Oh, I forgot that I was updating Apex Legends on Origin in the backround, this game I have on the HDD...

Today I was watching youtube videos when I chcecked how is the Total Host Writes looking on the HDD and it is writing something pretty fast not gonna lie xD But could it be the problem which causes the PC to freeze and restart randomly? And it did not happen after I turned off Phasmophobia, at least until now. And if you will watch the video in the attachment, the fan you can hear is from my brothers laptop, bcs he doesn't care about it till it's working and he can play games... VID_20210204_151644.mp4

I don't think that I have written 20TB, i was using laptop with all games on HDD for a 2 years and I only wrote about 17TB, even though I installed and uninstalled few really big games at least couple of times. (BF4 with all DLCs, FH4, GTA V and some other) And for a year and 1 or 2 months I was using it only with HDD, then I bought the Samsung SSD and used it as system drive. Now I have it in PC and I deleted everything I was able to so it don't think that is the system drive and not the Gigabyte SSD and it looks like it's working perfectly, I had zero problems with the PC until now. Well the only option that I was able to get from Seagate RMA is to send it to them as non working device and wait if they will send something to me.. And bcs it is working just maybe making some problems and it is wrongly reporting info, I'm not gonna send it to them and just risk getting it damaged while shipping. One thing that I forgot to write... I have the game Phasmophobia on the Samsung SSD, not on the HDD. After I wrote here today I was playing GTA V Online, which I have on the HDD, with my friend few hours and everything was working perfectly. And one more thing, I checked how it can be connected to the mobo when I have 2 NVMe and I have it connected properly.

Hello, I built my PC in october 2020 with brand new parts and about a 2 weeks ago I upgraded CPU cooling from air to AIO and case from SilentiumPC to Phanteks P500A also brand new, I don't want to buy anything second handed. But last few days my PC randomly freezes and after few seconds it turns off and on, but not like restarting, fans, lights from fans and everything turns off and after few seconds it turns on. Today it happened 2 times when playing Phasmofobia with my friends. It did not happen in any other game. And today I noticed extremely high Total Host Writes on HDD which I have in the system (see screenshot) but it works fine, I don't have any problems with it and it does not sound any strange. And second thing I noticed is that GLCKIO2 is causing some error, I saw that some malware can be hidden in it, but I'm not clicking on any "You won iPhone 12 Pro" AD or any ads like this or random links. And I have official license on Eset Antivirus. I tried chkdsk on the HDD but no error or bad sectors were found My system specs are: Case: Phanteks P500A Digital CPU: Intel Core i7-9700K (no OC) CPU Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 Rev.3 (Fans connected separately through splitter) Mounted on top of the case MOBO: MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Pro Carbon GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1660 Super Gaming OC (Only factory OC) RAM: DDR4 2x8GB Gigabyte 2666 MHz CL16 Disks: Main SSD: Gigabyte 256GB NVMe Secondary SSD: Samsung 970 EVO 500GB (For games) HDD: Seagate BarraCuda 2TB 256MB CACHE 7200rpm (For games and random stuff) This is the disk with weird Total Host Writes PSU: Gigabyte P550B I have it on Battery backup APC Back-Ups 700, but I have it connected through this from the start and the problems started only recently. CPU temps at max are 55°C in Cinebench R23 and GPU temps are at max 60°C in Heaven Benchmark. I'm sorry if I forgot any info or if my english is bad.. Thank you in advance for any help.

I didn't know that Gigabyte has an RMA location here, thank you

Okay, thank you for info and fast reply

For safety of the components I turned off the PC and the PSU, after turning it off I did not wait, so only a few seconds and I tried to touch it. It was not hot and I did not feel anything warm there. Does that mean if I won't use any led strip, that it's safe to use that mobo until I can go to the shop with it?

I would like to, but I'm from Slovakia, and as I checked now it is only for USA and Canada.

Thank you for fast reply, but I won't be able to get to the shop where I bought it, at least for a week or two. I forgot to add that I tried GTA V benchmark withou VSync and everything was okay, went as it had to, I'd like to know for now if it's safe to use it until I can go to that shop with it?

Hi, today I got burned one of the chips above RGB header, my PC turned off immediatelly. I disconnected the led strip and after turning it on, it turned off after about a minute, but after third turn on now everything works fine, but I'm not sure if I have to buy a new motherboard ASAP or I can use this without connecting anything near the RGB header. I attached a photo what it looks like above that RGB header. I did not find anything else burned.
