It was the motherboard, thanks for your help Darkbreeze. I don't know how to mark this as solved but if I can I'll select you

I am having my brother help me with a new board installation on Friday and thankfully my old board is still covered under warranty so it will be going back if the new board solves my problems. I just thought I’d mention that as it seems strange the problems start once I restart. I’ll report...

Any ideas what might cause this Darkbreeze? - I just booted the PC for the first time today and the boot time was like the old days, within 10-15secs of pressing the power button I was on the windows screen, everything was instant, there was no freezing/stuttering/lagging at all and I even...

Title says it all, I’m looking for some highly recommended AM5 motherboards from the community Thanks

The problem is far beyond gaming now, I can't even use the PC as it freezes even idle

No luck with removing the storage devices. Another thing to note is it now takes 20 seconds between pushing my power button and my keyboard/monitor lighting up whereas it’s used to be maybe 5 seconds. Does this also lean towards a problem with the motherboard?

Thanks for the advice. If it ends being a case of a new board are there any particularly good AM5 sockets motherboards you'd recommend?

Ok I will try this when I get home, I assume with all Harddrives/SSDs disconnected I will still be able to access the BIOS - hopefully with an improvement of speed indicating that the storage devices might be the issue. Couple things to mention - When I was on last night I was monitoring...

Man why are you so angry? You don’t have to help me EVGA Supernova 850 G6 Power Supply, 80 Plus Gold 850W, Fully Modular, Includes Power on Self Tester

Is already disabled

As the BIOS hard reset & updates didn't work this is sounding highly likely. Would these affect start up times? As I am recently sitting on the boot screen for 10 mins or so. I am guessing you'd recommend trying to get a different CPU or RAM to see if that improves things. I'm leaning away...

I have an EVGA Gold 850 PSU. I have just updated every chipset, storage, network driver etc. including updated my BIOS (Which took around 2hrs) which was 2 years out of date. My PC is even worse. The entire thing freezes/stutters constantly, even scrolling down to reply to this comment. If I...

Not Overclocking Idle: GPU 55C, CPU 45C 50% I think it might be my motherboard failing; To boot my PC it can sometime take 5-10mins to get past the AORUS boot screen and into Windows screen, especially if I restart. 3 of my 7 fans aren't spinning. I can't listen to audio without is...

Hardware: Motherboard: X670 AORUS Elite AX CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X GPU: AMD Radeon 6800 RAM: 32GB DDR5 2400Mhz I get crazy stuttering when playing new games even when I play in 1080p with gaphics on medium. This was noticed most recently on Black Ops 6, it was unplayable. I recently...

Hey man thanks for your help. It ended up being a network problem, just thought I'd let you know in case you need to help others in the future
