It might be the graphics card, but checking it could be a bit challenging...
I also looked into the CPU core temperatures, although I’ll check the VRM MOS temps next. Thanks! I usually keep my SSD in the most available space because I only have Windows and a few apps installed. My 1TB HDD typically has about 100-200GB free, depending on what I’m doing. I ran anti-malware several times and swapped my HDD and SSD once.
I was curious to see if a different GPU would cause issues, but right now I can't test that easily because of the pandemic. I used an older Sapphire HD 7770 with 1GB of RAM at home. It wasn’t a bad card, but it stopped working completely. I’m not sure what failed, but no matter which system it’s on—my PC or my mom’s—it just doesn’t display anything and keeps restarting endlessly.
