Hi guys, so I just finished building my pc yesterday. On the first day, it worked fine. I did not do much it other than just opening some applications and what not. But today, I decided to download all the drivers and other applications for my pc and it is now giving me one major problem. If I use for around 10-20 mins, the monitor, mouse and keyboard just looses connection, but the PC still runs. So I rebooted my pc and it turned on like normal, but 10-20mins later, the same thing happened. So then I reboot it again, but this time i just left it on for at least and hour and a half without touching it. But as soon as I decided to use the pc, 10-20 mins later, the problem occurs again. I honestly have no clue as to what is going on with my pc. Please help a newbie :(

I sent my rig to a pc repair shop. The technician tested almost every component in my system (swapping with other systems / reinstalling them) and determined everything was just fine. Apparently, the problem disappeared when he installed a full copy of original Windows 10 (in a HDD) to my system.

He ran tests for a whole day and the rig worked just fine. But as soon as he changed it back to my ssd (with Windows 10 trial), the issue pops up again. He didn't test the motherboard, but he said it should be fine since it lasted a whole day of testing with his HDD. So he concluded that I had to either reinstall my Windows properly, or the ssd could be the one giving me the problem.

So I reinstalled Windows 10 home trial, but this time I did what was mentioned in one of LinusTechTip's videos about setting up SSD and HDD, that is by clickling the 'new' button before installing the OS onto the drive (the first time I just clicked 'next' without pressing 'new'). Everything seems ok for now. I have yet to run proper tests because I have not installed the drivers for the necessary components. No internet :'( . Will update if anything happens to the system.

Well I've got some bad news. It started happening all over again. But this time i noticed something. When the OS is super clean (like a super fresh install), it works just fine. It's when I installed the drivers for my motherboard and gpu does it start happening again. I guess i'll have to try installing them separately to find out which one is causing the problem. I also have reinstall everything but with my HDD unplugged. And then repeat the whole thing with my HDD but with SSD unplugged.

Honestly this thing is such a pain in the ass...
