Hey guys, new here. I just got done building a new PC but I'm having some issues. A quick spec list of what I got:
GPU: RX 5700 XT
CPU: R7 3700x
Mobo: MSI B450 Tomahawk
PSU: 600W 80+ Bronze
RAM: 2x16gb Ripjaw
Storage: Intel 660p 1tb nvme 2.0 SSD memory
I have some fans and a 750w coming in the mail still though.
The PC boots up just fine, fastest I've ever seen a build boot matter of fact. But, a day or so after good use, the USB ports stop functioning, randomly. When I say "stop functioning" Let me specify; my wifi adapter turns itself off. Sometimes it turns itself back on, sometimes it restarts if I plug it back in the same port. If I unplug my mouse or keyboard, they most likely won't work again until I reboot my PC. Sometimes they do. I do have insurance on the board, so if it's just a dud new board I could have it swapped. But it seems like a driver issue. Maybe I need to flash the bios and update from USB. Should I try that?
Another thing is I ordered 3 noctua fans to help with the airflow in my case. Was that a wise investment? Or are 2 case fans + the components onboard fans / heatsinks enough? Just a random question I'll throw in there.
I appreciate the help. The USB inconsistency is the main annoyance
