PC glitches, freezes, and audio went crazy when it happens

Let’s sort one issue out at a time, once we get the overheating handled we will look at how to fix your BSOD errors.

@veeg can mark this as pending for you until you get the new thermal paste and apply it.

Alright, I’ve replaced the thermal paste.

Actually I think I might’ve fixed the whole issue unintentionally
I replaced the thermal paste yesterday, and since then idle temperature is running around 51°. After that I cleaned everything else for parts while consulting a local workshop. Turns out, dirty RAM sticks can make that bad of an issue! It got some dust disturbing it’s connection to the ports. My PC now runs marginally better and without the glitch/BSOD.

So far no issues after the cleaning “fix”. Performance is expected. Idle and working temperature goes around 50-55, and no BSOD/screen glitch and system crash

good news.
I’ll close this as solved.
feel free to PM any staff member if you would like this thread re-opened for updates.
