Original Poster I’m really stuck. After trying everything, I’m still facing these strange power issues. I’ve been experiencing random screen blackouts, devices cutting out while my PC stays on, but it doesn’t fully shut down—it just freezes. Over time, I noticed certain triggers: sitting at my desk, plugging something into the same outlet, or even touching my monitor with a finger causes it to stall. I’ve tried swapping out the PSU, GPU, CPU, RAM, and cables, even moving monitors to a different surge protector. I’ve also updated drivers and done a clean install of Windows. Still nothing works. I’ve ruled out the monitor cord and SSD as likely causes. Now I’m thinking it might be a grounding problem. I’ve shared everything and still can’t fix it. The only thing left is to throw in my SSD and give up. This is frustrating beyond belief. If anyone has any thoughts or similar experiences, please let me know. I’m considering selling the whole thing. Thanks for your help.
