I've been having issues with my PC crashing after a couple of months of use. The last time it crashed, my RAM wasn't properly seated, which I fixed by reseating it and resetting the CMOS. However, now my PC bluescreened while I was just scrolling, turned off instantly, and is trying to do automatic repairs without success. I reseated the RAM, SSD, and GPU again, but nothing seems to work this time. I'm getting really stressed since my previous fix isn't working and I'm on a tight budget. Here are my specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700, GPU: 5070, Motherboard: B650M D3HP Ax Micro ATX AM5, SSD: Teamgroup MP44L 2TB M.2, RAM: Teamforce 2x16 T-force delta, PSU: MSI MAG A750GL PCIE5 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply.

Have you seen what the blue screen error says? It could be something unrelated to your hardware. If possible, try to catch the error message next time it happens—it can give you clues about the issue.
It sounds like your SSD might be failing. A friend of mine had a similar issue with a bad SSD causing random crashes. Do you have a way to test your SSD, or maybe try a different connection if you have an extra cable?
Is there a method to test it without having to buy a new SSD? I'm on a tight budget right now.
From the sounds of it, your boot drive might be the culprit. I experienced something similar recently. Make sure you have backups of any important files you might have, just in case things go south. Do you happen to have any other storage drives?
I don't have any extra drives, but honestly, I only have some games on there.
I couldn't really catch it since my PC restarted so quick, but it did say something about 'Automatic Repair couldn't fix your PC' with options to shut down or go into Advanced options. I checked the RAM and SSD there, and they seemed fine.
