Resolved - performed a clean install and used a different virtualisation method, also needed to enable virtualisation in bios as it happened not to be on for some reason!

i have got past this but now have VBox.logthis crash

I have now got past this, but i have boot loop issues. Stays in a shell and reboots vbox

Hi all, Just set up a Mac VM following the steps from a website. https://spike-app.com/install-spike-using-xcode/ I am installing an app I use to read my blood sugar levels as a type one diabetic. Unfortunately, there aren't any official medical options available to us as an alternative right now, so I require to create a Mac VM following the steps on the link shown above. I have virtual box and everything else installed. The VB appears to begin booting and hangs here If anyone knows what i can do to solve this, would appreciate it. EDIT: Should have listed my specs! RTX 2070 Ryzen 5 2600 Aorus B450 Pro motherboard 32GB DDR4 @3000mhz Virtualisation is enabled in BIOS. Apologies if its obvious, but i havent ever setup or even used a VM before

its pretty entry level, sorry if ive revived a dead thread here, its a gigabyte aorus pro B450m

Okay, this is good to hear. By two years i should have more than enough to at least upgrade the processor. its what makes me happy that i went AMD. All the way up to R9 they use AM4. My board im pretty sure has R9 support so in the next 2 years i could possibly buy an r9, maybe an extra amount of ram and upgrade that GPU when needed. Thanks for the help everyone

In which case question answered. I use it to listen to music, play a couple of pc exclusives, I do a small amount of beginners programming and using the web, so i suppose overall it was a better idea.

Not at all. What I am saying is would it have been a better overall choice to wait for console and buy that instead? I'm 14, that extra 250 or more pounds is a LOT of money to me.

I am more than satisfied with my results, this machine is a beast. But ive owned it just under a year, will it seriously after that short period be no more than "average" so to speak? Nice pun BTW

I have built a rig with an RTX 2070 Ryzen 5 2600x 1 Boot SSD and some Hard drives for the less demanding games 16 GB DDR4 3200Mhz RAM. After hearing the new Xbox and PC Specs, I feel like I have spent a butt ton of money after saving for so long (as i'm 14, so small jobs and chores paid for this machine) for the same sort of gaming performance I would get on the new console, and whilst the argument for upgradability for PC does come into play, I won't have that kind of value to buy say a new gen Graphics card along with a faster CPU etc. So I'm curious to know whether or not i have just spent a lot of money for a PC where i could have gotten the same performance on the xbox, and whilst I know that personally PC has my favourite exclusives, along with the ability to do things such as web browsing, programming and video editing, would it have just been better to buy a console?

Read the post again. "I have built"

Using AMD for Processors for ages. A couple of their GPUs can be a little unreliable but that normally happens during the warranty period and you can get it sorted. For processors there is no issues as of now for me.

It will only make a difference if it is using all of that RAM. Does the RAM usage ever get that high? If yes you can upgrade but you probably wont see that much of a difference in terms of performance if it isnt maxing out the RAM.

This is good to hear. Yes I know in the future 144hz will be a miss, eventually games will fall below that barrier, which is why im glad i have a gsync monitor. As long as i get 60fps I know thats a solid performance and ill always take it. Thanks!

Hi guys. I have built a system, with 16GB DDR4 Patriot Viper 3200mhz ram, a Ryzen 5 2600x at 3.8Ghz and a Gigabyte Windforce RTX 2070 alongside a Gigabyte Aorus Pro B450M board. I have a few questions as this is my first ever build, so I need to know what im looking at in the future. Right now im running at 1080p but 144hz, im not entirely worried about resolution when I play, more just the refresh rate as of now, i did not have too much to spend on a monitor. Will this PC be able continue to do that for at least 3 years at medium settings in the newer and more demanding games that are going to come out for those few years? Right now i can run them at ultra/high comfortably, but could this still be the case in the future?

Try going into your bios and seeing what the Fan curve looks like. Did you build this rig yourself or was it a prebuilt? If you didn't build it someone may have set the fan curve so it does this to stop noise.

Any overclocks or anything on? Run some games and tell me how high the usage gets aswell please.

Brand and model of gpu? Is this actually causing you any problems while using the card? Based on the error try these steps 1)Update your graphics card drivers from either NVIDIA or AMDs web site 2) Make sure your system is updated with the latest Windows updates 3) Check to make sure your system power supply meets the minimum recommended power requirement for your card

The fans turning off below 50c won't harm your GPU, I sadly don't have the time to help you with that, I wouldn't worry. What brand is your cooler? Are you sure that the CPU Fan is definitely not spinning? You can usually change the fan settings in your boards BIOS.

5GHz is higher frequency, as I presume you will know, so it bounces more off of walls and things, How far away from your router are you? If you are far away this will explain it. If you are nearby then I am not very sure why it is like this.

Not entirely my area of expertise, but I will try to help. Can you do it and try and see where the sound is coming from inside the case? Is it coming from the Hard Drive? Wouldn't hurt to do an SFC scan.

Did you do something like interrupt boot or something like that? Was there a crash during an update or something? EDIT: Scratch that, I've seen that you have reinstalled windows already. You have reseated all hardware except the CPU. Maybe when you get TP on hand try reseating it. Try maybe running the pc without the GPU and on Stock settings, I think I have sometimes heard that when a GPU acts up it can cause crashes.

Try looking up that error and see for a fix, ive never seen it before, maybe someone else knows?

Can you get it to BSOD a couple of times and tell me what crashed. They will either be different or the same and this will help me out a bit.
