I’m not sure how long my search bar hasn’t been working because I rarely use it but I need to use it to solve another issue I’m having , I click on search bar and before I can type anything it closes and re opens , almost like it’s just restarting over and over . I’ve tried every YouTube video I can find I’ve tried other Reddit suggestions and suggestions from Microsoft help pages nothing works still having same issue
So i have a Gigabyte Aorus 15G YC for quite some years now.
Recently the laptop has started doing some sudden restarts regardless of temps or load.
There is no BSOD screen, just straight up black and instant restart.
No, this is not windows 10 issue, because I went through the trouble to check event logs, which have nothing, and dual boot CachyOS. Happens both on win and linux.
Again, temps are normal when idle, 60c, and 80 or 90 under very heavy load. Restarts regarless.
Also temp issues would shut the pc down afaik?
Neither windows no Cachyos show any useful logs. I read and googled everything i could, also let llms digest all the logs. Nothing.
My suspects are ram, cpu or mb. I tried booting into the ram tester, but that thing is not functional, or i am. I ran basic cpu, ram, gpu and other tests, all green too.
Any idea what is up?

Built 3 years ago, worked flawlessly, built for future upgrades, primarily hobbyist video editing. Turned on the first time, really zero issues.
I ran to an issue a few months ago with stuck in post with white light. After trying different HDMI cords. I removed graphics card PC works. A few days ago samething with mobo port, diff cords, put card back in it works.
So I decided to update the bios, hadn't been done for about 3 years. So I went with 3rd newest bios version. Installed everything good, until the initial restart after the install. Yellow light on.
Gave it 30 minutes, restarted gave it another 30+ minutes
Long story short (waited for it to post after all these steps)
Turned off PSU, unplugged held power button, cleared CMOS 3 times
Removed battery, new battery just in case
Ram seated properly, heard the click
Did it with one ram stick
Swapped for other stick.
Only waited about 20 minutes
Tried reinstalling current bios, via flashback in the back, yes flashing light, yes it turned off
(Yes deleted anything else on the drive, each time)
Downloaded an older bios version I think 2403, did the flashback with thumb drive, waited for light to turn off. Didn't work.
Downloaded the bios I was on 1709, did the flashback, only about 20 minutes, before I threw in the towel.
Still won't post.
Left it unplugged, battery out for 2 hours. Left it on for 1.5 hours
Anything else I could try, or what am I missing?
Edit: my brain allows me to learn enough to get myself in trouble, but not enough to get out of it.
URGENT: PC keeps randomly restarting — completely stuck
I’m seriously stuck with this and need help diagnosing it.
My PC started randomly restarting about 3 days before the SSD/RAM replacement. It would suddenly lose power and reboot during normal use.
The technician told me the old HDD was failing and that the motherboard needed servicing. He thoroughly cleaned and serviced the motherboard, and reapplied thermal paste to both the CPU and the smaller motherboard heatsink.
I then replaced the HDD with a new 256GB SATA SSD, replaced the RAM, and installed a completely fresh Windows 10.
The exact same problem is still happening.
I also tried:
SSD + HDD connected
Only SSD connected
Only HDD connected
The problem persists in every configuration.
Windows boots normally, I log in, and after a short while the PC suddenly loses power, the LEDs go off, and it restarts.
At this point I’m honestly completely helpless and desperate. This PC is extremely important to me, and I’ve already spent money replacing parts and servicing the motherboard, yet I still don’t know what is actually failing.
The problem started before the SSD/RAM replacement and survived:
Motherboard servicing
New SSD
New RAM
Fresh Windows installation
Different HDD/SSD configurations
My specs
256GB SATA SSD
1TB HDD
8GB DDR3 RAM
Gigabyte H61M-S1 Rev. 2.0 motherboard
No dedicated GPU
Intex 450 Techno PSU
Please help me figure this out. I genuinely don’t know what else I can do at this point.
Not sure what's exactly going on, idk if its hardware or software. I've been dealing with this since yesterday and cant seem to figure it out. (context) i added some ram to my system, to total 32 GB, my dumbass forgot to turn off my pc as it was sleeping, i realized what i did and turned it off. then added them in afterwards. it was giving me some trouble at first but i ended up resetting my motherboard (taking battery out) which ig F***** all the security keys or something, and now i cant turn secure boot on without it looping to the bios menu. I've tried updating the firmware on my GPU cause that was a problem once upon a time in the world, I've tried clearing my TPM in windows, and clearing the keys in bios and "reinstalling" the defaults. i don't know i feel like i tried a lot of things. Any help would be Greatly appreciated.
