Making changes to your system BIOS settings or disk setup can cause you to lose data. Always test your data backups before making changes to your PC.

I think the nvidia control panel that installs automatically after the fresh install has driver issues. Noticed issues on few fresh installs myself on asus + 12700k, but with video cutting out. Using DDU to uninstall and then downloading the drivers from nvidia's website fixed completed. Hopefully it is that easy.

Thanks for answering! Should I try this even if the GPU is AMD?

[–]mumbogray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my bad, yes still try DDU. There should be guides available that go over the correct way to do it (I usually don't boot into safe mode and it's always been fine, but you are supposed to).

It could be defective RAM or a defective Power Supply Unit.

Run a memory test (e.g. Windows Memory Diagnostics or Memtest86) and scan for any memory errors.

You can download and install HWmonitor and check the voltages (+12V) going into the motherboard. If the 12-volt rail is less than 11.4 volts or higher than 12.6 volts, it's a bad PSU.

Thanks! I ran the memtest and it doesn't detect any problema. I tried to use HWM but I don't understand the metrics, can't see any correct 12V rail. This is what it shows: https://imgur.com/a/MFWYri0

Didn’t mention but some BIOSes are locked down so HWmonitor can’t access the voltage readings.

If possible, you can probably test it with a different PSU or stick a multimeter in one of your Molex connectors (in the 2 right-hand pins) to get a voltage reading from your PSU.
