....While playing a game, I suddenly experienced a rapid loss of functionality, the screen froze and it seems that most other non-game related programs were affected too. Difficulty to login for one, and even when I was able to login, the connection seemed shaky at best. If my computer were a human I would suspect that its blood pressure had dropped to critical. First I ran a speed test but my speeds were normal. I then thought that it may be a hardware issue. Now I'm thinking my SSD is failing. Or maybe my graphics, but I doubt it. Not wanting to spend money unnecessarily, I'm wondering if anyone knows how to test these things? I can't find anything on the web that has been useful. The two I've tried have only send back numbers that I do not understand but do not give me a diagnosis.
Thanks in advance....
