NEW PC HELP

[BBoyDoma]

Hello and thank you for taking the time to help me, I just built a new PC and I'm having so many issues, the system keeps blue screening and I can't run many programs due to missing dll files, I have installed all my drivers and windows updates, I have even tried going from windows 10 to windows 11 and that didn't help either (everything is installed but same problem) if anyone knows how to fix this I would much appreciate it.

What are the full system specs? 

When you say you went from Windows 10 to 11 did you just do the upgrade or did you do a completely fresh install?

Also what are the reasons for the bluescreens? It should say what caused it on the screen that pops up.

I formatted everything, my specs are i7-14700k MSI Carbon WiFi MSI GTX 980 Ti Kingston Fury DDR5 64GB MSI 1000W PSU Crucial T700 2TB gen5 ssd

Ok, if it was formatted and fresh installed that would leave hardware as the culprit. Two things to try, first I would remove your 980Ti and try running the system on the integrated graphics only, see if it still has the same crashes and errors. If it doesn't that old 980Ti is having some sort of issue.

 

If it still has issues even on the iGPU I'd run Windows Memory Diagnostics or Memtest86 as bad or incompatible ram can cause these types of issues as well.

I don't know how this mem test works and it's probably the RAM since the GPU functioned fine a month ago

In Windows, type Windows Memory Diagnostic in the search bar on the taskbar or in your start menu. It's a built in feature of Windows, it will automatically restart the computer and start a memory test. Memtest86 is a portable memory testing tool you will need to download and setup on an empty flash drive then boot into.

 

I would still test the GPU as well, even though it was working fine a month ago, doesn't mean it is now. I'm just giving you all the options. It's your computer and your issue so test what you want to. I'm just giving you the possible culprits.

I tried both memory tests so it seems it's the GPU, gonna test that now and if that's the case then I'll have to buy the RTX 4070 Ti Super I was wanting but wanted to wait and still use this GPU since my games are not that demanding GPU wise.

I installed windows clean again, reformatted it so I can have windows 10 since I didn't like windows 11, in the meantime I took out the graphics card before the installation and I'm still having a blue screen here or there but things seem to be a bit better but still getting dll errors and everything.

I just got a new CPU/MoBo/RAM/PSU and they are the intel i7 14700k - MSI Z790 Carbon WiFi - Kingston DDR5 32GBX2 and I posted before about this and one guy replied, basically I'm getting blue screens and he also said that it could be the GPU (which is the MSI Geforce GTX 980 Ti) could be causing the problem, I have my video coming from my intergrated GPU now and am afraid to put the old GPU back in because I'm afraid everything will stop working, does anyone know why I'm getting blue screens, I ran the memory tests he told me about and they all came clean.

[BBoyDoma]

I deleted everything (formatted in the installer) of windows 10 and installed all the drivers

So UPDATE: Everything works I just needed to install the windows media feature package but I still get ocassional blue screens when booting up, never in game or anything like that, only when it boots or restarts.
