Hey everyone, first time posting, long time browser of the site for troubleshooting via Google searches over the years.
Here's the deal. I've only built 2 PCs in my life, both in the last 2 years. My current PC is listed below
i7 7700k Intel CPU
1080 GeForce GPU
16 GB RAM
750W Gold Fully Modular PSU
250GB SSD
1TB HDD
Hyper EVO 212 CPU Cooler
I built it maybe 4 months ago, it worked great, the GPU worked great, over kill for what I was using it for at the time.
It had good temps, everything did. Recently in the past 2 weeks I've been watching a LOT of Game of Thrones on Amazon Video and multiple times now the browser crashes, and I've used both Firefox and Chrome since the crashing started. On top of that, I tried to play a game of PUBG the other day on Steam and the game crashed, and just about 10 minutes ago I got the blue screen of death for Windows 10, with the sad face and the reboot sequence. It just froze mid game, audio skipping crazily, and rebooted. The temps weren't high, and when it loaded it loaded a previous restore point I believe considering the games I had installed recently, like Skyrim, weren't installed anymore.
Playing Warframe a few weeks ago I noticed some coil whine from somewhere in the case that stopped when I capped the frame rate in the game to 60fps instead of uncapped, which got me 200+.
I'm worried my GPU is messed up, or maybe I have a virus. I only use Windows Firewall, and I have the free version of Bitdefender installed and run it weekly. Even as of now typing this when I go to my start menu button, I click it, it takes a second to load, then I can't use the search bar, and it takes forever to load anything I click on from it.
At this point I feel like I should do a fresh install of Windows 10. Any advice?
