I have been having blue screen problems for a while now. I originally thought it was RAM related but I tested with memtest and found no errors after 5+ passes on each stick on my old motherboard. Then I thought it was motherboard. So I got a new motherboard and reinstalled Windows.
My PC has also had a strange problem where when the monitor goes to sleep the USB mouse and keyboard sometimes turn off and won't come back even when they are unplugged and plugged back in (this happened on both the old and new motherboards).
I went to reset the PC so I could get back into windows (like I have done in the past) and then blue screens and strange stuff started happening. The PC would not boot back into windows it tried and blue screen and crashed and it also would just sometimes sit at the motherboard POST screen being non responsive. I couldn't enter the BIOS or boot menu. I finally took out my pcie sound card and re-seated one stick of RAM and it booted back into windows like normal.
There seems to be no pattern to the BSODs.
I have also ran chkdsk and used CrystalDiskInfo that shows the drive is ok.
I am very frustrated with this as it's been going on for a long time. Any help is much appreciated, thank you.
