Windows 10 crashes while playing Games

Thanks. I like it a lot that there are multiple Ways to install it. I think I'll download the Windows Version because I assume this one would be the easiest to install.
It said 2014 on my Computer and the latest on the Website is from 2015 so unless it shows the wrong Date for some Reason, I seem to have a old Version
 
Don't try to flash your BIOS if you have any doubts about your system's stability.

1.10 is the newest version for that board anyway...it never had much support.
 
What cooler is on your CPU?

Also Memtest64 should ideally be run at least a few hours.

When I was a partner in an IT business we used to run our burn in tests overnight. With the change in PC usage many systems are often left running for days.
 
I don't know how I'm supposed to remove the old PSU. The only Screws I see look like the Bottom of normal Screws and it doesn't really look like they are connected to the PC Case unless they are unbelievable long. I've already looked if there are visible Screws on the Bottom of the PC Case but I can't see any of them. Either the Screws that connect the PSU to the Rest are extremely well hidden or I need to find a specific Screwdriver.

The only Screws I'm seeing, look like this (I'm sorry for the bad Quality of the Picture. For some Reason the Camera doesn't want to make a good Picture of it)

Edit: OK, I found the extremely bad Manual of that Thing online and it can be seen on the Photo that there should be normal looking Screws on the Bottom, so I will look again if I can find them

Now I'm more confused than before how exactly it is connected

Look at the back of the outside of the case, the side where the power cable plugged in. There should be four screws around the perimeter of the PSU exhaust (that picture of yours is the intake). If you remove those, the PSU should be free.

Make sure you shut everything off and disconnect the power cables from all internal components attached to the PSU first.

You're right. How didn't I think of it myself?😅
Maybe it's because I'm also stressed because I'm still searching for Christmas Presents

Now everything would be perfect if the Cables on the Inside would allow me to remove them (and yes, I'm pressing that Thing down, so normally they should move). The only Thing that moves is the whole Computer 😑

Finally. After more than 50 Minutes. If the PSU is really one of the easiest Components to replace, I don't want to know how hard it is to replace the other ones

Hardness of removing PSU depends...if machine was put together nicely, if case is something that allows easy access. On cramped case removing cables inside really can mean getting other stuff out of the way first...
 
I think I did everything right but I got a Blue Screen after a few Minutes with the Error Code PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

At least it starts now after it crashed. I'll try some Tips from a Website and ask for Help if nothing of it helps

Edit: damaged Files where found. I'll try to repair the System with the MediaCreationTool

For some Reason it won't let me keep my Files. Any other Ideas how to repair the System?

Ok, this Time Windows 10 was successful in repairing itself instead of making it worse. Time to test if everything works now 😃

This thread is giving me flashbacks. My schoolboy error was not checking the ram I'd installed 12 months previously was securely clipped into place (the clips had popped undone on one of them) and it was ever so slightly loose giving me a blue screen of death at random times.

Reinstalled windows, took the graphics card out, ran error checks. 3 days later... Oh, the clip on the ram is popped open...

#Idiot

Hope it gets sorted!

Don't let the boards flex too much, if you can avoid it.

I would double to check to make sure everything is seated correctly. All cables, memory, GPU, etc.

Was so happy that I can play now just for a Problem with dxgmms2.sys to crash the Computer

At this point, it's probably best to check the system for basic stability, then wipe the thing and start fresh. There was obviously some serious corruption and trying to separate the problems that has caused from hardware issues is going to be very difficult.
 
Now everything seems to work. I've updated Windows 10 and I've learned that Windows 10 limits the Use of the Graphics Card (really Microsoft? Why do you Guys do all that Stuff that only causes Problems? I hope whoever came up with that Idea gets fired🤬) so I've also fixed this. I've played now Jurassic World Evolution since approximately 2 Hours without a single Problem. I'm so excited to finally play the Aquatic Pack for Planet Zoo now that everything seems to work. I hope it stays like that. I don't want to lose my Progress when I'm building something really complex
 
Well, it worked perfectly until one Hour ago. I hope it's ok if I ask for Advice regarding new Cooling Devices

You should verify that temperatures are actually an issue before trying to replace any of your system's cooling.

Replacing the PSU was reasonable give the issues in diagnosing power problems and the deficiencies with the original unit, but it makes little sense to start replacing more hardware without identifying specific issues.
