  1. Make sure what the RAM is set to as auto can be unpredictable.

    Any other scenario where your PC is unstable/crashes ? Maybe stress test it (use prime95 for CPU, MemTest for ram and Furmark for GPU) so that we could know if there is any issue with hardware, bios settings.

    I’m using the Ryzen 5600x and for the gpu I have an evga GeForce gtx 1080ti. No power cycling or post beeps. 😞

    Pull all ram out. Install only 1 stick of new ram into the slot DIMMA2 and power on (try both new ram sticks this way)

    • Did bios load (accessible) ?
    • After power cycling from bios did system load ?

    If only on one bios and system loaded and on the other nothing = defective ram.

    If both worked separately then for the time being only idea is that you inserted them in wrong slots.

    If both worked try plugging them both at the same time (make sure you're using DIMMA2 and DIMMB2) and note what happens.

    If none worked then faulty ram

     

    ps did you update the bios ? You wrote that you tried resetting cmos battery, did you just took it out and put back in ? Maybe clear bios using the button on mobo (manual on msi webpage shows location and tells what to do)

    Okay, I updated my BIOS and I will call it a day. I will buy a new USB drive tomorrow and try my luck again. I hope that will work....

    Thank you so so much for your help thank you thank you!!! 

     

    Your welcome, hope that you will be able to install it soon (if anything comes up again - ping me here)

     

    A small path for testing that 64gb if you will go with it, test with linux live distro

    • pass (linux distro launches) -  redownload windows iso (use microsoft tool for creating bootable drive, for both creation and booting use usb 2.0 port) and test that 
      • Same thing again - disconnect m.2 drive and relaunch installer
        • installer launches normally = m.2 drive faulty or some weird bios setting like bandwidth
        • installer not launches = usb stick damaged 
      • Installer launches , installed OS , success and end of topic
    • not passed (live distro not bootable)  - usb stick on it's last legs probably and new one will be needed (would use this one for any not backed up data.

    If on new usb stick same thing happens please check above points also.

    Okay, I was able to boot into lubuntu from a different USB stick with no issue. Sadly, I have no 8gb USB stick that I could use for the Win10 installation, if my 64GB one is the culprit. I also can't burn a dvd for unknown reasons. So my only option is to buy a new USB drive I guess? 

    Using different usb stick for lubuntu is pointless to be honest. While suggesting live linux distro i did it so that you would test that 64gb stick. If that test will pass then in my opinion your windows iso image is at fault.

  5. Just now, Roseluck said:

    I can see the m.2 drive in my device manager, but I can't allocate disk space to it using the disk manager.

     

    By the way, I used FreeIso to burn the dvd and ran into the exact same problem as before. It got stuck on 100% and the RPM kept increasing until the drive made concerning noises. 

    Looks like a problem with drive or bios problem (maybe something like bandwidth setting). Newest bios or some old version ? Does you mobo manual have any annotations about m.2 <> sata collisions (like if you use m.2 those sata ports will be disabled etc).

     

    Stuck iso burning might be burner fault, dvd disk fault but if we add that to usb stick installer not working this could be a faulty iso image.

    The drive is correctly identified in my bios. I haven't tried removing it, because I would also need to remove my GPU for it. Since I never even got the USB drive to boot, I didn't bother with the m.2 drive so far. How big is the chance, that just the presence of a m.2 drive prohibits me from booting from USB?

     

    To continue my tale, I tried cancelling the burn process of the .iso on a disk, because it was stuck. This caused both explorer.exe and taskmanager to fail and I had suffocate my PC in order to restart it. I can't believe how many troubles I have to go through, just to install windows... 

     

    If I can't burn win10 to dvd, I'll try a linux distro to see if my USB drive is at fault.

    btw Is the new drive visible on the old win10 install ?

     

    ps. did you check that usb stick with any tool for errors ?

  7. 1 minute ago, Roseluck said:

    I disconnected my old drive before trying to install the new OS on my new drive. 

     

    I tried using my USB 2.0 ports, it made no difference.

    Can you recommend me a linux distro would make sense to use?

     

    Right now I am trying to create a Win10 DVD using the .iso, but it got stuck on 99% and won't continue. Microsoft does everything in their power to make it as hard as possible to install windows...

