Hi! I've been having constant issues with blue screens, random restarts, and other issues for about 2 months now, and after a Discord convo, it's looking like there might be a problem with my GPU. I've added some screenshots of the conversation we had in Discord to this post.    Here are my PC specs. If you need any more info I'll be glad to send it. EVGA GTX 1650 XC Ryzen 5 2600 16GB RAM 500GB Samsung SSD (Boot drive) 640GB WD Blue HDD (Pulled from an old Gateway, used for backups and other files) MSI motherboard Windows 10 Pro TP-Link Archer Wi-Fi card I've also received a BSOD with a stopcode of IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL since that conversation.

I've already done a PC reset, which is basically a reinstall, but it has an option to keep your personal files and just reinstalls the system files and uninstalls your apps.

Power supply is a likely culprit for random issues particularly restarts. You did not mention what PSU you have. Do you have another you can test with?

Pc reset isn’t good enough imo.

I'll update the original post, and unfortunately I don't have another PSU I can test with. Usually, though, my PC just BSODs, random restarts were more common when the problems started but they're less common now. Plus, my build is only about 2 years old, so I do doubt it's failing this early in its life but I do suppose Ican't rule that out entirely Sajin

Alright, I'll look into doing a full reinstall if I'm not busy. In the meantime, is there anything else I can check? When I do reinstall, I'll report whether or not I still have issues. Edit: Looks like I can't edit my original post right now, my PSU is an EVGA 750W.

I'd sure hate to do that without exploring other options. Even with having games and apps on separate drives, a clean install and getting the system back to where it was, takes two days.

If that’s what it takes then so be it.

You can try running all your ram sticks individually.

Sure, as a LAST resort. Sure seems like overkill as the FIRST suggestion... don't you agree?

Why not? You suggest the most extreme method as the first. Bad advice, the end. Later.

If I think that’s what the op needs to do that is what I’m going to suggest first. Extreme or not.
