Use a single stick at a time. Remove any overclocking from RAM or CPU if present.
I just tested it! The same issue kept happening each time... Oh, the CPU or RAM never got overclocked.
Try removing one component at a time to identify the cause. It's often the final step before trouble appears. Check if your fans are operating normally—especially the graphics card and CPU fans. They may not shut off completely but slow down significantly when overheating. Consider memory issues by consulting the motherboard site for compatible options and testing with cheaper RAM. Swap the power supply to rule that out, and inspect the graphics card if needed. These steps should help pinpoint the problem.
I appreciate your message. The situation sounds confusing. I haven't done anything unusual myself. I use the computer every day without making any changes. I recall watching a movie on one screen while the other was updating itself every 10 seconds. When I checked the task manager, it showed increased disk and CPU usage regularly. After restarting, I noticed some websites became unavailable while others worked normally. I ran scans but found nothing. They suggested reinstalling Windows, which I did. However, the issue continued. It seems to occur even when the system starts up quickly, especially in warmer conditions. I can use it for long hours with heavy tasks like video editing without problems. Sometimes downloading files causes crashes. This makes me think the problem might be related to power supply or hardware stability. I’m not sure about memory issues since testing was error-free. I’m unsure what to do next—should I consider replacing the board?
I wasn’t aware of everything before things changed. You didn’t mention checking for updates on all your hardware and software, including any newer motherboard drivers. If you’re planning to swap the motherboard, maybe try looking for a BIOS update first—though it can be risky if you replace it anyway. I’ve heard that BIOS updates aren’t always safe, especially when replacing components. It’s possible the issue is intermittent, which can complicate troubleshooting, particularly for those without a background in PC repairs. (It works sometimes and then doesn’t.) From what you described, it sounds like your system has been running for a while. You didn’t set it up just a few weeks ago. I’d really appreciate it if you could share more details so I can understand what happened and help you further.
