USB issues, graphics pixel problems, and other concerns :/
Hello everyone, a few of you might recognize this text but I missed adding an important issue. I’ve faced the same recurring challenge for quite some time now. The main concern is that my PC’s graphics are consistently malfunctioning. When I play videos in fullscreen or switch between devices, I see small black pixel patterns. While gaming, there’s occasional black flickering in the upper part of the screen. When I pause a stream on Twitch on one monitor and watch a YouTube video on another, the paused stream sometimes appears over the video or vice versa. I also encounter problems with my USB ports, which intermittently stop working until I reinsert the device. This isn’t limited to one device—it affects many. Some might say it’s clear the graphics card is faulty, but about half a year ago I cleaned my PC and accidentally pulled out the processor while removing the cooler, leaving me unsure what’s causing these issues. I really don’t want to waste 1300 euros on a new motherboard, CPU, or GPU. So I’m trying to focus on upgrading just one component: a Ryzen 9 3900x with an RTX 3070 TUF, X570, 32GB DDR4, 3200Mhz, and a 1 TB M.2 SSD.
