Update: Bad news, I redid the thermal paste on GPU and CPU and still having the crashes.

Good news, I got my tax refund and the OK from my partner to up the budget so I have put together another proposed build with a few comments from my post last week in mind as well as a higher budget.

I like ASUS and it has done me well so I changed the MoBo to another ASUS and changed the GPU and CPU to ones suggested in the comments.

Please let me know what you think of this new proposed build. I figured I would just start fresh with everything new as I really don’t know why the system is crashing. It already crashed once just while making this post. I’ll only put in my old hard drives for access to all my media files.

    You should run a memory test, and if possible, test out another power supply before you commit to an expensive new build.

      Im giving the memtest a try. It’s a learning curve on doing these terminal commands, I feel like I’m back in DOS from the early 90s.
