To begin, this is the first post I've made on this forum. After searching the forums i found several similar problems but nothing that solved the issue im having. I recently built a new gaming computer and it has crashed on my several times. Sometimes its a blue screen with a sad face and it automatically restarts and sometimes the main display just conks out and flickers indefinitely.
I'd appreciate any help this is the first custom computer i've built so I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting.
