    Good luck hunting.

    Don't bother with the drive. If you can actually feel the head jumping then that HDD is finished. Each time that head jumps up it's going to come down and scratch your platter. There's no recovery from that. RMA it.

    I agree. Especially if the GPU asks for lets say 550 watts and the PSU tries to deliver that, while also delivering another 100 watts to the rest of the computer. You can't always expect safety systems to safe the day. They can fail and Corsair can reject the RMA because your GPU is out of spec.

    Are you able to replace the 1070 with another GPU, any GPU will do.

    It all depends on your CPU and motherboard. Update your bios to the latest version first, Then set DOCP and then manually select speed to 2133Mhz. Go up in speed with each restart until you hit instability and let us know.

    Many printers share drivers. Use a driver from from the newest printer the same family. If that doesn't work then try to use a driver from the same class of printer. If possible find out what driver HPLIP is using. It shouldn't be using your exact driver.

    If it's not USB then I would suggest checking if your computer is grounded correctly. Edit: You can still shut down your system without a keyboard and mouse. Just tap the power button, or as it's shutting down pull both out.

    Unplug all your USB devices, and if needed also unplug all your internal USB devices. One of those are probably still drawing power. My external USB Blu Ray drive does exactly what you're describing.

    Either you had a corrupted bios or you input an incorrect setting in bios. Pulling the battery will reset the motherboard to default settings.

    Some motherboards have multiple Sata chips. For instance my motherboard has 6 ports. 4 are controlled by AsMedia, and 2 are by Intel. Check your manual and it will tell you what ports are controlled by what controller. You may find that one of your controllers is dying and that's causing all 4 to die at once.

    After a few failed boots it should auto switch to the second bios.

    There's not much you can do about coil whine but you can reduce it slightly. A better PSU can often help, Lowering the voltage on the parts drawing the power, Limiting frame rates to lower the power draw, Kick your fans up a notch if you don't mid fan noise, A noise cancelling case, buying noise cancelling foam and placing it in the case yourself.

    The small holes I wouldn't worry about. Focus all of your efforts within the slots. Don't power on the system until you're completely happy with the cleaning. Having non conductive paste is a double edge sword. Yes it will stop pins from shorting, but it will also add resistance to each pin and if the power ones are not cleaned enough then you can get burning. Those holes are gaps for the pins to be passed through when the dim slots are being made. There's no physical way for the pins to touch each other in those small holes, so neither will the paste. This will however void your motherboards warranty. Doesn't matter what issue the motherboard has, once they see paste on those slots then will send it back.

    Have you got the front panel connected to the correct pins, or shorting the correct power pins?

    I would use IPA, or a specific TIM remover. Pour a few drops into the slot. Get a credit / debit card and put a thin cloth over it. Like a thin smooth t-shirt. Don't use tissue. Put the card and shirt into the slot and wipe with a up and down (in and out motion). Don't slide the card side to side, you could bend a pin. Repeat as often as you feel needed.

    ERP is a power saving feature. When you have it activated it cuts all power to almost everything in the PC when it is off. Having it off means your PC still receives power when the computer is off. Using either setting is your choice. Do you want to save power? Then have ERP on. Do you want USB ports activated when your computer is off? Then have ERP off. Now does the double power cycle harm your computer? No. No it causes no harm. This is very typical on Asus motherboards, and can happen on others. 8/10 it's optimising memory training. Nothing to worry about.

    I had this once. Unlikely this will solve for you, but check if you have something called "PPL overvoltage" within bios. If you do then disable it. I don't think AMD has it, but give it a check.

    If it has never booted before then the RAM would be at 2133Mhz until you set it to 3600Mhz. Try only one stick of ram/

    I would say it's a power problem. When you quit a heavy application it creates a power spike on the component processing it. I would guess somewhere along the chain something is failing to control the spike which is causing the PSU to cut out. So it's most likely your PSU, but can also be the motherboard.

    On Windows 7, when the balls flash on the loading screen it means it's loading the drivers. So either you have bad drivers (unlikely as you've tried so many OS's) or you have faulty hardware. The results you're saying normally points to a bad GPU. Did you remove the GPU completely?

    My guess is your boot record is on the HDD and not the m.2. This will slow down your boot times as you need to wait for the HDD to seek. If you ever remove the HDD, or it fails, then you will lose your Windows install. You can rebuild your boot sector so it's on the the m.2 but in my experience it's hit or miss.

    He's talking about msconfig, advanced settings, manually input max ram.

    The ram on E-bay is the same as the one you already have. The numbers on the top right are just batch identifiers and are not performance related.

    Your BSOD codes are all over the place. They are pointing towards bad RAM, BAD CPU, bad OS and a ruined GPU driver. Have you tried running linux, or another fresh windows install on that 3rd unused HDD to check your OS for corruption? You can run linux of a USB if needed.

    You're using the specific Ryzen built power plan?
