What are your temps at?

In my experience I've had a failing hard drive and SSD in my system and it would cause all kinds weird stuff to happen. Try unplugging your HDD and see if that makes a difference. You can try a new SSD if the HDD wasn't the issue. Also, what are your temps?

First question, why do you have a USB ethernet adapter when you have an ethernet port on your computer already? This doesn't make sense.

What modem do you have?

Where is it till showing that it’s 2133? Because the bios home page will still show 2133 but if you have xmp enabled to 3600 it will only show that on the xmp settings. Download CPUZ and look at the ram frequencies.

If you have a stand-off underneath the motherboard that isn’t lined up with the screw holes on the mobo that that metal contact touching the mobo will short the board.

I agree with what DS is saying about the work station GPU.

Make sure you don’t have any standoffs under short circuiting your mobo. Does it POST?

Do you plan on using the CD/Disk drive? If you can fit a small SSD like a 120gb into your budget. Do it. You don’t want a hard drive for your OS. The i9 is a powerhouse and especially if you are gaming, you’ll want to get a better CPU cooler. $176 for 2666mhz ram?? You can find the same ram...

Typically you don’t want to mix different ram types and speeds. Can cause more issues than not in some cases. That being said, your mobo has a max supported speed of 2400mhz. So, yes you can get the 2666mhz but you’ll have to underclock it to 2400mhz if it doesn’t do it for you first.

If you get a SATA to USB adapter or something of the sort from Amazon, you’ll be able to plug in the hard drive to the working PC and view, move, and copy all the files you want from the corrupted windows drive. Before you go spending money, did you try booting into safe mode to see if that...

In most cases you won’t need to replace the thermal pads. Replace the thermal paste, clean out the dust and you’ll be good to go.

3080 will always be better and if you want to game in 4K later then you’ll be set. 3070 is the perfect sweet spot for 1440p gaming. All about your budget.

1. Edit your post title and description. You have them flipped. Looks a little crazy. 2. If you are going to spend the money for 2TB of NVME storage, don’t cheap out. You’ll thank yourself down the road. Go with name brands like Samsung, Crucial, WD.
