  1. Not the first solution that would have come to mind, but it worked. Just finished 3 full rounds with zero issues.
  2. I have been having random hard resets, like if you pulled the power cable from the socket type resets, only while playing PUBG. The reset comes without warning, it does not blue screen first, it literally turns off as if you hit the power button. I have 1100 game hours and this issue only started occurring maybe 6 weeks ago. At first it was every 3rd or 4th round, now I struggle to make it through a single round without hard resetting. To be clear, this issue has only happened while playing PUBG. This hard reset issue has never occurred while playing any other game or while doing anything other than playing PUBG. Even demanding more recent games like Cyberpunk 2077 have been rock solid stable. Things I have tried already listed below: - replaced power supply unit with a new Corsair HX850 Platinum - removed overclock from CPU, disabled XMP profile for memory, running bone stock settings across entire BIOS - ran a full 4 pass test of memory using MemTest86, passed with no errors - monitored temps while playing PUBG, all temps well within normal limits - monitored temps while running stress test (OCCT), all normal - blew out dust from entire case - reseated memory modules - reseated GPU (also running stock settings) - full uninstall, manual deletion of trace files, and clean install of PUBG - video card drivers, motherboard firmware, and Windows 10 fully updated - tried running PUBG as administrator, disabled full screen optimization, render scale at 100 - tried the "processor state min/max to 99%" thing in power settings Windows 10 ver 1909 i7 5930K w/stock clock settings Asus X99 Deluxe motherboard 16GB Corsair memory Game installed on Samsung SSD, system does not have HDD at all MSI RTX 2080 Corsair HX850 PSU (brand new)
  3. UPDATE I decided to RMA the motherboard with Gigabyte, shipped the board out, traveled to Japan on vacation, came home and moved into new house, finally got time to reassemble my HTPC with the returned/repaired motherboard. Put everything together, pow, she's alive again. Don't know why the motherboard failed, but it's good to be back in business.
  4. I purchased a power supply tester today and as far as I can tell, my PSU is good. I tested the 24 pin, CPU, and SATA connectors, see attached pictures. I don't have a spare CPU kicking around I could try, and honestly the CPU seems unlikely as even though its an unlocked version, I have always ran it with stock clock since new. Should I start a support ticket with Gigabyte for my motherboard? Anything else I can try? This truly has me confused on where to go next.
  5. @kirashi Got home, removed all RAM, unplugged literally everything from the motherboard except for 24-pin and CPU power, front panel LED/switch/reset, and CPU fan. PSU unplugged and switched off, pressed the power button several times to remove any residual power. Bridged the CLR-CMOS pins for a few seconds, plugged the PSU in, turned the PSU switch on, pressed the power button...nothing, bridged the power switch motherboard pins...nothing. At this point is it safe to assume I have either a bad PSU or motherboard? I'm going to do a quick search for a cheap power supply tester, in the mean time, is there anything else I could try?
  6. Thank you kirashi, I will try the above steps tonight when I get home and report back. I obviously won't have a PSU tester tonight, but will proceed with the other mentioned diagnostic steps.
  7. Tried reseating both sticks, swapping slots, just one stick, even no sticks, system won't power on. My system is already pretty basic, aside from the memory mentioned above, I unplugged the SSD sata power, system did not power on. I only have a CPU, 2 sticks of memory, and one SSD installed in my HTPC. The wireless module came pre-installed with the motherboard so I don't know how much more stripping down I can do.
  8. System specifications are in my signature for HTPC Watching Netflix last night, computer froze, then quick Windows error message stating a problem occurred and the system needed to restart. System restarted, then immediate Windows error message again, restarted. Froze on the restart, hard reset, a few more failed restarts/restart then immediate error message and it was time for bed. I unplugged the computer from the wall hoping it would "find it's brains" over night. Started the computer tonight, got to the desktop, clicked around for 1 minute, Windows error message/restart. 3 or 4 more failed restarts and then I noticed the power button wasn't turning the computer on any more. Opened the case, thought maybe the power supply was bad, paper clip bridged the green and black 24-pin wires, PSU fan spun up (power supply good). Thought maybe the front panel power switch was bad, bridged the power switch motherboard header with tip of screwdriver, nothing. Something should spring to life if the power supply is good and the motherboard power switch header is bridged. Is there anything else I can double check? Or is this pretty much a toast motherboard? Thanks for any and all help.
  9. When in SLI, blower style cards, which are typically reference design cards. This should keep the card temps as low as possible vs aftermarket designs. That is the only regret I have with my X99 build, is not installing reference blower style cards. When I upgrade my cards, very likely to the 980Ti's, I will use reference cards.
