Windows 10: Upgraded motherboard and CPU - now getting random crashes

Hello! I upgraded from B350 motherboard to B550 and also replaced my Ryzen 7 1800X with a 3800X. Specs now are:

16 GB 3200 MHz RAM

MSI Gaming Trio RTX 3080 3 GB

Ryzen 7 3800X

Windows 10 Pro


I found Windows even after a fresh install will crash when I'm playing games or downloading some drivers. Not BSOD, but lock up and freeze, either immediately or gradually. In the reliability monitor, I found an A1 bluescreen error and also a LiveKernelEvent 144 error, which are linked to RAM and GPU drivers respectively. I would again like to mention that I have reinstalled Windows fresh twice and continue to have these errors. I also can upload the dump file if need be. Any help would be appreciated - thank you!

Upgrading Motherboard and CPU

I bought a default Lenovo K450 a few years back that came with Windows 8 preinstalled. Well over the past few months I've upgraded the PSU, GPU, and moved too an SSD without much of a hassle since I was using the same motherboard and CPU. Well, I'm moving
too a whole new upgrade and changing the case, motherboard, CPU, and adding a network card. My question is, once I've changed out all of the parts, will I need to reinstall Windows 8, or can I just install Windows 10 again like normal and follow the steps
with customer support to establish the legitimacy of my previous Windows OS? I have the OEM and Product Key.
