New rig having some OS issues?

[k96]

hello,

 

Im having a couple problems with a completly new rig, and its really bugging me. I greatly appreciate any help.

 

1. my network seems to just disconnect for no apparent reason, the ethernet icon gets an X on it just randomly and im disconnected from the internett. I am using a ethernet cable, and the cable itself is working just fine. im even directly connected to the Router rather than a switch. Any input here? this seems to happen randomly after startup, but not after its been a while?

 

2. When i sometimes boot and come to the login screen, my resolution is horrendous and when i log on it tells me to log off, so i do, and it comes back to its normal resolution, any input here?

 

I think the ethernet problem might have happened after i did an update on the ethernet driver, altough the driver i installed was newer than my old one ?

 

 

Thanks for any input in advance.

 

 

EDIT: Bios needs an update i think, maybe thats the problem ?

 

My spec:

asus rog strix b350-f gaming

Asus gtx 1060 3gb dual oc

Amd ryzen 1600

Ballistix 2x4gb 2666mhz

OZC agility 3 120gb boot drive (this one might just be faulty in it self? ive tried testing it, and its showing really bad results on benchmarks)

Sandisk 120gb - something something, i dont know the name

500gb Western HDD something something - just for storage.

Did you do a clean installation of Windows? Since you mention it, what does CrystalDiskInfo show for the health of the drives?

It was all clean, first i installed with all drives onboard, and the OS split between both SSD. Keeping the OS on the OZC and system reserve on sandisk, so i reinstalled by removing both SSD and HDD and only keeping OZC on. Everything was fine. 

 

 

Where do i check health on the crystaldiskinfo program? The OZC own utility however shows the SSD being 100% healthy, + it had a firmware update, so i did that just now. Hence why read/write was better compared to userbenchmark i think ?.

That's not the health, that's CrystalDiskMark. Here's the download link for CDI: HERE (Goes to OSDN)

I'd just do a clean install on the better drive and start fresh.

It shouldn't hurt, so I'd do it anyway.
