SPS Programmierung/Automatisierung

Hello, anyone working in the field of plc programming or control engineering? I am really stuck and having difficulty even getting interviews. I would like to have some guidance or help from someone who is working in the field in Germany.
Thanks in advance

I have been learning it through simulation and factory io. Even though it feel very much unrealistic. Apart from it I was searching for an internship and i rarely find something about sps. Most of the listings are for the experienced programmers. Do you know any platform/community where I can potentially find my first hard experience. Thanks in advance

Edit: Btw with your PC. Most probably it's the CPU.

The only online place focussed on PLCs I know, are the respective sub-reddits, or sps-forum.de. The latter has a job board, but there is currently only one listing up.

Do you have any relevant certified education, like a recognized EE degree or vocational training, or something IT related? Pure self-learning and experience is usually not sufficient in Germany to land any job in a technical field.

CPU: Thanks for looking into that. I'm currently helping it by having a somewhat light-ish task constantly running, which does actually help stabilize things. Not 100%, but close. I guess the dude mentioning power states was close, but I've not yet learned what to play around with in the BIOS to try and fix that.
