Hi guys, so i was playing Fortnite, and then i wanted to go to search for some music or whatever and it was really laggy like i opened windows search bar and it opened like 3 seconds ago,
and sometimes it gets that laggy it will shutdown without windows shotdown screen so i suppose that's hardware problem, i have already updated BIOS, cleaned my pc, stressed CPU, temps were good,
Specs:
MSI MPG x570 Gaming Edge Wifi
2x8 DDR4 rams
RX470 4GB
R5 1600 not overclocked, stock cooler
FSP 600W 50ARN

Attempt to remove one stick of RAM sequentially to determine if shutdown stops; if unsuccessful, try the other stick. Observe any changes.

I played for about three hours, but it felt slow, haha. My 8GB was way too low for Fortnite and other apps behind me.

Played for another two and a half hours with no progress, and it's not lagging even when streaming YouTube in Full HD.
