Hello people.
Today i'm kinda defeated as i tried everything in my knowledge in order to solve this problem, only to conclude that the MOBO is faulty.
Gonna to recapitulate:
8 days ago i finally get the last component for my new pc and i've started to put everything together:
MOBO: Z590 AORUS MASTER (rev 1)
CPU: 10900KF
RAM: Oloy (2x16gb) 3600mhz CL18
PSU: Rog Thor 1200W
GPU: Rog Strix 3090
Windows 10 Home installed in: SSD teamgroup elite EX2 (2tb)
2 HDD WD Black of 1tb each for only storage.
TL;DR version:
Installed windows. Noticed unstability (crashes on programs, Windows freezes)
Noticed that Steam games and movies downloaded from my new pc have files corrupted 95% of the time. CPU/GPU temps are fine.
Checked for PL with the integrated WIFI, and a different ISP with cable and not too much PL in the tests. But PL went hard everytime when i download (is intended?) things.
Tried boot with HDD (WIN 7). Worked fine (no more corrupt files). Then tried changing Sata cable and Sata port and the SSD was working fine now.
Then i went to check if the "faulty" port on were the first SSD was ok with a different SATA cable and connected again. From now on all ports cause again the corrupt files problem.
Is there is anything more to check? a bent pin on MOBO maybe? RMA?
Detailed version:
After installed everything, i power up the pc and it started to boot itself every few seconds. Kinda panicked, turned off everything from PSU on/off button.
Later to found out that may be the bios was arranging automatically the speed of the RAMs in order to adjust in a stable clock (2666mhz now).
After that, i've installed windows. Then installed all the drivers (helped by Driver Easy).
Then i've noticed after everything was updated that windows freeze randomly for 10/20scs at least 1 time for each boot.
Also some games installed from Steam got crashes (the ones downloaded with the new setup, the ones in the HDD storage were fine). So i got worried and made a lot of tests on the SSD and RAM. Everything was fine (and i made a lot of tests).
Then i thought "well, maybe if i update the bios will fix it". Tried the last version F5d, and the img was not recognized by the BIOS. Super strange but i thought maybe is an acumulative patch.
Tried the next version (F4) of the default (F3). Everything went ok but f5d was not recognized so i leave MOBO with ver. F4.
Freezes were less frecuent but they still there. Beside the random freezes everything was smooth and ok.
Then i've installed Metro Exodus Enhanced and played until Taiga. Then game crashed hard. It seems it was a problem of the game but when i went to validate the files with Steam a lot of files were corrupt.
Also noticed that any movies that i've download and then pass it to my cell they all have glitches (like pixelated scenes) at least for 5/10scs every 2/4min
I've started to think that my new SSD or WIFI were broken and every file that i've downloaded was corrupt. Indeed every downloaded file were corrupt. Updates, movie, game, anything.
Started to check for packetloss but pinging google for 200 rounds didn't have PL. Also tested a different ISP with cable and using my cell as an external modem and still have corrupted files (when downloading the PL was big, not sure if this is intended or should have only late packages)
I've then unplugged the SSD and booted with one of my HDD which have WIN 7 (yes, i didn't update anything, i let win 7 to figure out everything).
I tried to download a movie, passed to my cell and voila, everything ok. So i plugged my old Samsung EVO 850, installed a clean windows 10 on it and tried again. Movies and steam still DL corrupted.
Then i thought the sata port of the MOBO could be broken. Changed Sata cable and Sata port and voila x2. Everything ok.
Then i wanted to check if it was the cable and plugged again in the port with problems... and after that doesn't matter which SSD, HDD, Win 7, Win 10, everything have the corrupted file errors.
I don't know what to check anymore, maybe it is a bent pin on MOBO?
Right now i'm using the new PC and is all ok, but the problem happens when i download something.
Soooo.. RMA? (in my country this is a sentence of months without PC so im trying everything before to proceed with it)