TL;DR
[Added RAM while the PC was sleeping, then powered it off and installed the RAM. After some issues, I cleared the CMOS by removing the motherboard battery, which seems to have messed with my Secure Boot/firmware keys.]
Now, Secure Boot causes my PC to boot straight back into the BIOS instead of Windows.
Things I've already tried:
Windows works normally with Secure Boot disabled, but enabling it causes the BIOS loop. I'm running out of ideas and would really appreciate some help figuring out what's wrong.

Most notably when it happens I'll lose display of anything running and it'll become a black screen. Audio is still available and has no issues, fans still run, but I can't see anything. This has been going on very infrequently for the last year or two but has been far more recent in the last couple weeks. I thought I was catching a cable with my foot or something earlier on but since it's been a more persistent issue it's clear it's definitely not that. I haven't needed to fiddle with HDMI cords connected or anything so I don't believe that those are the issue either so far.
Something else to note is that sometimes when this occurs and I try to restart the PC, it'll boot up the MSI screen to load the BIOS, but won't take me to the Windows 10 login screen for a couple hours. It mostly sorts itself out overnight but still very clearly an issue
I've had this issue with a few games so far recently, Deadlock, Peak andRV There Yet. Deadlock was on medium settings when this had occured. Lower strain games like (modded) Terraria seemed to work fine without issue however. Once I had cleaned out my case fans it had resolved for a while but eventually persisted again after \~a month
I recently had a powercut before it became more frequent, bear in mind I was actively using the PC at the time. Not too wised up on the hardware side of things but could this have fried the PSU??
\--BENCHMARKS, TESTS AND STUFF--
Just a couple benchmarks/stress tests I did to help diagnose and see if anything is faulty. I haven't overclocked so far so they may be on the lower side
Results from regular Steel Nomad benchmark are here:
\- Score: 3014
\- Average FPS: 30.15 FPS
I tried running 3DMark Time Spy Extreme stress test, but it crashed in the same way at the 12th loop. Obviously got no results here.
Tried the Steel Nomad stress test on 3DMark instead (since it was reccomended) and got a result
\- Frame stability: 93.5%
\- Best loop score: 3073
\- Worst loop score: 2872
All 20 loops were done
Tried the CPU Profile benchmark in 3DMark, got a result
\- Max threads: 5596
\- 16 threads: 6003
\- 8 threads: 4343
\- 4 threads: 2574
\- 2 threads: 1420
\- 1 thread: 721
Two passes in the Windows RAM diagnostic were done, no issues reported.
Any ideas on the cause of this would be a godsend. My line of thinking is there's a fault with the PSU but I'm not too sure.
hello so i am facing this issue where my pc keeps abruptly restarting like itll work for say 1hr and then abruptly restarts and then it works 40 mins and then abruptly restarts. This pattern repeats with the amount of time it stays on decreases idk why it does this i gave to a independant shop to check they said change the motherboard but im skeptical and motherboards are expensive so i need your help. ALso my pc restarted while running the userdiag thing I did the long diagnostic and it crashed 10-30 seconds in so
Here is userdiag for the long diagnosis=\[https://userdiag.com/id/IDfrPBgPGf\\\](https://userdiag.com/id/IDfrPBgPGf)

I got my first pc about a month ago and it’s an nzxt prebuilt. Worked perfectly fine but after about an hour of playing my frames would drop fast and after about a minute of that my pc would power off. I replaced the power supply with a 1000w thinking it wasn’t getting enough power but that didn’t fix the problem. I need help trying to diagnose the problem! What should I do?
Help with my PC (long story) lags and the associated soundscape already on third PC
It all started as usual, I played on my PC around September 6, 2020 and for 2 years everything was fine, but then I had to leave and the PC stood for 2 years and did not turn on, then I came back and everything was fine, but after about half a year I noticed that sometimes at the end of the audio tracks there are unpleasant clicks, although I tried to solve the problem, I dug through the BIOS settings, but the problem was not solved, after which, after 2 months, games began to freeze, as well as the Explorer program (the bottom panel began to crash, sometimes all the icons disappeared, and when hibernating and turning it on again, the wine panel was always open). Moreover, what is strange is that all this happened on two PCs and almost simultaneously (the second PC is not mine, but was in the same apartment). I decided that playing like that was too painful, so I first bought a new RX 6600 graphics card (replacing it didn't help) and a new Chieftec 600W Proton power supply (replacing it helped, but the freezing became less frequent, but still persisted).
