Hey, everyone!

I am having an issue with my PC that I just can't seem to get to the bottom of. Randomly, the following things happen:

• my RGB fans (NZXT, controlled by NZXT Cam) turn white

• taskbar becomes completely unresponsive, nothing I click does anything, it just shows the click animation

• task manager won't open anymore, Win + R does nothing

• no programs in the system tray open (Steam, AMD Adrenalin, etc.)

The only thing I can do is turn it off by long-pressing the case button - just pressing once does nothing, and the Windows taskbar menu won't open. After turning it back on, it's running fine - for a while.

Things I've tried:

• updating drivers and Windows to the latest version

• checked event viewer for any errors (had a few related to GameInput and an older version of AMD Ryzen Master, fixed them)

• checked health of my SSD and HDD, they're both fine

• ran two commands in Command Prompt (don't remember their name right now, but they are commonly recommended)

I am at my wit's end - the only things I have not tried are a BIOS update or a full reinstall.

Any other suggestions on what I could try or what could be happening?

Thank you!
