[DavidHowell]

I have an issue, over then last several months more apps have decided to stop working or crashing when opening, more frequent game crashes and now drivers for graphics and other hardware are failing to install including Windows updates failing, narrowed it down to either motherboard or CPU issues, tried changing the SSD for a known good one and RAM after BSOD with an error related to RAM or Storage and fresh install of Windows 11, on first boot everything seems okay then I update the chipset drivers and they fail to install without BS along with graphics drivers from Nvidia and Windows Updates crashing/failing and apps also freezing crashing with Java errors and runtime errors, other things I’ve tried are memory test (pass) CPU test (pass) SFC still fails after a fresh install of windows on a new SSD could anyone please help
