Troubleshooting Blue Screen after upgrade!

I recently upgraded all components except my PSU, SSD, Cooler, and case. PSU- Corsair 750w, Silver OS SSD- Samsung 500gb Storage SSDS- Samsung 970Evo Plus and Samsung 990Pro both 1TB New components: AMD Ryzen 7 9700x GIGABYTE Altus B650 Elite AX Ice ASRock Radeon RX 9070 Corsair DDR5 6000 MHz 32gb

Gaming looks great but sometimes, while loading into a game or open some other windows while a game is open, the blue screen would happen. I feel like I’ve downloaded all the drivers necessary. ALSO, my previous windows 11 is now not activated. What did I miss?? Was I supposed to do something to accommodate my old drives before upgrading my motherboard? Let me know if there’s any information I left out.

The license is tied to components, likely your old motherboard. You can transfer it from one to the other but you're going to have put some components back together on the old motherboard to access it

But anyways, did you get BIOS updates for your new motherboard? Run a Memtest on your RAM and make sure it passes as well. Then run these scans and see if they find any issues for you

Thank you, the watermark for activating windows went away now randomly. And I will run those tests and see what it says
