Seems after restarting twice, my PC launched perfectly fine into Windows! Will update if anything has gone wrong.

I was updating from Win 10 to 11 using the installation program, does that change anything? I don't want to delete any files I had.

I was upgrading to Windows 11 last night, it was at 98% but taking so long and I had to sleep so I turned my pc off by selecting Shut Down. Today I boot and it boots to a black screen with a single line in the top left corner. Holding the power button to shut down doesn't work. What's...

Bit of a weird one here :ROFLMAO: Just built this PC for my brother: MOBO: B450F GAMING ATX PSU: 650W 80+ NZXT GPU: 3060ti CPU: 3700x RAM: 16GB DDR4 3200Mhz RAM It works perfectly well, no crashes or BSOD... but it does not start in the morning. It's winter here and about 8-13 celsius...

Thank you. I don't think it is a problem with incompatibility, moreso a corrupt BIOS that is in need of a reset. Remember the parts have been used in different PCs in the past.

Update= It's gotten a lot more stable. Installed Drivers. Monitoring programs. Updated Bios, chipset etc. Enabled XMP. All working fine. Only issue that remains is when performing the Windows Update, one of the updates fails and gives this error = 0x800f0900

The Gigabyte B550m Micro Atx

Hi all. Long story short I've built a PC using the MOBO and PSU of a prebuilt I bought this year, combined with some old parts I've used in different PCs. (GPU, CPU, RAM, Drives). It POST'd perfectly fine, Windows installation fine, but while installing Windows Updates it stopped POSTing. The...

Yep, internet is fast. We underclocked his GPU massively and he hasn't crashed since. What does that tell you?

Thanks for replying! Temps should be still fine, we tested them repeatedly not long ago, and I forgot to mention he has a 240 Corsair AIO. We'll be monitoring temps today to be sure though. No we have not! Bingo, Overwatch crashed and this was the error log: The program Overwatch.exe version...

My friends PC can't stop crashing in almost every game we play, Overwatch, Paladins, Fortnite (the worst one), GTA 5, CS:GO. The crashes happen randomly, sometimes when launching the game, and sometimes midway through a match. He doesn't get the BSOD, but the game simply crashes and he's...

Just BSOD again on 3200mhz speed RAM. Dump File WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR (124) A fatal hardware error has occurred. Parameter 1 identifies the type of error source that reported the error. Parameter 2 holds the address of the WHEA_ERROR_RECORD structure that describes the error conditon. Try...

How would I list my dump file? The MB does have trouble shooting LEDS. It goes between d3 and F8 a lot. D3 = Some of the architectural protocols are not available F8 = Recovery PPI is invalid. RAM is Corsair Vengeance Pro 3600mhz 2x8 BIOS and chipset are at latest versions, guaranteed.

Hi all. Just got the 5900x, updated my BIOS, installed new chipset drivers, and it's been giving me the BSOD with the error code WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR. I played Valorant & Rise of The Tomb Raider, both games give me BSOD. I played Apex Legends and Among Us and no BSOD. GPU: 2070 super RAM...

I'll try that. I don't have extra parts unfortunately and because we're in a lockdown I can't use my friends parts. Can you tell me why my MOBO speaker won't beep when I boot with no RAM? Isn't that a sign the motherboard is faulty? I agree, it has to be the CPU or Motherboard. On the other...
