Since a couple days ago, my PC has been acting a bit funny. But this happens really randomly:
- The system freezes and is uncontrollable when crashing.
- Displays weird static screen.
- If music is played, it becomes a disturbing stuttering/buzzing sound.
- Sometimes it would be crashing right at the time my PC just started.
- I can be using my PC for hours without it crashing, sometimes 10 minutes or 20 minutes, but eventually it will crash again.
- I have to restart my PC every time this happens but sometimes my PC reboots itself.
This is a screenshot to describe the case:
My specs:
- Windows 10 Pro 21H1
- GPU: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600
- CPU: i5-4590
- RAM: 8GB DDR3
- Monitor: Dell
Here is what I have tried to do so far to fix the problem:
- I have run the DirectX Diagnostic Tool, the notes section shows no problems found.
- I have also run Windows Memory Diagnostic, no problems found.
- Have not done anything with the CPU so far because I have never dealt with a hardware problem before and don't want to cause any damage either.
It can't be the cable as this happens randomly. I'm sure that it should be the motherboard. Does that mean it has something to do with RAM?
UPDATE: I just updated my IGPU driver but still didn't fix it

SOLVED: I cleaned up my RAM sticks and RAM slots and that fixed it.
