Bought SSD for the wife.
She has a shitty prebuilt.
Unplugged the CD drive cables, plugged in the SSD and it won't let me give myself permissions. Not at home so I don't remember exactly what.
Essentially it won't let me do the thing every site and video says to do to fix it. Don't have permission to set permissions. It's strange.
Yeah it's logged in as admin etc

Okay I'm at a fucking loss. Lately my computer has started just instant reboot, no blue screen or anything, while playing PUBG (not consistently, sometimes I play for hours no problem, sometimes it happens back to back). I've tried doing everything. Ran Memtest for 8.5 hours last night no hours, I've tried stress testing the CPU and GPU, neither crashed (oinly ran each for like ~15m though). I've reset bios to default (minus ram speed/timing). Temps are high but not out of line (70-80c).
I'm rolling back my video driver now, because that might have been the same time I started getting the problem. I really don't know what else to try if the problem persists
Edit: the only thing Event Viewer has to say is the system recovered from an unexpected shutdown or something like that.

The worst thing is that I can't get it to crashes on its own. I have both prime 95 and furmark running at the same time and it's stable
I also ordered a ups, because I'm somewhat concerned it might be surges or something along those lines.
Hopefully when I get new PSU tomorrow that solves it, because this is frustrating

Id guess maybe it isn't overheating then and your card or CPU is drawing some extra voltage while gaming and dying. Not sure though

Okay so this might sound stupid, but whatever
New PSU installed. My temps decreased while playing PUBG. I've only played one game, so not a huge sample size, but before I was hitting 70-80c consistently. 3 of my 4 cores topped out at like 65c. Is it possible my PSU was faulty in a way that was pushing more power than it should, causing higher temps and the crashes?

An hour of playing and no crashes, sitting at ~60c while playing instead of like ~75c. Crazy that a bad power supply causes that much heat in addition to the crashes and stuff

Were the fans on the old PSU actually working? Depending on how your case is situated the PSU could be sitting on top so the intake fan for it sucks air from the interior of the case and the exhaust pushes it out the back. If either of those 2 fans failed the extra heat could stall out and stay in the case. If your case was set up such that the PSU sits on the bottom with the intake pulling from outside, and the exhaust pushing out the back then the extra heat it would produce from failing fans would only be radiating off the top (which would probably be less).

I mean it was 7 years old. I also wouldn't be surprised if it ate one or more surges from a lightning strike over the years, I do live in South Florida. I know at some point I had the HDMI ports on a TV and a GTX 680 get knocked out by lightning, can't recall if that was on that PSU or not

Need some help. Windows update seems to have broken my USB ports. Everything works while the computer is booting up, I'm able to hit delete to get into bios etc and my mouse is working in bios. As soon as I get to the windows login screen, all of the USB ports stop working. The backlight on my keyboard goes off, the lights on my mouse turn off etc, can't do anything. Can't type my password as the keyboard is not working. What can I do about this?
