The above build was put together a year and a half ago and has simply never functioned properly. From frozen black screens during gaming to random restarts, it simply does not work. I've stress tested the memory, video card, and CPU dozens of times and it all appears fine during those, as well as tried 100's of different driver installs but nothing. Attempted to research how to "flash" the motherboard but went nowhere with that. All updates I've attempted to download and install for the motherboard from the website do not work/install properly. Finally admitting defeat and throwing in the towel. Gonna attempt to return my video card for a new one, buy a new different motherboard, and get a new PSU since I'm using a 5 year old one from a previous build.
Looking for recommendations for a new motherboard and PSU, compatible with the build at the top? As well as any other advice, thanks in advance.
