Just because it wasn't happening before does not mean it was stable. You have two additional variables in this situation, one being ram, 2 being a ssd. Either could be faulty or not compatible with your current config. Ram could be the more likely as most people slap them in without forethought about the ram speeds/timings/module models etc. What are the models names/numbers of the ram and ssd that is currently in your system?

if you have an android device like a smart phone or tablet you can dump the installer from that onto the computer via a usb cable. Also you have not stated the result of the ipconifg /release & /renew.... You stated he plugs into a wall jack, who is providing the internet service? Is it his own? Is it at school? work?

Details man DETAILS!!!

What ios revision are you on and are your ios devices managed by an MDM?

Run cmd in admin, then ipconfig /release, then ipconfig /renew. If that doesn't work, try downloading the latest driver for the device from another computer then put it on a thumb drive and dump it on his computer, then install it. Also have any of the basics been checked out? (rebooting router? checking to see if other devices have internet in his home?)

Before jumping into that bsod dump, has anything changed hardware wise to the system? (This includes moving or removing of components from and to the system)

This is a bit of a tough one, try resetting the cmos battery. Disconnect the computer from power and pull the cmos battery out, leave it out for about a 2 minutes. Put the battery back in then connect the power cable. Try to post now...

Do you have another gpu to test functionality? That gpu is extremely power hungry. We can eliminate the power variable by swapping to a smaller card...

So the ryzen 5 3600 REQUIRES a dedicated gpu for output video, could possibly be a dead gpu, have you double checked the power connections for your gpu? also wait YOU HAVE A 3070? next guess... bigger psu, no doubt

Yes... yes you can

What cpu, also first error code is a gpu error, cant find info on the second one...

Here are the steps written out 1.Disconnect your computer from the internet 2. Go to Settings>update & security>activation>change product key 3. Enter the product key from the website 4. Let it do the upgrade 5. Do step 2 again 6. Connect your computer to the internet 7. Enter YOUR product key 8.*smacks car* profit!

i got you https://dreich.net/upgrading-from-windows-10-home-to-pro Follow the steps in this then when it prompts for the new product key put that sucker in and you should be good to go

sounds good to me *thumbs up*

Also it's not a waste of time if someone learns from the experience, please post again if you have other issue k? *flies off into the distance* XD

Remember windows does kernel updates too, anything that may not be within spec or causes instability by the slightest can and will be rejected by windows in the form of a FU. Windows is picky like that

Hmmm, that shouldn't be a limitation for a 980 but hey if it is it's a new one for me XD Do you have your gpu in the first pcie slot?

You also said that the install media works fine, however windows CAN still be corrupt during and before the install process. Windows DOES do verification checks during the install but nothing extensive like sector checks on the install media to verify integrity. There will always be variables in between...

*scratches head* understood, to be blunt though just because it posts perfectly and works perfectly in linux does not mean it's stable. On another note it could be a weak or dying memory controller, could be a weak or dying chipset, my guess is you have already updated the bios to the latest revision on this motherboard?

Push comes to shove, if the monitor is a factor, plug the system into a tv or another non freesync enabled monitor for testing purposes.

Technically yes technically no, all technology degrades overtime, the use of it only speeds this factor up quicker. My experience would tell me that no your monitor is not the issue. If firestrike and other benchmarks are showing near perfect utilization then it sounds like it could be a driver optimization issue. Try doing a clean wipe of those apu and gpu drivers with ddu uninstaller and install some fresh drivers from nvidia and amd. Also keep the overclock off so you have a baseline. The more variables there are the more there is to test. Once the issue is resolved you can put back your overclock and see if it holds. Were looking for a full 100 percent gpu utilization WITHOUT vsync.

What kind of system is this... I'm still extremely confused... REGARDLESS, if this drive only has 7 gb of capacity, just get a new drive. Find something on craigslist or buy a cheep ssd. Hell install lubuntu if you have to. XP is just...no

So i have some possible theories but nothing concrete, my guess is a power limit restriction, that psu was released around 2014, degradation is a factor with psus. The 980 power requirements is a 500 watt psu. You have a 600 watt but only with the base 80 plus cert. that means at minimum it will run at 80 percent of it's rated load when maxed. Imo thermaltake does NOT have the best reputation when it comes to psu's, would bite the bullet and get a new psu but that is my IMO....

*smacks face* you're going to need to install a newer os, as it is xp isn't the friendliest to system changes along with the fact that it is a 19 year old OS. What are the specs for this system anyway?
