[SOLVED] How to run diagnostics in BIOS - ROG Strix 8350-F Gaming MOBO

[bilcker]

I have been having some trouble with my pc. Windows 10 installation crashing with every error in the book. I decided to uninstall and re-install but now during installation errors out as well. I am trying to run a diagnostic on my SSD and RAM but can not find it for the life of me in the BIOS. Everywhere I've searched online says go to BIOS > diagnostics but I can't find diagnostics in my BIOS setup anywhere. Or anywhere that would indicate a hardware scan. Is anyone familiar with this MOBO and could instruct me where to go? Thanks for any help you can give.

The BIOS doesn't have detailed diagnostics. Memory testing is best done by using MEMTEST86 -- https://www.memtest86.com/ On another PC you build a bootable CD or USB. Then boot from that. Let it run for 6 to 24 hours. If you get no errors then your motherboard and memory are stable and should not be the reason you are having problems.

Thanks I will give this a try.