  10. UPDATE This afternoon I felt like giving the Windows 10 install another go... Gaming Rig - initiated upgrade using the "Get Windows 10" desktop app, upgrade went 100% as planned, booted onto Windows 10 desktop, checked the system information page and verified was running an authentic version of Windows 10, shut PC down and booted onto USB drive to perform fresh Windows 10 install, fresh install went 100% as planned, booted onto Windows 10 desktop, checked the system information page, noticed an "activate Windows" type error message where the product key would normally display, thought "here we go again", decided to use the "chat with a Microsoft agent" option (don't remember exactly where I found this link, I think I clicked near the error code which opened a webpage, then from there I clicked a start chat option), after verifying my issue with the tech support guy I was given a genuine Windows 10 product key basically no questions asked, now my PC is running a fresh install of Windows 10 with the added bonus of now actually having a Windows 10 product key so I don't have to ever worry about changing any PC hardware and future Windows re-installs If anybody encounters Windows 10 activation errors, either after the upgrade, or if you decide to fresh install after the upgrade, contact Microsoft support and they may give you an actual product key as well.
  11. Adding a SSD and a video card, 950/960/750Ti, will make the current PC much more enjoyable to use. The rest of the build, although not totally amazing stuff, should get you by for another couple years.
  12. UPDATE Gaming Rig - After noticing so many failed Windows 10 updates within Windows Update history, downloaded Windows 10 media creation tool and clicked the "Upgrade this PC now" option, upgrade went 100% as planned, booted onto Windows 10 desktop, checked the system information page and verified was running an authentic version of Windows 10, shut PC down and booted onto USB drive to perform fresh Windows 10 install, fresh install went 100% as planned, booted onto Windows 10 desktop, checked the system information page, noticed an "activate Windows" type error message where the product key would normally display, figured the servers must have been busy, installed all the various drivers, checked for Windows activation again, still had error message, restarted, error message, tried more restarts and troubleshooting over the next few days, still error message, got tired of Windows 10 activation problem, reinstalled Windows 8.1 Anybody who has installed Windows fresh knows how long the process can take if you have a large library of files to back-up first. This entire process has drained my patience to the point that I have actually been considering just buying a Windows 10 licence so I can skip the "free upgrade" process. I guess for now I will run Windows 8.1, but the "I need to have the new new" side of me wants 10 so bad...First world problems to the max.
  13. Yeah, free Windows 10! I have 3 eligible machines for the free Windows 10 upgrade, one running Windows 7, and two running Windows 8.1. Laptop - Native Windows 7 machine, upgraded to Windows 10 via notification from the "Get Windows 10" app, upgrade went 100% as planned, once on Windows 10 desktop after upgrade, shut-down and clean installed Windows 10 using media creation tool, Windows 10 install went 100% as planned, laptop is now running a fresh, clean, Windows 10 install. Awesome! This went well. HTPC - Native Windows 8.1 machine, attempted upgrade to Windows 10 via notification from the "Get Windows 10" app, update downloaded, and verified, then prompted to restart to initiate upgrade, restarted machine, black screen for a few seconds, restarts onto Windows 8.1 desktop with "Windows update error", tried a few more times through Windows update, same thing, restart, boots back onto Windows 8.1 desktop with error message, reinstalled Windows 8.1 again so it was fresh, tried downloading Windows 10 media creation tool and selecting the "Upgrade this PC now" option, same thing again, update downloads, verifies, prompts me for a restart, and boots back onto Windows 8.1 desktop with error message. I have basically given up on a Windows 10 upgrade at this point for the HTPC. Gaming Rig - Native Windows 8.1 machine, noticed over 40 Windows 10 update errors while viewing "update history" but have yet to actually receive the update notification from the "Get Windows 10" app, most common error code is 80240020, haven't tried to manually update via media creation tool out of fear mostly. Will not worry about messing with my main rig until I'm confident the upgrade will go as planned. How has everybody else's experience gone? Is it coincidence that my Windows 7 machine went very well, and both my Windows 8.1 machines are having problems?
  14. Main gaming rig (X99) - AVG paid, AVG PC Tuneup, Spybot (will go to just Windows Defender and CCleaner when upgrade to Windows 10) HTPC - Windows Defender and CCleaner Laptop - Windows Defender and CCleaner
  15. Sounds like you're looking for confirmation that what your thinking is a good idea? I say go for it. Who says you can't buy it for XOne for the on the couch comfort, and then later buy it on PC for the superior mod support? If you're already thinking it's a good idea, then you don't need any of us to tell you otherwise. Personally, I will be playing it on PC as I prefer the mouse/keyboard controls.
