Still waiting on a Polestar 2 review! If things still aren't working out, I can bring mine to LTX 2023 for you guys to review!

This document is a summary of the issue and troubleshooting I have done. I will also attach system information files, event viewer errors and disk info files. Original error/problem: This is an abridged story but the key details are included. I bought some new Samsung 2TB 970 evo plus NVME SSDs and I installed them to my PC. I was playing Star Wars battlefront 2 2017 from those new drives, and when loading a new character to play the character did not load. I tried to respawn and then none of the characters would load, the game would still run though. I quit the game and tried to load it again, but it would not launch. I was confused why and restarted my PC. The problem went away, and I started to play again, but the same issue occurred. I then got concerned and ran a CHKDSK on the D: drive, which turned out fine. The problem continued and then I proceeded to reinstall windows. After installation of the OS and my games, the error still occurred. I restarted the PC again and left disk management open while I was playing and then when the error happened again. I saw that the disk became uninitialized in disk management and after a restart it was fine again. No data was corrupted, and no data was lost. I downloaded Samsung magician to scan the SSDs for any sector errors and that also turned out fine. I switched the drives around in their M.2 Slots and the same error occurred. I finally gave in and bought a new motherboard (MSI Board). The errors still happened on that motherboard, so I reinstalled windows again. STILL didn’t fix it. So, I called in the powers of RMA and got a replacement MSI motherboard and both Samsung SSDs. Brand new drives and another brand new mother later, I thought Ill just run them all as separate drives, C:, D:, and E:. but when I go to play the game on a new installation, the issue still occurs. I am completely lost, and I’ve tried all my troubleshooting ideas. I don’t know if it’s a CPU/PCIe lanes issue, or a Windows issue, or what. Here’s a list of what I have tried: · New hardware · Reinstall windows (about 5 times total) · Zeroing out the drives · Switching drive slots Next steps? I am starting to think that it is something to do with my amount of PCIe lanes/devices. I have never really understood it and would like to learn more. But any suggestions would be amazing, thank you all in advance.

Hey folks, (this was also posted on reddit r/troubleshooting) I just got myself 2x Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2TB drives that I want to put into RAID0 on my AORUS X570 Elite. I was able to find the AMD-RAIDXpert2 User Guide and followed those instructions. MAIN PROBLEM: After installing the RAID drivers for the windows installer, I started the installation, and less than 5 seconds into the installation I got an error of 0xc0000005. MY PROCESS: (pdf guide from AMD) (pdf guide from AORUS) UEFI/BIOS: -installed the 2 drives into the only 2 slots on my motherboard -booted the system into the UEFI/BIOS and enabled NVMe RAID (saved and reset) -booted back into the UEFI/BIOS and navigated to RAIDXpert2 config utility -proceeded to initialize both disks (saved and reset) -booted into UEFI again and went to RAIDXpert2>Array Management>Create Array -selected RAID level: 0 -selected physical disks (both drives) (array size is 3999668 MB) -created array (saved and reset) WINDOWS INSTALL: -Language and time in English -I pressed Install now -I chose I don't have a product key -I chose win 10 pro -I accept the EULA -Custom install *at this point there are still 2 disks listed on the "where to install windows"* -Load drivers -I clicked "Browse" to find the driver from my flash drive -I navigated to: D:\raid_windows_driver_930_00296\WIN10\x64\NVMe_CC\rcbottom\rcbottom.inf *I chose NVMe_CC due to my processor being a Ryzen 9 3900x* -I selected the .inf file and clicked next and waited for it to install *at this point there are 0 disks listed on the "where to install windows"* -Load drivers -I clicked "Browse" to find the driver from my flash drive -I navigated to: D:\raid_windows_driver_930_00296\WIN10\x64\NVMe_CC\rcraid\rcraid.inf -I selected the .inf file and clicked next and waited for it to install *at this point there is 1 disk listed on the "where to install windows", it is 3725GB* *I did try installing at this point and I got the same error* -Load drivers -I clicked "Browse" to find the driver from my flash drive -I navigated to: D:\raid_windows_driver_930_00296\WIN10\x64\NVMe_CC\rccfg\rccfg.inf -I selected the .inf file and clicked next and waited for it to install *at this point there is 1 disk listed on the "where to install windows", it is 3725GB* -I choose disk 0 and click next -copying windows files begins and stops at 0%. The error "Windows installation encountered an unexpected error. verify that the installation sources are accessible and restart the installation. Error code: 0xC0000005" appears in a new window. -pressing okay brings me back to the original "install now" screen at the beginning. and that's it, I've tried it multiple times and it's the same thing. My driver install process is very similar to this video: LINK (not my video) System specs: CPU: Ryzen 9 3900x (no overclock) MOBO: Aorus X570 elite rev1.0 (BIOS ver F37c) RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32 GB DDR4-3200 Drives: 2x Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2TB (Both installed direct to mobo m.2 slots and are detected as fine) GPU: EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 PSU: SeaSonic FOCUS GX 850 W I've attempted AMD-RAID windows drivers versions: 9.3.0.00296 (downloaded from AMD's website) 9.3.0.221 (downloaded from Aorus's website) If anyone has any ideas, suggestions, references, or questions about what I've done please let me know!

