Windows 10: PC is having strange problems, websites not loading, games crashing, cannot do any...

The problems:


-Videogames crash on a regular basis, at random points after launch, either 2 mins or 20 mins

-For example, when Destiny 2 crashes it tell me to "Verify integrity of game files" via steam, which never works

-Unable to download programs off the internet, such as GeForce experience, discord, chrome, Java

-Websites will not load, such as YouTube or the discord website

-PC refuses to factory reset under the setting "Reset this PC", always says "Undoing changes" after an attempt

-Hard drive refusing to be formatted, hence it isn't showing up in "This PC", receiving error code "0x00000057"

-Problems persist even after reinstallation of windows


What I have tried:


-I have replaced my SSD, which previously had windows on it, and reinstalled windows on the new one - no change

-Replaced RAM sticks - no change

-Replaced motherboard - no change

-Reinstalled windows via USB a handful of times - no change

-Attempted factory reset via settings - failed

-Fully cleaned PC of dust - no change


Possible leads:


-Running "sfc /scannow" via CMD always returns "Windows resource protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them" after every consecutive windows reinstallation

-I have a brother, who also happens to have a PC, and so I plugged my new SSD with windows on into his computer, and everything ran fine, downloads and websites, leading me to believe this may be a hardware problem

-Could instead be the CPU, since replacing the motherboard did nothing to help, however I ran the intel processor diagnostic tool, and everything came out fine after it completed its scan

-Do not think its the GPU, because I ran my PC using intel graphics and the problems persisted


Other:


-Problems have been occurring for 2 weeks as of writing this

-Windows always reinstalled using a USB


PC specs:


-CPU: i7 8700

-GPU: RTX 2070

-RAM: 2x 8GB Trident Z

-Motherboard: MSI Z390-A PRO

-SSD: Sabrent 1TB

-HDD: 2TB

-Windows 10 Home, version 2004


Any help would be MASSIVELY appreciated as this has been preying on my mind for too long now.


Many thanks :

:)

 

Gta 4 crashing constantly

Sup everyone, i seem to be having a very annoying problem. I purchased gta 4 recently and i installed it and it runs quite well, my system is listed in my specs. The problem with the game, is that about +/- 5 minutes of playing, the screen gets funny coloured squares and my whole pc crashes. I have xp sp3 installed. I have tried numerous things like clocking my cpu back to stock but to no avail. My pc is not overheating, thats for sure, i dunno. My mate just told me that it might just be a bug, but it seems strange that i bug in the game would cause my whole pc to crash. Any suggestions?

 

Pre-loaded games won't uninstall

I'm not really into some of the games that were pre-loaded into my PC but when I try to bring up the games from the Start menu and click on 'uninstall' it takes me to the control panel, and I don't see the games listed there for me to uninstall. Suggestions, please? Thanks! ~P

 

I am having problems with pc crashes when pc is under load when i play games

Hi,

Your computer may crash if it experiences program conflicts. While we're analyzing the files that you uploaded, we'd like some more information that can help us resolve your concern. We just have a few questions for you:

• Did you make any recent changes to your computer, especially before this started happening?
• Did you get any specific error codes when your computer crashed? For example, WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR. If yes, please post a screenshot.
  
• Just to confirm, does this happen only when playing a specific game, or does this also happen when using other apps, like browsers?
  

As an initial recommendation, we suggest performing a clean boot to find out if this behavior is caused by a third-party program. You can follow the steps in this

article to do it. This will load Windows with minimal drivers and programs, preventing software conflicts from occurring. If your computer doesn't crash when you're in a clean boot environment, check the section
How to determine what is causing the problem after you do a clean boot for what to do next.

Note: To return your computer back to normal, check the section
Reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting.

We'll wait for your response and the result of the initial troubleshooting.
