Trouble finding a hardware fault.

[Reef_Jackson]

I’m currently trying to diagnose an issue with my computer.

I’ve found that it began bluescreening after I cleaned it (Didn’t take it apart, just dusted the thing and switched a fan around).

The one consistent BSOD I was getting was a KMODE_EXCEPTION. Which points to it being a RAM issue, considering I DDU’d the entire system.

Memory tested, no issues there.
Disk checked, no issues there.
GPU isn’t the issue as I’ve swapped it out and there’s been no problems.
CPU doesn’t appear to be causing the issues.

I know it’s a hardware fault as I’ve even swapped over to Linux to see if it was a Windows issue, nope. Even Linux crashes.

Annoying thing is, the system crashes after around 5 hours of use or so, so it’s not like I can just test constantly.

Any thoughts?

I have the money to replace parts, but have no clue what I need to replace!

g’day and welcome to the Forum.

Let’s get your complete PC specs so we know what we are dealing with.

get Speccy from here; Speccy - Download Builds
in Speccy, click File > Publish Snapshot (hit Yes if prompted to proceed with publish) > Copy to Clipboard > Close.
now you can paste (Ctrl+V) that link into your next post.
One component Speccy doesn’t cover is the Power Supply Unit, so also include the make/model of the PSU.

I’m running Linux so that won’t work. I’ll just dump a neofetch in here.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (12) @ 3.600GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Rev. A
MEM: Corsair Vengeance RGB 16GB x 2 3200mhz
MOBO: AB350 Gaming CF
PSU: EVGA 600W PSU

Hope this helps

Which Linux Distro are you using?
Desktop Enviromint

switched a fan around

Have you tried putting them back the way they were?

Open terminal and see if this out put the information that @Bruce is asking for.
inxi -Fz

Copy and Paste the information into your next post.

Under load?
Temps?
When the system is idle?
Randon?

Reseated all data and power cables?
Same for the RAM and Display card?

just dusted the thing

How may have jarred something loose and just needs to be reattached.

Do you still need help?
