Unfortunately, this did not pan out. I replaced the processor and still have the same issue. Maybe I got a bad motherboard. I will contact ASUS support and see what we can figure out.

Don't know why I didn't think of it before but I put a dedicated GPU in and everything worked flawlessly. From Ubuntu install to Radeon Software in Windows. Needless to say I've returned the processor. Just for thoroughness' sake, I will update once more, assuming this goes as planned, to...

So I was able to boot into a live Ubuntu environment. Since I didn't have anything in Windows yet, I figured I'd try the full install but kept hitting error after error and was not able to get the OS installed. So I installed Ubuntu on an old HDD I had and it installed on the first try. I did...

Well, the system is stable. 24 hours on Prime95 without issue and 4 passes on MemTest86 at 3000MHz with 0 errors. I cleared the CMOS with the jumper and reloaded the optimized BIOS defaults and ran MemTest86 again @2133MHz with no errors.. Everything seems solid and yet, as soon as I...

Yes, absolutely positive. I double checked it last night thinking maybe the update had not applied and Armoury Crate is currently reporting ver. 2423. DRAM is also reporting 2133 in Armoury Crate. Once Prime95 finishes (~11 hours left to the 24 hour mark), I can bump it up to 3000 to see what...

This is/was a clean install on a brand new drive. After Prime95 hits the 24 hour mark, I will assume the system is fully stable and I will attempt the Adrenalin 21.10.2 install again but, based on my experience last night, I can expect another BSOD. I've never had any issues either, which is...

I've updated the chipset with drivers from Asus: https://www.asus.com/us/motherboards-components/motherboards/tuf-gaming/tuf-gaming-b550-plus/HelpDesk_Download/ - these work without issue and are what is currently installed. If you believe I should try the AMD provided drivers instead, I can do...

System Configuration: Operating System: Windows 10 21H2 CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700G, no overclock Motherboard: Asus Tuf Gaming B550-Plus, current BIOS RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2X16GB) DDR4 3200 PSU: Corsair CX600M Hi All, I've recently built a new system for use as a Plex server (config...

Long story short: I did a clean install of Windows 10 and have been having nothing but issues. Drives not connecting, long lists of corrupted system files(sfc but not with dsim), driver software not working properly, programs not loading, and so on. After the 4th clean install (using...

I'll look into it when the drive is finished. I'd rather not lose all the progress it's made so far. However, I'm fairly certain it's set to AHCI as I'm using a Crosshair V Formula mobo, with stock SATA settings, and I didn't have the speed issue with the 2tb drive I installed last year...

I have the same drive. It's the drive. It's a 5900rpm drive, and 4gbs, so I figured it would take a while. I'm nearing 24 hours and have only made it to 60%. This drive is connected directly to the mobo, so your icy dock may be bottle-necking a little, but the drive absolutely does format...

Turns out, it was a faulty CPU cooler. I replaced it with a 212 EVO and everything works fantastically.

Recently, I decided to overclock my FX-8150 processor, rather than buy a new one. So, I replaced the stock fan/heatsink with a Cooler Master Hyper 212+, and I replaced the stock fan on it with 2 JetFlos in a push/pull configuration. I reapplied the thermal paste, after a thorough cleaning, put...

For those interested, I seemed to be able to fix the problem by discharging the capacitors. Unplugging the system and hitting the power button, then plugging it back in and rebooting seemed to do the trick. I even had the same lockup cause the same issue and as soon as I discharged the...
