The PC freezing unexpectedly worsens over time...
Your computer previously would freeze occasionally, but now it disconnects from the internet randomly, sometimes together with freezing. Recently things got worse—screen issues appeared, and you noticed strange sounds when using a headset and Event Viewer showed events related to Event 14. Everything returned to normal afterward.
Many people have shared similar experiences. You tried updating BIOS, resetting the PC twice, running antivirus scans, performing an SFC check, and even sending it for repair. However, RAM and graphics card tests still revealed problems.
Given these repeated failures, it seems a new build might be the best option. I’m considering using parts from your existing system to create a new machine, but I need guidance on which components are safe to use so I don’t waste too much money. Also, remember there was a time your case fan stopped working suddenly—this adds another layer of concern.
I’m trying to get a better PSU first—it might still work for a new build later. What you can keep is hard to say since we don’t know exactly what’s wrong right now. Probably the GPU would be safe, and that makes sense because it’s easier to swap out later.
