Question Lots of random issues on just built PC - perf and general

[WumpusTheCoder]

Hi there. I just built my brand new computer, with the exact following specs:

Here are the issues I’m facing:
1. Sometimes the computer doesn’t “post” for ages - as in it doesn’t get to the windows log in screen for ages and just stays with the screen black but the fans on full blast. Also at this time, there are some status LED lights which I think are the 2 bottom LEDs, but can’t be sure they are exactly these ones as this specific boot issue happens almost once every 5 or so boot attempts.
2. Sometimes when I press the case power button, the PC doesn’t take as long as when it does what I’ve described in the first issue, however when turning it on - the MOBO status LEDs flicker and all change very fast. Two videos to demonstrate this and the pegged at 100% fans

3. The performance compared to other benchmarks is very lacklustre for my specifications, and I ran the benchmarks at 1080p!! (I plan to use 1440p…)

If anyone could help at all in any way, I’d be very grateful!

Thanks.

Did you do a clean Windows install with the new build or did you try to reuse your previous Windows install?

First of all you have to update your motherboard, check CPU and GPU temperatures and Run a memory test to check for any RAM issues.

Completely clean windows install with the USB created with the Microsoft MCT.

I have updated the bios, and installed all drivers. How do I perform this check you speak of?
