Hey everyone, my computer has run smoothly for nearly a year until two days ago it suddenly stopped while I was watching a video. After restarting, it freezes shortly after launching any program, especially when I open the operating system. It freezes on the loading screen with the logo and during recovery steps, and sometimes it won’t start at all. The CPU debug LED lights up indicating a problem, and I’ve seen two BSODs—uncorrectable error and machine check exception. Occasionally, the OS freezes just by switching the Ethernet cable or USB drive in and out. I tried disassembling everything and reassembling it, but the issue remains. The RAM LEDs also showed faults at times. I attempted a BIOS update, but it didn’t recognize the files and now I can’t even reach the BIOS; the computer won’t start and the CPU LED is on. My specs are: Intel i5-10400F, MSI H510 pro wifi board, 16GB XPG RAM, 450W PSU, Nvidia 1050ti, Windows 10 64-bit. What’s going on? Is it the CPU or the motherboard, or something else?
