Hello everyone.
An hour ago while watching YouTube, my computer froze for a few seconds and then restarted. No other errors except Kernel 41 and Error 56 before it in the event viewer, WhoChrashed found nothing either. No BSOD. I ran system scan and it found some corrupted Windows files.
I had something similar happen once before but there was an error clearly indicating something about RAM. PC was even unable to boot with them and it turned out that one of the stick was not longer stable with XMP. So I bought new ones and they worked without any problem for a few months. In the meantime I replaced the power supply, case and the graphics card.
There were only two things that bothered me before. The first was yesterday when I downloaded some files form GitHub. When saving them to the disk, the computer froze for a while. The second was while uninstalling RGB Fusion. My RGB in the case and GPU totally bricked and I had to reinstall everything related to RGB to unbrick it. I also checked the disks in CrystalDiskInfo and it only showed a 68% health status on one of them. The rest of the parameters looked fine. So far it hasn't rebooted again, but I'm afraid to do anything on it.
Could be a software problem or it is a bigger issue? What should I do? Some stress test, reinstall Windows? I ran Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool and it found nothing. I'm kinda lost here. Thanks for any help.
My specs:
Gigabyte Z690 UD DDR4
I5-12600k
16GB Patriot Viper 3733 Mhz
Gigabyte RTX 4070 Ti Gaming OC
Corsair RM850x Shift
PC is connected to CyberPower UPS (if it's matter)
 
Is your motherboard updated to the latest drivers and BIOS?
Are you running your RAM at 3733 Mhz? I would try lowering your memory speed to increase stability.
Yes, I have the latest bios and drivers, but I think I might found the issue. I turned off the computer for a while to check that all the cables were connected properly and I couldn't start it back again, it fell into a endless boot loop. Removing CMOS didn't help. It turned out that flipping the RAM sticks to the other two slots worked. So the motherboard, to put it lightly, is not very good? Or could be a processor? Although it passed all tests, as I said before. Can it be used, or is there a risk that it will fry something?
