I'm having a lot of trouble with my PC lately. It keeps experiencing frame drops, blue screens, application crashes, and even black screens. I've already replaced the power supply, RAM, and hard drive, and I've cleaned out the system, but it still runs poorly. Does anyone have suggestions for how I can troubleshoot or fix this?

Have you tried updating your motherboard BIOS and GPU drivers? Sometimes outdated drivers can cause a ton of issues like the ones you're experiencing.
The black screens you're seeing might point to a GPU problem. Do you have access to a different graphics card to try out? A known good one would help narrow down the issue.
To really get to the bottom of those blue screens, you should look for your dump files. If you can boot into Windows or Safe Mode, check the C:WindowsMinidump folder. If you find any dump files, zip that folder up and upload it to a file sharing site. That would help diagnose what's going wrong.
Honestly, with all these problems, I’d suggest reinstalling Windows. Before doing that, though, try what TechSavvy said—updating everything might help!
I’ll check for those dump files. Thanks! But I’m not sure if I have any.
