Hello everyone,
I am dealing with some critical issues on my machine and its frustrating because I work on this computer as well.
I upgraded from an amd rx 550 card (no power supply connector, only powered through the PSI slot) to a
Gigabyte 1060 6gb (8 pin connector) as well as added
8 gb 1333 ddr3 ram to my 8 (16gb total, all matching brand)
Now I am having issues with random freezes and crashes :/ Doesn't even happen in games really, mostly when Im browsing or watching youtube/twitch
So far I have tried:
Reset Windows (1903 update)(1903 possibly the issue??)
Ran Windows Memory Diagnostic (No issues)
Installed different Nvidia drivers with DDU (436.30, 436.15, & studio ready 431.86)
Re seating GPU & Ram (maybe slots are dirty tho?)
I believe the issue is the GPU, RAM, or PSU. I am not sure how to test further to figure out the culprit. I would like to be sure what the issue is or mostly sure before I go replacing parts. Or before I get a refund for the 1060. Wondering if there's a way to monitor my 12v rail? Maybe I should Try the GPU with 6 pin instead of 8? Or way to see exactly why windows is crashing? Also a better way to test the RAM then windows diag? or any other methods or ideas you guys think will help
Thanks in advance!!
