Hi All,
I have a newly built system that I have been using sucessfully for a few weeks. Spec:
Ryzen 7 3700x,
32GB Corsair Vengeance 3600 (4 x 8GB),
Sabrent 1GB M2 PCIE 4.0,
Asus Prime x470 Pro motherboard,
4TB HDD.
I've been tuning the RAM timings in the BIOS and its been tricky. I have got faster timings working but after pushing this further and testing for RAM stability in AIDA 64 had crashes. Now WIndows won't boot and I'm stuck in a repair loop and get CRITICAL PROCESS DIED messages. I assumed I could just revert the mobo back to base settings but the issues are persisting. I'm reasonably tech savvy so have spent many hours yeasterday trying to resolve this issue but nothing is working. So far I've ried:
Resetting BIOS to stock settings
Loading BIOS settings I know work
Trying to do a Windows repair install from USB (it won't allow this as you have to be in booted system to do this and it won't boot)
Running various command line tools such to check disk (OK) and rebuild MBR etc
Updating BIOS to latest version
Nothing has worked and I really don't want to wipe SSD and start again. I want to repair Windows and retain settings if possible.
Is a full reinstall my only option at this stage? How can I repair windows from a USB drive with full options?
Any help would be greatly appreciated - Thanks.
