Hello. So my PC has been having several different issues lately. My game crashed a couple times when I got to the most action (and thus, Iโd assume, the most resource-intensive). My SSD was almost full so I installed a new one and cleared space on the one the game (Final Fantasy 14) is installed on and havenโt had that happen anymore. But one thing is that I do play with a controller (either via Xbox Controller Wireless Adapter or USB cable) and a headset, and if the controller or headset becomes disconnected so that the audio is forced to switch sources from controller headset to speakers, it crashes the game.
Another issue is that several buttons/links across many programs and websites (Steam, Origin and others) donโt do anything when I click on them. I donโt know much about computers but it seems like itโs sometimes when the button is like, idk, graphical? Or maybe running off of some kind of Flash process haha idk. But anyways, another thing to note is that I have always gotten a notification at startup that my BIOS needs to be updated and Iโve always put it off cuz Iโve been afraid to and not sure how. Could the BIOS being out of date/still factory from a few years ago be causing all this? Iโve also had several other miscellaneous, isolated issues that are hard to gather atm, and hard to say if thereโs a pattern cuz I donโt use PC that frequently and only use it for a few select games sometimes. Basically, how do I test/diagnose each individual component to make sure they are all performing perfectly fine and how they should be? To rule out any CPU/GPU/HDD/BIOS issues, etc? Thank you!
Edit: Also, now Iโm getting an error when trying to start a game (Apex Legends) that says CreateFile failed with 32.
Edit 2: I canโt even click the shut down button in the windows menu omg.
