I recently built a new pc.
Working fine. However, most more recently it has been softlocking after about 1 hour of use. I can close windows, move my mouse around, even type with my keyboard. But spotify loops the last 1 second of music, i cant open the windows start menu, and programs/files wont open.
On startup my pc has been doing disk checks consistently I am suspicious of a drive problem. But, I checked for bad sectors and did a drive check, clean boot, the whole deal and it reported no errors. The drive is also brand new, so I am stumped.
Any solutions come to mind? I'm at my wits end.
Here are my specs.
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken M22 Liquid CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Gigabyte B550I AORUS PRO AX Mini ITX AM4 Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory
Storage: Samsung 970 Evo 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11 GB SC2 Video Card
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA GM 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular SFX Power Supply
Edit: This seems to happen mostly when I am not putting the PC under a lot of load. I've been playing games without a problem for many hours... But watching shows or just browsing the internet is when this happens the most.
