Hey everyone, so I've made the decision to move most of my computer components into a new chassis, a microATX, and everything was running smoothly except when a couple issues popped up. Since I moved from a mid tower to a MATX I needed a new mother board and CPU cooler to compensate for the new case. When getting the new motherboard it created the issue of drivers interfering with the old drivers from my old motherboard, so to fix the issue I cleaned off my SSD and reinstalled Windows as a fresh start. Before that I would receive the BSOD after about 30 seconds to a minute of booting up windows. This was also however after I installed the new CPU cooler. After reinstalling Windows I still get the BSOD about the same time after Windows is booted up, what I'm not sure about is if the problem is the new CPU cooler, the motherboard, or my CPU. I say my CPU only because when taking off my previous CPU cooler I applied too much thermal paste and a little ended up on the sides of the CPU but nothing on the bottom and I did clean it as much as possible before applying the new CPU cooler.
Components:
CPU: I7-6700k
GPU: Gigabyte G1 1070
RAM: Corsair vengeance DDR4
New MB: Gigabyte z170mx
New CPU cooler: Corsair H55 AIO liquid cooler
Thank you!
