Is my computer screwed?

UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I’ve bitched and moaned before on here about sporadic BSODs I’ve been getting. This Cyberpower PC is only a little over a year old.

The breakdown:

-Checked disk countless times and anti-virus and malware scan – nothing wrong

-Yes – everything in the computer tower is connected firmly and I blew away any dust. Computer isn’t overheating.

-Yes – all my drivers are updated.

-the BSODs are always kernel security check failures and they always happen when I download something huge online (torrenting, Mega, Steam, Battle.net). I can’t download the new Doom on Steam because every time it starts to download I get a blue screen.

-I resorted to reinstalling Windows 10. I used to have Windows 8.1 but it upgraded to 10 (I still kept my personal files)

-After the reinstall – same bullshit, except maybe somehow worse. Steam still can’t download Doom without getting interrupted by BSOD. BUT NOW I wanted to download Firefox from Microsoft Edge (the default browser) and twice in a row I got interrupted by a BSOD.

-I’ve used bluescreenview and event viewer to try and pinpoint any errors but I’ve gotten nowhere. There are fewer errors now on Event Viewer since the reinstall but the one common one is DCOM – I’ve already read though that it “shouldn’t” cause any BSODs and it’s more a minor inconvenience. I still tried to fix it but it got frustrating and the directions I followed didn’t work and at this point I want to murder somebody.

Is my PC hardware just screwed with something? Should I bother trying to reinstall Windows 10 again only this time have it erase my personal files? (It’s just going to be tedious allocating everything to external hard drive and USBs)

When I first got this PC from newegg (first time I bought a PC online) I did get some BSODs but they stopped after I told the computer to perform optional updates. It wasn’t until around after I installed Windows 10 that the errors come up again in full force. There was a whole ordeal with the USB drivers suddenly stopping sporadically – now that issue mysteriously never happens again but this downloading issue persists. So I don’t know if this is a hardware issue or Windows 10 just cocking it up.
