So I got my pc off a dude on OfferUp about two week or so ago. Its been working fine up until a couple of days in when I installed my 2tb hard drive. Basically I had to remove the gpu to get to the sata port on my mobo. Gigabyte A320M. I feared that it was this moment when the graphics card potentially got damaged.

 

Ever since, while gaming, the games would crash with either a blue screen or just the game would crash. One day I played Overwatch windowed and had task manager open just in case it was just my GPU overheating (GTX 1060).

When Overwatch eventually crashed, i got an error that said the gpu drivers crashed. As of a few days ago, I DDU'd the drivers and didn't install them. Got blue screened. Error message IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

 

I bought a new graphics card thinking that was the culprit. When I hooked up my 1660 Super everything seemed fine. Then Overwatched crashed. So apparently it wasn't the GPU.

What do you guys think? Could it possibly be the hard drive?
