I'm a little bit at my wit's end and don't know where to turn exactly before throwing this thing out the window, so here I am ready to ask questions while providing more detail than necessary to help paint the picture.
I built this tower part-for-part in 2016 roughly: Intel i7-6800K, Asus X99-AII mobo, GTX 1070, 32GB RAM 2444 MHz, Zalman H1 case, Corsair CX850M PSU. a few WD Black drives of varying sizes, 2 Samsung 850 EVO 1TB's. I do audio work mainly with some video on the side, and gaming is a distant 2nd. In October 2018, the GPU was louder than normal one night, and I shut it off thinking "safe" but the following day, the GTX 1070 blew a fireball in a friends' face and the electrical sizzle sound right after was a sign everything was toast.
2 months later, I bought a Ryzen 5 2600 with an MSI X470 board (gaming plus). RMA'd my GPU 3 times with EVGA. Replaced all 24TB of lost storage with bare essential to get back to basic work. Replaced CX850M with EVGA 850 GQ. Replaced old RAM with 2x16 Corsair Vengeance 2666 GHz. But with the case, I've lost both USB 3.0 ports and both the USB 2.0 ports function with lesser things (gaming controllers, external HDD reading vs. writing/transferring to another drive).
I've gone through more than a year and a half almost now with this, including upgrading to Ryzen 9 3900. And here I am...
During my typical operation of Windows 10, at random, either my dual screen setup will start to flicker for a couple seconds and revert to single display on my smaller screen (via DisplayPort adapter with HDMI, not the standard HDMI port), sometimes my screens just go completely black with a flashing mouse, sometimes I get automatically logged out of Windows 10 and can't log back in without a restart, or the login screen flickers as well. Often I am encountering BSoD's on levels I've NEVER had them (a few days this year, had 10 in one day somehow). After a reboot (soft or hard), usually those problems are non-existent and everything's as if no problems exist but only for awhile.
When doing other things like video editing, my GPU and CPU both start to get loud (like a jet engine taking off). The worst this build has ever been was Rainbow Six Siege, where it sounded louder than a jet engine and vibrated my entire room.
I am losing my mind quite a bit at this, which is also preventing me from work (which is also losing me some money and job offers) and I don't know how else to really even explain this, but this is as best a representation of what's been going on. I'd like to honestly stay on Windows 10 for now as most of my work is done on it, though I'd also enjoy getting a Mac one day. I can sometimes go a day or two without a single BSoD with luck.
Anyone have theories on what is possibly causing all of this? I cannot afford to take any more losses here with all the good stuff that started for me this year.
