Hello everyone,I told myself to refrain from asking a forum for help, mostly because I feel like I'm being kind of an annoyance and this is probably a very easy fix which I shamefully can't find.I'll give some back story to how I came here:Finally got around to building my own desktop PC, with the following specs:Asrock B450M ProAMD Ryzen 5 1600Asus RX570 OCSeaGate Baracuda 1 TBTeam L5 Lite 3D 240GBCorsair Vengeance 8 gb ddr4 3000mhzCorsair CX450MInter-Tech B42 (shitty case, I know).I was so happy when I finally got around to building the PC... Even happier that it posted the first time!!I felt like a king, I had build my first PC all by myself and it was working amazing.This went on for a week, the PC didn't malfunction in any way whatsoever. There were no signs of bad components or anything.Until...Yesterday morning, I started up my PC, nothing out of the ordinary..Suddenly my internet went out, which was weird because all other systems connected to the same router still had internet. Whilst this was confusing me I noticed that I could not move my mouse! My system froze up on me. for no apparent reason whatsoever.I thought, this might be some kind of hiccup, I'll let the pc work it out and I'll be patient.After 5 minutes, it was still as frozen.. I decided to forcefully shutdown the PC by holding the power button. After this... my PC never was the same again.I tried to reboot the systeem but the system didn't seem to post, I atleast wasn't getting any videosignal whatsoever...This confused me a lot.. my system was working fine for a whole week? what could have gone wrong?What I tried to fix my computer so far:- Boot without GPU connecting the monitor to my motherboardresult:nothing... apparently my CPU doesn't have internal graphics.. ?
- Remove CMOS Battery to reset BIOSresult:The system seems to somewhat work for a minute after this, sadly.. after that minute the system crashes once again and doesn't post unless I reset the BIOS again...- Put the single RAM stick that I have in the second slot because apparently Ryzen likes that better.result:Doesn't really change a whole lot.
- Use VFX to select the higher Ghz preset for my RAMResult:System is even more unstable and blue screens.- Remove all other peripherals except for keyboardResult:nothing noticeable.
After all these attempts, I noticed my BIOS was very outdated! Aha! This might be the solution to my problem!
Sadly enough, this didn't fix all of my problems.
I now can consistently get into Windows but only for a limited amount of time. It doesn't take long (10 minutes max) before programs start becoming unresponsive. After that the PC freezes and doesn't do anything anymore..
I tried to restore WIndows back to a restore point where there were no errors whatsoever. This didn't seem to change anything.
I also looked into the health of my drives but CrystalDiskInfo states that both drives their health is "Good".
Now I'm out of options...I'm really not sure what to do.. does anyone have any suggestions? ?
