Hi I am an old school PC Builder and Gamer from the old days of Windows 95 up to Windows 11 24H2. I have been dissed and some of my posts have been removed from people here who don't understand the progressions of the various Windows OS's up today or my methods of solving software and Hardware...

Hi just a suggestion maybe try resetting the CMOS first then try running the PC at default settings and see if it still give issues and BSOD's. You can tweak your system for high performance later once you find the cause of the many crashes. If the system is stable running on default...

In my experience with brand new builds I found that running the Motherboard GPU and CPU at stock default settings for the first run with games etc has worked best for me. Then tweak the system gradually for best performance but stay within the hardware's operating parameters. I use Auto...

I thought in the beginning it would be an enjoyable experiment to get an old OS up and running not as my main OS, but to have an experience like driving a classic car. You take it out for a drive once in a while. Then it gets parked once again. Today I am using a modern PC with Windows 11 24H2...

Hi, what happens if you run the system at default settings? Does it still give issues? Reset the CMOS and try it at default settings the motherboard RAM GPU etc. Without all of the system stress tests. I have been building systems for 25 yrs productivity and high performance gaming rigs...

Best to have the original BIOS file backed up before updating with a stable BIOS update file in case of a problem so the board does not end up being bricked.

Hi in my experience with high performance gaming graphic cards, I found that reducing the power target level puts less stress on the card in heavy gaming. Your card is rated for between 60 degrees and 80 degrees Celsius during gaming loads. Temps near or at 100+ degrees can cause throttling...

Hi, once you have chosen your motherboard, update to latest BIOS with Instructions on how to Flash the BIOS. The initial board settings will be default. You can tweak it later for your games and apps. Take your time don't miss any steps. Make sure ALL power connections from the PSU to all...

Sorry wrong area to post. Forgive me.

Just food for thought, with all of the modern technology these days why are so many people having so many problems and issues with the brand new PC's??? It keeps sites like this in business I guess. The last AM4 build I put together 3 yrs ago is still running well. Its setup for auto...

Thank you Sir, This PC will run W10 and W11 with no issues. The CPU has the SSE 4.2 Instruction Set. I really enjoy the W7 environment. It's like driving a classic car. Cheers from the old school PC builder and Gamer.
