I just built a PC and I keep getting BSOD
Troubleshooting
Hey everyone, I wanted to upgrade my PC and did a few choice upgrades and I keep getting BSOD. Currently I am running a “Rogue Maximus Z90 Dark Hero Motherboard”, 2 amd radeon 7900s, Intel 14900ks, 2 sticks of (32)gb corsair vengeance ram. My computer crashes constantly on loop. I formatted my SSD and reinstalled Windows from a USB. Used the usb that came with the motherboard to install all of the necessary drivers. I was able to get the computer running good for a moment and installed steam, chrome, a few games and intel extreme utility. I got a BSOD and it was downhill all over again from there. I can’t even get a full login without it crashing after typing the password. I’ve tried pulling individual sticks of Ram to see if that had any effect and it did not. Please help!

Q&A
Do you have a PSU that can comfortably take all this load?
Higher end 13th/14th gen intel cpus have known stability issues, you will need to search partial fixes and apply them in BIOS.
Maybe it is a generic unstable RAM issue though. Is EXPO enabled? Does disabling it fix it? You can try running memtext86 to see if it finds errors.
I have a 1000w psu at the moment. I don’t believe I have Expo enabled, I can go home and run memtest86 after work and I’ll update regarding that!
does it run with 1x gpu?
Have not tried, put the pc together got a solid boot. Loaded to windows screen then it seemed as though my windows corrupted. Reinstalled windows, was able to boot up to home screen when there were no drivers. Successfully installed the drivers from the usb that came with the motherboard. Got a few additional things downloaded and then windows kept crashing over and over. Now when I put in the password to sign into the computer it just crashes again repeatedly. What I will more than likely do is go buy new ram and a bigger psu after work and remove 1 gpu and install those just to see.
im sorry but if i understand this right. you have 2x AMD Radeon 7900 XT/XTX? I dont think this is supposed to work. The last AMD Gpu which could run Crossfire was 2013? maybe someone other can jump in an clarify this.
So update, I am getting driver crash codes ram crash codes and kernal crash codes. I have reinstalled windows and updated, reinstalled drivers, tried ram individually and I am going to go buy more ram and try different sticks today. I bought a 1200w power supply which blew a capacitor when I plugged it in. Didn’t damage anything internal on the board or Cpu and GPu was not plugged in at the time. I am able to boot up CSGO and get into a game at the moment however if I try to fullscreen or anything the computer just shuts off. (This is being done with 1 GPU)
