Many months ago my PC started to freeze and reboot randomly, it was slow and I had to plug it off because it didn’t respond. The red light it has that says (HDD) stayed off when these freezes happened, so I assumed it was my ssd or my hdd failing. A week ago I bought a new SSD and unplugged the HDD I had.
Now I have many weird errors. The computer takes forever to start, turn off or restart (about 20 min). The file explorer doesn’t refresh automatically, sometimes the cpu and the ssd go to 100% usage, words appear cut and disorganised, in all programs and files. Some games don’t start and appear as “Not responding” in the Task Manager. Other times the screen goes completely black and I can only see and move my mouse.
I tried installing a new OS but it didn’t work, updated all drivers, cleaned the computer with compressed air... And the same problems remain. I think it might be some hardware component that got too hot during summer and started failing, but I can’t afford to buy a new CPU or motherboard just to test which one it might be. My GPU seems to work fine with the games that do open, and a few times all problems disappear after a reboot but start again the next day, what could this be?
Specs:
OS: Windows 10 Pro
CPU: AMD FX 8350 4GHz
GPU: r9 280x
SSD: Samsung EVO 860 500Gb
Motherboard: ASRock 990FX Extreme3
RAM: 8x2Gb Kingstone HyperX
