  1. Man, I just installed a gigabyte motherboard in my sister's PC for Christmas... I guess I'll look forward to a support call from her Alright, well, thank you for all the help. His final attempt for the night will be letting it sit and try to boot while he goes to bed to see if any of these troubleshooting steps allows it to fix itself overnight. Tomorrow morning, I'll either update the thread with any additional info, or mark a solution if it's fixed. Thanks again
  2. Ok I'll let him know. And no, he didn't touch anything except for the boot order after resetting the cmos. As a side note, this is reminding me of some horror stories I've heard about gigabyte boards having dual bios setups that cause headaches galore. Where you can't select which bios you want to load from or reset the settings to default for, so people would end up loading the wrong bios and not being able to reset it, but I thought that was either made up entirely or was an old issue that had been fixed already. I'd lend him another brand of LGA1700 board to test with if I owned one. We did update his bios to the most recent version when we got it, and that version is still the most recent so that's ruled out
  3. Any particular settings we should be looking for? he sent me these two pictures of the bios tweaker screen for reference
  4. I had him test it just to see, and yeah, it still freezes even if the USB is the only thing able to be booted from in the system.
  5. All temps listed in the bios are <35 degrees. I don't believe gigabyte has any automatically enabled boost behavior or XMP, and fast boot is disabled by default. The full parts list is here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6mLKtn
  6. Yeah he seems to be mostly restarting it after only waiting for a minute, but he said he waited for it for half an hour at one point and it didn't change
  7. His system HAD two SSDs in it. One with his install (C: drive) and one with all of his games on it (D: drive) so since the issue started after trying to play valorant, he removed the D: drive which has the game installed on it. Even with only the C: drive and the USB, it still freezes, even after telling the bios to boot into the USB. I can ask him to remove his C: drive and see if that changes anything if you think that would help
  8. I got a DM from my friend earlier who said his computer threw a Vanguard Error 57 while trying to launch Valorant earlier. The only option it gave him was to restart his computer. When he did, his PC began to display a symptom where every time he attempted to boot, it would get stuck at the startup screen where the dots would stop spinning and all that it says is the gigabyte logo with the words 'preparing automatic repair.' After about a dozen restarts, I told him to try pressing F8 while booting to access the boot menu, so he tried that but then the computer booted just fine instead of opening the boot menu. Thinking all is well, he thanked me and attempted to play valorant again, only for it to give him the same error message, and now it's broken in the same way as before but 10x worse. He's removed his storage drive from his system, reset the CMOS, and even tried using a windows boot media USB to at least boot into something useful, but even then it just gets stuck on 'preparing automatic repair' even after setting the USB as the boot device in the bios. We have no idea what's going on and it's majorly stressing the both of us out because this computer was fairly expensive and neither of us have any idea what's wrong with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
  9. I'll add it to the list of things to try. Verifying file integrity in theory shouldn't break anything more than it's already broken so it's worth a shot I guess.
  10. I started doing the quest 'transmission' in cyberpunk 2077 just now. Maman Brigitte teleported me to a chapel where I can't leave without finishing the quest, but when I try to follow her out of the subway car downstairs, there is an invisible wall blocking me. There are invisible walls all over the room down here, and there are loads of solid objects I can walk straight through, which makes me think that the collision and visual meshes for the entire room have been misaligned for some reason. I have already reloaded my game, quit to desktop, came back, the walls are still there. I am indeed able to reload a save from before I entered the chapel, but the reason I say I'm softlocked is because I'm going to have to do this quest eventually, so even if I leave and come back to do this quest later, if I can't complete this quest then I can't complete the game because it is a main story mission. I'm thinking I either reload a previous save and buy a cyberware that allows me to double jump or float or something and come back later to try and traverse the invisible walls, or I find a way to manipulate the game to allow me to progress the quest regardless. I don't know where to even start with that option though. Any info would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
  11. I'm looking to use the task scheduler or some similar program to automatically run a program if certain parameters are met, but I'm unsure as to whether or not this is possible. The task would be as follows: Starting at 7pm and recurring every half an hour until midnight Check to see if any programs from a list are currently running If any of the programs from the list are running, do nothing and wait for the next half hour increment before checking again If at any point this check is ran and none of the programs from the list are running, launch a specific program If the task successfully launches the program at any point during the five hour runtime, do not attempt to launch the program again until the next time the scheduled task starts (the following day at 7pm) Only start the task if the computer is in its ON power state Right now, I've used the task scheduler to make a task that can successfully launch the program I need, but it doesn't check to see if none of the other programs are running first, and it also relaunches a new instance of the program every half an hour instead of stopping after it successfully launches it. Is there any way to get task scheduler to do what I'd like it to, or do I have to download another program to do something like this? Any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
  12. mdsched.exe is the built in windows memory testing utility, it's normally a good idea to use it before resorting to memtes86 because it's built into the OS so no flash drives, and it can give a general pass on memory health while not being as long or in depth of a process as memtest86
  13. Both drives report above 95% on crystaldiskinfo with no errors or high temps
  14. I asked and he said he swapped what slots the drives were in the day after it started and it didn't help
