    Question PC crashing when installing 4090

    I know it's possible but... 2 motherboards with the exact identical issue? I won't dismiss the possibility, but I have a gut feeling that it's something else entirely. I am at my wit's end honestly. Contemplating returning everything and buying a pre-built, and to hell with all the hassle.
