Currently I have my recently-built PC standing on my desk, but it takes up a substantial amount of space. Ideally I'd like to move it somewhere else, but ideally I don't want to use an under-desk mount. I'm using the Corsair iCUE 4000X RGB Mid-Tower ATX PC Case. I've looked on Amazon and Etsy but I haven't been finding solutions I particularly like. What solutions have you found? Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi folks, I'm sorry to bump this but I'm still having this issue. Went through all day yesterday without a problem, but today when I turned the PC on it was right back to the original WHEA UNCORRECTABLE ERROR loop. Eventually it does let me into Windows, but I have no idea what the problem is.

Just finished testing this. It was inconsistent, but I ended up getting the same problem with all four sticks.

Hi everyone. I am running a newly-built PC. Specs at the bottom of this post. A link to the dump files can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u7-LDXVKwqhC3uyR-HdhI-J5YC6xoTpW/view?usp=sharing Unfortunately, when I ran the "Resource and Performance Monitor", it refuses to generate a report. It stays stuck on "Collecting data for 60 seconds..." for ten minutes or more with no change. So I can't include that. This problem began when I returned home from a long trip. I built the PC about three weeks before I left, and when I left the house I shut down the PC, turned off the power supply, and disconnected the power cord. I wanted to be sure that there wouldn't be any issues with power surges or the like while I was gone. Since I returned home, the PC has been giving me BSOD errors when I try to power it on. It turns into a cycle that moves through the same phase about 5-6 times. The BSOD comes up (WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR), then the computer automatically restarts. Then my ROG motherboard attempts repairs, then back to BSOD, and repeat. Eventually, the pattern will stop and give me the choice to either shut the PC down, or to try and system restore. When I select system restore, it goes through another couple of cycles, and then eventually takes me to a screen where I have the option to "exit to Windows" and a few other troubleshooting buttons. Once I exit to Windows, the computer appears to be running normally. Yesterday, once I finally got through to Windows, I thought that perhaps a system update might solve the problem. So I went into Windows update and installed all of the updates that I could. Upon the system restart to complete installing the updates, it returned me to the BSOD cycle until I was able to "exit to Windows" once again. Today, I went into my BIOS and ensured that my RAM was running on the correct frequency (which had somehow gotten reset). This doesn't seem to have fixed the problem, though. I'm not sure what else to do. The only cause seems to be the fact that I had the PC unplugged for a few weeks while I was out of town, but I have no idea how that could be messing things up. OS - Windows 10 x64 bit Was a totally new build, so there wasn't pre-installed OS. Retail version of Windows 10. Age of system (hardware) - About a month or two, just built this rig. Age of OS installation - have you re-installed the OS? - I have not re-installed since first building the computer about two months ago now. System Manufacturer - N/A Exact model number - N/A Laptop or Desktop? - Desktop Here are the specs of the build: ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Formula AMD X570 AM4 ATX Motherboard AMD Ryzen 9 3950X 16-Core, 32-Thread Unlocked CPU 1 TB SSD Boot Drive, 2 TB SSD Working Drive, 6TB HDD Storage Drive EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra GPU 64 GB DDR4 3600 Ram Corsair HX1200 1200 Watt 80+ Platinum PSU Corsair iCUE H100i RGB Pro XT AIO Liquid CPU Cooler Fractal Design Define 7 XL Black Brushed Aluminum/Steel E-ATX Tower Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks. UPDATE // I have run sfc /scannow in command prompt as admin and got the following info: "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them." I am attaching the CBS log file in case this might help. CBS.log

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! I don't believe my CPU came with a cooler, but I'll look into that option and possibly wait on the watercooling until later. I haven't taken anything out of the boxes yet, so I still have all of that available to me for safe transport. Appreciate it!

Context - I was finally able (after an 8 month wait) to obtain a 3080 from EVGA's queue. I now have all of the parts that I need to build my new, water-cooled PC. The problem is that there is a strong chance that I will be moving states in the next couple of months. Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but should I just wait until I have made the move to build my PC? I'm mainly worried about dangers posed to the PC by the moving process. This will be my first build, so I'm just kind of nervous about it. Input appreciated. EDIT - Additionally, if you think I should go ahead and build, any advice on prepping the PC for moving would be very appreciated. Thanks so much everyone. (Apologies if this isn't the right forum for this. It seemed like the closest match when I was looking.)

Money isn't exactly no object - if I was to go with the 3960x I would be looking at the MSI Creator MB https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Creator-TRX40-Motherboard-USB3-2/dp/B081FXBWTD as a possibility as well.

Thanks so much for your help!

Do you have any suggestions for better SSD / Power supply for what I'm doing?

Ah that's a shame - I didn't realize that it wouldn't be compatible with a 2nd gen because it's a Ryzen board. Should I look at the Asus ROG Zenith Extreme in that case? https://pcpartpicker.com/product/zkx9TW/asus-rog-zenith-extreme-eatx-tr4-motherboard-rog-zenith-extreme

This is my first build, and I have already acquired all the other components except for the motherboard itself. But it seems like every high-end motherboard I look at has few reviews and, being a first-time builder, it's a little scary. Like I said, this is the final component I need to buy, and this board seems to have everything I need. I should also note that wifi and bluetooth are important features for me.

Thank you so much for digging into this! I'll study this list for sure.

Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely start digging into this.

Thanks so much for your help!

Unfortunately I can't wait too long, as my work is getting too taxing on my current rig and I need to be able to keep up with client requests. Is there a particular component you would recommend waiting for?

Budget (including currency): $3500 USD Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: I am a video editor and audio producer for a living. I need a rig that can easily handle editing 2k video footage at minimum, and that won't start chugging on me when I'm working with a lot of layers. I heavily use Adobe Premiere and Adobe Audition for work. I will also be gaming on this rig, and it would be great to be able to play the latest games at great performance & quality. Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Lots of hard drive space is important, and I'd really like to run a high-capacity SSD as the boot drive. I'm going to be buying soon - within the next week or two ideally. I plan to run three monitors. This will be my first-ever build, so I'm a little nervous. I've been watching LTT for a while now and I feel like this is my best path forward for my work. Thanks in advance!
