Ok, so it seems it was a power supply issue. Computer started shutting off while in use, checked the PSU and it was very hot. Corsair and only a year old so my luck is just shit.

I flashed the BIOS to the latest version, but the computer shut off again when left unattended I have set the hard disk to never turn off I have set the sleep timer to never I have turned off hybrid sleep I have set it to never hibernate I just changed the display setting to also never turn off, but I don't know if that will do anything

I downloaded it, but can you point me to how to actually flash the BIOS since I have never done that before?

My desktop recently (within the last week or two) started shutting down completely instead of going to sleep. I have checked the power settings, drivers, made sure windows was up to date and run sfc/scannow but nothing has resolved the issue. It runs fine when I am actually using it. I built the computer about a year ago and it has the following specs Windows 10 GIGABYTE X570 AORUS PRO WIFI AMD - Ryzen 5 3600 cooled with CORSAIR - Hydro Series H100i 240 mm AIO GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2070 Super WINDFORCE OC 3X G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 32GB (2x16) Samsung 970 EVO 1 TB PCIE Gen 3 x4 NVME SSD Seagate BarraCuda ST4000DM004 4 TB 5400 RPM 256 MG Cache HDD CORSAIR - CX-M Series 650W ATX12V modular power supply

I got it installed by setting the first drive in the boot order to the target and the second to the bootable USB, it seems that it will work if I just go into the BIOS each time I want to switch OS, but I am wondering if there is a better way.

I was trying to go to partition manually, I will take pictures in an hour or so

So, I have a 1 TB SSD and 4 TB HDD that I want to use for windows and a 500 GB SSD and a 1 TB HDD that I want to use for ubuntu. I already have windows installed on the 1 TB SSD and have files on the 4 TB HDD, I just physically installed the 500 GB and 1TB drives and then formatted them in windows. I have a bootable ubuntu install USB but I am having difficulties during the install telling the computer which drives are for what, it is saying that the drive doesn't have a root file system, how do I set that up?

Memtest ran overnight and reported no issues, I will try Prime95 tonight, I did just update the AMD chipset drivers so it might have been that.

I used the windows memory diagnostic to test the memory

I just built my first PC a couple weeks ago, specs are as follows AMD Ryzen 3600 Corsair Hydro Series H100i AIO cooler Gigabyte X570 Aorus pro wifi Gigabyte 2070 Super Windforce 2x16 G.Skill RGB 3600 Hz ram Samsung 970 Evo plus 1 TB SSD (system drive) Seagate Barracuda ST4000M004 4 TB HDD Corsair CX-M 650 W PSU I installed windows 10 and updated all the drivers, but for some reason the computer keeps hanging at random times and also seems to hang upon first login after a restart. I have tested the memory and it came back fine, I have checked system files and they came back fine. I don't currently have any OC's applied except for the XMP profile on the RAM, but I tried taking that off as well and it still hung a couple times. What are some other troubleshooting things I might be able to try?

yes, that is the problem I have encountered. so it looks like I may have to try a clean install...

how can I unlock it without the password? I think there might be some old files that I can't find anywhere else. it is running windows 7.

no, it appears to be sandisk Edit: I just double checked and it does appear to be a Samsung NVME, is that a problem?

sfc/scannow did not find any errors

doing that now

it is compatible with windows 10 (but it seems incapable of running any of the windows 10 updates past 1607, or the major update that was released in july of 2016, there have been 2 updates since then, the latest being 1709)

not yet, that is the only thing I haven't tried yet that I could think of, I just didn't want to go through the hassle of backing everything up and then reinstalling all of my programs...

So, I created a post about this a few days ago, but I feel that there is enough new info to warrant a new post. About a week ago, windows update assistant installed itself on my computer and started attempting to update me to the newest version of windows 10 since I am more than 2 versions out of date now. Unfortunately, every time it tries to update me to 1709 the update fails, usually with no error message, it just simply fails. I have tried doing a manual update with the download from here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 but that failed as well, and blue screened upon restart, the blue screen was able to be resolved by going to the BIOS and just going to save and exit, however the update still failed. After trying all of these solutions on my own, I contacted windows support last night, I am not entirely sure what they did, but they were also unsuccessful in updating me past 1607. They pointed me to this page https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1013416/, which seems to indicate that my computer (ASUS ROG GL502VS-DB71) which was purchased in october of 2016 is not compatible with the latest version of windows. Could someone here please give me any suggestions or try to explain to me why a computer with an intel i7-6700 HQ and enough space on the SSD could be almost instantly incompatible with any later versions of windows (it hasn't been compatible with either version since I purchased it)? I tried contacting ASUS support, but they didn't seem to understand the issue I was having and were telling me to try installing it again.

so, microsoft recently somehow installed the windows 10 update assistant on my computer (I don't remember installing it) and it has been downloading updates every single day for nearly a week now. I checked it out and it seems to be legit, but for some reason it doesn't seem like it is actually successfully installing the update. This is the screen it is currently giving me, but I am pretty sure it has done this several times before. could someone please help me out here? I went to the windows site and downloaded the exe to manually install the new update, but it just took me back to this... I have scanned it with malwarebytes and avast and they both came back clean.

G5s plus, not the G5 plus, it is the updated version

I know it released in the UK last month, but all I can find for the US is "Autumn". I will be visiting family in the US in late October and was wondering what you guys think the chances are of it being released there by that time. I live in Israel, so buying it here is not really an option (due to price and the fact that it just isn't available)

in what terms? I mean I know that if you have way too little storage an SD card won't help since large portions of many apps have to be on the internal memory, but is there some other reason?

ok, thanks

So I am planning on getting a new phone for myself in the next month and have decided to get the Motorola Moto G5 plus, but I can't decide if it is worth paying an extra $70 USD to upgrade, the only differences are the storage and the RAM, the $229 phone has 32/2 GB and the $299 phone has 64/4 GB. I don't generally use my phone for particularly intensive apps, but I made the mistake last time of buying a cheaper phone and it not meeting my needs (then again that phone was only $120 so...). Anyway, what do you people suggest?
