Because I was extremely occupied at work, I missed out on buying anything during the big prime day sales. Should I hold off for better deals or is it better to purchase now?
I'm planning to assemble a 4K gaming setup. I need a 7800X 3D to match a 7900 XTX with an ASRock X670 Steel Legend motherboard, plus a 4K monitor. Yesterday I noticed the 7900 XTX price rose from $906 to $962 when I returned from work. I'm returning my current PC parts since I've faced several problems, but I still need a computer. I can't wait too long without one, so what do you think about my options?
Where do you shop and what is your budget? What is the use case?
I've noticed consistent stability issues with the BIOS, including BSODs during a Windows reinstall. Before installing, I'd turn off XMP in BIOS, which causes the screen to freeze and forces me to hold the power button on my PC case. Additionally, after connecting my new GPU to an old motherboard in an older PC build, I encountered problems. I initially thought only the GPU was damaged, but it seems the motherboard might also be affected. When removing the new GPU from my current PC, I experienced similar graphical glitches and frame rate drops that I had before installing it on my old system. I suspect the old motherboard could have been damaged during cleaning with compressed air, possibly leaving behind liquid residue that caused harm. Although I'm not sure if this is too coincidental, I believe the damage might extend to my new graphics card, leading to the issues I'm seeing now. My current specs are: CPU Ryzen 5 7600X, cooler Thermalrite Peerless Assassin 120 SE, motherboard MSI B650M-A Wifi, 32 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5 RAM, SSD SAMSUNG 980 PRO and Team Group T-Force Vulcan 500 GB, GPU SAPPHIRE PULSE 6700 XT, PSU CORSAIR RM750x, chassis Corsair 4000D air flow, running Windows 10 on a Dell 144 Hz gaming monitor.
It seems like you're looking for advice on troubleshooting a system that's too perfect. You should check Event Viewer and Reliability History for clues, and verify if the RAM is properly installed on the motherboard. Also, consider running stability tests.
The video provides a clear demonstration of what appears when I press event viewer and reliability history. The linked article explains repairing corrupted Windows system files using SFC and DISM commands, and it offers guidance on stability tests for RAM compatibility.

You might also consider the built-in memory test in Windows, though I’m not sure it offers complete protection for a solid outcome.
I don’t know of any problems with How to Geek. If you search different sources, they all suggest using the same method from an elevated CMD window.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience. The default window doesn't display clearly, and switching to full screen only worsens the blurriness. I can't provide any advice on that issue.
In Event Viewer, check the Summary of Admin Events tabs for Critical and Error entries. Remember, Event 41 will be recorded whenever you power off the system in ways other than a normal shutdown, like holding the power button for too long or encountering a crash.
