Another crash on the new Windows install on the second SSD - BSoD with black background, error was KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED Again had the weird behaviour where on restart it failed to boot - error says 'Setup Confirmation: EFI PXE 0 for IPv4 (54-05-DB-7A-69-AD) boot failed.) This part is...

Had another couple of crashes with no blue screen, just locked up with sound locking where it was making a loud, deafening note, then forced restart. Also had another crash with a normal blue screen with blue background and HYPERVISOR_ERROR I've now tried isolating both sticks of RAM with no...

And just had another one, both times were 5-10 minutes after starting up a game. Same again - bluescreen layout and sad face emoji but with a black background. This time the error was MEMORY_MANAGEMENT

Hi, took a minute but I've just formatted, deleted all partitions and reinstalled Windows 11 using the USB I created with the Media Creation Tools. The laptop seemed fine for the first hour or so of use, but I just got another crash. This time it looked like a Blue Screen but the background was...

I've ordered a USB drive and will do that as soon as it arrives. I'll update if the errors continue afterwards. Thanks for your help, I really appreciate you walking me through this. It's such an amazing, selfless service that people like you provide on these forums! :)

I just removed it, and the added SSD is still out of the laptop, so it's now back to factory hardware as it was when I bought it. I thought I'd have to wait a while to report back, but nope, an instant crash about 10 seconds after booting it back up! This time, there was a blue screen. The...

Actually, thinking about it I'm not sure I have the means to reinstall Windows after formatting the C: drive - I don't have access to a USB drive or CD currently...

Thanks so much for the reply! The laptop only came with a single 500GB SSD in the first slot, the second slot was empty. The SSD that was already present in the first slot had no partitions. The second stick of RAM isn't identical but I took great care to make sure it matched, ordering from Mr...

Hi, I've had this Lenovo Legion 5P since January 2021, and in the last couple of months it's started having issues. Since buying it new, I have added a SanDisk 500GB SSD in the D: Drive slot and an additional 8GB or Samsung RAM. It regularly has Blue Screen crashes, with a variety of different...

Found a few ASUS fans online, but not certain if they'll fit the card, or if the whole heatsink needs replacing... Could just the bearing be replaced?

Hi, I have an ASUS EAH4550 in my PC and for a while now the fan has been grinding incredibly loudly. I've taken in out and can't see any obvious damage, tried blowing compressed air through the heatsink, taken the bearing out and re-oiled it but the noise continues. Have searched for a...

I know it's a crappy old card, but I'm a poor student trying to make this PC last as long as possible, I've picked out a laptop to replace it with if the graphics card does go (I've been wanting to switch from desktop to laptop for a long time anyway) but if I can keep it going for a while...

Hi, I have a Mesh custom PC with an ATI Radeon HD4550. For a few months, the fan on the card was having issues (weird noises, slowing down/stopping etc.) but everything seemed to be working fine still so I ignored it. A few days ago, however, both of the attached monitors began to have a...
