If installing the ethernet drivers don’t work, you might have to replace that chip.

It’s likely a false positive that got quarantined. I wouldn’t worry much other than replacing McAfee with some other software.

When the .ISO image is burned to the USB, problems can occur. It’s better if you start the process from scratch.

If you want to save files from your PC, do so first though. It’s highly recommended that you get a new image from the Media Creation Tool, then proceed with attempting to repair from the USB.

An external disk will be very handy here too. Or another internal one for that matter.

This is all going to take a while, so grab some tea, coffee, hot chocolate, etc. It’s going to be alright.

Hmm… Don’t think there’s too much hope here, could be the CPU, could also be the PSU, I’m wondering if there’s something wrong about these EVGA G2/G3s where this is a reoccurring thing, I could be wrong.

It’s almost better starting from scratch with newer components, but let’s try a few things.

Just to rule out faulty disks, disconnect everything, run a new disk /w a brand new OS and stress test that. See if that relieves any HW issues.

I think it’s 2 things:

• (most likely) PSU is ready for a swap
• Shorts, is something touching the mobo pins? Are the CPU coolers metal fins touching the GPU? Are the front panel headers bad? 100 reasons, but you get the gist of it.

Stutters constantly you say? Could you check that RTX 2060’s temperatures in HWmonitor or similar software?

It sounds like it’s overheating if it was running fine.