    You could try xubuntu / lubuntu / Puppy Linux

     

    Additional things:

    1. Is the new drive correctly identified in bios ?

    2. Is win10 installer launching without new drive connected or the same issue is present ?

  8. Hi,

     

    First thing did you disconnect old drive with win10 before attempting to install new OS on new drive ?

     

    Have you tried:

    1. Using USB 2.0, sometimes 3.0/3.1 can cause issues with bootable usb drives

    2. any linux live distro to check if anything starts from that usb stick / port

    Hello,

    I've build a new computer for my brother with these parts:

    CPU: Ryzen 2600

    MOBO: Gigabyte 450M S2H

    RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V F4-3200C16D-16GVKB

    GPU: Sapphire Radeon RX 470 4G D5

    PSU: Cooler Master MWE Bronze 450W V2

    SSD: XPG SX8200 Pro 512GB

    I have installed windows 10 + updates and all drivers.

    I've had 4 freezes-no signal errors,

    1 was while unpacking a rar file, 1 is while installing some ninite programs, 1 was in League Of Legends practice tool and also got 1 right after a reboot.

    It seems like I randomly get a freeze, cant use mouse, its stuck, and then 2-3 seconds later the monitor goes to black/grey and gives me no signal.
    It will stay like that till I press the reboot button, when I press reboot everything works fine again.

    So far i've tried updating the BIOS to the newest version, tried AMD's latest optional driver but still got the problem.

    Could it have to do something with the XMP profile? Or is it hardware related (GPU, PSU, MOBO, RAM or even the monitor)

    If you need any more info let me know, really want to fix this for my brother.

    Could be RAM related. Try to set you memory timings manually using "DRAM Calculator for Ryzen"

    I just built a new rig:

     

    AMD Ryzen 5 5600x

    Asus B550-F Gaming Wifi mobo

    EVGA GTX 780 (waiting for new GPU)

    HX1000 PSU

     

    I moved it from my old system where it was using the same PSU and cables. Working perfectly. Now in the new system I can get the card to display but the fans are stuck at 0 RPM even under load. I cannot manually get them to run, and none of the fan curves work. The graphics card continues to heat up and hits 100c under load, then crashes the PC. Fans do not kick in ever. I ran DDU, re-installed the drivers, removed and re-installed the card, removed and re-installed the PCIe cables. Still nothing is working. This card was working yesterday in my old rig perfectly... Anybody have any thoughts?? 

    From your post I see that you tried almost everything software side - any conflict on fan control software like having afterburner and precision x installed at the same time ?

    "Fans do not kick in ever." not even during boot ?


    Looking at this picture of evga 780 the fan header (white plastic right of power cables) it dangerously close to fins. Maybe during moving the card or during plugging power cord you press a bit to hard in that place at the fins to smashed into fan header. To check this you would have to take the cooler off and look at the header and fan cables if not damaged.

    List of  question suggesting what to check basicly

    . Did you try a different DP cable on that GPU ?

    2.Did you try this DP cable on a different device ?

    3. Do you have a known good cable from another device that could be used to check this gpu ?

    4.Did you try different monitor on this gpu+dp cable ?

    5. Nothing weird in Nvidia panel?

    6. Did you try a clean install of nvidia drivers ?

    7. Is it working normally on dp/hdmi without OC?

  12. @Ship1617

    even without ssd/hdd you should be able to get into bios

     

    without gpu ? it depends if  you have a cpu with inbuild graphic and monitor is connected to mobo output

     

    auto-reboot usually is not due to lack of disk/os as it would just wait for a drive/command etc

     

    Maybe start with listing your parts ;)

    copies on all kinds of drives and all this unallocated space

    You mean you got partitions that use only a part of disks ? Your post is kind of all over the place :) 

     

    When not sure of what was done etc and having a copy of data a wipe is a good thing because you start with clean slate and setup everything from scratch as it should be.

    I’m not able to find the right header ugh

    Use manual for your mobo  - they can be found on mobo manufacture website

    IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

    That can have a lot of underlying causes so it doesn't say much.

     

    I'm of out ideas sorry, it's either RAM or PSU.

