Chosen Solution
I’ll start by listing my system specs:
i5 9600k @ stock CPU + H100i V2 Cooler MSI Z390I Gaming Edge AC Mobo 2x8GB 3200MHz Corsair Veng RAM MSI gtx 1060 3GT OC (OC’d) 250GB Samsung 970 Evo NVMe SSD 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD EVGA 650W PSU
cpu temps idle are 25-30C under load never reach above 70C (aida runs at 55*C)
I’ve actually had previous RAM in this board, of which the retailer said was the issue causing it. but it continues. i did have an i3 8350k too, but sent that back since it was trash. but this issue persists.
I’ve tried multiple fresh installs of windows on both of these drives, with and without the GPU. I’ve tried many outdated and in-date drivers as I can. definitely don’t think its software sided.
I’ve used memtest 86 for over 12 hours, no issues. Intels burn/diagnostics check says the CPU is fine.
My issue happens playing games, idling listening to music, netflix, youtube. even when noaudio is plugged in or on, it’ll brick up for a few secs then go back to normal.
Anything else I can do to fully determine the fault? I used this same PSU in my old system (4th gen i5 with no issues)
Comp is 2months old.
