I've been using this setup for nearly a year now. The CPU is a Ryzen 7 5700X3D, paired with a 3070ti GPU and a Gigabyte B550 Gaming X V2 motherboard. The PSU is a Gigabyte UD1000GM 1000W 80 Plus Gold, and I have a Corsair vengeance RGB cooler. The system runs on a Gigabyte UD1000GM 80 Plus Platinum 4GB RAM (4x8GB). Recently, after booting up for 5 to 15 minutes, the PC becomes extremely slow—audio and graphics lag significantly. After a few seconds, both monitors go black, then the system restarts because of fan noise. However, repeating this process 1–3 times fixes it until I shut down Windows. If this were a hardware fault, it shouldn’t reset itself. In EventView, I see two key warnings: Secure boot keys and Display Drivers. I’m not sure if these are software problems or unusual hardware issues.

Did you handle the routine troubleshooting for BIOS updates, video card drivers, and chipset software? Running four drives might pose a significant challenge for your CPU’s memory controller if it’s too slow. Consider disabling XMP/EXPO and see if the issue persists to help pinpoint the problem. Also, since installing Windows no longer requires such effort, reformatting and reinstalling from scratch can sometimes resolve issues. Always back up your data and use a fast USB drive to improve speed.
