Sooooo I started having a problem that sometimes my computer just turns black, I can still hear everything and my friends can also hear me, after a while my friends stop hearing me but I can still hear them.
I have discovered that my computer crashes everytime I physically shake it, soooo I was thinking that maybe some components aren't well positioned... This is weird because everything was fine a week ago.
The gpu drivers are the most recent.

my specs:
Motherboard: B450 Gaming Plus Max (all the ram slots are populated)
CPU: Ryzen 9 5900X
GPU: Radeon RX 6800 XT
PSU: Corsair RM850x
Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE
Case: Kolink Inspire K7 ARGB

Shaking the computer gave you the clue. Inspect all connections. then shake it to see if problem persists. Wiggle the cables. then shake it to see if problem persists. Remove RAM and clean connections with a rubber eraser, then shake it to see if problem persists. Remove any other boards and clean the connections as before, then shake it to see if problem persists.

Do you often shake your computer? I see no reason for doing it.
If you have any mechanical drives in your pc, you may damage them.
Heavy cpu cooler can dislodge and create uneven pressure on cpu.
Heavy graphics card can bend and crack pcb or break PCIE slot.

Just stop doing that!
