Xg12040

Tried with another motherboard, must be the CPU. I sent in a warranty request. Hopefully AMD will help me.

After enough crashes it seemed to reset the bios, but I went ahead and tried resetting the cmos. No difference. Also tried updating the bios. I was worried the computer would crash, but no problems and updated the bios just fine. No difference. I also noticed the computer isnt locking up on the bios screen, I'm just losing mouse/keyboard control.

So I started having the occasional random restart the last couple of days (1 the first day, some last night, a couple today). Then today, after a random restart, windows could not boot up. Error message "kernel missing or contains errors". I decided to try to repair windows with a usb with windows 10 on it, but when I got to the screen and selected the option to repair with the USB the computer crashed/restarted. It also tries to boot up windows even if the drive has no windows installed on it (giving errors about missing files). I ended up trying with only my boot drive, then only with a secondary, but the computer would restart when trying to install Windows. I also tried with only a ssd that was never used in this computer. No luck. I also tried using different PSU and removed my sound card. I also tried underclocking the ram and undervolting the CPU (the board sets its voltage to Max, but voltage does vary when in windows). So I cant install windows and the computer will even lock up when left on the bios screen. So is my motherboard defective? Ive only had the CPU, ram, motherboard, and gpu for a few months. I hope its not the CPU. Ryzen 3700x 32gb g.skill ripjaws 3600mhz Evga 2060 super Msi mpg x570 gaming plus Samsung 970 Evo 1tb + 3 wd HDs Be quiet dark rock pro 4 Seasonic 750px
