HIII! it's been months, but i finally fixed the issue. roll back the BIOS to an older version (221 for me) using ASUS EZ FLASH 3 and a USB, smooth sailing ever since. it's some issue relating to the NVIDIA driver, since whenever i uninstalled the driver using DDU, the laptop was stable (but can't use a laptop without the GPU ainnit) anyways, hope this helps!

Didn't visit the forums in a while, but nice to see someone who can relate lol. I've tried everything. Complete reset of windows, SSD format, driver re-install (both new AMD drivers and older ASUS specific ones), and still happens. Not sure what to do at this point, apart from giving it for service, where they might just ask me to replace the whole motherboard lol.

thankyouu! :")

have heard of that as well, hopefully I can get a GPU upgrade sometime down the line!

Hey y'all! After years of dreaming about building my own PC, and watching countless LTT videos, I've finally built my first PC. Technically built this in mid-2021, but never got around to posting about it until now haha. Being in India, PC part prices are MUCH higher than in the US, so that might explain why the specs don't quite match up to the price tag haha. Anyways, here are the specs. Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Motherboard: ASUS Prime B450M-A II RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB 3000Mhz (8x2) GPU: Asus ROG Strix 1070 (Used) Storage: Crucial P2 1TB PCIe M.2 Power Supply: Silverstone Viva 650 Bronze Bronze Case: Deepcool Matrexx 40 Fans: Ant eSports Superflow 120 (x3) Monitor: ViewSonic XG2405 24" 1080p 144Hz Keyboard: Redragon K552 RGB (Outemu Blue Switches) Mouse: Regragon M606 I've very creatively named this build "IceStorm" since, uhm, the white / cyan RGB lighting looks good on it, lol. Here's a lil' highlight reel I shot of the build! Hope Y'all enjoy :")

Hey! I've had a Zephyrus G15 GA502IU [R7 4800HS, GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q, 16GB 3200 MHz RAM (8GB Soldered)] for about a year and a half, and suddenly I've been experiencing random stability issues. The system doesn't shut down, but the screen either freezes in place or blacks out. This only seems to happen when the laptop is idling or running low energy tasks like web browsing, as when running heavy tasks (4+ hour flights in Microsoft Flight Simulator, 10-hour renders in 3D applications), the system seems completely fine. This started when i was on Windows 10, and 11 doesn't have seemed to have changed anything. Would be immensely helpful if y'all had any insights / suggestions :') Cheers, Adi

4 more cores on 3950X or 31% improvement on 2080Ti, I'd take the GPU upgrade. Nobody needs 16 cores unless you're some graphics designer

This list is great, if he wanted to reduce price to below 1200 changing to a smaller capacity SSD would help. Or is it better to downgrade to 3200Mhz RAM?

What is the best website there pricing wise? Also SLI support in games is close to zero now and doesn't scale well so I don't think you should go that route for gaming...

This performs much better buut the motherboard doesn;t fit the theme. That's why he chose the PRIME Z390-A. It's white/black theme

Actually yeah, that would help. I just set 3000 as a minimum req. and went with.

Okay here's a list: https://enterkomputer.com/detail/156387/AMD-Ryzen-5-Pinnacle-Ridge-2600-34Ghz-Up-To-39Ghz-Cache-16MB-65W-AM4-Box-6-Core-YD2600BBAFBOX-With-AMD-Wraith-Stealth-Cooler https://enterkomputer.com/detail/162711/MSI-B450M-Pro-VDH-MAX-AM4-AMD-Promontory-B450-DDR4-USB32-SATA3 https://enterkomputer.com/detail/163969/Team-T-Force-Vulcan-Z-DDR4-PC24000-3000Mhz-Dual-Channel-16GB-2x8GB-18-18-18-43-TLZRD416G3000HC16CDC01 https://enterkomputer.com/detail/163474/Inno-3D-Geforce-GTX-1660-SUPER-6GB-DDR6-Twin-X2 https://enterkomputer.com/detail/162329/KLEVV-SSD-NEO-N400-240GB-K240GSSDS3-N40-R500MBs https://enterkomputer.com/detail/161044/Toshiba-1TB-SATA3-7200RPM-P300-Series https://enterkomputer.com/detail/157516/Thermaltake-Versa-H18 Total: 730.53$ More expensive, replace 1660 SUPER with 5600XT (RTX 2060 performance) https://enterkomputer.com/detail/164031/Sapphire-Radeon-RX-5600-XT-6GB-DDR6-Pulse-OC New Total: $802.35

The motherboards look good, but Ryzen processors don't have integrated graphics (unless it has a G at the end of the name, like Ryzen 5 3400G) so the 3950X has no iGPU. You won't get any display output unless you buy a dedicated GPU. And why won't a workstation need a GPU?

Go with 32GB for future proofing. 16GB is fine for now but as games get more graphically intense it's a nice idea to get 32

This is a nice build. Although, i don't think anyone needs to OC lower end Ryzen SKUs as they dont provide much OC headroom and already run at almost peak performance.
