I have built this computer about a year and a month ago.
As soon as I assembled it would not boot into the bios unless I added a CD-ROM drive, a tiny problem until I added a old junky one that allowed it to run and install Windows 8.1 Pro pretty easily.
A week after is when the problems started.
I had only 3 games on it, (The Mass Effect Trilogy) and it ran pretty well until I have a blue screen out of nowhere. Thinking it was a random occurrence, I didn't pay much attention to it. (It was a PFN_LIST_CORRUPT)
Then the blue screens progressed. I decided to try Windows 10 a month after it came out, and it didn't do a damn thing. Worse and more frequent, the blue screens took hours to come then minutes to come. (And these blue screens weren't just PFN_LIST_CORRUPTs. They were multiple error codes. From VIDEO_DRIVER_INIT_FAILURE to IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. You name it.)
As of 4 months ago my computer started adding red screens of death to the picture. Without text, these RSoDs would take about a minute or 2 to dump and then my computer would reboot. That was when I was playing Dragon Age: Inquisition. I started playing Overwatch when it came out the other day, and I get RSoDs every time the game tries to load once it's running or when I attempt to start it.
After all this time of troubleshooting and thinking of all the possibilities (I even tried underclocking my processor because I heard that the AMD FX-9590 has some funky heat spikes and it'll be a good idea to underclock it a bit, still didn't work... And I tried fiddling around with the clocking settings for a while.), today I gave up and decided to use the Windows 10 reset (the one that tries to keep your files)... It didn't jive well and it canceled twice (I attempted to do it twice). I probably should of stopped there but I decided to do a full wipe and reset and it was processing well until it hit 66% and crashed pretty hard.
It got stuck in a reboot cycle. It'll only stop once I got into the bios. I used the junky old CD-ROM drive again to reinstall Windows 8.1 Pro again and once I plugged in my back up flash drive to shove some of my flies on it... It gave me another PFN_LIST_CORRUPT.
I gotta tell ya, I really missed having a PC to work with. But this is really throwing me for a loop.
