Hi all. I recently replaced my GTX 1660ti with an RTX 2060 SUPER. Up to that point, everything was peachy. My boot SSD had been cloned with no issues and I was riding cloud nine. Then I noticed the first issue: This PC was listed under Desktop in File Explorer. No big deal, I thought to myself. And it went downhill from there.
I am now unable to get a context menu in any application without Explorer crashing and requiring a force quit and restart in the command prompt. Half the time, Explorer sits on “Working on it” while trying to load This PC. I can’t access the administrator-level (I am the only user) of any program, and the only time everything works is when I am in Safe Mode. I ended up buying a new SSD and installing a clean version of Windows on it, and I STILL had the same issues above. I’ve installed a fresh hard drive and moved every connector to rule out a bad SATA or M.2 slot, so I’m convinced it’s not one of my drives.
I’m at my wits end and I need advice on what to check, because everything is relatively new there.
Specs just in case they’re helpful:
Ryzen 5 3600x
ASUS X570-P (not the Pro version)
4x8GB Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB
1TB Intel M.2
500GB Samsung 960 M.2
4TB Seagate Iron Wolf SATA
Corsair RM1000X PSU
