I've upgraded my computer and bought new cpu+mobo+ram while using my old ssd/hdd, gpu and psu recently. I reformatted my storages and installed a fresh copy of windows 10 and i was having frequent BSOD (Memory Management) whenever the computer boots up into windows. I will need to keep restarting my computer and then it will eventually be usable and there will be no problem even after leaving my computer on over the weekend. The problem comes back right after i restart my computer. I've downloaded all drivers and updated the latest BIOS version but no luck in fixing the BSODs. Today, i reformatted the computer all over again but now my screen will either turns off by itself and the cpu fan will get really loud with the computer still running (music still playing) or the computer will just restart by itself whenever i launch a game.

Anybody got any clue to my problem? Faulty hardware? :s11:

NEW PARTS:
CPU: i7-8700
MOBO: asrock b360 pro4
RAM: 2x corsair 8gb 2666
OLD PARTS:
GPU: 1050ti
PSU: 500W bronze (Xigmatek Tauro, about 5yrs old)

I'm using the 2666mhz corsair ram but using the default settings of 2133mhz. Do i need to switch to 2400mhz?

you might want to try with one stick of ram and test to see if problem appear.. if it still occurs, download memtest and run for 6-8 hours.. see if any errors.. also i presume your os is installed in the ssd. remove the hdd and monitor..

Okay I'll try it out tonight. Do you mean removing monitor and using the onboard graphics? And is it possible that I'm having a bad psu/graphics card

yea.. you can give that a try too.. you meant removing the graphic card.. no harm to eliminate the possibilities. unlikely for psu to cause memory bsod.. most likely related to ram or disk..

I've tried putting on just 1 ram stick and the problem still exists. Most of the time when i boot up my computer i will have a black screen with the cpu running, or the screen will black out when i start a game. But now when i take out my GPU and just use onboard graphics i've no problem at all, even with 2 ram sticks inserted in. Is my gpu faulty?

it does sounds like a gpu problem. try with a spare and see if problem persist..

Could be your PSU too, not supplying enough juice.
