Sorry lol, hopefully you see this. CPU - Ryzen 3600 (I just upgraded today to the Ryzen 5 5600x) RAM - 16gb DDR4 2600MHZ GPU - GTX 1660 super PSU - some corsair 550 watt PSU. can't remember version, gold standard. I got 3 fans, don't think it's overheating. P.S - Not sure if it's a graphical issue, i've updated drivers numerous times over the months this issue has been occuring. Also have factory reset multiple times over the years purely because why not.

First started a few months ago, my video will cut outright (black screen) but I can still hear audio, it stays like that for a few seconds then audio cuts off entirely, nothing brings back windows (probably hard crash) but my computer is still physically on... I have to force reset by holding down power button, these crashes happen at extremely random times. In recent months they've been getting more and more frequent, not frequent enough to interrupt serious tasks but noticeably more than usually. Most amount of times I had it in a single day was 4 or 5... Friend said it was a PSU problem, I bought a new PSU (needed one anyways) and it didn't fix it. Found some online threads saying it's my graphics drivers, reinstalled them entirely. Didn't fix. Some people on here said it was a window's error, reinstalled, didn't fix. Some people said to unplug and re-seed everything, didn't fix. Some people said it was a ram issue but I don't think so ( haven't tried but can't buy a new set rn )

Corsair power supply, dont remember which because label peeled off. It's a 550watt gold though, 3600 ryzen cpu, 16gb ddr4 ram 2600mz, 1660 super gpu, windows 10 ofc

It started a few months back and has been happening at very random times... My PC will crash, everything on my screen comes to a halt but a loud buzzing/screeching noise will happen and never fixes it self. I have to force shut off my PC to get it to fix but just now it continues to do it after every restart. Not sure if its overheating because someone told me that its because of my thermal paste being ass cheeks, I replaced it and honestly it worked for a few weeks but now it's back. So I guess I got trolled or something. I'm not a tech nerd so I have no clue where to start...

I can't explain it correctly because It's a weird noise but it sounds like a quiet thudding/thonking noise if that's even a thing whenever high-data/transfer/download/accessing is happening and I know for a fact that It's the ethernet port because it doesn't make the noise whenever I unplug it. Anyone got any ideas on how to get rid of it? It's not a faulty MOBO either I've had it on my three other PCs before this one so I feel like I can rule that out unless I've just had 4 bad MOBOs

Oh wow thanks I'm not going to lie I knew this existed but I guess it went over my head and train thought completely... Thanks again!

So I'm not sure if I'm not looking in the right places or it just doesn't exist in any pre-made/configured style but I'm looking for a keyboard that has kailh box jade switches, they're very clicky and loud and that's what I'm looking for. Don't care for the price, just was wondering if anyone had any idea where to get a pre-made keyboard or even a semi-complete board where all I have to do is install the switches themselves... Sorry if this seems like I'm a legit noob, it's because I am. Also sorry if this is the wrong sub-section to be posting indirect requests.

Hey also, sorry for tagging you but I just noticed something... I have a motherboard, the gigabyte b450m ds3h and It says within the actual manual that it only supports up to 3200mhz (the ram I upgraded to, but I just checked on the actual website of gigabyte and it says it supports 3600mhz (O.C.), what should I believe? My friend was going to give me his ram sticks for free (3600mhz) but I declined because I thought my mobo didn't support it...

I see your points and logic and it does make a lot of sense now that I've read it, the only reason why I decided to upgrade my CPU and RAM first BEFORE a gpu is simply because I couldn't afford all the exorbitant prices of the current GPU market... I'm still conflicted haha, I'm probably going to keep the ram then purely because even if I manage to get a modern GPU, there would probably be a bottleneck due to its performance with my current CPU. For the most part, my logic as well as my friends was "Your GPU will for the most part, always be compatible with your other PC parts and since you can't get a good GPU anyways for it's MSRP, just upgrade everything else first."

So from what I've seen and heard from every major PC-news outlet such as Linus, Jayz2Cent etc is that RAM speed does matter but up to a certain extent, it depends on the CPU and game/application you're running/doing... I currently own (my old set as of today) a 16gb kit of 2400mhz RAM paired with a ryzen 2600 CPU/1660 super GPU and everything runs completely fine, but I ordered a new set of ram sticks (2x8gb) for a total of 16GB of ram @ 3200Mhz, I genuinely thought it was going to improve my FPS even just a little but from what I can tell is that nothing has changed. I'm getting maybe 2 fps better on average than before... I was just wondering if I should keep the new set of sticks or return them because I'm not sure what to do... I also ordered a new CPU that's going to be a major upgrade from what I've heard, I'm getting a ryzen 3600 on friday and was wondering if the new RAM combined with the new CPU would be a power duo versus my current setup. It's also kind of a waste because the old ram sticks won't be used in anything for a long time... old setup - Ryzen 2600 , 6 core processor 16GB ddr4 2400mhz RAM 1660 super GPU --- --- --- New setup Ryzen 3600, 6 core processor 16gb 3200mhz RAM 1660 super GPU TLDR - I'm not seeing any worth while results after installing new, faster ram but of the same quantity. Should I return and save for something else? P.S. - I also sometimes stream on twitch but only non-demanding game like runescape but I plan on streaming more if possible, would the new ram help?

If anything I'll hire someone else to do it. If nobody is available to me I'll build my own custom kb with jade switches that are hot swappable.

RIP i really wanted box jades lol, but I don't know how to de-solder/sodder

So I'm not really educated within the depths of Mechanical Keyboards so I wanted to ask a quick question, my current keyboard is a viper v730 kailh brown switches and I wanted to know if the switches themselves are removable, when i wiggle the switches without the keycaps they move slightly as if they aren't soddered on so yeah... I know I could easily find out by opening it up and looking at the back of the pcb but it has stickers to prevent my warranty from being forfietted... The website or anyone else's websites cannot tell me whether or not if the kailh brown switches on the Patriot Viper v730 are removeable... Does anyone here know if they are? I want to switch them out for Box Jade switches if possible.

i don't think you understand what i'm asking, im asking will 450 watts be enough to power a 2060 or 5700, I'm not saying is it a bad powersupply...

does it matter? I thought all that mattered was the watts? It's a CX
