Yes, I upgraded Motherboard and CPU and bought an M.2 drive

Both are AMD

No clean install of windows. Just swapped new hardware.

black screens and restarts happened after the swap, So it has to be something new.

I'm thinking about putting my old motherboard back in to see if my (New) motherboard is defective. So I can start a return

This is the Critical error I get whenever it restarts.

Did you open Device Manager to see if there is any yellow alerts of missing drivers?

Replace the new PS with the old PS
Try to do a Repair install (run windows installation setup.exe under running windows)

Sorry, difficult to remember all posts when you have more than 100.

Just wanted to update you guys and say I believe a fresh reset of everything fix it all

Now 5 days without any issues after I wiped my whole system. I returned my new PSU as well.

Glad it is working. What Matthew suggested way back - running something successfully for half an hour from booted usb e.g. winpe or linux. That would have alerted you that the problem was not hardware - but the installed os.

Creating a WinPE or Linux USB device is much simpler than doing hardware tests.
Such a device will also be useful in the future.
