So recently I upgraded my old cpu and motherboard, which had intergrated graphics, to a newer Intel Core i5-7400 CPU @ 3.00GHz and Gigabyte H110M-A-CF (U3E1) motherboard. It wasn't long after I put in my new parts, that were in there with a 4gb DDR4 ram, a sapphire SyncMaster on Radeon RX 460 Graphics, a 2010 Rosewill 410 Watt PSU, and a TOSHIBA DT01ACA050 hard drive, that I noticed erratic freezing. I simply ignored the blue screen messages and replaced my PSU without thinking; after all it is 7 years old must be getting old.
Now after this, (which took a month as I am a poor 18 year old), the freezing continued, I started paying attention to the blue screens. Now keep in mind these blue screens only appear once in a blue moon most of the time it's auto resets or a static screen with loud static coming into my headset. So I wrote them down and I got the following: WWW.Windows.com/stopcode, and Win34k.sys, which what a gathered from looking these up is that there's a problem with my up to date drivers and that something is wrong with my computer, (thanks windows for the great website). I also got clockwatchdog timeout, and using deduction, from the slight problems I had installing my RAM initially, I decided it was probably my RAM, I was pretty sure. But I downloaded MEM Check on one of my flash drives and ran it 3 times; your RAM is fine it told me. I decided whatever MEM Check doesn't know anything and got another RAM stick to put in my computer.
After that the three previous blue screens vanished, and I got 4 new ones, all in a week. I got Kernel Security Check Failure and Clockwatchdog Timeout, but since my Hard drive has served me well for 4 years I figured maybe it was a fluke or something. Then I got Unexpected Kernel mode trap, system thread exception not handled, and driver IRQL not equal. Now I'm at a point where I'm asking myself, "All my drivers are updated, installed, and reinstalled; my CPU is probably working since my computer can turn on and function most of the time, my hard drive and graphics were in my old integrated graphics DDR3 setup and they never gave my problems, I had two new RAM sticks and a new PSU, what is causing me to freeze." This is when I decided to stop making decisions on my own and consult people who actually know about computers, (considering when I first put a computer together I grinded a Hard drive disk into breaking, don't ask me how I don't even know.)
So please if you know what could be the problem, let me know what I need to do please. Thank you for reading and sorry for any typos I may have made, I really wasn't sure what category to put this in so I hope components is right. (also thank you whoever made this website because my computer froze as I finished this and I was terrified I was going to have to rewrite the whole thing but it saved for me phew!)
