So the issues I am having consist of this. Most started three months ago, but have worsened the last few day to where it is affecting my work. This is the third pc I have built, and the last I ever will because it has been the biggest headache of my life.
1. Computer won't turn off. If I place it in sleep mode or try to power it down, it just turns itself back on. I call it my demon computer because sometimes when I flip the power switch and even unplug it(Because that is the only way to turn it off) all previous applications are still open when I turn it back on. MS Word is on the page I left it on, steam still has the same game's page open, the last email I read is still open, and so on.
2. All games have low frame rates and even playing on the lowest setting does nothing. Even older games like skyrim, dishonored, and a anno game from 2009. I even launched minecraft to see what it would do, which wasn't much. I ended up with a mixture between 30fps that would randomly jump to 300, then back to 50, and so on. Everything is up to date too, and my nivida settings are where they should be.
3.Optical audio port on the motherboard does not work well. Any sound from it will pop and go out often. Not really a big deal, but now I feel like it could be related to the other issues
4. Office apps have started crashing, both when opening and saving. I've lost hours of work because of this. The auto-save function only works sometimes, and there's not much I can do when hitting save causes me to lose all of my work.
5. Sometimes lag and short freezing during everyday tasks. Google, opening apps, email, trying to open the file folder, etc.
I've booted in safe mode and the lag was still there, and my virus protection found nothing. All drivers and software is up to date
Specs-
i7 6700k @ 4.00ghz
16 GB corsair vengeance 8x2 ram
Gigabyte Nivida Geforce gtx 1080
Corsair CX Series, CX750, (750W) 80+ Bronze Certified
Samsung evo 750 128gb (operating system, ms office, virus protection, other important software)
Samsung evo 850 500gb (Just for games and steam) Purchased 9/5/15, only part I did not replace from my 'old' computer
2tb hard drive that servers no purpose aside from storing photos
Corsair Hydro Series H100i v2
I run both webroot and malwarebytes
I build another PC at the same time as this one, similar specs, and it works perfectly. When I built my first pc two years ago, having no idea what I was doing, I had no issues then either. I would be grateful for any suggestions on what is happening and if there is anything I can do. I've wasted so much money already on brand new bad parts for this computer.
I've replaced almost every part in this pc at least twice! Four motherboards, 4 sticks of ram, 1 ssd, 2 GPUS, and two psus later I thought I had a working computer... But, alas, I don't. So I've given up on figuring out the issues on my own. I suspected the psu for some time, but now it seems like other issues are at play.
I rebuilt my computer last October, The only reason I did so was when I tried to install a GPU and the clip holding the gpu in the slot just fell out. I ended up replacing every ddr3 part for newer ddr4, which is where all of this started. All the MSI boards I tried were terrible. They suffered from the issue of only working with one stick of ram. It didn't help that 2 of the 4 sticks were bad, which made it harder to tell what the issue was. I ended up taking my computer to a gaming pc store, and they were able to get the third MSI board 'working'. But to do so it took two computers. Of course, after I got the computer back, all my SATA ports stopped working two days later, so I just gave up on MSI and switched to gigabyte. During that a SSD (windows decided to lock it) and a psu were replaced too.