Thanks! That does make sense, I guess I just needed someone to explain it to me. Much appreciated!

Hey folks, My CPU is constantly running at its boost speed of 4.2 Ghz instead of its base 3.8 Ghz even at idle. I don't want it to be doing this so then it doesnt have to be running as hot, less power consumption, etc. I currently have a Ryzen 9 3900x that is running at base speeds on an Aorus X570 Elite. I just updated my bios to F37c and set my windows power power plan to balanced (windows 11 ver 10.0.22000 build 22000). Any support would be greatly appreciated!

I would never sell this card XD. The backplate is signed by all of LTT and a few other YouTubers from LTX 2019.

Indeed you're correct, but only from my overconfidence. Unfortunately I did end up killing it by getting too overconfident and pulling of a DRAM chip and a few capacitors. I got a used 1070 the same day to replace it.

When I first put the heatsinks on I cleaned off the grease from the chips, so they were locked on. Unfortunately I did end up killing it by getting too overconfident and pulling of a DRAM chip and a few capacitors. I got a used 1070 the same day to replace it.

I did like the Accelero III a lot I just wanted to switch back, lesson learned. Unfortunately I did end up killing it by pulling of a DRAM chip and a few capacitors. I got a used 1070 the same day to replace it.

I've got a GTX 1080 FE that I modded with an Arctic Accelero Xtreme III. I have now decided to go back to the founder edition cooler and I need to remove the heatsinks that I added to the card (see attached file). How do I remove the thermal adhesive? Ideally I would like the card to work after taking them off. I've looked at other online posts but there is a lot of conflicting information and some posts are more than 10 years old. Thanks in advance!

So I've been trying to get a 2008 Dell PowerVault NX3000 to recognize the drives in it's backplane, and make a single virtual drive. The RAID card has a green blinking light on it with the nearby text "Heartbeat_Error", I haven't been able to find any information on the light. The system works fine, post's and boots. I've tried every single drive in every single slot, one at a time. Then after I tested all of the drives, 4/6 showed as working and 2 detected as failed. I then tried to make a virtual drive with the working 4 through the RAID controller configuration, the system auto made 2 virtual drives. After trying to install windows (which I won't do again, I'll use Linux) the system restarted and reported the Virtual Drive as "degrading". Of course Dell won't help because it's out of warranty. Any thoughts, questions or comments would really help. The Dell service tag is 8TP85L1, the RAID controller is a PERC 6/I.

Thanks people for the help (it worked)

How can I do that?

Alright... here's the thing... I hit the power button on my computer and I hear it turn on, the fans and hard drive spin up (all the lights illuminate as well). The computer seems to be on, except the display has no input, the computer gives no postcode (including speaker beeps) and there is no hard drive activity on the light. This happens about 1/2 the time I hit the power button. I turn off the computer and turn it on and the system can do the same thing. Even after turning the PSU off and holding the power button, then turning it back on, it can still occur (still about 1/2 the time). This also occurred on the first PC that I built (the only similarities with that was the same kind of RAM and PSU other than that totally different). No overclocks and no boot devices still happens. It has gotten to the point where windows cant install b/c the system tries to reboot but doesn't get to the bios so it fails. My current config: Ryzen 5 1600X ASRock AB350M Pro 4 mobo corsair CX 650 PSU 8GB (2x4gb) 2400 Crucial Ballistix Ram Gtx 1080 FE (I'm not including drives w/ this because this happens with all drives I've tried) (if it matters) 1500 VA UPS 4K LG monitor Please let me know if you have any questions, ideas or fixes. Thanks in advance, FG

I don’t have much experience with streaming but from what I have learned you should aim for high core count like a R7 (ryzen 7) or i7. Luke on LTT made a personal rig and talked a little about streaming and with some benchmarks, Look into it.
