I tried it on another PC, yes.

So about 5 days ago I was using my computer, all my monitors working fine. All of a sudden, my HP Omen 27 starts flickering, then the screen goes black. It still has power and the USBs on it still work, just no display, and isn't recognized by Windows either. Is this just a dead monitor? Is the output on the monitor dead? I've been trying to contact HP for the past 2 days and the holds are just infinitely long, and they didn't respond to my ticket.

This is what I did.

So there was a folder of stuff I had forgotten to backup before reformatting my PC. I'm sure its possible to recover these files, but how much of a hassle is it to do it? Does anyone know how?

Since my last post, I have changed my CPU with another that I had before upgrading another computer in the house. I inserted a 4790k (not OC'd), but my idle temps are still in the high 30s. Its never been lower than mid 30s even when it was first built (maybe the AIO I got just wasn't good?). The other computer in has an EVO 212 and has mid 20s as idle temps. Anyhow, inserted new CPU, changed thermal paste, and still same slow boots and slow loads. I've done a userbenchmark since, and everything seemed fine for scores (~45th percentile without OC). I've also closed about all programs and was at 5% backgorund cpu when doing the benchmark.

Would this affect idle temps? I have high 30s to low 40s for idle temps.

Yes, and that's what I used for it. The startup apps turned on or off actually had no impact on my boot times when I timed boots with them on and off, awkwardly enough...

Bump and additional info. This benchmark is from my friend's system. ASUS Prime z370-A | 16gb RAM | MSI 980TI | i7-8700k | 850 Watt Gold PSU | Win10 64 bit | Samsung 840 and 850 EVO Still looking for any possible solutions.

I had my brother do the test as well for his 850 EVO. Results. This confuses be because when we play games that show other people's loads, he loads much faster than a friend who has the game on an HDD, and that friend loads faster than me, when my games are on the 850 EVO I screenshotted above.

This first test, I had a bunch of stuff running (Discord, Spotify, Logitech Gaming Framework, some bittorrent clients, and several tabs). For this test, I ran it with everything closed save for the few tabs. So, the cables I used with them are very old and I don't know of any way to confirm that they are SATA III because my order history is gone, however I'm pretty sure they are.

Pressed on Error Scan and ran it as well for one drive. Stopped it in the middle.

Not entirely sure if this is what you were looking for.

Didn't see this subforum before, so I'm going to post my other thread again here hoping for some help. Cinebench below. TL;DR - Windows (Samsung 830 Series) and games (850 EVO) load slower than what it should be on an SSD. My games load slower than my friend who has his games on an HDD. Windows takes about 2 minutes from pushing the power button to reaching the desktop. Benchmarked the drives with Samsung Magician and results showed the listed specs. Trying to figure out if there is some hardware that is causing this. Bad CPU? Damaged MOBO? I don't know.

I pulled all external storage devices out. It didn't seem to have an affect on game load screen times. I also enabled MSI Fast Boot in my BIOS, still slow boot times.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for.
