  1. Okay, so I was able to fix the issue! I did what you said and was able to boot into windows, but I was still trying to figure it out what the problem was. When it booted tonight, I noticed my pc gets quieter when it locks up, I noticed it was the gpu fans stopping completely. Tried reinstalling the gpu driver with no change and I remembered having an issue with the integrated graphics a long time ago, so I disabled them, restarted my PC and boom, it boots! I appreciate the help none the less, thank you again!
  2. I know, I use to swear by that back when I was a full-time technician, it's still important, I just have so, much data now, it's extremely difficult to do until more money comes in for more drives. Luckily, if all my drives died tomorrow, nothing important would be lost, just my programs. It would be a pain to figure out everything I have, but that's what I get for not backing up. I'm going to try a few more things before I absolutely have to reinstall windows.
  3. I'm sorry I shouldn't have stated that it would keep my password, I know it would delete all programs. The reason I wanted to do the reset is to have a list of previously installed applications, so I could go back through and see what I need to reinstall. Windows Reset for the most part has always been a failsafe for me, as if I had an issue similar to this, it would normally fix it besides this moment and one other situation, while still keeping all your data on the computer. I know it's not a good thing to rely on Windows to keep your files during something like that, but I just don't have to the time anymore to backup my data before a reset. So, for me it just made it convenient.
  4. No, I just used the built in one, but it crashed while doing it. If I have to start from scratch I can, but I didn't want to have to log back in to everything, but if I have to, I have to.
  5. I'm kinda at a loss and I will take any help I can get. So yesterday, I tried to mod my z87 motherboard to allow for full NVME support for a new SSD I got from a friend. I bought an adapter to plug it in to a PCI-E slot and it could be detected into windows perfectly fine, but I couldn't boot from it after I cloned it from my current SSD. I knew it was because of lack of NVME support, as it couldn't be detected from the BIOs. So, I went and modified the BIOs to hopefully allow it to detect the drive and boot from it. After the reflash, the computer booted up fine. I went to the boot menu and saw the new ssd now, but it still wouldn't boot from it. When I tried to go back into windows it would boot like normal, but after the windows logo is gone, the screen stays black and the fans spin really slow, which usually tells me the computer locked up. I thankfully made a backup of the old BIOs, but after a reflash, no change is made. I can only boot into safe mode, but I can't boot normally. I've tried updating all my drivers and even doing a windows reset, but during the reset process, it locked up again. If anyone has any suggestions, I would really appreciate it, as I don't want to lose everything on my boot drive yet. I did plan on reinstall windows when I upgrade my computer this year, but I just want to use it until then. I can provide more information if needed.
  6. That was the first thing I looked for, but I was unable to find one on the card.
  7. All the bios on Gigabytes website were mainly for Hynix memory, and the one I have is samsung, so I found an unverified bios on techpowerup forum and it worked, but MSI afterburner won't let me overclock it and any overclock I do in AMDs software makes it perform worse, could it be because of the bios I have?
  8. I appreciate the quick reply, I found a couple of bios online, I'm going to try a couple out and then give an update, thank you!
  9. I recently bought an RX 570 from someone for super cheap. He told me the reason it was so cheap was because the card was used for mining, so he flashed the bios to help it perform better with mining. He never made a back up of the bios when he did it, so he just sold the card as is. I wanted to know if their was anyway to reflash back to a factory bios. I'm aware that I can just modify the driver to work, but it would require a driver reinstall after each windows update and I'm trying to help a friend out that isn't very computer savvy. Information I know about the card, it's a Gigabyte Gaming RX 570, with 4gb of GDDR5, in gpu-z the memory shows up as micron, but when you open the card, the chips show Samsung.
  10. I had it in a pull configuration to make it easier to clean, my overclock wasn't major, so it worked good up until that point. Makes sense, I appreciate the information.
  11. So, from what it sounds like, the pump is probably failing.
  12. Fractal design r5 This makes sense considering my temps fixed when I moved the radiator into the front of the case, probably easier for the pump to move the water through the radiator. Considering the age of the unit.
  13. I thought if the pump failed, the aio wouldn't function at all. I feel like this could be possible, my aio is 4 years old at this point. Could a liquid aio still function if the pump is broken?
  14. That's what I thought, but I had people tell me it shouldn't make that big of a difference. The radiator wasn't leaking, and I did reinstall new thermal paste and it made a small difference, but not enough to stop the throttling and I made sure to clean it before I reinstalled it, with the same problem. My 980 ti uses an exhaust style system, that blows the air into the case.
