    [SOLVED] USB boot with CSM disabled on Gigabyte X570 board

    Turns out it was corrupted USB stick after all... It seemed fine as all the files are still there, but it would just not boot no matter what without CSM. Created a new USB stick with Windows 10 Media Creation Tool (also FAT32 by the way) and it was detected immediately.

    Windows 7 unexpected freezes

    Yeah, I think that was the cause, it's been full 3 days and no freezes in that time. Amazing that Microsoft was able to mess up their own antivirus in their own system like that. Thanks anyway.

    Windows 7 unexpected freezes

    Hey. I have a problem with my Windows 7. Usually one-two times per day it freezes itself, with no error whatsoever, forcing me to do a hard reset. This happens at random times, usually when editing some text files or just using Chrome. What I tried: - standard overheating - unlikely in this...
