System experiencing failure with a black display and USB devices shutting down
My PC experienced random crashes recently. The symptoms were: black screen without a lost signal message, USB devices like the keyboard and mouse shutting down, and audio that would loop for a brief moment before stopping. Fans would reach maximum speed for about a second before returning to normal. The computer kept running, and the power button on my case still displayed the white "on" light.

Current BIOS info for your motherboard.
RAM details: One 16GB 2666MHz DDR4 unit from HyperX, kept from an Intel build.
Which RAM slot is being used on the motherboard?
Tests with DirectX11 showed no crashes on my PC. DirectX12 caused failures. Some DX12 games also affected my system. The issues aren't consistent every time; sometimes it runs smoothly for hours, other times it crashes quickly. I plan to try more tests to see if DX11 remains stable, as I'm still unsure whether the problem is random or real.
