So a few months ago I built my first custom PC. The first few weeks it worked like a charm: ran everything beautifully including even games with rather high graphic loads (such as The Witcher 3) and kept relatively normal CPU and GPU temperatures throughout doing so (never higher than mid 70°C).
However since a few weeks back I've been getting more and more issues each growing more and more severe as time goes on. At first I had issues with Blizzard games randomly disconnecting me. I resolved that issue rather swiftly.
Then Blizzard games started crashing at random intervals, sometimes 10 minutes between crashes and other times multiple hours. Unsure if that's fixed at this point since I haven't played any of them since my initial tests to check whether the issue was resolved.
Then I started getting blue-screens seemingly at random: I had them when I played hefty games but also while idly browsing the internet.
Then Steam games started crashing without error messages, just throwing be back onto my desktop with no warning whatsoever.
And lastly my PC randomly goes Hellen Keller on me: any YouTube videos I was watching suddenly go quiet and my monitors go black after displaying they weren't detecting signal, the only temporary solution to this problem seems to be doing a manual reset. For the latter 3 issues I still haven't found a solution even after going through article after article on various tech sites to help me diagnose the problem.
In a last ditch effort I have decided to ask you good folks for help. I have no clue what's going on and even less of a clue how I might get around to solving it.
My specs:
Windows 10 64 bit OS
Intel Core i7-7700k CPU
American Megatrends 0321 BIOS
ASUS Prime z-270 Motherboard
2 8GB Corsiar Vengeance RAM
Radeon RX 480 GPU
All hardware with the most current drivers installed.
