Interesting. YouTube Channels ... Level1Techs, JayzTwoCents, GamersNexus, LinusTechTips, PaulsHardware, etc. all said it was just so-so in performance for their reviews and tests. I do know the Power Savings and temps were great, but performance was just okay.

So I think I maybe go it ... but it's still hard to fix. many sources out there saying different things. I believe it's the power plan, when switching it to "high performance" it happens. In balanced it doesn't happen. Some sources say to go into advanced settings when switching and go to PCI...

used DDU ... and I thought everything was good, but it still happens. I wonder if it's just a conflict between having both iGPU and GPU plugged into the same monitor. maybe I should try opposite and just leave GPU plugged into monitor. haha

CPU: Intel Core i7-10700 iGPU: UHD Graphics 630 dGPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Motherboard: B460M DS3H AC Drive: SAMSUNG 980 PRO SSD 2TB PCIe 4.0 PSU: CORSAIR - CX-M Series CX750M I want to upgrade my RAM to 32 GB.... but also increase memory speed. I currently have XPG Z1 DDR4 3000MHz (PC4...

So I believe I narrowed it to the GPU and probably the driver... I did what you said, I unplugged GPU HDMI from monitor and it woke up without any issue. I plugged HDMI back into GPU slot on back of pc ... and was frozen screen again. haha! So should I redo drivers for RTX 3060, or should I...

I see a crazy amount of Device Setup Manager errors in the Event Viewer ... like every minute. errors are like: Metadata staging failed, result=0x80070490 for container '{F813F412-299E-11EF-A645-18C04D88BA68}' like a device is trying to setup, but failing. it started at midnight. also I see...

I took a look in Reliability History this morning when it happened and it just has "windows not properly shutdown", when I hit restart button.

I will try this ... I will unplug my GPU from the monitor. I have a separate hdmi going from computer to monitor for iGPU. One thing I did notice this morning when trying to wake it up, I used keyboard and it worked. it came up, but the mouse was not working. task bar could be seen on bottom...

I ran the test... 4 runs and all good ... 0 errors. But I figured out the errors on the device manager USB controllers was due to a VENTION 10Gbps USB 3.2 Hub, USB Hub with 4 USB A 3.2 Ports, I have plugged in. The USB on my computer is 3.0 so I'm wondering, does the USB 3.2 hub create issues?

No, never. I am running Memtest now. How many passes do you suggest? John Carrona, who is one of the best BSOD specialist in the business (the other being John Griffith at Sysnative), recommends at least 3 passes. Some say 8 runs. thanks. I did unplug my Neatgear A7000 wifi usb while...

High Performance. .. what do you mean windows? how?

OK, that explains it. Thanks, I appreciate the explanation. My other PC which I used for years had only 1 drive. I wasn't used to this new 2 drive experience on my laptop.

haha! that explains it. Thank you so much. My other PC which I used for years had only 1 drive. I wasn't used to this new 2 drive experience on my laptop.

tried uninstalling both ... it still happens, but I did narrow it down to moving to C: works as it should. it's moving files to D: (my storage drive) that has the issue.
