Hi all, I just have some questions. My specs are in my signature. I recently got a new z77 sabertooth motherboard, because my old asrock z77 extreme4 broke on me. I also moved all of my components into a new case.
I have been getting random BSODs after starting up my pc, and sometimes while It's on. And sometimes it won't even turn on at all.
I figured it might be the 4.2GHz overclock on my CPU, but I just ran AIDA64 Extreme system stability test for 4hrs, and I passed all of the tests with my CPU under 100% load. I took the overclock off on my GPU, and even tried resetting everything in BIOS back to defaults, which leaded to a BSOD, And reverting back to the original BIOS that came with the installation disk.
I'm really at a loss here guys, and any help would be appreciated a lot. I'm going to try to RMA my PSU and my motherboard and see if that helps at all.
Again, thanks in advance.

I did not reinstall the OS, once I logged onto my PC it said that I had windows 10, but it was not activated, so I had to contact microsoft help desk via the app, and they walked me through getting my windows 10 reactivated.
Also, sometimes with my motherboard, I will restart it, and it will say "please select proper boot device."
I ended up deactivated every boot option besides Windows Boot Manager in the BIOS.

How would I go about reinstalling my windows 10 OS? I've never done a reinstall of windows before. They gave me a product key.
