Hey everyone!
So, I just put together a new build:
-MSI H310M Pro VH
-Asus GTX 1050 Ti 4GB ddr5 Nvidia
-RAM 2x8GB DDR4 2400MHz
-WD Blue 7200rpm 1TB
-Intel i3 8300
I’m running into this weird issue where the whole thing just freezes out of nowhere. Like, the screen stays totally frozen on whatever was there, and nothing responds... not even the keyboard. Caps lock won't toggle or anything. I think maybe it even locked up once while I was sitting in the BIOS, if I remember right.
Any idea what's going on? CPU temps seem fine, and all the fans are spinning quietly like they should. I'm wondering if it could be a RAM issue... some guy sold me two sticks that are supposedly the same brand and specs, but one is black and the other is green, and they look slightly different physically. Plus, I think they were manufactured a year apart. Right now, it usually hangs when I open YouTube and start typing stuff into the search bar, or sometimes just when I launch Chrome. When it freezes, even the reset button does nothing—I have to hold the power button down for like 5 seconds to force it off.
If anyone can help me out, I'd really appreciate it. I spent a decent amount of money on this rig and I'm pretty lost on what's actually wrong.
