I would like to add that I have run malwarebytes, and it came back clean.

Hello, So my PC is experiencing these very odd issues. After several hours (Or it will be stable the entire time, it's very random) my internet connection will suddenly get extremely slow, chrome will not load web-pages normally and Spotify will be stuck in offline mode. Strange thing is that on speedtest the latency is still normal, and the download and upload speed are both also what I expect normally (250 down, 30 up). Now when I try and shut my PC down (due to it actually fixing the issue, temporarily.) it will take an abnormal time to shut down, fans and lights etc will remain active during that time till it does indeed suddenly power down. When the system is rebooted I get a black screen with just my mouse pointer (After the regular things, bios, windows loading etc.) And I have to force my system into a reboot, at which point everything operates normally again. For some reason the normal restart function does work as it should. I have already reinstalled windows a few weeks ago due to this same issue, at which point it went away for a few weeks. There isn't any pirated software installed on this machine, nor have I visited any sketchy websites. All temperatures and such appear to be normal, CPU is idling at around 40-50c according to GPU-Z. I am slightly worried there is something wrong with my Motherboard, but that doesn't explain why this is happening so randomly. I'm not experienced enough to figure out what is causing these issues. System Specs: CPU: i7 8700K MOBO: ASUS Prime Z370-A GPU: Sapphire RX590 (Driver version 19.12.3) RAM: 2x8GB sticks Corsair DDR4 2133mhz Storage: Windows 10 on a Samsung 960 EVO 500gb, a Samsung 850 EVO 500gb for my game drive and 2 separate WD Black Drives for projects and music samples.

Went with the 960 EVO , saved me a bit of money too. Thanks for the reply!

Hello! So I been wanting to upgrade my PC with a M.2 SSD so I can run the SSD i have now in my PC purely for storing games on. But I read on the webpage it supports upto 32Gbps. Now will the 970 EVO 500gb run fine, considering its at 34Gbps? Or do I have to go with the 960 EVO 500gb instead? https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/PRIME-Z370-A/

Great! Thanks for the replies :).

Hello! So I got myself a 1050 TI for my new PC to survive the coming months till volta. Now I was wondering, should I remove the intel graphics drivers with DDU after the GPU is working fine or simply just disable them in windows after the 1050 TI is up and running? I'm reading really mixed results through my google searches, and as a former mac user that has recently switched over I find it difficult to figure out what to do! Cheers, v00rp

Hello! So I have recently migrated from mac to windows, and I have a really lovely PC going for music work, but I was not able to secure a GPU yet! (So I am running the integrated one on my i7 8700k) I've noticed that everything is out of stock.. except for the 1050 TI (at ever store here), considering I'll be mainly playing world of warcraft would that suffice? My issue is that I am running a 2560x1440 screen for the extra workspace it gives me. Or would it be a smarter idea to just use the integrated graphics for now and wait out for volta and hope those wont also be bought up yet again like all the current generation of cards are? Or cheap out and get the 1050 ti? Cheers, v00rp
