750. Im currently testing the 750 ti and I will definetley put load on it for a longer time than I have currently (30 minutes), but the games that were crashing the machine, works fine now. I will update if anything happens while testing (crash/freeze/blue screen).
