Random PC Issues
Random PC Issues
My PC is about 4.5 years old now. CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X CPU cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix X570-E Gaming Ram: Crucial Ballistix RGB 16gb (2x8) DDR4-3600 SSD/HDD: Samsung 970 Evo SSD 1TB M.2 NVMe (primary), Samsung 860 EVO 1TB, and OCZ Vertex 4 GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 PSU: Seasonic FOCUS GX-650W 80+ Gold (purchased new 12-2020) Chassis: Cooler Master H500 ARBG Airflow ATX Mid-Tower OS: Windows 10 Monitor: Dell S2721DGF Bios Version: American Megatrends Inc. 3001, 12/4/2020 Recently, I have been having some random intermittent issues. First, my monitor one day stopped recognizing a source when connected to my PC. Sometimes reboot would fix it, sometimes changing the cable port on the gpu fixed it, sometimes i had to unplug from power or unplug the monitor. Second, my network started to randomly disconnect. Then I saw in the device manager that the PC was detecting issues with the ethernet device. At first, disabling/reenabling fixed it. But then it happened again. I followed some steps to flush something in the command prompt that required a reboot (sorry, I don't recall the exact steps to describe here off the top of my head). This seemed to have resolved the ethernet issues, and since then the monitor just has only acted up once. Now the third issues that has started after the first two issues seem to have resolved, while playing a video game (doesnt matter what - COD, MTG Arena, etc) my computer will suddenly drop FPS, become very slow and sluggish and choppy. Even if I tab to windows, everything is slow/choppy. The first time it locked up completely. The second time it self corrected but then my microphone completely cut out (which I'm currently in the process of troubleshooting). In the past month or so, I first monitor issue happened a handful of times - maybe 10-15. Some days it doesnt occur at all, others it might happen a few times? The second ethernet issue only happened the two times, same day, and seems totally resolved after the fix. The third issue with massive slow down/stuttering, happened two or three times throughout the past month. Otherwise, it seems stable most of the time. Runs great still otherwise. Since these have all occurred in relative close succession to each other, it makes me wonder maybe they are somehow connected to a deeper issue. Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be if these are all symptoms of something bigger or something that could cause these seemingly separate issues? Maybe it's just a coincidence.
My computer is roughly 5 years old now. Here are my parts so far: Mobo: ASUS ROG Strix X570-E Gaming CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Memory: Crucial Ballistix RGB 16gb (2x8) DDR4-3600 To start a fix-up post, it is okay to list all of your details. Please tell me these things like this: CPU: CPU cooler: Motherboard: Ram: SSD/HDD: GPU: PSU: Chassis: OS: Monitor: Also please add when the power supply died apart from its make and model name. And put down the BIOS version right now for your board at this moment of time.
