Steam Games Crashing

[sea_biscuits]

I recently switched out some of my components from my power spec g221 prebuilt. I went to a Ryzen 3700x with a gigabyte x570 gaming x mobo, a new evga 650w psu, corsair vengeance Ram 16gb(2x8) 3200mhz, and I kept my gtx 1060 6gb for now. But since switching all my steam games crash within 15 minutes of game time. There is no error code or message of what went wrong. I uninstalled steam and all its files and reinstalled a few of the games to test them and the same problem occurred. Any other games on any other browser don't crash and all my cpu/gpu temps look normal 55c and 70c respectively under load. any ideas?

Did you reinstall windows after the motherboard installation?

As Slottr said you should always reinstall windows after making hardware changes because windows only really installs new drivers when it is installed it usually breaks if you just switch hardware.

I tried resetting windows through the recovery option in the settings and it kept saying could not reset computer and nothing I've found online would work for me. Is there another way to reinstall Windows without a USB stick

I just don't want to go out and buy one if I don't have to lol but if not I'll just suck it up and get it I guess

It would be worth it to spend 5$ on an 8gb USB for this, yes
