Download CPU/GPU-Z, HWMonitr, Afterburner, or any hardware monitoring program and post the temps for your CPU and GPU idle and during a gaming sesison.

Depends on how paranoid you are using a Russian product. Russia tends to want to be intrusive on thier bussinesses and reports came out years ago that Kaspersky was in cahoots with the Russian Federal Security Service to scan peoples computers, which Kaspersky denies. I think Kaspersky is safe...

I agree with Phaaze, contact Arctic support. They may get you a replacement and that will be your answer on whether its a cooler issue. Aerocool PSU are decent so it may not be that, but to Phaaze's point, if the cooler gets replaced and is not the issue you could try buying another PSU to test.

I know you mentioned drivers but that still seems like the most logical cause to me. Alternativly you could try saving your files and reinstalling Windows, then updating the chipset and GPU drivers from the manufacturer then use windows updater.

Have you tried a different monitor or hooking it up to a TV to get it to show? I know you said it does not boot into the BIOS, have you tried booting to BIOS with just the motherboard HDMI connection, if so try with a different monitor.

Yea that seems off, have you tried checking for updated drivers or reinstalling them for the CPU and GPU? What are temps of the GPU and CPU running at?

What internet speeds from the ISP are you paying for? Also, what is the router you are using?

Could be a monitor issue, do you have access to another monitor to test if the issue persists? I have a monitor that the display is "dying" and sometimes I get a black screen and Ihave to activily switch to HDMI then back to Display Port for it to display correctly.

Have you tried resetting Windows or performing another clean install and updating all drivers? If I believe correctly this seems to be an OS issue. Is this a new PC? Is the current clean install a product of you trying to troubleshoot the issue?

You have a couple options for installing Windows, which would require most likely going into the BIOS and setting the boot option. You can either load Windows installer from USB or via the disc drive. https://www.howtogeek.com/197559/how-to-install-windows-10-on-your-pc/

Could just be a discord issue. I play League of Legends with a few guys faily often and we all joke about being DDoS'd when the match ends as we cant talk to each other for a few seconds.

Anything showing unknown or with the yellow triangle in device manager?

Explain what steps you are doing to "exit the desktop". Are you hitting ALT+F4 and selecting "sign out" or are you signing out from the start menu? I agree with CJ, if you are wanting to turn the PC off when you are done, just shut down from the start menu.

I know they changed how accessing certain menus and features in Windows 11 worked. Like the context menu when right clicking and having to click "more options" to view what you would normally view in Windows 10. Depending on how annoying it is you could always see if there is a registry edit...

If it resolves the issue or you do not plan on using the adapter then I would remove it.
