Hey all,
So I've had my PC for a couple months now, and twice this bizarre and infuriating thing has happened (btw I don't know if this is the right place to post as I'm not even sure what kind of issue this is).
The first time it happened, I completely reset windows and it seemed to be fixed. But now it's happened again and is completely crippling for everything I use my PC for. This was completely out of the blue (yesterday it was going fine, today its a mess). So here's a list of what happens:
- When I turn the PC on, gputweak automatically opens as does ledcontrolservice, which appears to control my GPU lighting.
- I cannot restart, sleep, hibernate, or shut down my pc with the buttons in windows. This can only be done by holding down my chassis power button. If I try to shut it down through windows, it displays the shutting down screen with the spinning logo, but my PC stays on with a green led illuminated.
- Task manager is frozen. The information on it updates extremely slowly, like once every 30 seconds. I can't end tasks, change startup applications etc.
- Chrome will not open and will instead be a white screen, soon followed by an invisible window title "Page unresponsive".
- I can't open applications like steam, origin, etc. They open and appear in task manager (static, of course) but do not appear on the screen or in the taskbar.
- One particular program, the Star Citizen launcher, appears as a transparent window when opened.
- Discord opens fine and works.
- MS Edge (which I used to see if web browsing worked) cannot access webpages and freezes when I try to open it.
Honestly, I have no clue what could be causing this, and it means my PC is simply unusable. I don't know if it's a hardware thing or a software thing.
My specs are:
- R5 1600
- X370-F ROG Strix Motherboard
- 16GB 3000mHz ddr4 G.Skill trident z
- Asus ROG STRIX 1060 6GB
- MX500 500GB ssd (C drive)
- WD Blue 1TB HDD (E drive)
- Corsair RM 650i PSU
Help is appreciated!
