So lately my pc has been acting up.
First it started off with USB ports failing, all of them.
My pc was still running as in not frozen but all my USB devices were not operable.
I usually could get out of it by hitting my power button to shut of pc.
Now its getting worse. I'll shut it off that way and now it'll just black out (the monitors that is) while its still running.
I'm not getting any BSOD or errors of any kind to indicate a crash or that something is acting up.
So I decided to take my pc outside and clean it out. This seems to help. I'm writing this as we speak no hiccups been solid for about 8 hours now.
What could be causing this?
I'd like to note that I have a samsung SSD that has issues (formly patched by samsung but never really fixed hardware wise). NOw that my SSD is low on free space I'm wondering if its struggling to apply the halfassed patch by samsung. But I'm not sure if the issues I'm having are indicative of such an issue.
Another note is that my PSU is like from 2007 or 2009.
