It Bluescreened and didn't recognize neither the M.2 nor the hard drive so went into the BIOS. Simply unplugging and replugging solved that and it started back up. I don't know why it did this, I did recently update the BIOS, so maybe there's a bug in the new BIOS. We'll see. The other two...

Another freeze, just after coming out of sleep.

Update: It froze again this morning. I believe this is the first time since I got the new CPU in, so after a month of no problems whatsoever. It was playing a video and the screen suddenly froze and the sound just buzzed until I forced the computer off. There was no reaction to mouse or...

Update: I took the M.2 drive out and reseated it (or reinstalled it physically) and the computer then started right back up. Still, this is nerveracking as I'm afraid this computer is going to blow up or something at some point. But hopefully it keeps working!

MOBO: Gigabyte H610M S2H DDR4 (Rev 1.3) STORAGE: Samsung 970 EVO MZ-V7E2T0 2TB CPU: Intel Core i5-12400T w/ integrated graphics RAM: Crucial 8GB Single DDR4 3200 MT/s CT8G4DFS832A PSU: SilverStone SST-TX300 300 W TFX I will try reseating the M.2 but I don't understand why it worked for 3 weeks...

Well, the computer has been running for 24 hours without freezing. I guess we can call it a win. I ended up buying Windows 10 Home from Microsoft too. Well, I hope I don't ever have a new computer with these kinds of problems ever again! Thank you @Bob.B , @oAi and @Dark Lord of Tech for all...

Victory? So I got the replacement CPU, and so far it's not freezing. I've gotten to install Windows, which I couldn't do before. I'm still nervious. I'll just have to keep running the computer until I'm sure it won't freeze up like before. One sad note, in trying to keep this computer on the...

Here we go again! So I finally got time to install the replacement MoBo and so far so..... It froze! 37% into the "Getting files ready for installation" and it froze! One thing I'm doing differently is I'm now trying a new M.2 drive. This one, just like the RAM and CPU are on Gigabyte's...

Unimportant update: I got the replacement MoBo in. Sadly I won't be able to test it out this week. I also got in yet another storage, a Samsung EVO NVME drive, which is the one I had ordered for this computer.

Update: I have started the return on the MoBo. The replacement should be in by Monday, hopefully. Question: Should at least try out the current CPU with the new MoBo and see if that solves it, Or is there a chance that if the CPU is deffective it could damage the MoBo and so I should order...

Ya. I really liked this computer case, but it's a TFX only case. I tried to buy the best PSU I could find, but there don't seem to be many options for this size.

The CPU I got in used condition off eBay for $100. I already told the seller I'm having problems and they said they'd be fine with a refund or a replacement. A Core i5 12400T costs $70 more over on Amazon, but brand new and it's rated at just slightly higher power draw (74W instead of 69W Max...

This motherboard doesn't have a RAID option. It's an H610 chipset, so no RAID.

Oops! Let me check! I can't seem to find any SATA/AHCI settings in the BIOS. There's a SATA configuration menu, but it only allows me to enable/disable the SATA controllers, the Agressive LPM Support, each port, DevSlp, and Hot Plug. The BIOS has a search function and I typed AHCI and nothing...

Update: Tried a different SATA data cable (from a working computer) in the same port -STILL CRASHED AND REBOOTED Tried that different SATA data cable in a different port (2nd port) -STILL FROZE On 3rd SATA port on MoBo and it... CRASHED AND REBOOTED On last SATA port it... opened up a portal to...
