So I recently installed a new CPU (AMD FX 8350), and since then I've been getting some BSODs and I have a feeling it has something to do with installing the new CPU, because this actually has never happened to me on this computer. I'm fairly certain that everything is seated correctly and I installed it properly, but I could be wrong.
I'll post the BSODs that I have. All these were happening when I was playing GTA 5, and no other game. I did have it crash once when I was running Prime95 as well.
However, the most recent one that I got (image3.jpg) happened when I was simply browsing the web.
I think that the problem is the motherboard, as it's old as fuck. It could also be the ram, because that's also old as shit.
Could the fact that I'm using the stock cooler have anything to do with it either?
Any thoughts would be appreciated because this shit is pissing me off beyond belief.
Did you look at this list? Did you make sure that your CPU was on this list before buying and installing it? No?
People who assume anything is supported as long as it physically fits into the socket are the reason why Intel just changes the damn sockets every couple of years so people are forced to get new boards with new chipsets.
You could have fried your stuff like this.

Have you updated the BIOS for the motherboard? I suggest you check the temps on the motherboard.

This board is not made for this, try google

Gonna place an order for a new motherboard.
Made the exact mistake that you mentioned "People who assume anything is supported as long as it physically fits into the socket are the reason why Intel just changes the damn sockets every couple of years so people are forced to get new boards with new chipsets."
Seriously, thanks for the insight guys.

how old is your ram? I had bsods on my phenom II 965, went to a i5 4670, still had bsods, changed 2 gpus during that time, still had bsods, bought 2 ssds, still had bsods, and then when I finally changed my ram all my bsods disappeared

I'm amazed it even booted to be honest.
Grab a nice 970/990 board and call it a day. Preferably one with good MOFSETs for overclocking.
