I often play games like Rocket League, Cities: Skylines, Minecraft and CS:GO. My keyboard, mouse, and controller sometimes stop working, then my PSU makes a loud noise like an AK-47. Over the past two weeks it has crashed 67 times. The system reports a Pfn: list corrupt. I've tried everything—updated drivers, changed GPU, different RAM, new motherboard, etc.—but nothing helps. My hardware includes an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G, an Asus ROG Strix B450, a gaming GPU, a broken RAM slot, Crucial Ballistix memory, a Gigabyte RTX 3060 Ti, an NVMe SSD, a Windows 10 laptop, and various RGB peripherals from Corsair and other brands.

Is this the sole faulty slot? Have you recently performed a memory check? What have you actually attempted?

I've attempted to use ddu for installing new display and wifi drivers. A memory diagnostic mode confirmed everything was okay. Windows updates and driver updates were applied, along with a different keyboard and mouse. My system is an old AMD R9 270 XFX GPU. I've replaced the CPU, GPU, and RAM, ensuring all cables are secure. I've tried Windows data recovery tools to look for corrupted files and even disconnected all RGB cables in hopes of relieving PSU strain, but results remain unchanged.

B2 is the sole faulty port. One time my computer refused to power on, so I looked at the monitor connections, PSU cables, data cables. I tried a RAM stick in slot A1, then checked all slots and RAM sticks. The issue appeared only when dual channel mode was active (A2 and B2).
