File corruption and random crashing
Hey everyone. I am absolutely ready to just build a new PC because I cant solve this issue.
I have a 10900k on a Strix Z490E, 64GB of DDR4 3600, MSI mag 1250wpsu (maybe the issue?) and an RTX 5090.
The issue im having is really strange. Ill be watching a youtube video and the page will crash. I can reload it and everything is fine but it will happen again. Typically after this happens my pc will blue screen at some point in the hours im using it. The other issue I have is with epic games and installing games. My nephew always wants to play fortnite and no matter what I do the game fails to install and validate. It always comes back as corrupt.
I just wiped my whole PC yesterday and installed a clean version of Windows 11 hoping this would fix my issue. Same shit is still happening. Its actually worse than it was before now. Windows updates are failing to install now.
I could go a week without having any issues at all and everything running fine. Then out of nowhere I will bluescreen 3 times in one day. Only to go back to everything working as normal. I can play games like Cyberpunk maxed out with path tracing for 8 hours straight and never have an issue. Same goes for many other games. The issue has only ever been with Fortnite or other games on epic failing to install. Also the random page crashes on youtube.
Like ive said, I wiped everything so all installs are new, and I even installed apps on different drives than previously to test if maybe it was a drive failure. Nothing has changed.
My initial thought is Ram related because of corrupt files, but maybe it could be the PSU? I know bad power delivery can really wreak havoc. I cant exactly remember if I ever had this issue before getting the MSI power supply but i think it started happening then. I also got my 5090 at the same time.
Any advice would really be appreciated, im not sure what to do at this point other than buy some parts and swap things out. Hoping someone had an issue like this in the past that they resolved and can give me an answer.
