I had an issue with my pc the other day where i cleaned it and then wouldn‘t stay on for longer than 20 secs after logging into Windows.

So i tried to just reinstall Windows 11 on it but ended up deleting the whole os since it wouldnt even install because it kept blue screening. So today i installed Windows 10 instead and it worked out but i just keep getting bsod’s.

I’ve got definitely more than 30 bsod’s today while desperately trying to update my drivers.

Some of the most frequent bsods that i‘m getting are:

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE

Some of the less seen but came up ones:

APC_INDEX_MISMATCH
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
CRITICAL PROCESS DIED
ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY
SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION

I’m currently testing the RAM but I already found out that one of the 4 sticks i have is faulty.

Any advice would be appreciated!

specs:

Asrock B450m pro4
Ryzen 3600 base version with the included fan
Rtx 3060ti
48gb Corsair vengeance lpx 3200 (2x8gb/2x16gb)
2tb seagate barracuda hdd
480gb kingston ssd

I was cleaning my pc the other day like I do every few months, but after i cleaned it it wouldn't stay on for more than 20 seconds after booting. I didn't do a deep clean, I just remove dust from the fans and any build-up using a soft paintbrush and a vacuum on the lowest setting.

I've already tried the following:

- Reseated and tested each ram stick individually, no difference, they all behave the same

- Checked every component visually, nothing looks faulty

- Attempted a Windows reinstall, it shuts off mid-installation, so now I don't even have a working OS

One thing worth noting: there's no blue screen when it shuts off, it just cuts out completely.

I'm leaning towards a faulty PSU as the culprit since it might not be supplying enough power. I'm torn between just replacing the PSU or replacing both the PSU and motherboard. I'd like to keep my current hard drives and RAM since they're so expensive to replace right now.

Any advice would be appreciated!
