So far the new motherboard seems to work fine. We had an issue reactivating the Windows because the key wasn't linked to my account, so we had to buy a new one.
Now comes the tiring part of reconnecting some services (it kept the session for others, even if it was more than a month since I last used them on that pc).
I'm too tired from all this 💩, as I said in a previous post, I'm tired of PCs and generally online stuff. One wrong move or non-remembering and half your stuff are nearly gone...Why we created an era where humanity needs to be dependant on such stuff?

Again the issue appeared later yesterday. Three times. Now our suspicions turn towards the power outlet. On the same socket is also my room's A/C unit. It acts strangely lately, but I'm pretty sure the reason is irrelevant to what happens to the desktop. I changed the multi-sockets connectivity on that socket a bit, and we will try later with a new multi-socket (with voltage balance). Even though my suspicions about the CPU still exist, I hope it is indeed the power outlet's fault. We figured it may be that, due to the way the new motherboard handles the freezes. It freezes for half second before rebooting itself. For the previous motherboard, I had to manually hold the power button to close it.
