I probably should mention that I have a DVD drive... I have it disabled in the BIOS though.

The thing is, I should be able to get a 15 second boot. I have a pretty good SSD, and I can barely scratch the 1-minute mark. (Also, fast startup doesn't make a difference for me. I'd much rather have my programs load fresh anyway.) I'm considering buying a Samsung 960 EVO... This is absolutely ridiculous. Also, has anyone heard of that weird thing where the windows logo goes away for a second and comes back pixellated?

Also, the thing with the logo flashing and then going to a lower resolution happened on my old computer too.

Is there any known fix? A few days ago, I got it to the point where the windows screen appeared for only a couple of seconds, then went to the password screen... But it went back to garbage times.

Warning: this post may sound kind of whiny. About 2 months ago, I built a new computer. The parts are relatively new (newly released, all brand new.): CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 OC 3.55 Ghz Motherboard: Gigabyte AX370 Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3000 @2933Mhz SSD: Intel 545s 512GB HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB GPU: MSI GTX 1080 DUKE OC PSU: Corsair CX650M OS: Windows 10 Pro Recently, I've decided to start troubleshooting why it takes a long time for windows 10 to start. I have ultra fast boot enabled in the UEFI, but I don't have fast boot enabled in Windows 10. (I've noticed that it doesn't really make a difference.) When turn it on, I get the Aorus logo for a few seconds, and then the blinking white line for a bout half a second. Then it switches to the windows loading screen, and the little stupid circle thing starts. It stays for about 10 seconds, then the screen flashes black for about a second. The windows loading screen reappears, but is noticeably lower resolution, and the framerate of the balls is worse. It stays there for another 10 seconds, and goes to the logon screen. This really pisses me off, because I didn't just spend $1800 on a new computer with an ssd for it to take longer to start than my old one with a 2007 Hard drive. What I've done: Removed the CPU overclock Make the SSD the first boot priority. Toggled windows 10 fast boot I also downloaded the Intel SSD Toolbox. Whenever I try to use the TRIM feature, it says some BS about a RAID array, which I don't have. Last Issue, maybe related? Sometimes, when I try to start it, after about 2 seconds when the light goes on, it shuts off. After about another 2 seconds, it turns back on, and does it all again. This entire build has turned out to be a major pain. I just want it to be able to work, and do its job without maintenance every day. Thanks!

Since you mentioned that you wanted a low TDP one, I would check out the Phenom II X4 910e. It has a TDP of 65w, and has pretty high performance for an AM2+ cpu.

In terms of stability testing, the stress test went just fine on my cpu even at 3.7 Ghz. As for the RAM, I'm not sure if you would call it overclocking. I had to enable XMP to get it to reach 2933 rather than it's supposed 3000. Before, it was running at 2133.

I ran windows memory diagnostic and came out with no errors... Malwarebytes also came up clean.

I just built my first real full build about a month ago. In the past week, I've been having a couple issues. 1. Randomly, I've been getting black screens, where the fans go up to 100%, and I lose video. Only thing that fixes it is a reset. This isn't something that happens incredibly often, but I figured I'd include it. I also got a BSOD the other day... "Driver IRQL Not Less Or Equal" ntoskrnl.exe+ 1778a9 2. Sometimes, when I turn on the computer, it turns on for a few seconds, then turns off. I turns itself on, and then off, and so on. The only fix for this is just pressing the power button again, and it boots up normally. System specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 OC 3.55 Ghz Motherboard: Gigabyte AX370 Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3000 @2933Mhz SSD: Intel 545s 512GB HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB GPU: MSI GTX 1080 DUKE OC PSU: Corsair CX650M I really don't have any idea as to what this stuff could be caused by. All the temperatures are within their limits, even while stress testing or gaming. I just want to get this working and as reliable as one of those damn prebuilt ones... Thanks!

18650

Doesn't the charger doctor just show voltage??

I have no idea how to code it. I know what to look for in terms of batteries, so that's not an issue.

I figured that wiring the cells in series would prevent that from happening. I really don't have a lot of experience when it comes to electrical design and C++, so that could be a pain in my ass.

Does anyone know enough to make this a little more customized? I kinda want it to turn on automatically... and show an indicator of how much is left... Would it be safe to just open up a decent power bank, steal the electronics, and add more cells? Would the circuits be able to handle it?

So... I really want to build myself a custom battery bank, using 18650 cells, or something similar. The case will be 3d printed, but I'm a little fuzzy on what to do when it comes to the electronics of them, and I'd rather not go the way of just buying some piece of junk that wont work from China. Really need some help on this...
