Before explaining my problem let me write down my PC specs:

1. Ryzen 5 5600

2. Corsair Vengance LPX - 3200MHZ (16x2) Total 32 GB RAM

3. Gigabyte Gaming OC RTX 3070ti

4. Asus Prime B550M-A WiFi II

5. Crucial P3 Plus - 1 TB Nvme

6. Crucial BX500 - 240 GB SATA SSD

7. Seagate Baracuda - 1 TB HDD

\*\*Problem:\*\*

So I was playing games on my PC the other day when suddenly the Pc just force restarted, I didn't lose power or anything. It booted up after restarting and again after 2 mins of booting it again restarted and the third time I couldnt even login to windows it just force restarted itself. After a few more times of force restarting itself, it entered that windows recovery setting and I tried to enter the Bios Coz I thought it might be because of XMP, but as I clicked the Statup repair setting on windows my Pc got stuck. And from since then, I haven't been able to get into the Bios Properly, I had to use many workarounds but it isn't working.

\*\*Tried Solutions\*\*:

1. Reseated Ram, Gpu and even cleared CMOS still wasn't able to get into the Bios.

2. Thought it was my Hard Drive causing the problem since its pretty old, disconnected it still wasn't able to get into the BIOS.

3. Disconnected all my Storage Devices, and then tried to boot, Got the Amercian Megatrends page and pressed F1 (image attached) I was finally able to get into BIOS for a brief moment, as soon as I restarted I was again stuck in the Asus Splash screen and none of my keyboard inputs were working. Also tried diffefent USB ports including front panel ones in case USB Ports were shorted, sometimes I could get into the BIOS and sometimes stuck in the splash screen.

4. Don't think my Storage Devices are bad since I tried them on a different PC and all of them were working. So what's the issue? And how can I Fix?

Hey all, I've been dealing with this problem for a couple years now, and I haven't been able to identify the cause yet.

I have a custom built desktop PC, and for whatever reason I can't figure out it keeps crashing at complete random with different stop codes every time. A lot of programs that I run have also been crashing at complete random as well: Spotify, Discord, Adobe Photoshop, OpenOffice Writer, games like TS4 and flash games on Flashpoint have also been crashing more frequently as of late. Some of the BSOD codes I've received are:

• PFN_LIST_CORRUPT
• MULTIPLE_IRP_COMPLETE_REQUESTS
• KERNEL_MODE_HEAP_CORRUPTION
• PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON-PAGED_AREA
• MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
• APC_INDEX_MISMATCH

A lot of the guides I found online point to a memory problem or a driver issue, but I've done about everything I can think of to try and fix these problems and nothing seems to be working. I've run SFC scans that come back with no integrity violations, DISM found no store corruption, CHKDSK comes back with nothing, Windows Memory Diagnostic found no problems, and I've individually checked for driver updates only to come back with nothing every time.

I'm sure there's something I'm missing or doing wrong, but at this point I don't know what it could possibly be. If someone has some advice on what the next step for me might be in fixing this, I'd be very grateful!

For reference my computer specs are:

• OS: Windows 10 Home w/ extended security updates
• Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB
• Motherboard: MSI MPG X570 GAMING EDGE WIFI ATX AM4
• Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core
• RAM: 48GB

I when to turn on my computer yesterday and my cpu was failing to launch and then my computer wouldn’t take power at all I bought a new power supply thinking it was the problem (it was 6 years old) the new power supply didn’t fix the issue I would love some help

Basically everything was fine one moment then the next my mouse wouldn't work. I reset the laptop and had a bios update which triggered BitLock or whatever its called. My Microsoft account was locked for 30 days cause of the fact that I didn't have my old phone number so I followed a guide to fix it. Well unfortunately it was only AFTER I formatted my PC and got rid of windows that the YouTuber said id need a USB drive, which I don't have.

So now I think my laptop is ruined. Is there ANYTHING I can do?

My pc shutdown (no restart, blue screen or freeze )during gaming, and ive been to experts and they couldnt find anything we ran every benchmark (no shutdowns during benchmark) and score is at 98% overall. All hardware is perfect condition(we ran test, and checked voltage), no temp problems between 57-72 (no load - with load ) we got no clue what cause this, also the event viewer does not work with this kind of shutdown like with a blue screen so nothing to see there either. When i play on 4k the shutdown happens faster, when I play on 1440p it takes a bit longer till shutdown. At this point im out of options and not in the mood to pay a shit load of money for no fix so if anyone can please help me out much appreciated.

