RAM changed,
and the culprit is the CPU.
I have never seen such behaviour of a cpu, it was either faulty - not able to boot, physically damaged, bent pins, burnt etc. OR it worked as it should.
so that's it.
Update:
So I bought used MB and tried it.
And guess what - the issue persists (however I cannot guarantee that the MB is not faulty, but I doubt it).
The only thing left to do is to use completely different RAM (I will do that tomorrow) and then the only constant used in all variations will...
Thanks for the replies.
I was able to get my hands on another psu, switched it and the problem persists...
the m.2 is a couple of months old and I tried the system with another hdd so the problem lies elsewhere..
Hardware failure detected! Test stopped. It does that with AVX turned on...
Hi everyone,
I am looking for your opinion and expertise.
Recently my PC has become very unstable.
I have been building PCs for over two decades and always had spare parts laying around to test if a problem came up in the past.
Few years ago I got fed up with all that, sold all spare parts...
