PC keeps crashing

Status
Not open for further replies.
I have a pretty basic gaming pc (ryzen 5 3600, amd radeon rx 570, 16 gb ram, asus tuff b450 pro gaming motherboard). A little while ago i bought a new ssd to put in my system so i was not limited with only my Kingston A400 SSD 480GB 2.5'' . My new ssd was a TEAM GROUP MP34 1TB NVME PCIE GEN3 X 4 M.2 2280 and i was really excited with my puschase. When i tried to put my new one in and take the old out my system wasnt able to run windows even tho i had installed them in the new ssd and it required the old one too to run, so now i think the pc is running with the help of both cards.

After some time (present time) i took my pc apart to clean it, i took out only the graphics card and ram and brushed the dust off with somewhat paintbrush. I started putting everything together again and did so cablemanagement around my desk as well so i stop for the night and continued the next morning. Once i put the computer i made sure it was running and didnt really did anything with it until later that day. I started my computer and started playing beamNG drive which i played before cleaning the computer and it worked by this time after 2-3 minutes the whole computer crashed. Once i restarted it the system couldnt detect the second screen, but the screen was mirroring the first, all my games were running on 5 fps but my browser and other computer was working. I thought i fixed it when i did a system restore bcs everything was normal, the screen was detect and my games were playing. I started playing a game but again it crashed , just this time when i restarted the screen was working and the games werent running at 5 fps. I update the amd drivers and this time it took about 6 minutes for the game to crash. I quit playing the game cause i thought i was the games fault and went to play gta 5 but that crashed as well, it was like only good graphic games were crashing it cause i played hoi4 and it was working not crashing. I gave up that day and went to sleep. I woke up the next day and got on my computer and this time it wasnt crashing, did.. did it fix itself? I played a lot that day and was pretty happy BUT the next day it was crashing again. I dindnt think twice (which i should had) and reseted the pc. After the reset everything was working, no crashing, no nothing , although the other 2 disk i had on my pc werent erased and i dont know why. I had homework and school so i didnt really sit on my pc that day by i was sure it wasnt crashing and it woulnt crash. The next day i opened my computer but didnt stay on it, it was open until later that day, once i got on it to my suprise it had froze but this time on the first screen the one you put your password in. I was very upset i restarted it and it had happent the screen mirrored, idk if the games work i havent open any yet. My dad has a idea that if we reset the computer take out the extra disk and download new windows only on the m2 ssd it will be brand new, but i am not sure i think i must have done something to the graphics card when i took it out, that would explaine why it lasted longer after i update the drivers, right?

I would really appreciate if i coulnt get a response back soon thank you. (and for your knowlenge i cant afford a new gaphics card right now )

is the cpu clear of dust . . . you cleaned everything else . . check the cpu heatsink fins are not full of might be overheating in which case it will
shut down . . . easiest way . .get an airline and blow it out . .if you've still got problems at least you can rule out overheating
