System will run fine with Win 10. The processor is very dated though, but it should not really be a problem. It will still function with future updates. As for performance, maybe invest in a decent SSD and it will give your system longer life. I don't think a newer graphics card will push...

The RX 590 maybe a good choice. Or even something from Vega series. Will still be within budget.

You could also check whether it is clocking down when idle. It might be set to max frequency always which could be keeping your temps up. Set it to clock down to maybe 1200-1500 idle - might lower temps

You should see improved performance with the Ryzen. I hav seen guys running the same processor paired with a dated HD5770 (1GB) able to play Far Cry 5 with decent quality. The GTX 1050 will definitely see improvement.

I would go with the Ryzen 5 2600. You get a newer generation processor which is bound to get better with updates, and it performs fantastic in Gaming. Atleast for me.

I installed the CX600 PSU into my working computer and it seems not to do anything. I just have a steady amber light no other activity at all. I have tested the PSU with a paperclip and case fan and it worked well. The fan also switched on. But when I connect it to my motherboard all I get is a...

@brarboy, I have found an updated bios for the system as well as missed bios. I'm going to try both and see which works. Will post the rwsults - good or bad soon. Thanx for the help.

I have just tried replicating the problem on another PC. The issue seems to be, as suspected, the SATA mode. Changing between AHCI/SATA/IDE mode resolves then problem. Now if only I can get access to the advanced options on my notebook to make the changes. Any custom BIOS I can flash through...

Yes this is a notebook, with a very crappy BIOS. I'm 90% sure its an issue with the SATA mode. I just can't change it.

@bear boy, that was my original concern but the stupid bios on this PC doesnt allow me to get advanced options to change the HDD mode. The bios is InsydeH20 F.35 (ver 3.5) very basic/useless options are available.

@brarboy, I pulled the CMOS battery last night andthis morning iinserted it back But the error persists. I'm unable to read the BSOD error also, coz it won't get past the BIOS screen. The windows disc I am using is retail pack.

Thank youyou rdc85 for your reply. The HDD is ok as I was able to load Ubuntu live CD and copy all my files over. So I don't think its a HDD issue. Also I'm unable to do a reinstall as now the Windows setup doesn't detect the HDD and also recovery tools do not detect any OS to repair. Mem86+...

Hi Guys, Last night I formatted my hard drive and did a clean install of retail Windows 7 Pro. The installation completed copying files then asked for a restart as part of the installation process. On restart I get a BSOD at the animated windows logo screen, and the loop repeats. I have tested...
