Hey all, about 2 months ago I decided to start upgrading my computer. First I bought a new graphics card GTX 1070 and a new i7 7700 processor. Being a dumb ass I didn't realize the socket differences between the processor and my old motherboard until I tried installing. Not wanting to spend more money right then I put the I7 away and only used the new graphics card and everything worked fine. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago I decided to finish the project and got a new motherboard, ram, and a ssd. I installed everything and was about an hour into playing Witcher 3 when my computer crashed and was stuck in an infinite start up loop. Even the BSOD was like half glitched out and unreadable.
After looking all over for a solution I decided to just take it to a repair place down the road. The guy looked at it and determined that my old mechanical hard drive was to blame for all the problems and that everything else seemed just fine. He said if I wanted any of my old files I would be able to plug in my old hard drive and transfer them to new one quickly before it crashed again. Also he had issues reinstalling windows 10 because I only had the windows 7 installation disk ( I had gotten the free windows 10), but he ended up getting windows 10 installed on the new ssd. He told me it was installed but not activated and that I would need to buy an activation key.
$100 later I brought the computer back and fired it up with just the ssd plugged in. I download Chrome, League, and Steam, and in the middle of the League installation my computer blue screened again. This time I can actually read the errors and at first the stop code was "IQRL not less or equal". I fucked around in Bios and disabled some OS setting about windows 7 installation and enabled windows 8/10 something.. Then the stop codes were "Kernel auto boost lock aquisition with raised IQRL" and a few others I cannot remember atm. I'm finally got the computer to launch in safemode and came here for help. Sorry for the length I just wanted to be as detailed as possible. Thanks to anyone who can help!
Update: It seems to only crash when I open games. League client has forced it to crash and opening AOE 2 made it crash. I had the computer idle on desktop for 3 hours and it was fine.