PC specs:
Sapphire Radeon RX 580 graphics card, pulse version, if I'm not mistaken
Intel i5 9400f processor
Z390 gaming X motherboard
I can't say exactly which DeepCool power supply
The memory was a Radeon, I can't say exactly which one
Of course, I took the computer to a repair shop, and they said the graphics card was burned out.
Then I met a friend of mine, and he, you could say, almost completely rebuilt my computer.
-RX 6600 graphics card
-Intel i7 14200f processor
-ASUS PRIME B760M-PLUS motherboard
-Chieftec power supply 600W Proton after replacing the Chieftec 750W Polaris
- and a new M2 SSD
- DDR5 8GB 5600 MHz Beast Black Kingston Fury memory (2 pcs.)
It also worked for a year during the summer and then started clicking. Then I was afraid of freezing and the problem returning, so I bought a new PSU (Chieftec 750W Polaris) and a 1000VA voltage regulator (APRO AVR-1000).
But since you're reading this, you already suspect that this didn't save the PC from freezing. A small digression: when I took the video card (Rx 6600) to a service center, they told me the graphics chip was damaged and repairing it was not practical. Then we built a new, third PC.
Specs:
-GIGABYTE GeForce RTX3060 12Gb WINDFORCE OC graphics card
-AMD Ryzen 7 8700F processor
-MSI B650M GAMING PLUS WIFI motherboard
-The same power supply (Chieftec 750W Polaris)
-DDR5 8GB 5600 MHz Beast Black Kingston Fury memory (2 pcs.)
After replacement
-MSI B850M GAMING PLUS WIFI motherboard
-MSI 750W MAG A750GL PCIE5 power supply (MAG A750GL PCIE5)
After assembly, I turned it on and immediately the power went out and the cheeks started to ache. I decided to screw it and moved to another apartment in a different area (in the fall of 2025). Guess what, as I'm writing this post, the lag has started again. After the clicking started, I replaced the motherboard and power supply (specs above), and guess what, the clicking has been haunting me since the fall of 2025 until now. Now, has anyone else encountered this problem, and my video card has failed again? A friend who built two of these PCs (the second and third) says I'm incompatible with the PC, and back in the fall of 2025, he suggested I sell the PC and buy a laptop, but I don't want to do that because I understand it's a hassle and might not solve my problem. Here are the solutions I tried for clicking and freezing:
-External and internal sound cards
-Fiddling around with the BIOS
-Connecting different headphones, including wireless ones (and speakers too)
-Reinstalling Windows
And a few more details: after purchasing a power surge protector, two PCs were connected exclusively through it, while the third PC was connected via a power outlet, power surge protector, power strip, PC, and monitor. It's also worth noting that I live in Ukraine and have occasional power outages, which is why the third PC often shuts down due to power outages, about 10-15 times. I took care of my third PC as best I could and mostly played indie games like (Barotrauma, Noita, Project Zomboid). The heaviest game on my PC is War Thunder.
I don't know where to add this, so I'll add it here. On my first PC, besides the clicking noise, there was also background noise in my headphones. But after one technician dug into the BIOS, it disappeared. I don't know what he was doing there. He said he was following YouTube guides.
I apologize in advance for any errors made while writing this post, and if you need any clarifications or screenshots, I will try to answer everything. All of this was translated through Google Translate, because even though I know English, I don’t have the strength to translate, either morally or physically
I got this pc around Christmas and I always had this problem where it would freeze Everytime I put CSM SUPPORT off and try to enable secure boot it won’t let me I can load my pc fine with CSM ON but once I turn it off and try secure boot and restart im frozen Everytime at the gigabyte screen i can bypass it by taking out the CMOS but CMS support resets and all the settings to so I still csnt get a way for secure boot so I need a way to bypass this and be able to play with secure boot and not being frozen all the time if anyone can help please it will be greatly appreciated I have been trying to I already spent money to get it fixed and couldnt get the problem someone 🙏
I have a i7-8700 CPU
3050 RTX GPU
B365M POWER MOTHERBOARD
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to diagnose a very strange intermittent issue with my PC and I found another post here describing something very similar with the same motherboard.
