sounds like a plan.
definitely turn off OC until you have a stable system.
let's get a new Speccy.

when Win10 was reloaded, was the internet disconnected and only the one drive attached?
of those swapped parts, which are new and which are used?

If nothing was OC'd does that make any difference on how the system runs?

I just reset BIOS to default settings, and everything looks the same like after OC'd (3.5GHz -> 4.5GHz (1.270v +0.140 offset)

Still suggest getting a larger drive.

I will try to get a new one in few weeks.

Did you install the drivers in the proper order starting with chipset and motherboard drivers first?
Click to expand...
After your post, I updated all the drivers, except system firmware (Microsoft 06.2006 ver. 10.0.19041.1) newer one (ASUSTeK 09.2016 ver. 10.0.10586.1).

when Win10 was reloaded, was the internet disconnected and only the one drive attached?
Click to expand...
Yes, the internet was disconnected, and I plugged in and formatted the second disk after Windows was installed on the first one.

of those swapped parts, which are new and which are used?
Click to expand...
Both are used. CPU is from an office pc, worked only in exel etc., never was OC'd, and the motherboard is simply used. Both were checked in PC service.

Speccy:

Also, I just noticed my restart option from the start menu doesn't work correctly. When I tried to install newer drivers for the system firmware, I couldn't restart my computer. After reboot, when BIOS is loaded and Windows loading screen appears, PC shuts down the display and reboots again. After the second reboot display, mouse and keyboard are disabled. I need to turn off the extension cord, wait until the green light on the motherboard is off, then I can turn on the computer normally. Restarting the PC with the reset button on the case seems to work without any issues.

Which slots are filled with RAM?

When you did the fresh install of Windows where did and how was the install media created.
Click to expand...
RAM is currently located in 1–3 slots.
I made a USB flash drive via official Microsoft program.

Before I went to sleep, I disconnected the whole extension cord from electricity. When I turned on PC in the morning, I was able to restart the system once again from the start menu option.

According to the manual the RAM is correct.

Have you checked the manual to make sure that the jumpers are set for your system and not still for theirs?

Why is there an extension cord?
why not go directly to the mains or surge protector.

Since the restart how is the system running?

Let's see what Crystal Disk Info show us for that drive as well.
Download the ZIP version and uncompress that way there is nothing to install.
Post a screen shot showing that drive.

Show one for each of the drive attached to the system.

I don't know exactly what you mean by "jumpers are set for your system and not still for theirs"

Surge protector will come later on today, I'm just waiting for delivery.

For now, system looks normal, expect for the same GPU error. I tried to undervolt GPU (from 1.043v to 0.925v) but without any result.

This should explain jumpers better than I can
www.computerhope.com

What is a Jumper?

Computer dictionary definition of what jumper means, including related links, information, and terms.
www.computerhope.com www.computerhope.com

You will need to refer to the motherboard's manual for default settings.

Form what I can see the only issue is that there is a combativity issue with the hardware.
Let's see what the other have to say.

Did you ever run the clean boot and what were the results?

Could the issue be caused by a bad CMOS battery?

Might need to replace the battery for the CMOS battery. the following link should explain and cover it better than I can.
www.electronicshub.org

What Is a Typical Symptom Of a CMOS Battery Failure?

The CMOS battery is as small as a button but it’s a significant part of your computer or laptop. The CMOS battery supplies power to the BIOS chip which starts the computer system after booting. It also manages data flow configuration between the OS and other attached hardware like hard drives...

When I got a new motherboard, I did that jumper thing to reset CMOS settings, and I also tried two different batteries (used) without any result. Tomorrow, I will get a new one.

I did it for the first time yesterday, but nothing happened.

Thank you for your time @xrobwx71
You can try NvidiaProfileInspector. Once unzipped, right click it and run as administrator. Scroll down to the power section and make changes. Click in the top right Apply changes. Test.

I'm checking out this program right now, but I need to read more about it. I was able to set "adaptive mode" while idle and run any app/game with "prefer maximum performance". But whenever I close app/ game, the same error appears. Maybe something clashes when power jumps up on the GPU?

And the results are plus when you are in BIOS what are the Date and Time

Windows is showing an Install date of 2019

I formatted both disks and installed fresh Win10 (now the system disk has 65 GB of free space).

Which should be showing 2023

when you go back into the BIOS what do that date and time show now?

Since the battery change the date and time need to be verified that the information is still correct.

If it does not show proper data and time that must be corrected otherwise the system will have issues.
