Sorry if this isn't the right thread for this, but iv'e tried looking for a solution to my problem on other forums and nothing is working.
Recently (just started last night) my PC will skip and freeze while doing anything. Watching youtube videos, listening to music, playing games you name it, it skips and freezes. This started happening after last night when I switched my download server on steam to Valenzuela (im from US) because I was having download issues. After that my PC proceeded to turn off my monitor, keyboard and mouse every time I opened up steam and I was forced to hard turn off the PC. I fixed that issue by just taking the RAM out of the slots and placing them back in. Now I cant play anything, youtube or games without hiccups of freezing, distortion and skipping.
My issue is, everything was running perfectly fine before this. I mean my PC was extremely fast, every game on max setting in 4K no lag, skips or hiccups at all.
Note1: While working on it yesterday I was loosening he screw on my CPU fan, it got stripped so I pushed pretty hard to get it back on there, not hard to the point where you would think something would break, but pretty hard. Could I have messed up my CPU chip?
Iv'e tried:
Updating BIOS
Wiping BIOS to default
Optimizing Drives
Downloading latest drivers for GPU
Clearing static in the system (holding the power button down when PSU isnt plugged in)
turning up the fan speed
Booting in safe-mode
Scanning for viruses VIA Malwarebytes
Unplugging and re plugging everything back in
SPECS:
Windows 8.1
Ryzen 1600 CPU
NVIDIA GFX 1060 Founders Edition
MSI x370 Pro Carbon
G.Skill 16GB TridentZ RGB 3000mhz
WD 1TB Black Edition
SeaSonic 120-240VAT Bronze Modular
460x RGB Corsair Case
UPDATE: My internet connection is fine im downloading at 200 uploading at 90 VIA Xfinity.
UPDATE P2: Just got an error while browsing the site saying that my Display Driver has stopped responding and recovered. Im going to assume this has something to do with my issue. Is there any way to solve it?
UPDATE P3: While its skipping, this is what nTune shows me.
