My PC keeps acting up in weird ways; sometimes the USB ports suddenly stop working, making music crackle or cut off while streaming video, and sometimes the RGB lights on my keyboard flash for a second before going dark. I can't log out of Windows 11 anymore, and I even lose some drive ports so I'm forced to restart the whole system hoping it will fix itself. My computer has an Intel chip from five years ago running an older BIOS version, but I bought a new CPU last year that's supposed to be better. I have plenty of RAM (64 gigs) and a few solid drives, though one is marked as disabled in Device Manager even though it's physically removed from the case. The hard drive used for about nine years was from 2023, which makes me think something wrong might be inside. Recently, after installing a new SSD to replace my old one, everything started crashing again. Now, sometimes the PC just won't stay on for five minutes without stopping, showing no black screen but lots of stuttering and dropping WiFi or keyboard connections. I also have a gaming mouse that stays connected fine via daisy chain, but the computer still fails sometimes when it turns off. My tech support team suggested it might be an issue with my motherboard because the Intel chip seems to cause too many errors, even though other software checks didn't find anything wrong. I feel like I'm completely stuck and don't know what to do anymore.

Hi there! You got 64 gigs of Corsair XMP ram, but it's not on the support list for your Carraras setup. Do you have a link about that specific ram kit? Your system uses an Asrock Taichi Carrara with a x670e BIOS version 3.2. Maybe switching to BIOS version 3.16 could help fix the problem. Also, did you reinstall the operating system while offline (without cloning your drive)?

Some of the problems in Event Viewer are about drops like Error 5032 saying Killer WiFi Newtwt 14 can't be found or raidport1 not being found. But when I start Windows up, I get credential guard errors such as vbs key violation or lbs package errors while reliability monitor shows errors related to the programs stopping their function ability. Some of these are error 144 Livekernelevent

1) CMH64GX5M2B5200C40W This problem happened before I updated my BIOS. I don't think this will work but I'll try anyway just in case. 3) No, I was online when I started putting the OS on it. It's a completely different hard drive from the old one.

Here are my suggestions from @Lutfij while I watch for any error codes. Let's check if those error codes happen to end with a specific number. I am (full disclosure) a bit confused about "or raidport1 cannot be found" but when I start Windows up, I get credential guard errors like vbs key violation or lbs package errors. Also reliability monitor shows errors related to the programs stopping their function ability. For example error 144 Livekernelevent. So tell me what we can say about "raidport1", "credential guard errors", or "vbs key violation" etc. What kind of games, apps, or sources are involved? More information is needed.

The real errors only show up when the system crashes. Usually not right away; the system can run for about a minute before any of this starts happening. Credential Guard and Virtualization happen at startup and keep flagging, even though I turned off most things so there shouldn't be anything wrong anymore now.

Open the Task Scheduler and check it out.

It usually kicks in with Netwrtv 14. But I don't think the internet itself is making things break. The problem also shows up on Ethernet, where a bad driver can turn a working thing into something that won't work. What are we checking here?

That is a fair question. Anything called X that makes Y happen. This includes things like crediential guard, vbs (Visual Basic) or something specifically named "Netrwtw14". Other stuff in Task Scheduler that you don't know about or expect to see. By the way: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/window...-scheduler There might be nothing there... Which could help find the real culprit.

The computer feels so slow it won't respond, and turning off the power usually helps me get going again for a fresh start. But I really think the mother board is broken, even though nothing shows up on the event viewer when the PC freezes up.
