I require help with game crashes.

My computer was working fine for a good while. I recently upgraded my CPU and GPU. But today something odd happened. I was playing a game on Steam when it suddenly crashed for no apparent reason. I thought little of it. But it turns out this was either a sign of the problem to come or the cause of it. Because no matter what I tried after this, games on Steam will not run correctly. Baldur's Gate 3, for example, doesn't work at all on Vulkan, and on DX11, it works for a second and crashes with an error about an unrecoverable DX11 error. I tried repairing Windows files, validating game files on Steam, and reinstalling my graphics drivers, among other things, but to no avail. One of the games that does, however, somewhat work is Borderlands 3, but when I play it, many graphical oddities happen, such as giant black boxes appearing on the screens and random blotches of color. These seem to be graphics problems within my system. I don't believe any of my physical parts are causing these errors.

Since you indicate you recently changed hardware, try changing hardware back to what was working before. If games don't crash with the old hardware, this points to either the new CPU or GPU (or both) as the problem, at which point I'd want a refund / replacement for whatever piece of hardware is defective.

I can try replacing my hardware. I've pretty much tried everything in terms of software. It will be a real pain if it's my hardware that's causing the issue, because I'll have to ship it back most likely and wait more time. I appreciate the help, before trying to replace my hardware back to its previous state I want to note that it was working perfectly fine until today, I didn't see any overheating or other issues.
