PC Having Minor Issues

[AwesomeBFM]

    I built my PC back in April with fairly good specs, Ryzen 7 3700x, 1660 Super, 16GB of ram, etc. I had no problems with the system before, everything was smooth and snappy. The OS loaded maybe 10 seconds after booting up, I had had no problems whatsoever until 2 days ago. 2 days ago I turn on my PC and I notice something odd, the taskbar at the bottom had loaded in but no apps were visible. I found this strange, but I had known from my previous experience with a potato all-in-one that the taskbar was always the last to load in. Writing this off, I clicked on the app I wanted to use (Valorant) on my desktop, and the game loaded normally. Now here, is where the bugs start the taskbar remained on screen once I was in Valorant, still without the apps. When I plugged in my headset, audio continued to come out of my studio monitors, even though I had set the output to my headset. And, when I tried to adjust the volume via the media wheel on my Razer BlackWidow V3, it would not work. I also noticed when looking back on the event that the startup apps did not load in. With this, I shut down my computer, went downstairs for a glass of water, and turned it back on.
  The PC functioned fine on the next boot-up, the taskbar popped right back in, everything was fine until I booted it up today and found the same issues mentioned above. At this point, I know that this is not just a one-time glitch in the system but a true startup error. Somethings to mention, the RAM, M.2 SSD, MOBO, and PSU are all from a prebuilt. Maybe, the RAM is bad, though I checked the RAM and it is 3200 speed. Anyways I was hoping someone might have some advice or experience with this. Thanks :)

If you suspect it's the memory, run memtest86 - if it can run a couple of passes without issue it's probably not your memory.

Ok, I will give that a try.
