    Some rather odd issues with my PC lately

    Hey guys,


    I've been having some odd issues with my PC lately. My specs are in my signature and I am running Windows 10. I've done a full scan for a virus or anything, but I've come out clean multiple times.

    These issues so far have been;

    - Firefox / Chrome sometimes turning into a black/orange screen which is fixed by minimizing them.
    - PC once booted up saying it was unable to read my SSD properly, it did boot but did not show any files.
    - PC going on but showing 'No Input' on both of my monitors. This was usually fixed after turning it off/on 2 to 3 times.
    - Critical errors in WoW daily, but after some googling I read that many AMD users have had this issue the past months so I don't directly link this to my PC.

    Last week I got in a infinite 'No Input' loop though. After opening my case and seeing if I could spot anything I saw my CPU fan was not spinning.

    I took my motherboard out to make sure it didn't short with my case, same story. Disconnected everything but my memory did not change anything either.

    Then I took out one of my ram sticks and the PC instantly boots, so I thought I found it. Popped it back in and it boots again.

    I then ran memtest86 for about 8 hours in a row with both memory sticks and came out with 0 errors. Then I ran memtest86 with both memory sticks individually for 4 hours each and 0 errors again.

    Then I just assembled it again and figured I'd just see if nothing would go wrong again. Since then, I've had WoW crash on me twice again (but once again, AMD drivers/W10/WoW don't seem to like eachother going by forums.

    Could this really be as simple as a memory stick being kind of 'loose' causing all sorts of issues or is something truely starting to die? This PC basically is a year old as I have replaced everything but my GPU/Memory/SSD. Aside from fixing the issue for now my PC also seems to have improved in speed. It did always recognize 8gb memory so this is why I find it kind of odd.
