I've recently reinstalled Windows on my laptop, but now it's constantly blue screening every 3 to 7 minutes. I'm not sure what is causing this issue and would appreciate any help.

It sounds like you need to check for minidump files, which are crash logs that can help analyze the BSODs. If you can boot into Windows or Safe Mode, look in C:WindowsMinidump for any files. If you find some, zip the folder and upload it to a file sharing site, since Reddit doesn't allow direct uploads. Also, make sure you have multiple dump files if possible. You can check out guides online on how to set up minidump configurations if you're unsure how to get more files.
What error message do you get when it blue screens? That info can be really helpful. Or if you can access your dump files, you might find useful hints there.
Since the laptop was working fine before, the blue screens are likely due to the new installation. Try booting into Safe Mode and uninstalling any drivers to let Windows reinstall them automatically. If that doesn't work, a complete reinstall of Windows again might be your best bet. Also, don’t forget to check the blue screen error codes in the Event Viewer to get more details on what's causing the crashes.
Check your minidump files for any clues; hopefully, they'll point to a specific problem like faulty drivers. If the laptop was fine before the reinstall, it’s probably an issue with the new Windows setup rather than hardware problems.
