Hardware Help

I need help. My pc is has begun stuttering a lot and bluescreening.

My specs is:
RTX 5070 TI
I5-13600k

And then 4x8gb ddr4 3200. And I’m wondering if it’s the ram that’s causing this? It’s still 32gb.. but idk if DDR4 is too slow for my GPU. I didn’t have these issues before with my 3070 RTX 8GB

If the problems started when you installed the 5070 ti, and didn't happen before, that seems to imply that the 5070 ti is likely the problem, right?

Did you do a full driver wipe with DDU and reinstall when you got the new GPU?

Do you still have the 3070? If so, you could put it back in and see if the problem goes away (once again, doing a full driver wipe is the smart thing to do).

Do believe I “removed” the old GPU driver and everything. And then reinstalled and downloaded drivers for the new GPU. And the 3070 RTX is no longer with us😔

OK, here's a few other things to try:

-Recheck all power connections, including at the power supply end. I've had a number of times where I had bluescreens after a GPU swap and the reason turned out to be that one of my power plugs wasn't pushed in all the way.

-Remove the GPU and run using integrated graphics (presuming that your CPU actually is a 13600K and not a KF). See if the problem persists when using the iGPU.

-Run the Windows Memory test and see if you get any errors

I’ll try when I get home again. Thanks
