Windows 10: Bluescreen and reset while gaming or randomly very rarely - Win 11

Hi there,I've been having reoccurring issues with my pc restarting multiple times with various games. I have been able to run some games stable and others not. I've tried almost everything online and I've replaced the M.2 drive i thought was causing the issue Does not have anything on it currently that I'm using and I'm still having problems. I think there is something with the MOB controller for my front m.2 on the Strix x570i Gaming board. * 5950x PBO disabled* Asus EKWB 3090* Strix 570i boardI've run multiple ram tests which have passed through windows and memtest. Overclocking is basica

:)

 

Games crash randomly, rarely a Bluescreen as well.

Please help me!

My games (mainly Call of Duty) crashes on my new computer and I have no clue on how to fix it or nail down the problem.

CoD usually crashes with the error code 0x0000005C.

Newest Drivers installed, newest version of BIOS installed all possible windows updates installed, no virus on this brand new computer (kaspersky installed but not active when playing). I have checked the RAM for errors with Memtest86 and the windows memory integrity function. No errors found. Sfc /scannow also does not find anything. I have done CPU benchmarks and graphics benchmarks. They usually run stable and the games run smooth until the crash happens. The games usually just freeze and very, very rarely (1 out of 30 times I get a bluescreen).

The computer itselfs seems to run fine outside of games. Programs do not crash and theres no exessive heat when gaming (CPU is watercooled anyways).

I thought that Overclocking might is the problem which is why I am running everything on stock besides the RAM. It is running on the stock XMP 1 setting which is said to be supported by the mainboard producer.

Is there anything else I could do? By the way: I build this computer twice, for me and my wife and it is having the same crashes for both of us. This is the first time that one of my builds isnt running smoothly.

Those are my specs for both PCs:

• Windows 11 Pro 64 bit
  
• Z790 Aero G
  
• I9-13900K
  
• 32GB RAM @7,2 Ghz (G.Skill)
  
• 2x M.2 2TB 980 Samsung
  
• RTX 4080
  

But I am not sure If I made a mistake when choosing the system storage. The motherboard producer (gigabyte) has a list of supported M.2 storage devices. The 980 1TB version is among those, but the 980 2TB version was not listed. Could this be the cause ? The thing is that the system itself seems to run very stable as long as I dont play video games on it. It can run for hours and days doing everything. But games seem to be unstable. Especially CoD where most of the crashing is happening while other games rarely or never crash at all.

My old PCs never did this on CoD. Could this really be the not offically supported 2TB M2 version ? And if its not that ? What else could it be ?

PC randomly freezes while gaming

I visited the website of my mobo manufacturer and the latest drivers provided there are for Win 7: ASRock > P45DE3

Would it be a good idea I switch to Win 7?
