Hey Peeps, So long story short I am having a plethora of problems recently, but I want to start this story from the beginning so you guys get the just and maybe can see why or another way the problems are being caused.

Timeline: In June of 2013 I wanted a gaming pc for my birthday and my parents got me one. I knew nothing about gaming pcs or anything so I asked for this IBUYPOWER machine that was like $600, so I got that and used it like that until Christmas 2015, when I got a abundance of money for pc parts and upgrading my stuff, So I got a new NZXT CASE, and an Asus M5A97 R2.0 and a EVGA GeForce GTX 960, and a AMD 4300 FX Black Edition Processor, I kept the hard drive from my old computer as well as the ram. So this year for my graduation I got some more money. I wasn't quite fully happy with the performance of my PC yet as I am now a YouTuber and a streamer. So I wanted more processing power to be able to make videos in 1080P 60FPS with no hassle or effect on my gaming abilities, So I spent some money and got a AMD 8350 Processor and a Evo Hyper 212 Heatsink for it. Along with (2) 8GB sticks of Ballistix RAM. Put all of that in and ran my PC great for about a week or two. Then I noticed started getting a massive amount of BLUE SCREENS OF DEATH. All different kinds of error codes and "problems arising". So I proceeded to run CHECK DISK AND SCAN NOW ETC. When running check disk there were problems found. So I tried to fix those and then DEFRAGGED my pc and stuff and ran scans for antivirus etc. Nothing worked and the crashes persisted. So Yesterday I went out and bought a new hard drive because its the only PC part I haven't swapped out since getting my original one, so I bought a Western Digital 2TB Black Gaming hard drive. Came home and installed my windows 10 and everything began working flawlessly for that night and half of today. Now today while playing StarCraft two I had two game crashes back to back. Then upon third time starting a game I got the first Blue Screen Of Death since I got the new drive. Now I restarted my computer and haven't got another crash yet. But now I am noticing that my razor black widow keyboard keeps going in and out, as well as windows making the sound it makes when you plug in a USB device. I unplugged and re plugged it and it continues. So my question is what else may be the issue? Are my components I've built my PC of work well together or are they combined wrong? If so what should I fix or change? Are the crashes now a CPU Problem or???? Help me out and leave as much feedback as you would like.

Solution
Few things in the build, the FX8350 has known issues with lower end motherboards like what you have, they run best on the 990 chipset, that could be causing issues.

If your Corsair PSU is a CX model (I am going to guess it it since many people buy those due to cost) that may also be causing issues, the CX models are the lower end ones from Corsair and are not as good to use in a high power build. Once you test the RAM and some other things a motherboard swap or a power supply swap may be a good idea. A clean Windows setup may help, and since you were upgrading parts, make sure all your connections are in properly for power, hard drives, re-seat RAM, etc... Basically make sure no issues with the setup of the case and parts.
