Yes I did this. Apologies for the ambiguity, when I say that I went through all of the updates this is what I am referring to. I have absolutely no Windows updates still to download and install.
I haven't done anything to install any drivers other than for my GPU and the USB card.
I installed Windows, went through all of the updates, and installed the Nvidia drivers via geforce experience, and these USB card drivers via the manufacturers website. No other drivers have been touched...

Yes I am following the instructions from @ubuysa.
To be honest I did research when using the reset tool in Windows and it seemed that it should have been as good as a clean install but I must have been misinformed.
It's not overclocked to anything, it's just that XMP is enabled so that the full speed can be made use of. The mobo only supports 2400 by default. It was enabled on build not by me
Hello,
I purchased a pre-built PC from PCSpecialist and have had non stop issues with it. I have installed my own GPU, USB card and aftermarket CPU fan however the card was fine in my previous PC, the fan temperatures are not overly hot and the crashes were happening before I installed the USB...
