Hi everyone!

So upgraded my pc recently. Bought an fx 8350, 16gb ram, gigabyte 3dp mobo, cx 750m psu and gtx 970. Right of the bat after installing a clean copy of windows my, external 3tb hdd died. Then i noticed that my computer "hangs" while using any browser for 10-30 sec, then continue like normal. Does not freeze otherwise. My usb ports keeps disconnecting and reconecting at times. And some of them don't work at all. Or only make the usb's device flicer. And then i think my usb hub died, and shortly after windows died. Tried everything to get it working (recover/repair), but it was completly impossible. So i installed a clean copy again.

I read bad things about this mobo and was thinking it might be the source of all this. Because o also read someone else having the internet freeze with that mobo.

Buuuut it might be a psu problem as well? I just dont want to buy a new mobo if the psu is the problem. What do you guys think i should do? Can't have my pc like this.

I bought the psu, cpu and mobo used... maybe a bad idea now that i think about it..
