I'm getting a lot of BSODs especially ones related to memory

Unfortunately you have basically a new machine so the problem could be anywhere. What you need to narrow down first is whether it is a hardware or software issue. Can you share the details of the BSOD including the actual stop code and ideally the stack trace. You can get all this information from the crash dump that is generated when it happens. If you search for Reliability in Windows search it will take you to the app that shows you the errors and can give you the more detailed information. With that in hand, and by comparing the various BSODs, you can narrow down whether it is a hardware or software issue generally. If not then you'd need to share your crash dump file so we can look at it.

Some things that come to mind:

• An IRQL error can be caused by a driver issue. This happens if a driver tries to do something while the system is handling a higher IRQL request. This can be either hardware or a bad driver.
• Check your memory using a memory testing tool, such as Memtest86. Do a detailed test and it'll check everything. If that succeeds then it isn't the memory.
• Do the same testing on your graphics card and CPU. There are dedicated tests for these that put them under load. If your system crashes while they are under load it indicates a hardware issue.
• If you have OC'ed your machine then reset it to the OEM defaults. Then try it for a few days to see if it is fine. If it is then start enabling OC features 1 at a time until it starts failing again.
• If the machine was fine until an update then undo the update and see if the problem goes away. If so then it might be a bad update.

If you built it yourself then some additional things to consider:

• Are your components compatible? Not every motherboard can use every memory card available. Latency timings and things like memory speeds can cause issues if the motherboard doesn't support it. Many computer building sites provide tools to help determine this.
• If you have a very new CPU generation then ensure it is supported by your motherboard. Motherboard firmware generally has to be updated for the newest CPUs. So ensure your motherboard is up to date.
• Motherboards can short out if you incorrectly mount the board in the case. Not every screw hole on the board is screwed into the case. The motherboard/case docs should tell you which one's to use. Shorting the board will cause random restarts, especially when the machine is moved.
• Ensure everything is fully seated correctly. This is especially true for longer graphics cards. They tend to require extra support to keep them from coming too lose.
• Check your power requirements. Every hardware component has a required power usage, both nominal and under load. Ensure your PSU can handle all components at their under load level. If it can't then it'll shut down the computer or kill power to the component. Both will crash your system.
• For a new CPU ensure you have good thermals. Use a tool like CpuTemp to monitor the temps and ensure they are within range of what the CPU allows, nominal and under load. If the CPU gets too hot then it'll throttle back and if it continues for too long (or gets too hot) it'll shut down.
• For a new graphics card, replace it with something else or use the on-board video from the CPU for a few days. If the crashes stop then you might have the cause.
• If you have other devices connected like USB components then disconnect them temporarily. If the problem goes away then the USB device may be causing the issue.

Finally, it is possible there is a hardware issue. Bad memory is easy to find because swapping out memory solves the issue. A bad CPU is difficult to check and you pretty much have to RMA it to the seller. A bad motherboard is similarly difficult to diagnose without moving the components to a different board. If you get to this point you might do better to take the machine to a shop and let them diagnose it. They have multitools that can check things like power voltage on the board and whatnot to more quickly diagnose problems.

Hi Haret hh,

Sorry for the late response.

The fact that BSODs occur after launching apps like Discord or Wallpaper Engine suggests the issue is likely related to power delivery or CPU stability—especially given your motherboard's 4-pin CPU power connector.

I managed to find a few solutions you can consider:

From your previous comment it is a great move to Disable CPU Overclocking. With a Ryzen 7 3700X and only a 4-pin CPU connector, the board might not be delivering enough stable power under load. This can cause random crashes or BSODs.

Reference: MSI BIOS Overclocking Settings Overview

Checking your PSU capacity is also important. If your power supply isn’t rated to handle your CPU, GPU, and peripherals under full load, it can cause instability.

You can use this calculator website to estimate your system’s power needs: MSI PSU Calculator

If disabling overclocking stabilizes your system, that’s a strong sign the issue was power-related. If not, I suggest taking your hardware to a local technician for hardware diagnostics would be the next best step.

I really hope you have fixed your issued!