Update: the 4k and 1440p test and the time difference between them till shutdowns was tested on Titans Quest 2 and Path of Exile 2, when I play Marvel Rivals and League Legends no shutdowns (same graphic settings) tested on both 4k and 1440p. So I guess on demanding games the shutdowns happens.

During test on those ARPG games i mention above on both settings for 1440p and 4k on max overall there is no stutter, no fps drops, temps are not going above 72-75.

Specs:

• AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 8-Core Processor (4.70 GHz)

• ASUS ROG STRIX Platinum modulaire 1200 watt
• Corsair DDR5 Vengeance 2x 16GB 6000 CMK32GX5M2B6000Z30

Here are my specs:
**Brand new parts:**
ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus WiFi
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
XPG GAMMIX S11 Pro NVMe SSD
**Reused parts (worked perfectly in my previous PC):**
RTX 3070
32GB Kingston Fury DDR4 (2x16GB)
Power supply
Air cooler
**The problem**
The PC enters the BIOS perfectly every single time.
Inside the BIOS:
CPU is detected correctly.
RAM is detected correctly.
SSD is detected correctly.
USB installation drive is detected correctly.
CPU temperature stays around 40°C.
The BIOS is completely stable. I can stay there forever without any problems.
The problem starts as soon as I leave the BIOS and the PC tries to boot.
Depending on the configuration, I get different results:
Sometimes it freezes on the ASUS TUF logo.
Sometimes it goes to a black screen forever.
One time it reached the Windows logo, then froze.
Another time it displayed “Press DEL or F2 to enter UEFI BIOS settings” and then froze.
**Everything I’ve already tried**
Reset BIOS to factory defaults.
Tested CSM Enabled and Disabled.
Secure Boot set to Other OS.
Boot Override from BIOS.
Used Microsoft’s official Media Creation Tool to create a new Windows installer.
Tried two different USB drives.
Tested with the SSD removed.
Tested with only one RAM stick.
Tested with both RAM sticks.
Moved RAM from A1/B1 to the recommended A2/B2 slots.
Removed Wi-Fi antenna and USB peripherals.
Confirmed BIOS recognizes every component correctly.
One interesting thing:
I have another SSD that already has Windows installed.
When I connect **that SSD**, the computer actually gets to the Windows login screen asking for my password, but i don’t have.
That makes me wonder if this is related to the Windows installer, the new SSD, BIOS compatibility, or something else entirely.
At this point I honestly have no idea anymore.
Has anyone ever seen something like this?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated because I’m completely exhausted after spending the whole day trying to figure this out.

I just built my first PC and I just put it together I was playing a lighter game earlier with my girl friend (Roblox) and my screen was flickering and crashed at one point saying that there was a driver issue I got back on and the problem kept happening just no crashing after about two minutes I got off to try and fix the issue I don't remember exactly what I did but I fixed it because I was playing for another hour with her I got off for a while but like an hour ago I decided to play planet crafter but it kept crashing the first time the software crashed but the second and third time my PC fully restarted no blue screen or anything just a restart I didn't really know what to look for to try and fix it do I asked ai and learned that the pigtail pcie cable isn't good for larger power draws so I grabbed my second pcie cable and plugged it in and decided to try again but the software crashed again so I gave up for a little while and then I decided to try once again but this time my PC restarted again I have no clue where to even begin so I came here

Also in case it's relevant I've done no modifications in bios besides making out my aio fans I also haven't enabled xmp because my PC was just getting put in an endless loop of rebooting with out ever even going to windows

I have had this issue for over a year now, but it has significantly gotten worse recently and I’m running out of ideas. It usually happens while gaming but some games are worse than others. There aren’t any warning signs or blue screens before it shuts off and no pop-up when I turn it back on. I have replaced multiple parts within the past year to try and fix it but nothing has worked.

It always happens during some time in a game. I’ve been playing Marvel Rivals lately and for some reason it seems to always happen during the hero select phase right after loading into a game (it doesn’t happen every game, but if it happens it’s usually here).

Also when I checked reliability monitor the only critical events were that windows wasn’t shutting down properly and a windows hardware error that didn’t have any technical details.

Here are my specs:

Ryzen 7 5800X
Radeon RX 7800 XT
MSI B550-A Pro motherboard
850W PSU
Windows 11

Any help would be appreciated!

