First off, I have had numerous problems, it seems, in the past year or two. Many might not be related so I will just name the most common few.
The first one that is driving me mad is the EasyAntiCheat.dll missing files. Numerous games that use EAC have this problem on my PC, I follow some fixes online that sometimes work. Problem is the fixes never seem to stick around after a PC reboot or an extended day of gaming. For one instance whenever I want to play Squad.exe then I first have to DELETE the EAC folder in the game's directory and Verify the game files through Steam to reacquire them. Problem fixed until I reboot my rig.
The Second Issue I have that I will mention is SIMILAR to the first but has nothing to do with EAC. It is that I get an Application Error that says that the referenced memory could not be read at (location). I will provide Screenshots of both of these issues.
Lastly, Steam installs/ Updates tend to "Preallocate Data" for extended periods. Sometimes it takes 5 minutes of "Preallocation" before the install starts.
UPDATE!!!!!!! Everything is still the same as written EXCEPT, while writing this up and gathering my system specs using CPU-Z CPU ID, my computer went into a weird semi-frozen state that mostly didn't work (buttons sometimes didn't work but I could still interact with some applications.) REQUIRED manual power reset, would not shutdown.
Here are my system specs:
