The problems:


-Videogames crash on a regular basis, at random points after launch, either 2 mins or 20 mins

-For example, when Destiny 2 crashes it tell me to "Verify integrity of game files" via steam, which never works

-Unable to download programs off the internet, such as GeForce experience, discord, chrome, Java

-Websites will not load, such as YouTube or the discord website

-PC refuses to factory reset under the setting "Reset this PC", always says "Undoing changes" after an attempt

-Hard drive refusing to be formatted, hence it isn't showing up in "This PC", receiving error code "0x00000057"

-Problems persist even after reinstallation of windows


What I have tried:


-I have replaced my SSD, which previously had windows on it, and reinstalled windows on the new one - no change

-Replaced RAM sticks - no change

-Replaced motherboard - no change

-Reinstalled windows via USB a handful of times - no change

-Attempted factory reset via settings - failed

-Fully cleaned PC of dust - no change


Possible leads:


-Running "sfc /scannow" via CMD always returns "Windows resource protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them" after every consecutive windows reinstallation

-I have a brother, who also happens to have a PC, and so I plugged my new SSD with windows on into his computer, and everything ran fine, downloads and websites, leading me to believe this may be a hardware problem

-Could instead be the CPU, since replacing the motherboard did nothing to help, however I ran the intel processor diagnostic tool, and everything came out fine after it completed its scan

-Do not think its the GPU, because I ran my PC using intel graphics and the problems persisted


Other:


-Problems have been occurring for 2 weeks as of writing this

-Windows always reinstalled using a USB


PC specs:


-CPU: i7 8700

-GPU: RTX 2070

-RAM: 2x 8GB Trident Z

-Motherboard: MSI Z390-A PRO

-SSD: Sabrent 1TB

-HDD: 2TB

-Windows 10 Home, version 2004


Any help would be MASSIVELY appreciated as this has been preying on my mind for too long now.


Many thanks :)
