Hi friends, first time posting here. The last few months I've had a weird pseudo-crash start happening. The giveaway is that I completely lose my Internet and my mouse stops working. The rest of my PC continues to function normally, but my Internet and my mouse will not be fixed until I hard restart my computer.

It tends to happen most often, maybe even exclusively, with some of the more demanding games. I've got 16 gigs of RAM and a 3060 TI and a Ryzen 5 3600, but I'm only playing at 1080p and I'm not trying to max the game settings out. And the game keeps running, too. It's just the Internet and mouse. Everything else continues to function. Event Viewer doesn't show anything so it's not like I can drop you guys an error code. The only thing that really stands out is Task Manager reporting a mid 70% memory usage with the games in question and Discord being the only big things taking any up.

Does anybody have a clue to what could be going on?