My system:
Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX V2
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9700X
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5070 12GB
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB DDR5-6000
PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower GT Snow 750W
Cooler: Aqua Elite 360 V3
Case: NZXT H6 Flow
Windows 11
BIOS: F41 (previously F34)
The problem:
The PC can work completely normally for hours or even days.
The issue seems to happen more often when the computer is left idle or goes into a low-power/sleep state rather than while I'm actively using it.
Originally, I noticed that sometimes I would leave the PC, it would go to sleep, and when I came back it would wake up as if Windows had completely restarted instead of simply resuming my previous session.
Event Viewer shows:
Kernel-Power Event ID 41
Recently I left the computer running for a couple of hours. When I came back, I moved the mouse and everything appeared normal — Windows was at the PIN/login screen.
However, when I checked Event Viewer afterward, I discovered that a Kernel-Power 41 had occurred while I was away and apparently the computer had rebooted itself.
There is usually no BSOD that I see.
The weirdest part is how intermittent it is. Sometimes the computer behaves perfectly.
Things I've already done/tried:
Updated BIOS from F34 to F41
Disabled Windows Sleep while troubleshooting
Disabled Hibernate
Disabled Fast Startup
Checked Windows Event Viewer
Investigated the NVMe/SSD as a possible cause
Investigated power/PSU issues
Checked connections
There was also one occasion where the PC would try to power on, the fans would spin for approximately one second, then it would lose power again. After disconnecting it for a couple of minutes and connecting it directly to the wall instead of the power strip, it started normally again.
That behavior hasn't been the normal failure mode, though.
What makes me suspicious of the motherboard/BIOS/power management is that I've found other B650 Gaming X AX V2 owners reporting very similar behavior — particularly crashes/reboots during idle or light loads, Kernel-Power 41, and in some cases NVMe issues depending on the BIOS version.
My questions:
Has anyone experienced this specifically with the B650 Gaming X AX V2, especially with a Ryzen 9000 CPU?
Could BIOS F41 / AGESA or AM5 low-power states be causing this?
Are there any BIOS settings I should test, such as Global C-State Control, Power Supply Idle Control, ErP, PCIe ASPM, or anything related to NVMe power management?
Before I start replacing hardware, I'd really like to determine whether this is a known motherboard/BIOS/power-state issue.
Any suggestions for specific logs, BIOS settings, or tests I should run would be greatly appreciated.
I bought a Sapphire Pulse RX 7900 XT about 2 years ago. About a month after purchasing it, I had my first AMD driver timeout/game crash. I didn't think much of it at the time, but over the following months the crashes gradually became more frequent.
At this point, the problem can become severe enough that my PC is practically unusable for gaming. Sometimes it will run perfectly for a week or even 2–3 weeks, and then suddenly I'll start getting repeated driver timeouts/freezes.
The most common hardware error I'm seeing in Windows Reliability Monitor is:
LiveKernelEvent — Code 141
The crashes happen primarily while gaming, but I've also had them happen immediately after Windows boots and reaches the desktop. When it happens during gaming, the display can freeze completely and sometimes I have to hard reboot the PC.
PC Specs
• GPU: Sapphire Pulse RX 7900 XT
• CPU: Ryzen 9 7950X
• RAM: 96GB G.Skill DDR5 — currently running at 5200 MT/s
• Motherboard: ASRock X870 Pro RS WiFi
• PSU: Corsair RM1000x 1000W
• Primary monitor: Alienware AW2723DF — 1440p / 240Hz
• Secondary monitor: 1080p / 240Hz
• Windows 11
Things I've already tried
I've spent a lot of time troubleshooting this and have tried:
• DDU and clean driver installations
• Older known-stable AMD drivers
• AMD Pro drivers
• Newest AMD drivers
• Driver-only installation without Adrenalin
• Gaming with only one monitor connected
• Running the secondary monitor at 60Hz
• Running both monitors at 240Hz
• Undervolting the GPU
• Completely stock BIOS settings
• Disabling MPO through the registry
• Disabling Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling
• Buying a new PSU
• Reseating the RAM
• Reseating the GPU
• Using separate PCIe power cables instead of daisy-chaining
• GPU/VRAM stress testing and error testing
• Monitoring GPU temperatures with HWiNFO — temperatures appear normal
I've also tested different RAM configurations/settings, including running at the lower 5200 MT/s speed.
