Hello everyone,
my new PC that I built three weeks ago has been acting strangely recently. I really need your help because I spent 400€ on it and I can't even use it anymore.
When I started using it, I realised that my GPU usage in Overwatch would dip to 0 momentarily. It also froze frequently not in game, but idle, watching videos or changing my windows background.
I stumbled upon the windows reliability setting, and saw that multiple times had the hardware was causing these issues. I got a kernel error, despite haveing the most up-to-date drivers.
I have also discovered something wierd with my PSU: a coil has bent and touching a yellow plastic block in the PSU. Is this normal?
Finally, the pc has become unusable: it froze twice in a row while watching YouTube, resulting in me having to use the reset button more than I would like.
My specs: Bequiet system power 9 500w
Ryzen 3 1200 stock speed
MSI GTX 770 stock speed
4gb ddr4
All connectors are properly inserted.
I would appreciate any help because this is really stressing me out.
