It's just been working very poorly recently. I bought it in September and since late February has crashed every time I have tried to game. It said it was the graphics card so I got that RMA'd and it came back and the system still doesn't work.

Now I've just completely reset it to make sure it wasn't an issue with Windows itself.

You're supposed to send the entire thing in.

not when your computer tells you the errors are coming from the GPU

How was the computer telling you it was coming from the GPU? What program did you use to identify it?

Event Viewer. Told me it was a problem with the GPU hardware.

the obs2 scanner system said there was something wrong with my trucks alternator

what was actually wrong with my truck was the coil packs and spark plug wires.

the alternator was completely fine

What doesn't work? Have you tried rolling back your graphics driver? Windows events that list a problem with your graphics are usually a driver problem. I recently had to roll my Nvidia driver back because the new one caused my machine to crash after about 20 minutes of playing games.

It could be wrong, which it seems like it was. That's why you send in the whole thing...

Three different new drivers have come out since it started crashing and it still crashes on all of three.

I had a pc that kept freezing, crashing, locking up. Event viewer and bsod kept saying the graphics driver was crashing over and over. I tried swapping graphics cards, cpu, psu, different drivers. Nothing would stop the issue.

Until I bought a different brand of ram. The original ram was listed in the manual as being compatible. Turns out it was not. The ram was good. It is in another pc with no issues. Just would not work with this motherboard. All the problems went away after I bought different ram.

Hopefully you get things resolved.