Capture card
I previously had an Elgato capture card connected to my Nintendo Switch and the monitor setup. The idea was to be able to switch between my PC and Switch easily using the monitor's inputs.
I disconnected the capture card completely for an extended period because I suspected it might be contributing to the problem. It seemed like things improved for a while, but eventually I still experienced two AMD driver timeouts during PC gaming. Both times the PC completely froze and required a hard reboot.
What makes this confusing
The PC can sometimes be completely stable for 1–3 weeks, including gaming, and then suddenly start having repeated crashes again.
I've also had crashes with:
• One monitor
• Two monitors
• Different refresh rates
• Different AMD drivers
• HAGS enabled and disabled
• Capture card connected and disconnected
• Stock GPU settings
• Undervolted GPU
Stress tests haven't shown obvious GPU/VRAM errors, and temperatures are normal.
At this point I'm trying to determine whether I'm dealing with a failing 7900 XT, a motherboard/PCIe issue, a Windows/software issue, or something else entirely.
Has anyone experienced persistent LiveKernelEvent 141 errors with a 7900 XT that eventually turned out to be a specific hardware or software problem?
Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone can help me troubleshoot a strange issue with my PC.
When I install the Ryzen 5 5600, the PC powers on normally—the fans spin, and the keyboard and mouse light up—but I get no display at all.
The important thing is that my motherboard and GPU are confirmed working. When I install my old Ryzen 5 3400G, the exact same setup boots and displays perfectly, with the HDMI still connected directly to the RX 580.
The Ryzen 5 5600 is brand new, and we also tested it on another MSI A520M-A PRO (the exact same motherboard model as mine). It booted and displayed normally on that motherboard.
So the Ryzen 5 5600 itself appears to be working properly.
Since I've already tried multiple BIOS versions, including both upgrading and downgrading, I'm starting to think this may not be a BIOS compatibility issue.
Could there be a motherboard-specific setting, BIOS configuration, socket/pin issue, or hardware fault that prevents my particular MSI A520M-A PRO from booting with the Ryzen 5 5600?
What would you recommend I check next?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I built a pc last summer and it worked fine all year. Now, seemingly randomly my displays turn off but I can still hear audio. Sometimes I can use my PC for hours, sometimes it won't even make it an hour. Happened with just League of Legends client open, running classic wow, nothing intense. Restarting the pc fixes the issue temporarily.
I don't have central air in my house. It got up to the mid 90s this summer, but I never saw GPU temps above 58c. Part of the PC I bought assembled used from facebook. PC specs are:
Cpu ryzen 5 5600xt new
Mobo asus tuff gaming x570 plus used
Ram Crucial 32gb ddr4 3600 used
Psu evga 850 gq 850w used
GPU Nvidia 5060ti 16gb new
Fans used but confirm they still all spin
Case lan li lancool 215
From my research it seems like the psu is about 10 years old. Ordered a new corsair rm850x. Is that likely the culprit? I did update the GPU and bios to no avail, problem kept happening.
Thanks!
Hi there,
I'm about to build a new PC and wish to give away my current one to my brother in law.
However, i seem to have an issue with it and dont know where to start troubleshooting.
Spec :
Motherboard : B550M Aorus Elite
CPU : Ryzen 5 5600
Ram : Corsair Vengence 2x16 DDR4 3200 mhz CL16
GPU : Gigabyte RTX 3070
PSU : Corsair CX650
Problem : My computer shuts off under high load. I've had to limit Power levels on Afterburner to stop it from shutting off. (It can still shut off but very rarely compared to 100% power levels)
What is the cause ? How can i go step by step to troubleshoot ?
I'm planning on completely disssambling, cleaning and reassembling in a new case with new CPU fan (and paste), new case fans.
I'm worried the issue might be with the GPU on which i cant do much
After cleaning and upgrading the gpu and cpu of a friend's pc it fails to post, all fans spin up and fan rgbs turn on but no signal on display (yes hdmi cable in the gpu not motherboard)
First I tried reseating everything and putting the old gpu in since the new gpu's fans werent spinning on boot, old gpu spun on boot but still no signal on display
Ive checked all cables and replaced the cmos with my own, also plugged in my own PSU and my own ram in different slots, none of these fixed the issue
So im left with the mobo, cpu and storage
I dont have any thermal paste on hand so I dont wanna swap out the cpus and my system has an AIO which makes swapping stuff out a tad harder
Is there any way to know wether the issue is the mobo or the cpu? The cpu was my old one and worked fine on removal no bent pins or anyrhing and was installed withoit problem as far as I could tell
Friend's system
Cpu: old ryzen 5 2600 new ryzen 5 5500
Gpu: old rx 580 new rx 6600
Psu: 500 watts evga
Storage: 1 m.2 240gb ssd(?) 1 seagate hdd
Ram: 2x16 3000mhz 18CL ddr4 sticks1 G.Skill aegis
RYZEN 75700G
System Summary & Problem:
Issue: Sudden power cutoffs and instant reboots while using the desktop PC at home for regular tasks (opening apps, multi-tab browsing, light workloads). No Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), just direct loss of power.
