Can buggy hdd damage motherboard? freezes on ssd

[JerryBond]

Hey

i have "non micro" stuttering in games, where everything interrupts for even a second. Sometimes shorter ones happen even while "idle", like watching netflix. At it's worst it affected sound too.

 

I tried swapping all hardware but the motherboard and psu with brothers equipment, problem persisted.

Only thing i didn't dive into, likely the culprit, was some old hdd i had that a month ago, some time before everything started. That old hdd had errors, but i was working on some overclocks or something in bios, and manually skipped disk check, so it wouldn't bother me with windows startup repair. Everything fine until whole system started freezing and i couldn't use file explorer, basic windows options some days later... , it took me a few minutes for the obvious answer where that old hdd would have 100% usage, turned off my pc and unugged faulty hdd.

Problems went away, or so i thought.

All symptoms now seem to be occasional mild variants- have i broken my motherboard?

I'd hardly believe it could be brothers ssd windows install (excluding possibility of driver failuire or something software related ), and since stock bios settings weren't ever giving me problems before?

 

I can still reach 3800 points on 4.2Ghz overclock in Cinebench R20, never getting errors, temps up to 66°C, but those freezes turn up even on typing this message.

 

Huge thanks to anyone that could help me!

It didn't help, but I'd try anything at this point.

as I've switched all of the components but motherboard and cpu, it really does seem like it could either be power supply, motherboard, bios or bios settings.

 

Psu is just as new as the whole system, since december, but weird wiring in the apartment could affect it?

 

I've tried different bios versions, older ones too, and tried flashing within bios, oposed to in windows with gigabyte tool that always caused huuuge system interrupts - making me think it  could be connected?

 

Bios settings: altho i see it affecting it differently, before august i for sure never had the same problem, and it definitely shouldn't persist on default settings after cmos reset.

 

Which brings me to motherboard, and possible incident with an older 240GB disk, and how i turned off its scheded disk check untill it went crazy and j just unplugged it as it's far from needed Nd was causing trouble.

I'm just thinking if it could have damaged fhe mobo in the peocess.

This is also why i tried disabling sata ports in bios, no luck there.

 

I have been using latencymon, should i gice results? They vary on the usage, only overload un a game at seemingly random tims, all until the game crashes.

latencymon usually shows way bigger numbers for video drivers, directx and network. I tried updating them all, using different versions, but seeing how i had the same problem on another os of my brothers nvme with all different hardware but psu/mobo, it's very unlikely...

Would be great if i could circumvent the trigger in bios though.

you could try a fresh install of windows

I've already tried fresh windows install, it didn't help.
