Hey there! I’m facing a tough issue that’s been bothering me for a while, and it’s really affecting my budget. A few months back, I purchased a PC from ComputerCanada, which they assembled for me. It worked fine for about three weeks until random reboots and freezes started happening. No BSOD or error messages showed up, but there were some WHEA warnings about CPU internal parity. I checked everything—updated drivers, BIOS, Intel ME—and still nothing. I looked into logs with HwInfo during crashes, but found no unusual values. I even reformatted Windows and tried changing the PSU, but the problem persisted. Recently, I replaced my motherboard at another shop, but it only caused more issues. Now I’m stuck, spending a lot of time and money, and experiencing repeated crashes. The only hints I have are: some CPU parity warnings appear in Event Viewer, with game behavior varying; there’s an odd noise from the SSD that reminds me of old HDDs; and when I swapped the PSU with a friend, my PC still wouldn’t boot. I’m worried about trying another part and think maybe it’s just bad luck with the hardware. Could anyone offer advice or suggestions? Is this something I should have avoided? Thanks in advance for your help!
