Alright I'm just about ready to chuck this thing into the sun... after replacing the corsair ''flashy'' ram with a pair of less ''flashy'' and slower 3200 mhz kit, I was able to get this thing rock solid in windows 10 with timing at 3000 mhz... I was able to get all updates done, ran both prime 95 and fur mark to run for 2 hours with ZERO blue screens. Then, when came time to upgrade to Windows 11, I realized you can no longer do that from Windows 10 easily. I figured okay, no biggie, I'll just install windows 11 and BAM, every single bluescreen returned. Even lowering the speed to 2133 mhz makes no difference. Anything I attempt at doing under windows 11 almost immediately results in a bluescreen... what could possibly be THIS different between the 2 OSes that could cause them to behave so differently?

Okay, well... After a weekend of troubleshooting it turns out this motherboard with the CPU refuse to run memory speeds at anything higher then stock 2133mhz.. Furthermore, I cannot get all cores to work well when performing a Prime95 test. 2 cores will stop immediately after the test begins. From searches I performed online, it seems to be related to a too low voltage on the CPU... Can anyone help me figure out how I can get either of those issues addressed? I successfully updated the BIOS to the latest version, 4401. thanks!

greetings everyone! I have been dealing with a rather problematic computer that BSODs at any point I try to write something heavy to it's ssd. (in this case just trying to perform windows updates). Every time it BSODs I seam to be getting a completely different reason, so far it's given me: IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL Page fault in nonpaged area cache manager PFN_LIST_CORRUPT system thread exception not handled The system has been freshly reinstall with Windows 10 22H2. I tried 2 different drives that work flawlessly in other systems. A Crucial P2 M2. 2280 500GB and an older Kingston 120GB SSDnow300. The specs are: Motherboard - Asus TUF B450M-Plus Gaming CPU - Ryzen 5 3600x (stock config - not overclocked) RAM - Corsair Vengeance @ 3600 mhz GPU - EVGA RTX 3050 does anyone have a clue as to what could be causing all these issues or what I could try out to at least pinpoint it?

Alright! sorry about the long delays in updates. A few key elements I forgot. Every laptop used at my work is provided by Lenovo, when I started a little over a year ago, I was provided with a T490 paired with a single stick of 8 GB running at 2400 and an i5-8265U. (base clock 1.6 - turbos too 3.9 although I never saw mine crack over 3.7) What I've noticed is basically every laptop here seems to be configured with a ''low power'' variant of an i5. And the ''killer app'' that everyone seems to agree sucks up all the power is TEAMS, especially with in camera calls. What originally drew me to these laptops overheating is the fact that I noticed early on that my laptop's fans would ramp up fast and my CPU would never go above 2ghz while a teams meeting was on, causing all sorts of stutter and slowness.. I took it upon myself to open the laptop, replace the thermal compound and realized the GPU didnt have any. The issues on my side mostly went away afterwards. The new laptop being shipped comes with an i5-10210U which is basically the same as the 8th gen. 4 cores 8 threads. The ram is doubled at 16 GB but a single, soldered dim @ 2666. During a teams meeting where my colleague was complaining his laptop was behaving slowly, I had him share his screen and to my astonishment.. his CPU was averaging 6 too 800 mhz and other then being supremely overheating I cannot understand why it would run so slowly. Lastly, I've tried both Hwinfo and IIRC but in both cases was prompted with admin credentials.. Thanks for the feedback everyone!

Greetings everyone! IDK if this should go here but here goes.. Lately, my company has started purchasing laptops to replace the ones that are slowly migrating out of warranty (3 years) and people have been complaining that the performances are worst with the newer laptops, regardless of the model the user had previously. Right now everyone applying for a new laptop is getting paired with a Lenovo T14 and from what I've read online they have terrible thermals... Things are usually ''ok'' but with everyone working from home, the most complained about app performing slowly is Microsoft Teams. I've been trying to get the hardware people to realize that the issue is with the thermals forcing the CPU's to run like hot potatoes but I cannot prove my theory... This is what I need: A ''standalone'' software or website that allows me to monitor CPU temperature in real time. Now I know, I know ''why don't you just use Core Temp or something of the like? problem is, ANY software added has to go through a rigorous certification period and I need an answer asap.. Does anyone know of any way to monitor CPU temperature without requiring an installed software? thanks in advance everybody!

