Background: Back in October I did a series of hardware upgrades to combat my very hot and angry CPU. These included new liquid cooling system, additional case fans and switching from thermal paste to liquid metal. Worked like a charm and my cpu temps have never been so low. While doing that I decided to finally migrate to windows 10 on a new SSD with a fresh install. Work fine for the first week maybe and then a lot of different issues started happening.
The problems:
1. First I used my old wireless usb stick for internet, USB port/drivers would crash randomly, losing internet and I would have to unplug the stick and re-insert. This would happen randomly, sometimes no issues for hours and then non-stop issues.
2. Use drivers across the board would completely crash causing my mouse, keyboard and anything else to shut off and reboot after 30 seconds. This seems to happen randomly like in the first issue.
3. Display Drivers/card crashing so hard that it reboots my computer
The problem solving and failures:
1. The Netgear wireless usb is old and I have read about issues with this particular model and win 10 not getting along. Despite downloading driver compatibility for windows 10. Probably time to get a new one.
2. My Mouse and keyboard are both Razer brand devices. While I like the hardware I hate....hate hate hate Razer Synapse the software that runs it. Nothing but issues with it and in win 7 as well. The mouse and keyboard are about 5-6 old and not compatible with Razer Synapse 3 but are with Synapse 2. Both are terrible buggy software and the developers should be put into the basket and beaten silly.
3. The Graphics card is a Radeon 580X 8GB. Never had an issue and did not have an issue until a few weeks ago. I cannot seems to get a baseline for the crashes. Before I thought it was tied to a specific game and maybe was a issue with that game in particular. I have tried rolling back the drivers, clean uninstall and installing the latest drivers nothing work. Now AMD Catalyst crashes sitting at my desktop with nothing running.
Some other ideas was that the power supply was old/failing and heavy pull of power was causing BSOD. I thought that was the case for booting up heavy graphics games because the computer would be pulling much more power and not having it. Now the card/drivers crash in idle sitting at my desktop doing nothing. Unless my hardware decided to start failing at the same time I installed windows 10 I am inclined to believe that this is a software issue. Bios is up to date afaik and I am just a loss if this is a single issues or multiple smaller issues causing a bigger issues.
Thoughts? Prayers? Hopes? and suggestions are welcome.
Personal Rant: Dear God I hate windows 10 and everything it represents. The lack of owner/user agency, the "app" store, cortana spyware, mircosoft edge, product adds, information collection and gathering. The fact I have to registry edit to turn off windows automatic updates.
