If anyone stumbles upon this, I think there was a problem with my 3600 and the X570s motherboard. I returned the motherboard and stuck with my old one which was also an X570 just not as nice. I upgraded the CPU to a 5800x with the money from the MOBO RMA.

Update: Bought a 5800X and it doesn’t work either. I think there’s something wrong with the power delivery to the CPU because neither of them is getting warm when booting. I tried a different cpu power cable and reseated the ATX power cable. At this point I’m thinking there’s something wrong with the motherboard.

Well I can’t find any visibly damaged pins, but after reseating it did boot and after restarting I got a RAM POST code, but I think it is some damage to the CPU. I’ve been wanting to upgrade anyway so I’ll try a new CPU.

Thanks for the response. This makes a ton of sense. The problems started when I upgraded my cooler from a hyper 212 to a NH-U12S. The CPU came out of the socket with the Hyper 212 and probably damaged the pins then. I almost never restart the computer so I didn’t notice until I tried to overclock and had to restart to BIOS several times.

TL;DR: Ryzen 5 3600 won’t POST after restart from Windows 10. Just upgraded to X570s Aero G and 3070 Ti. Backstory: I had an ASUS X570-p and used the BIOS to overclock my 3600 to 4.2 Ghz. After overclocking the system would fail to POST after a restart from Windows 10, but hitting the power switch on the PSU would let me boot again. I just avoided restarting and completely shut down instead. Never had any problems with shutting down. I got selected in the Newegg Shuffle last week and bought a bundled Gigabyte 3070 Ti Eagle and the Gigabyte X570s Aero G. I installed both last night. Things worked fine after installing some initial updates, but when my computer tried to restart for a Windows update, it failed to POST and the CPU post light was solid. I hit the PSU switch, waited a few seconds, and turned it back on. The CPU POST code remained though. I tried unplugging all the usb and displays. I tried removing the RAM and only using 1 stick. I cleared the CMOS. I reseated the CPU. I put the CPU into my old MOBO with my old 2060 and it still didn’t post. After blowing what looked like dust out of the pins and putting it back into the new system it finally POSTed like nothing was wrong. I made the mistake of rebooting again to turn on XMP and I once again have the CPU POST code. I don’t know what fixed it before, but I’m afraid that the CPU is damaged in some really specific way that affects restarting only. Please help… System: CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 GPU: 3070 Ti RAM: 4 x 8 GB Patriot 3000 Mhz MOBO: Gigabyte X570s Aero g

I recently overclocked my desktop in BIOS. It boots fine, plays games, renders video, and other tasks just fine. When I try to restart the computer it fails to POST after the restart and I have to flick the power switch on the PSU. It boots like normal if I completely shut down.

I think the idea of getting a laptop is good. You could probably do better than the Aspire if your original budget was for a desktop. Definitely get more RAM, I don't know how anyone operates well on less than 16 GB, but 12 GB (4 + 8 GB) is a decent compromise. You might as well just take out the 128 GB NVME and get a 1 TB NVME and reinstall windows. RAM prices are down from where they were so an extra $140 can get you the 1 TB NVME storage and another 8 GB of RAM.

I got a i5 4690 from an old Dell workstation. Of course the MOBO in that system is very custom built. I'd like to get a MOBO so I can run my old 750ti and have it as a system to mostly play league on at my wife's place. What's the cheapest MOBO I can get used without having to update bios? Thanks in advance!

We're using MassHunter which is for Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry. I can't find anything about how well multi-threaded it is. There's one obscure Agilent mention of getting higher core clocks rather than more cores. The program doesn't seem to be very RAM intensive; the current system only had 8 GB and it doesn't use above 70% although I haven't run any of the more data intense experiments yet. I figured it wasn't a great deal, @star_pilot475, although if the PDF I found can be trusted I might swap out the CPU there for something with higher base clocks. Thanks for putting that together!

It's an HP Z240. I figured there wouldn't be much in the way of upgrades. I'm not very familiar with workstations. This is what I thought would be best for our use case from Dell (we have a contract there) do the prices seem reasonable? Intel® Xeon® Processor E-2186G (Six Core 3.8Ghz, 4.7GHz Turbo, 12MB w/ UHD Graphics 630) 16 GB ECC RAM (not sure on speed) 256GB M.2 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive NVIDIA® Quadro® P400, 2GB, 3Mdp (Precision 3630) Total: $1907.75

We got a "new" workstation with one of the new instruments in my lab, but it has a Xeon E3 1225 which just chugs through some of the data processing. We could just order a new computer, but I was wondering if I could just order a new CPU to swap in. I used wmic baseboard get product,Manufacture,version,serialnumber and found that it's an HP MOBO 802E SN: PESRK0WCYAS1ZD. I couldn't find any info about the chipset though.

Ohhhhh sorry didn’t realize you were in the UK. Idk if there’s anything as thin and light with the same performance out there. I’d look for anything from a reputable brand. MSI, Acer, ASUS, Dell even to name a few. Obviously LTT does laptop reviews and I’ve also enjoyed Dave2D’s reviews. I think he tends to do more laptop reviews.

I found a "fix" but it didn't work. I changed the boot order, set SATA to AHCI, and even tried unplugging every other drive.

Try re-seating the RAM. They can be finicky sometimes. I've had similar problems that were solved by just taking it out and putting it back in.

You might be able to get more performance if you give up the ultralight form factor but this should run all the games you listed at max. You'll probably have to drop the quality a bit to use the full 144hz of the display. You might also want to wait for the laptops with 1660 Ti's to drop if they haven't already. https://www.amazon.com/Zephyrus-GM501GM-WS74-IPS-Type-i7-8750H-FireCuda/dp/B07CWY6Y2X/ref=sr_1_8?crid=39VRMH0LWGB12&keywords=asus+zephyrus&qid=1556908453&s=gateway&sprefix=asus+ze%2Caps%2C590&sr=8-8 EDIT: Check out the RTX laptop buying guide too. The RTX 2060 is in your price range and is probably the most cost efficient.
