I've got an odd situation going on so I recently swapped my r5 2600x with a r7 5700 and swapped my GTX 1660 for a RTX 3050 I got 1 or 2 BSOD after the install thought nothing of it then a few days after when I'd play games part way through playing it would just go to a black screen then would reboot straight away so I reinstalled windows now after a bit of gameplay the game freezes which I would've thought to be a ram issue or something but windows is still useable apart from things not loading like task manager and file explorer not opening at all this is happens at random points usually between 10-30mins up to about an hour so I had a look at event viewer all that's coming back that seems to be a red flag is this "Windows cannot load the extensible counter DLL "C:\WINDOWS\system32\sysmain.dll" (Win32 error code The specified module could not be found.)." I thought I'd ask what people suggest before I reinstall windows again

Since you replaced some hardware parts, I'd reinstall Windows again to get to a clean state.
