    Justasking reacted to homeap5 in Windows installation doesn't work   
    You can install win10 on p35. You can boot win10 if is installed in legacy mode on p35. If you see only that seen and if Windows installation retreats, that mean something is wrong with mobo, CPU or ram.
     
    No, win10 do NOT need special bios to work. Guys, stop answering unverified informations.
     
    I have perfectly working win10 that I can boot on p35 Asus or even ancient Intel board. If you see Windows booting and then it restarts without any info, then something is wrong, but not with system. You can believe me, who actually moved dozens of Windows installations between any kind of computers - even from modern i5 UEFI to old legacy core2duo crap.
     
    And I had some experience with that behavior you describe. My friend bought "good cpu" for few $ (really low price) with description that it boots to bios and that is all seller tests, he have no possibility to test it more (or no time, whatever) so there is no guarantee that it will work (like "buy at your own risk"). And, guess what, it was really interesting case - processor indeed runs in BIOS perfectly. It was 6th gen i5 and everything was ok in BIOS, you can setup everything, check temperatures, setup everything. Except system - Windows restart itself before enter desktop, windows installation media stops working after few seconds and linux stops working before enter desktop like win10 (bootable usb). So, for some reason, that was broken CPU that works unless you're trying to boot anything. But BIOS works perfect and every media (usb, hdd, ssd) starts loading any system or installer (only starts, never go further). Of course check on two different motherboards with or without additional GPU. So there is a big chance that your old, ancient PC, is just crap. Old Gigabyte motherboards was really bad (at least from my experience).

    Justasking reacted to RayLeech in Has anyone seen this ramdisk?   
    Looks like one of the HyperDrives from HyperOS
     
    Had one of these in the very old days. Painfully slow by today's standards, but excellent performance back then.
     
    Today, you'd be better off using a software RamDisk (e.g., SoftPerfect), but there aren't many cases where its needed with fast NVME drives.

    You might wanna overclock that cpu a little, but your config is rock solid other than that, if you need any help feel free to ask me

    There should be jumpers on the drives. Set one drive as master and other as slave .

    Can I suggest trying to write the iso to an USB instead. Use Rufus for this. Often when manually trying to create bootable drives issues arise (I even had issues when using different programs than rufus for linux distros, so I'd say give this a shot).

    Its having issues Initilizing the install, It could be that the HDD or SSD that your trying to install to is potentially dead.

    1st gen Ryzen dont reach 4.1GHz under safe voltages. TR does but 4.1 is about the limit as well.

    Justasking reacted to jiyeon in Air cooler for i5-8600k   
    I can't say for sure because I use static pressure case fans in tandem with the cooler, as well as that I use headphones. If I had to take a guess, I'd say it's only noticeably loud if you're within 10cm of the cooler.

    Justasking reacted to Fasauceome in Should I overclock my Ram? What would the effects be?   
    "Goodram" isn't exactly a big name brand, so I wouldn't expect it to be able to run above its rated speed of 2133. Good job getting the timing down though, that impacts latency quite a bit.

    Justasking reacted to NelizMastr in My I5-6402P isn't turboing to 3.4 Ghz   
    3.4 isn't the all core turbo on that CPU. It's for 1 core only. Whenever more than 1 core is needed, clock speed drops.
