Good Timezone everyone.

First off the Specs to make it easier for everyone:
CPU: Ryzen 7 7800x3D
GPU: RTX 4070
MB: Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX (BIOS version FCd - latest)
SSD: 970 EVO PLUS M.2 SAM TB (OS partition - PCIe 3.0 x 4 Nvme 1.2)
SSD 2nd Slot: WD_BLACK SN750 SE 1TB ( Gaming Partition PCIe PCIe 4.0x4 Nvme 1.3)
RAM: D532GB 6000-30 Vengeance RGB bk K2 COR
PSU: Tf Toughpower GF3 1000W

Temps are normal for both CPU and GPU, gaming seems to be no issue.
EXPO1 was enabled by default by the vendor I configurated my system (they also assembled the components and performed a stresstest)

The Red LED is on until the Windows Logo appears.
The LED stays on while in BIOS.

Around 30 minutes ago my pc acted weird, could not see my mouse cursos anymore unless I pressed the Win key and then only in side that window (searchbar etc)
Pressed the reset/reboot button, all fans, lights etc were on but the monitor was Black, the Red Light on.

If I missed any Information please do tell and I will provide.

Best regards.
 
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Your motherboard's PCB version is 1.3, correct? Just asking since there are two PCB version listed on Gigabyte's support site(1.0~1.2 + 1.3).

Reads to me like your OS might be corrupt. I would reinsall the OS after recreating the bootable USB installer and then installing the OS in offline mode. As a prerequisite, I'd download all necessary drivers for the platform and then have them handy on a removeable drive(separate from your bootable USB installer) and then install all relevant drivers in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator.

^ The reason I could identify this specific MB is the BIOS version which is the latest installed on mine.

That and a Screenshot of my CPU-Z is all I have.

Feel free to lock/delete the thread, if no one else has an idea/any further input.
I'll be communicating with the vendor's support service which'll take longer but it is at least something solution oriented as well.

My best regards.
 
Now I am getting lots of random BSODs mostly page file and memory manangement.
Looked it up and bunch of people had that issue.
For now it works but every boot up is like russian roulette.

Might be hardware related since BIOS froze

Checked the wiring of my hardware today, reseated gpu, ram checked cables pins etc, for now it works.

Also noticed that all that happened after an windows update yday and plugging in my LAN cable is the trigger
