As in doing the "LTT FOLDING TEAM" event stuff that is currently going on. (Emergency response to COVID-19) It's a way to set up your computer to "donate" cpu and gpu work to work on molecular calculations, to use our own computers to aid in solving this bug, from our homes... If you loaded the folding@home software once, it will load everytime you start your computer and leave it running. That can keep your GPU busy enough to be unresponsive...

Day Eleven - The Fall of Oppression
RickH commented on GOTSpectrum's blog entry in LTT COVID-19 Folding Event Blog
I was really late in starting this. Missed the actual sign up... Right now, I have 5 upper mid end computers all blissfully doing their thing. About 500,000 points in the last 8 hours... -
The I7 8700K and one of these: - ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-F- MSI Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon Ac- ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-E The difference between them involves how they are configured, how many slots, etc. It's all up to you.

Once that Geforce 2080 or whatever they call it is released (next week?) the 1080s may lower, the problem is people using them for bitcoin... That's what has been keeping the costs up...

That GPU isn't bad, MOBO, RAM and motherboard will have trouble keeping up with most stuff released in the last 2 years... Linus has a ton of tech tip vids on your alternatives... Once every few years you need to take a plunge and upgrade to another series. Leap as far as you can afford. That will keep you satisfied with your system performance longer...

I've been using Corsair LPX 3000MHZ on a Ryzen 7 1800X since January 2018. The Ram runs at 3000mhz, no faster. I've never had any issues with the RAM. If I was to get ram over, I'd probably get the 3600mhz corsair ram. https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3600MHz-PC4-28800-Black/dp/B01AKWSUOU/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1534552367&sr=1-1&keywords=Corsair+Vengeance+LPX+3600

Power supplies are one thing it doesn't pay to go cheap on, in my experience... They have to work ALL the time and never deviate, even when the power is potentially unstable...
-
It could be a driver problem. It could be something as trivial as the CPU not totally being seated completely. Try pulling and reseating the RAM and all the installed cards on the MOBO. 3 years is enough time for dust/corrosion to do their work.... And time is ticking.... tick... tock...

You're referring to the alternative being a laptop, so I'm guessing the PC you are specifically referring to is a desktop? There are a LOT of variables here... Power supply... Loose power connection... Exposed power wire causing power supply to short out... infected computer software... On and on... You have a fixed deadline before it has to work reliably. There is a time to take a computer in. You have reached that time...

Ryzen 7 2700U Stuck At 0.4 GHz
RickH replied to Emberstone's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Sounds like thermal throttling. Is your CPU getting hot? Make sure the vents are completely clear, etc... No fuzzy desk pad, no papers over it, etc... -
AIOs have up to 6 year warranties, so yes, they can run 24x7. I have an NZXT Kraken x62 and I never shut that computer off... Been working since January 2018 now...

Do you know specifically WHEN it started these BSODs? IF you can figure that out, did you install or upgrade something about that time? This issue is almost always driver related. Drivers being updated is not the same thing as drivers installed correctly. If you know what drivers caused the issue, uninstall or remove them and install them over again, preferably from an original driver source...

Have you tried booting in safe mode and trying chrome then? Remember Chrome is an add-on app. You can always use control panel to uninstall it, then reinstall it. You should also check what extensions are installed on your instance of Chrome... Extensions can sometimes cause instabilities
