    Question Windows eventually stops recognizing drives

    Good evening. I apologize for not responding sooner, I decided to give the solution you provided a few days before my next reply. I thought I had the "RAM running at faster-than-supported speeds" thing sorted but apparently not. Whoops! Unfortunately the issue I've been describing persists...

    Major PC performance decline.

    Not too sure then. Do you have the latest drivers? Try running www.userbenchmark.com and post the results here Do a virus scan, you might have a virus and try doing a system restore to a previous version. You might've downloaded something that's messing with your rig. I'm honestly not too sure...

    Computer Randomly Restarts. Is it PSU or CPU?

    Major PC performance decline.