History: The PC worked completely fine in the exact same setup and wall outlet for months prior without any electrical or power issues.
Diagnostic Logs Found:
Windows Event Viewer: Multiple Kernel-Power Critical Errors (Event ID 41, Task Category 63) recorded on. These logs explicitly record unexpected hardware power loss during both home use and bench testing dates. I asked the shop about the kernel issues during the date the unit was in the shop and they didn't respond about it.
Service Center / Repair Shop Diagnostics:
Tests Passed on Bench:
CPU/GPU stress test using OCCT 4.5.1 (run for 1h 49m) passed with no errors.
Storage health evaluated via Partition Guru (zero bad sectors/tracks).
OS reformatted, drivers reinstalled, and basic games/multitasking tested over 3 days. (As per shop )
Shop's Stand: The shop issued a Technical Report stating no errors were observed on their bench. When confronted with the Kernel-Power logs, they claimed it didn't restart on their end and suggested contacting the local electricity provider to inspect home wiring.
Note: This unit is still under warranty.
What should I do? They keep on insisting there's no problem on it. I am rlly not a techy person. So your suggestions will be a big help.
Hi all, apologies if this is the wrong place to ask for help, I just wanted to gather some opinion on my situation before going further. This is my second ever build, first time AM5 build, all new components (except 1 SSD that I've since taken out trying to solve my issue, and the GPU).
My issue is as follows:
Ever since build (a month or so ago) I've been experiencing system-wide stutters, during games, browsing the internet, etc - that do not seem to show under the performance tab in Task Manager (no spike or lows in the graphs, no heat spikes or anything I've been able to notice). These stutters do not usually impact audio, but it has happened on occasion. As well as that, I've noticed my peripherals disconnecting and reconnecting in just a blink (a few seconds) at random intervals, in games my inputs are sometimes delayed or last too long, especially after alt tabs. I haven't noticed any events that might start these lags (except for alt tabbing), only that they seem to worsen after having played several games in one session (I'll hop on one game, few hours later I'll launch minecraft or something). Playing several games (or one game for too long, I'd say about 4 hours?) ends up in a BSOD always relating to memory issues.
Specs:
Things I've tried (not in order) with no luck solving the issue:
I do apologize if I've forgotten something I've tried to do to solve the issue (I've been 24/7 at work the first month I've built this PC, so I chiseled at it one bit at a time after shifts).
As of right now, I've pretty much set aside anything memory related (SSD, HDD, RAM) as all of the tests I've done so far on those have come out clean (?). Most of the BSOD have happened on the old SSD, but the two I've got so far on this one have come back as SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M and a CUSTOM_ERROR (as described by WhoCrashed) pointing towards netadaptercx.sys. I had Kaspersky on the old SSD but have yet to install it on the one, so I'm guessing that's not the issue either?
Before re-buying a fresh SSD, Windows did show me that one partition of the SSD was damaged (unsure of the exact wording rn, can check if needed). Which persisted past any attempts of Windows to repair the drive, until one random where it just showed to not be damaged anymore? Could that have corrupted the entire system??? Could it be motherboard related?
Sorry for the long post or if I've forgotten to mention anything, I'm pretty much a newbie when it comes to computers past the Following a tutorial to build the thing and troubleshooting via typing error codes on google, hence why I'm searching for some more intel now (I've exhausted my very limited knowledge).
Thank you for anyone willing to help me a little bit here! :-)
So I updated my bios for the asrock b850m pro-a to the latest version and for some reason my pc would only boot into bios every time not allowing me to boot into my ssd unless I turned on csm and turned off secure boot however when I do boot into my ssd my screens black with a white dash on the top left
-note: the black screen and white dash has always happened on boot ups even before I updated bios but now its just stuck on this screen
