Crashing constantly even after replacing tons of hardware

[NickBramald]

So this July I installed a brand new H100i v2 cooler to my AMD FX-6300 CPU, it was around that time that I started to crash all the time whilst gaming, and getting the bsod quite frequently. I had been putting up with it for months until black Friday arrived, where I bought an i5 6600k, MSI Mortar Z170 mobo and 8gb of DDR4 RAM. I thought this would fix the crashes, but, no. It hasn't. I've replaced RAM, my CPU, my MOBO, PSU, freshly installed windows 3 times, rebuilt my PC with different cables about 3 times. I'm desperate to fix this and I really don't know what to do. Thanks to anyone who can help.

 

System:

Intel i5 6600k @ 4.5Ghz

Corsair H100i v2 

MSI Mortar Z170m

8gb Crucial RAM

Nvidia GTX 1060

500w EVGA PSU

240gb Sandisk SSD

2TB Toshiba HDD (For downloads)

500gb WD Blue HDD (For backups)

Definitely, yes.

According to Intel's site the i5-6600K has a base frequency of 3.5GHz. You mentioned in your original post that it was 4.5GHz, Not sure if that's a typo or if you're overclocking. If its an overclock, try running the CPU at its base frequency just to see if that maybe fixes the issue. If it was just a typo then look into driver issues. Boot into safe mode (which boots only windows core drivers and not drivers from third party vendors) from there you can launch this handy tool from a flash drive. It will read your log files and tell you which driver (you may need a quick google search to match the .exe to the actual hardware) is causing the issue. To boot into safe mode from windows 10 (assuming you can actually get to the OS) hold down the shift key while clicking Start>Power Button>Restart. after a restart you will see options to enter safe mode. If Windows keeps crashing and you cannot get to the OS you will have to boot from your installation media and navigate to the "advanced" option. safe mode should be an option from there. If you do wind up finding a problem driver(s) uninstall them from device manager and reboot normally (not safe mode) Windows will automatically install some base level compatible driver for most modern hardware. At this point you could get a current version from the OEM. Make sure to avoid beta versions if you can. Good luck
