I built this PC about 12 months ago, but in late October of 2017 it started having constant issues running VMware and Google Chome, eventually leading to hard crashes and freezes. After wiping and reformatting the hard drive to no effect, I took it in to a PC repair place to see if I got a virus or anything; however it came back clean with no problems immediately visible to the technicians. On their recommendation I sent the motherboard in to ASUS to see if there was anything I was missing, but they didn't find anything either. Yet after having the PC repair business reassemble my PC, I found that the freezing and crash-reboot loops still occurred. After browsing the forums here, I downgraded my CPU to an AMD FX-8350, but the problem only seems to have worsened with the new chip. Can anybody see something immediately obvious that I seem to be missing here?
