I assume that would be for you and intel to sort out. what options have they given you?

Perhaps take a photo of the BSOD or write down what error code its giving you, that might allow others to give you a better idea of what the cause is. However in the meantime can you not just set your computer not to sleep? assuming you are using a windows computer just edit your power plan settings to never put the computer to sleep.

Maybe you should watch:

Also keep in mind that the board may require a Bios update for the 3400g (unless its advertised as ryzen 3000 series ready) which will require a 1st or 2nd gen ryzen to do. Do you happen to have a spare GPU around home? if so i would agree with others who have suggested the 2600 over the 3400g, however if this isn't an option then the 3400g will suffice and can always be upgraded later.

Although it's the same socket, the fact that it's a "random HP board" as you say, doesn't necessarily mean it's supported with the board, especially if it's from a random pre-built. You can certainly use the r9 270, it's just it will draw more power even if idling. More power means higher running costs.. And of course heat, but if it's a machine you only intend on turning on when you or your friends are online then that won't really matter. Also you mention there is no internet in your room, does this mean you intend on using a Wi-Fi card in the server or placing the server near wired access? I would certainly suggest the latter.

Hi there, you mention a random hp board, I assume you've checked it's compatible with the cpu? Does the board happen to have any form of onboard graphics? If so you can ditch your GPU. On the topic of GPU that is insane overkill. A server really only needs basic video output for setup and maintenance, the game server itself will not benefit from a beefy GPU and you will just end up chewing power unnecessarily. perhaps look for a used gt710 or gt730? I know they are pretty cheap here atleast. As for the cpu choice it should be perfectly fine, ram amount looks fine unless you are going heavy on the mods. I'd probably switch that HDD when possible for something more modern/faster/reliable. Weird PSU raises concerns, worth investing in something reputable If you plan on leaving the server running.

All I can say is I love my DS918+ and how user friendly and fully featured it is. And having the option of adding the expansion unit for more drive bays is always a plus.

I only recently flashed my first bios using a cpu-less process and it really isn't that scary, and now in the last month I've used it for 4 different builds. follow the process listed online or through their video and you shouldn't have any dramas. When I flashed my gaming carbon I did have to flash it a few times for it to actually work, even though it appeared to be flashing the bios as expected.

Are you are using a GPU with the 3600? As it lacks an onboard gpu unlike the 200ge
