Yesterday my computer became very slow when idle, stopped responding, and any applications wouldn't launch. I couldn't turn it off or restart, so I had to power it down by pressing the power button. After a few hours, the same problem returned but without lag. I could close apps but not open them, and again I had no choice but to shut it down. I ran some tests with Cinebench and Cyberpunk 2077, found nothing out of the ordinary. I removed the latest Windows update, checked my drivers, and scanned for corrupt files, but still got no results. Later, when I opened YouTube on Chrome, the issue repeated. I’m not sure what’s causing this, as it’s the first time this has happened.

Open Task Manager, check performance metrics to identify potential issues during the problem.

Determine if it's a 2x8GB unit or two 1x8GB units, along with the PSU details and its total runtime.

2x8 from G.Skill also applies. My PSU is a MWE 650W Bronze, and I run my PC for about 3 to 6 hours each day.

the power supply's overall time of use is measured similarly to its lifespan, not daily usage. Most units in the MWE series are of mid-low quality, and after prolonged use they tend to develop problems similar to those observed now.

It seems like you're referring to a period of one year and one month, but the context isn't clear. Could you clarify what you mean by "if so"?
