**If anyone else finds this and has the same issue. Replacing the M2 storage drive seems to have solved the issue** Hi all, So for the past few days my computer has had some odd issues. On Wednsday my computer shut it self off, no blue screen, and took a few minutes to get back on. It would power on, but wouldnt get past the ASUS logo. After a couple of attempts it would post in safe mode. Then I was able to enter the BIOS and select my Windows drive and boot with no issues. Then I had no issues for a couple of days... Fast forward to Saturday morning and my computer is on for a couple of minutes ant it shuts off. I get it to power back on and it turns off again. It does this a couple of times and eventually it turns on (after 4-5 attempts). I now try and update the BIOS in hopes of solving the issue. But unfortunatly this didn't help. My computer specs: MB : Asus ROG Strix X570-F S-AM4 CPU : AMD Ryzen 7 3800X GPU : GeForce RTX 2070 Super RAM : Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200MHz 2x16gb PSU : Corsair RM850i HD : Corsair MP510 + Some random 4tb storage beast from WD Cooler : Noctua NH-U12S OS : Windows 10 64bit This is what I have tried to far: - Running one stick of RAM. Issue still persisted. Tried both sticks seperatly obviously, but no luck. - Reinstalling the OS. Didn't change anything. I wasn't hoping for much here, but gotta try. - Running just one HD. Only M2 disk which holds the OS. Issue still persisted. - Swapped to another M2 slot on the MB. Issue still persisted. Some observations I have made before the PC crashes: - Programs may close at random a minute or two before the PC crashes. Discord for example will shut down and maybe reopen. Then PC crashes a minute later. - PC will sometimes freeze for 30-40 seconds before it shuts off. - At first I didnt get any bluescreens. Now I do, but they don't really tell me anything helpful. I have ran the Windows memory tester and it says PC has a memory issue. However it doesn't specify wether or not its the RAM or VRAM or whatever? Should I just replace the RAM? Or could the HD or motherboard be the issue? Thank you in advance, everyone!

I just received this notification while playing World of Warcraft. Does this indicate a problem with your RAM?

Have you tried adjusting the slots? Running a memtest?

Changed the slot but still facing the problem. Didn’t try memory testing since I can’t locate a USB drive. Will purchase one and check it out tomorrow.

My reasoning suggests it's improbable that all four slots are defective. Still, how likely is it for both components to fail simultaneously? :x

I shared the same concern, which is why I worry it could be the CPU causing issues.
