why are you replacing the power supply this is very important.

. Did your old one die? If you think it does and are replacing it with a new one that also doesn’t work - tha. It’s likely NOT a power supply issue refusing to turn your PC on. And a new one can’t fix what wasn’t broken.

If you bought a new one just because you felt like it or are getting a bigger video card - confirm the system still boots with the old psu for laughs.

Once you’ve done that install the new power supply. It’s common to just miss a cable or two when securing and this act of booting old psu confirms all the hardware still works and reinstalling new one reseats every cable from scratch.

Good luck.

Have you replaced your power supply. Almost Always the first step in random yet consistant crashes.

Are you using the media creation tool for windows or how are you making sure your usb for windows10 properly bootable

Right lets control your variables going forward.

Nothing will beat ethernet, and it removes all the issues of range, interference, band, etc

Your upload is kinda shitty but passable. If you have a house full of people working from home, all on video calls – I could see that being your problem on 5-15 mbps up — on 30 up you SHOULD be fine…however not ruling it out as your problem (how many people are in the house??)

​

the only things we can rule out super easy are range/interferance/band/wifi card (playstations wifi cards suck) – which we do by using an ethernet cable .

Now before we go any further you need to drop all the history of problems you’ve had in the past. The HARDEST part about me fixing network issues is getting people to accept that 9/10 times the issues are collective and present themselves to the end users a single problem.

Lets say you experiance ‘bad internet’ be it not able to load youtube videos, kicked from discord, kicked from lobby , what ever it is

Monday it might have been low upload bandwidth. Tuesday might have been a modem that needed to reboot. Wednsday might have been range/interferance. Thursday might have been PEAK issues when everyone gets home and gets online in your neighborhood, Friday might have actually been Sonys fault…all completely unrelated as their causes but all equally painting itself a single problem.

Our job is to figure out and fix all the ones we can control, so when the ones we cant control happen it deson’t frustrate us to our wits end.

all the old information is useless cause we do not know what caused issues in the past and for all I know it likely got incrementally better each time you tried a fix upgraded modem, tried ethernet, upgraded plan, etc - but we will get to the bottom of this.

​

So the first question to paint the biggest picture for me would be:

is this constant??

Besides the “20min it was okay” – is it near unplayable 24/7/365 – or is it fine until everyone comes home, or is it hit or miss on days.

USB cables can get confusing when you factor in random chargers and devices with all different power requirements. IE a ‘big’ laptop vs a little switch.

Your question though is weirdly worded and I’m having a hard time making sense of it.

Probably shouldn’t be connecting your switch to your laptop to charge - it’s likely not going to have the power output your switch and battery are expecting and either won’t work or damage the battery over time.

…but if you are saying your switch doesn’t work when you plug it into the wall charger that means either the charger is bad, the switches battery is bad , or the port on the switch is bad. Then it’s just about testing and confirming which is going on.

Either the card doesn’t support it, the drivers is ‘bad’ , or it’s failing.
