System appears to be failing unexpectedly.
I believe faulty RAM might be the cause. Each problem would probably stem from a distinct problem. Try using Ventoy or Rufus to install Memtest86 on a USB drive and boot from it (pressing F10 before POST lets you select the device). Run the test at least twice. It’ll take a long time. If any errors appear, swap the RAM. You can check one drive at a time, but replacing both might be necessary for consistency.
I need to run memtest tonight and check it out. I was expecting the issue to be with my RAM since it's costly, but I have GSKill which gives me confidence it's covered for life. Also, it crashes randomly after things like opening a link, a program, a game, or even just when it starts, which makes sense.
You can reduce the cost by cutting RAM, which is helpful. I’m now curious whether the problem lies in hardware or software. A good test would be to run a Linux installation on a USB drive and check if the same behavior appears—if it does, the issue probably stems from hardware. If not, a fresh Windows setup might be better.
Overheating at the wrong moment can damage almost anything—but usually the system detects the heat and stops before serious harm occurs. I'm not sure, though; we still have around three or four options to explore before we run out of ideas. Have you checked if the GPU is benchmarking? Try running furmark to see if similar problems appear while it runs that program.
It seems the system freezes every time you restart, making it impossible to download or run benchmarks. At first it worked, but now it’s much harder and eventually stops even for basic tasks.
I believe I might have identified at least one issue, possibly the primary one.
