Splash screen delay, windows crashing randomly.
I built a new PC. All of my components for this build were new except for my SSD and RAM. The system ran smoothly for the first few months. No crashes, hangups, or BSOD. The only issue was that it would occasionally beep. It wouldn't do it often; seemed to be totally random. One single beep that could be heard through the speakers. It would make the noise when I woke the computer up from sleep. I didn't really think too much of it until now.
Last month, I installed a new GPU into the machine. Used it for about a month with no apparent issues.
Recently, the computer has been having some issues. I believe it all started after I hooked up my android phone to the PC. I plugged the USB cable into a USB hub. Upon doing my first data transfer, the computer froze midway through the transfer. After I rebooted, the computer froze when loading the splash screen.
I ended up reinstalling the drivers for my phone, using a new USB cable, and hooking it up directly to a USB3 port on my motherboard. The phone appears to be interacting with the PC now. I was able to transfer my photos, etc.
The computer is still having issues though. Occasionally it pauses at the splash screen. It doesn't do it after every reboot. Most of the time it makes it though.
Today when I woke my computer up from sleep, it crashed again.
I feel like either my new GPU or my phone caused the issue. So far I've checked the memory with Memtest and ran chkdsk.
Anyone have any thoughts as to what's going on?
