Hi, I've had this PC for almost a year now and for the most part everything seems fine, however there does seems to be an issue that comes up after a longer gaming session. After about 4 hours+ of gaming the audio will cut out, start going choppy, or do a high pitched squeal and the mouse will start to lag. Also if iCue is running at the time the fan LEDs will be throw out of sync and become choppy too.
I've had this happen during Alyx, God of War, Shadow of Mordor, Cyberpunk and The Talos Principale but it's hard to replicate/troubleshoot as it requires a longer gaming session than I normally do so I've just put up with it. On a few occasions the mouse has continued to lag on the desktop after coming out of the game and after restarting the PC but then it just seems sort itself out after a while. I did get my first BSOD today when things started to go funny during Alyx (stop code: driver IRQL not less or equal, what failed: USBXHCI.SYS) although I'm unsure if this is related to my main issue or just bad timing. Any help would be appreciated.