So I built a PC about 7 or 8 years ago, and it worked awesome. Still does, with one exception: when it is fully shut down, it won't turn back on until it has sat unplugged for approximately 15 minutes. This issue first came up a year ago, and I was certain it was the GPU after it failed the paperclip test, but when I popped over to Best Buy for a replacement, one of their techs offered to test it for me and it came back normal. I took it home, plugged it in, a voila. Figured at the time it must have been a wonky connection or something.

I rarely fully shutdown my pc, so it was several months before it happened again. This time, I did a bunch of testing and confirmed several things:

1. It doesn't happen on restart, only full shutdown.

2. If it happens, I wait 15 minutes, and start it up, I can then shut it down and bring it back up normally right after.

3. Somtimes it happens on normal shutdown, but it always happens on hard shutdown or if I accidentally kick the power switch on my surge protector.

4. It is not a fast boot error, as fast boot is off.

5. It is not a power switch issue, as I replaced the mechanism and had the same error.

6. There is something wonky about the power switch/its connections, because it has multiple LEDs, and they are sometimes on and sometimes off randomly. Given I've ruled out the assembly, I wonder if it's maybe the pins on the motherboard, but they hold up to visual inspection.

7. Performance is normal, heat is normal when idling and under load.

At this point, I am wondering about my PSU again, or possibly about my motherboard. Is it possible that one or the other isn't discharging residual charge properly after shutdowns? Any advice would be helpful about where to go next in terms of troubleshooting. I feel I'm out of my depth.

UPDATE:

Motherboard socket bit it :/ There were bent pins on the bottom right that were hard to see at first, but it was quite obvious after... which is a good thing, considering that I was about to blame the CPU.

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone! Legends indeed :)

Cheers!

Hi there!

PC specs:

-Ryzen 9 9950X3D

-GPU: PNY 5080 16gb

-RAM: 128GB 5600MT

-MoBo: B650 Aorus Pro AX

-PSU: Aorus 1200w

Issue:

Three days ago, I updated both my CPU and my GPU. I had a Ryzen 7 9900X and a Founders Edition 4080.

After I updated my CPU, I started having video signal being lost issues. They started when I'd play Control, getting crash errors that said "lost connection to <object>", then my computer would lose video signal on the desktop and holding down the power button would not turn off the computer... I would need to turn off the PSU to cut the power.

Then, after updating mobo bios, cpu chipsets, video card drivers, all from a clean install, the problem would seem to be okay for a couple of hrs but inevitably it would return.

After a day or so, the problem got worse and the video signal would be lost no matter what a couple of minutes into booting my system.

Thinking that I'd fried my GPU somehow, I went and got an upgrade to the PNY 5080, but the problem persists.

I moved all of the hardware to a different case, re pasted the new CPU, re seated the RAM, installed the new GPU, made sure all my connections were good, but the issue is still happening

I've done enough troubleshooting on PCs that I feel confident I've tried everything I could think of, short of changing the motherboard... I wonder if it is possible that when troubleshooting my video card, I ended up fucking up the PCIe port where the GPU sits?

Before I go drop more cash on a new mobo, any suggestions from you legends here?

Discourse is very much appreciated it!

Cheers!

Hi everyone,

I'm having an issue after replacing my PSU and I'm running out of ideas.

PC Specs:

- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600

- GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT (1x 8-pin PCIe)

- Motherboard: B450M

- New PSU

Background:

About a week ago, my PC was working perfectly. Then my old PSU failed, so I replaced it with a new non-modular PSU. Since then, I haven't been able to get any display.

Symptoms:

- The monitor detects when the DisplayPort cable is plugged into the GPU.

- If I unplug the DP cable from the GPU, the monitor says something like "Waiting 5 minutes for you to connect the DP cable."

- When I plug it back into the GPU, the monitor immediately goes into Power Saving Mode.

- So the monitor seems to detect the cable, but it never receives a video signal.

What I've already tried:

- Reseated the GPU.

- Tried both 8-pin connectors on the PCIe cable (it's one cable that splits into two 6+2 connectors).

- Confirmed I'm using the PCIe cable, not the CPU/EPS cable.

- Checked that the GPU power connector is fully inserted.

- CPU fan, case fans, motherboard lights, keyboard, and mouse all power on normally.

- The GPU fans do not spin during boot, but they briefly twitch when I turn the PC off.

