[SOLVED] plc_debug and a possible windows bug?

[Scova]

Okay so recently my computer has started having booting issues. I created a very long post about this yesterday if you would like to go to my page to read it. I have had no issues with my pc up until a few weeks ago. I was just browsing files and found a new folder I have not seen before labeled plc_debug.

I opened the folder to find what looks like a log of every system reboot I have had the last few weeks since the issue started to occur. I did a quick google search to se what a plc debug was and I found that others have been having this issue the last several weeks as well. I'm not too sure but I read this could be a windows bug or an Asus armory crate bug. Other peoples computers have been getting the same errors and system reboots.

I now am starting to believe my pc issues is something to do with the latest windows update or maybe a bug somewhere else because it just now randomly started having these issues when I have done nothing out of the ordinary. Still I advice you go read my post from yesterday to see the issues I have been experiencing with my computer every time I go to boot it.

Here is the debug log that was found in my plc_debug folder as of Sunday, May 8th. I'm not sure what I'm reading so maybe someone else can help me out. Is this a possible windows update glitch that's causing my PC issues?

seems to be the fan controller software in AI Suite/Armory crate

plc_debug folder in root

Hi all, Not sure if this is anything to do with icue but since installing H150i the above folder keeps being created in root on boot with a file of the same name. The contents of the file are pasted below which appear to be polling system fans etc hence my wondering if its icue but guess it also ...

i assume this is the other post - https://forums.tomshardware.com/thr...g-detailed-explanation-of-my-problem.3761841/

have you updated the BIOS on motherboard? might get Armory crate working properly.


Try a clean boot and see if it changes anything - make sure to read instructions and make sure NOT to disable any microsoft services or windows won't load right - https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help/929135/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows

THis isn't a reset, it doesn't remove anything off PC, it just stops programs running with windows... programs such as armory crate.

if clean boot fixes it, it shows its likely a startup program. You should, over a number of startups. restart the programs you stopped to isolate the one that is to blame.
