Thanks Gardenman, Exactly what I was looking for. I do pay attention to the Radeon Adrenalin updates and update properly with AMD, and I read the release notes when the new drivers come out. I do manage the cache and I've used Windows features plenty. Thanks for your help.

So you think it should be avoided? There were only 2 sentences in my post, the 2nd sentence stated why I would use anything like that quite clearly I thought, sorry you missed it. I've had issues with my system that no forums or techs have been able to solve, including this one. My last step is...

I read on another forum that IObit programs are to be avoided, does anyone agree, disagree? Just looking for help keeping everything clean, up to date, and possibly catch issues I may miss.

Motherboard - AMD Prime 350M-A CPU - Ryzen 3 2200g - validated since Bios version 3203. I have bios version 5220 RAM - G.Skill 8Gb DS - Not on the list, Kingston 8Gb SS - Not on the list GPU - ATI Radeon RX Vega 56 - Not on List, there was only 12 AMD GPUs on the list, wtf? PSU - Gigabyte...

I just saw this now JohnBonhamsGhost, I will check into this. Thanks. Love the handle, huge AC/DC fan all my life, even a fan of Brian Johnson, haha.

The problem here lies in your inference of my words. I did not imply that you were a windows pro, I have dealt with windows pros, and they, along with the rest of the world, haven't heard of my issue, and that is what I said. I explained that I didn't REFUSE anything, or throw claims. My...

After hundreds of words detailing my experiences, REPORTING MY RESULTS, in 23 comments/replies over 6 days, just on this forum, nevermind the last few months I've spent elsewhere, I believe I've displayed interest in spending the time AND reporting results. I even said I would do what you...

Sorry, got busy. I haven't removed the GPU, I have used 3 different GPU's and had 2 of them tested and believe there is zero issues with the GPU's themselves. My system needs to have a GPU to operate the programs and games that I would like to. I'd replace the motherboard before going without...

I've never touched overclocking.

Ok, played TPH for about 30 minutes last night, got a BSOD, attempted write to read only memory. Used BlueScreenView.exe and found the driver atikmdag.sys in (c:/windows/system32/driverstore/filerepository/c0351505..../B351435) it is 64mb and it's an ATI Radeon kernel mode driver. I have no...

Ok, mem diag on all 3 sticks - no issues. Ran DISM and SFC scannow in Powershell, did the same thing, said it was able to repair some corrupt files. Restart, and the Owner Avatar loading screen endlessly loops. A little different this time, the screen stays on with the spinning dots for 31...

You are correct on your rundown of what I had. I have uninstalled the dual-channel 4gb sticks temporarily. I will be keeping those, and getting dual-channel to replace the single-channel soon. I wasn't able to work on the system to check if DISM & scannow causes the same issue, ran into other...

It's saying 16gb though, so doesn't that mean that it is recognizing the 3rd stick? If it wasn't recognizing it, wouldn't it report only 8gb? I'm not knowledgeable enough to know, just learning and asking questions, sometimes they are silly questions. haha

This brings up a thought that no one has brought up before. About a year ago I bought 8GB (2x4GB) Rip Jaws ram sticks. When I opened the system up, I was surprised to see a single stick 8GB that my computer guy had built the system with. I had planned on upgrading as I could afford, I was...

Windows mem diag tool returned nothing wrong with RAM. CHKDSK returns nothing wrong. Used AI Suite 3 & EZ Update and it said no need to update this environment. AMD Chipset is up to date. Installed by AMD not Windows. Looked in Event Viewer and it's like reading foreign language. I've been told...
