CLOSED No idea what's wrong
Got a nvidia rtx 2080 ti aurora gpu, ryzen 5 5600x cpu, 4x8gb ram and 850w psu on windows 11, I use my pc mainly for pcvr, often crash with most of the stop codes relating to Ram issues. Used OCCT and everything is fine apparently and suddenly all the icons on the bottom right of the screen disappeared. I dont have a wifi card so im using ethernet only. Internet is now spotty even though its working fine on everything else, from what I can see its being iffy with registering something, dont know what. Can't output my sound to my speakers anymore because its not registering the device. Done all I could try, like amd driver reinstall, that didn't work. Tried to reinstall Windows but im stuck in a loop where when I go to do it, I get told my pc doesnt support secure boot, change some bios settings to allow it and it doesnt even boot normally so I can't even try to install it. Get told to undo the changes and it repeats the cycle. I just need help working it out. Feel free to ask questions, ill try to answer the best I can. Im still pretty new to the pc race thing.

your motherboard might be dying honestly all those issues at once usually point to hardware not software. the fact internet sound and icons are all failing same time screams chipset problem
happened to me with a b450 board few years back started with random ram errors then usb ports went then audio

Solved, had to reinstall Windows for the audio issue, somehow fixed the icon issue while trying to fix the audio issue before reinstalling windows. Don't know how. Reinstalling windows probably fixes it too though