     

    edit: last one tiny thing. You tested RAM module individually  but did you try to run the system with only one for a bit to see if it crashes - then switch modules and try the second one this way. You could call it battle testing not with synthetic loads/tests.

    No I'm an not getting into the bios. The monitor stays black and the fans all spin

    Did you try putting only one stick of ram at the time ? Make sure you put the ram in correct slot when putting only one stick.

    Did you try min setup to check if you get into bios at least - min setup I mean mobo+cpu+one ram+psu ofc but no gpu, no drive etc. Did you try to reset bios (i know you got new mobo but we need to make sure that's it in default setting.

    I've been getting hit with Asus Anti-Surge Protection out of the blue recently, I've tried everything, I have no clue what else I can do. I haven't had a single issue with my build until now. Built somewhere between 2013-2016. I installed a new Thermaltake Smart Pro 650W last night, 5min into CS:GO anti-surge is trigger and back to ruin my entire night. My BIOS is updated, drives updated, I'm in the dark now on this...

     

    [UserBenchmarks: Game 78%, Desk 89%, Work 63%]

    https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/26575407

     

    My Build -

    • Intel Core i7-6700K 4 GHz Quad-Core Processor

    • Noctua NH-U12S chromax.black 55 CFM CPU Cooler

    • Asus SABERTOOTH Z170 S ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

    • EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti SC GAMING ACX 2.0+

    • Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-2400 Memory

    • Samsung 850 Pro Series 256 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive

    • Western Digital BLACK SERIES 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

    • OCZ ModXStream Pro Power Supply - 600W

    • JUST INSTALLED Thermaltake Smart Pro 650W

     

    I no longer believe the PSU is the issue, it must be my GPU or MoBo. I don't know how I can figure out if that's true as I have no backups to test with. Any ideas?

    Simplest things first : are all the power cables plugged all the way in (especially 8pin for CPU)?

     

    How frequently is this happening ? When did it start ? Only under load or even on desktop/web browsing ?

    Is there anyone i can personally pay to help me fix this problem with my PC, It crashes very often so I tested the hardware and got these error messages:

     

    Error verifying data in RAM, The data written to memory is not the same as the information read from memory. This is a very serious error and it’s highly likely that your computer is about to lock up or crash

     

    FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.471224523, expected less than 0.4 Hardware failure detected, consult stress.txt file.

     

    I took out each stick of RAM one at a time and the problem remained

    Hi,

     

    With what did you test ram to get such an info ?

     

    For RAM testing always use MemTest. Is the RAM still under warranty ? Is this a new, store bought PC  ? How long after building/buying this system crashes started?

    From my Reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/g2mtat/asrock_b450m_hdvr40_wont_boot/

     

    Parts:
    ASRock b450m hdv,-r4.0 motherboard,
    Amd ryzen 3 2200g,
    Gskill 2x4 3200mhz ram,

     

    I have replaced everything but the case

     

    I have used this computer for about 6 months and one day it doesn't boot. I go throught all the regular troubleshooting steps. Reseat the ram, cables, plug in the case speaker and listen for beeps. Remove all the ram and listen for beeps. Nothing. So I thought "must be the motherboard" so I check and it still has warranty so I send it to ASRock and they send a new one back with updated bios to make sure that wasn't a problem as well. I put it all back together and I have the same issue. The fans spin and no beeps. I do the same troubleshooting steps to no avail. So I send the CPU back to amd. I got that back today and it STILL has the same issue. My question is what do I do now? Do I request a boot kit do I replace something else? I don't know what to do at this point.

     

    Hi,

    First things first- are you getting into bios /  monitor gets the signal but stays black or nothing at all (only fans)?

    hello. i have a msi h87-g43 military class four. every time i turn it on i have a black screen. everything works and all parts were tested individually. Every time i plug a cable like hdmi or dvi into the motherboard it slows down the fans. But when i plug it into the gpu it still is full speed fans. Anything?

    Hey,

    Kinda looks like either a psu problem with powering the mobo or mobo itself. Is the system working at all (os, bios anything?) when put altogether or is it only powering on prebios and stuck ?

     

    You wrote that all parts were tested individually ? All of them even mobo with different cpu/psu/ram/gpu ?