Since the Ryzen 5 3600 doesn't have integrated graphics, I can't test through the motherboard video output.

At this point, I'm wondering if:

- the GPU was damaged when the old PSU failed,

- there's still a power issue,

- or something else is preventing POST.

Does anyone have suggestions for what I should test next? Thanks!

Hope you're doing well.

My R5 5500 5-6 pins are broken while removing the cooler,

i managed to straighten the rest of the pins and locked the CPU in my b550 MOBO.

But when i start my pc it doesn't start and keep the components in loop.

IF ANYONE KNOWS GOOD REPAIRMAN..

Kindly suggest me, in Rawalpindi or Lahore.

UPDATE: after reinstalling windows to a fresh one the pc started running well but today it has returned and pc crashes constantly more aggressively while idle or at low load games(cs2,dota)
Evertything is stock even the memory is set to 4800 mhz no expo profile is on, so i guess it could not be the ram
Any ideas?

Original post : A month ago my pc started hard freezing and the only way to restart is my holding the power button
First time it happend while playing forza 6
Today its happening even while idle in desktop or downloading a game like i did today since i reinstalled windows completely
I tried everything
Obviously drivers, chipset, bios, fresh windows

And i cant understand why

Hi everyone,
My ASUS ROG laptop suddenly started showing INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE (0x7B) and keeps restarting in a loop.
What I’ve checked:
BIOS detects my Intel 512GB NVMe SSD.
Windows Boot Manager is present.
Storage mode is AHCI.
I cannot access Automatic Repair or the Troubleshoot menu.
The laptop just shows the ROG logo, then the 0x7B error, restarts, and repeats.
Is there anything else I can try before reinstalling Windows? Could this still be a Windows corruption issue even though the SSD is detected?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm having a strange issue with my PC. Both RAM sticks work individually, but they won't work together.

Here's what I've tested:

I installed each RAM stick one at a time in the A2 slot, and both work perfectly. The PC posts without any issues.

However, when I install both sticks in the recommended A2 and B2 slots, the PC won't post. Both RAM sticks light up, but there's no display or boot.

Before this, everything was working perfectly. The issue only started after I upgraded my:

GPU

AIO cooler

PSU

I searched around and found that uneven CPU mounting pressure from the AIO can sometimes affect memory channels. I removed and reinstalled the AIO, making sure the mounting pressure was even, but the issue still persists.

Does this sound like a motherboard issue, bent CPU socket pins, a CPU memory controller problem, or something else? Are there any other troubleshooting steps I should try?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hey everyone,
I recently built / bought a pretty high-end gaming PC, but for some reason it takes a long time to boot into Windows and I can’t figure out why.

PC Specs

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D (8-Core, 4.20 GHz)
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 16GB
• RAM: 32GB DDR5
• Storage: 1.82TB drive (1.73TB currently used)
• OS: Windows 64-bit

Issue

Even with these specs, my PC boots up really slowly. Once I’m in Windows, performance is mostly fine for gaming and general use, but startup takes much longer than expected.

If anyone has experienced this with a Ryzen 7800X3D setup or has suggestions on what to check first, I’d really appreciate the help. Thanks!

My pc freezes during light tasks and working perfectly when playing games and it freezes and cannot do any type of restart just from the power button.I have ryzen5 5600,rx 6500xt 4gb,msi mpg b550 gaming plus motherboard,16 gigs ram (single Chanel) and gigabyte hd 750gm modular power supply (the ram,ssd,video card is from and old pc and everything else is New bough like a year ago.Pls help

So I’ve recently upgraded my Motherboard to ROG STRIX z 790e and Ram to DDR5 g.skill trident z5 cl34 7200mhz. Ever since then I’ve noticed every time i turn on my pc for the first time of the day i load up cod/destiny/gta v etc before i load into a match or halfway through a match it will just completely freeze with no response what so ever until shut down the computer and restart then itll work fine for the whole rest of day/night. Only happens on first start up of the day.

I have completely reset pc and clean install of windows 11 and re installed the drivers and still same issue happening.

I did notice my lian li galahad II aio coolers LCD screen just defaults back to the lian li logo wheb the freeze does happen. Not sure if that has something to do with it but thought i should mention it either way.

Its been very hard to point out what it is due to it only happening once a day was hoping someone has gone through this and fixed it or atleast point me in the right direction.

All help is appreciated thank you!
