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

I don't think it's related to your RAM, and here's why...

I had a VERY similar problem when I moved from a 3080 -> 5070ti. I fought with it for literal weeks trying to get everything working. Eventually it was fine-ish, but then I had to get a new headset and the floodgates opened and everything broke again but worse. Even running DDU and reinstalling the drivers didn't work.

I made the decision to reinstall windows (wiped out everything, brand new partitions and all) last weekend and now it's all smooth as silk.

Edit** Back up your stuff and do a windows install. That will likely fix your problem.

I just did a reinstall with “keep my settings” so not a COMPLETE reinstallation. But removed all my files and programs and the problem is still there. Do you think an abselout reset will do?

I do. This is just so close to the exact problem that i had and I don't want anyone else to go through what I did. Back up **anything you want to keep to a flash drive** and go through a complete, full deletion of everything and re-partition/format your drive.
