Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
When I was building a new computer a couple months ago I was having some strange problems as well. In the end I realized that my PSU could not handle my new parts. I don't know if your PSU is at fault in this situation but it is always something you could try. How many watts is your PSU rated...
I enjoy the work. You learn about computers through the process of building and tweaking and you usually end up with a really fast machine. The only reason I have a console is because I enjoy playing with my friends.
