Not sure what the issue is. I custom built my PC back in January with some new parts I bought, was gifted, and the GPU I already had. Haven't had issues until May when I moved into an apartment. We know we overload the breaker as it was not wired correctly, so my apartment power goes out, the desktop shuts off and I need to reset bios time, etc as my CMOS battery is clearly not working. This happens every time I power off the PSU. At least that is what I thought.
My PC sometimes randomly goes off when the rest of the apartment did not. So this confuses me even more.
I'm not sure if the breaker possibly destroyed my PSU, motherboard, or what. Just yesterday, my USB rosewill headset's microphone was not working. To those on the other end of the convo, it sounded like interference; something metal was touching another metal part and creating a very loud noise.
Today, my headset completely shut off. I thought it was the USB port in the front of the PC, but no. I checked the 3.0 dongle I have plugged into the back. Then my pc surround system went out. I immediately turned off the pc for the fear of damage. Powered off PSU, unplugged, checked components, etc. Powered on. Jumped right to the "windows is loading" instead of giving me option to go into bios. The time and date is correct, which is very odd, as I powered down and unplugged everything. So maybe the CMOS battery isn't entirely bad...?
Just now as I am typing this. My motherboard just registered -198.4 F temperature...It ranges 95-100.4F. CPU ranges 65F-90F.
I've been monitoring voltages for the last two weeks and it seems consistent. My PC is NOT overclocked, as I want to fix whatever the issue is. Vcore now is 0.708, sometimes it is at 1.308 but not recently. 3.3V = 3.216 or 2.340. 5V = 4.928. 12V = 12.046.
I know this is a lot of information. I really think my motherboard is jacked up. I did not buy it, but a friend bought it new. I have someone helping me with this in the next few days, but I am hoping for different opinions/advice.