Well color me impressed! The whole process is done, received the brand new CPU yesterday and everything works. I managed to squeeze a teeny tiny overclock on the CPU to 3.85 and managed to move the ram from from 2133 to 2400. This is the part that hurts the most because I remember having him pay more for faster ram (3200) VS more ram at a lower clock knowing that Ryzen, especially the ones with onboard Vega, get a pretty good boost in performance; however, the ram I got (Corsair Vengeance) were never optimized for Ryzen and anything above 2400 bluescreens before posting. I was going to propose he gets a better, faster kit, optimized this time. Can anyone advise if this kit will actually clock to what it says: https://www.amazon.ca/Patriot-Viper-4000MHz-Performance-Memory/dp/B07KXNGWRF/ref=sr_1_25?dchild=1&keywords=ryzen+ram&qid=1612455459&sr=8-25 thanks everyone!

welp, thanks everyone! I had a hunch but in literally all my life I've never actually held a dead cpu in my hands... as far as I knew this was almost like a tech myth That being said I have opened an RMA with AMD. I'll let y'all know!

So let me start by saying this. I've been building/repairing computers for over 20 years. I have never experienced an issue like this before. This computer belongs to my brother in law who purchased it through me in early 2018. Let's start with the specs: Ryzen 3 2200G with Vega 8 Graphics 2x4 GB DDR4 G.Skill RipJaw 3200MHZ Asus Tuf B450-PLUS GAMING 240 GB Kingston SSD. EVGA 500BR PSU. So as you can see, he's had this system for almost 2 years. Around xmas time (between xmas and newyears) he contacts me complaining that his computer turns off every 5 minutes, tops. I have him send me pictures of his CPU fan and, sure enough, the thing is cluttered with cat hair and dust. I have him clean his CPU fan and every other fans. Computer works flawlessly for a few days and then all hell broke loose. So here is the symptoms. 1. no post, no beeps, no flash, nadda. Fans will spin but nobody's home (this happens maybe 10% of the time.) 2. I get the Asus Tuff splash screen, the little windows circle will start spinning and will stop. Complete freeze, system must be rebooted. 3. I get into windows... complete freeze within 30 seconds. Nothing responds, has to be rebooted. I tried changing to a different power supply. Tried moving his ram around. Tried a generic stick of Kingston 8 GIG DDR4@2666. (pulled from a working system) Tried installing an RX580 4GB (pulled from a working system) Tried reinstalling Windows on a different drive SSD. Every single time the same behavior. Now again, his system worked FLAWLESSLY for over a year.. I eventually opened a case with ASUS as I believed the motherboard became defective. With an ASUS tech, we successfully upgraded the BIOS to the latest version, same behavior. They agreed the issue was motherboard related. I completed the RMA and received the board, replaced, today and to my surprise... exact same behavior. The board also had the latest official BIOS release V2409 release in December 2020 as the board I ended up sending. So I went... screw it, even though I've NEVER experienced a dead CPU before... I tried my wife's CPU which is a Ryzen 7 2700,paired with the same RX580 as before and it just works.. Is there ANYTHING I might have missed? My next step would be to open an RMA with AMD as I am flabbergasted by everything I've experienced thus far with this system. Thanks everyone!

Good lord I hope so. The fans are so frickin louder then the 570 ever was. I can add a 90mm fan next to the cpu. I'll have to close it all down and check one more time. All that being said, the card still refuses to display anything till I'm into windows which could end up bitting me in the ass later.. I'll update once everything's been closed off.

Well I cleaned it and swapped the paste before I did all that. That being said, this is it's available real estate. Otherwise it's the MSI Armor one with 4 GB.

Well so far so good on 20.4.2. However; can anyone tell me if these thermals make sence? Keeping in mind the casing is presently open and there is almost no room for the GPU to breath. I was gettin a solid 15 degrees cooler with the 570. Also it's very loud.

Okay, I am once again back with the 580, about to reinstall drivers. Once again the card refuses to peovide me with any video output until well after I reach Windows. Tried with Adrenaline 20.5.1 (released on june 10th) and am now attempting 20.4.2 from may 26th.

Yep, both 570 and 580 work in my i7 system and were properly stressed out for well over an hour with zero issues or artifacts. The only thing I can think of is go on the igpu, remove and reinstall with an older driver..

Greetings, this is sort of a new thing for me, posting issues on forums as I am usually able to resolve 99 of my issues googling it; however, this one has me stumped. I recently did the unthinkable and purchased an Acer desktop (model: TC-885-E17 for an insanely small amount of money from someone on the FB market( i5 9400, 12gb ram. I already owned an Asus RX 570 STRIX with a raidmax bronze PSU which worked flawlessly in both my current rig, i7 3770 and this new one. I decided to grab a cheapy 580 that most probably was used for mining. in order to sell my old computer as is. However, the newer 580 refuses to work in the Acer system. I disabled all possible bios security function wich allowed me to boot into windows. I had no display until well into windows, the screen flickered, turned on but was 100% static for 2 seconds before displaying properly. I went to install the latest drivers and during the normal expected flicker you get when doing so, the screen never returned. I waited a solid 5 minutes, rebooted the system and.... it goes into windows (Because I can hear the jingle) but no display... Any ideas anyone?
