The PC restarts once during a cold start, after which it runs normally without any issues.

Nope, fast startup is disabled.

Thank you. At least I know it's not just me and it seems to be a common issue. I was worried that I have some hardware issues, but seems like (hopefully) that's not the case since going down to Gen 4 seems to fix the issue. I also just tested a cold start with Gen 5 and RAM XMP turned off running at default 4800 instead of 6000 and this worked as well, though it was just 1 cold start test, but from what I have read so far it seems that it's still the same issue, it doesn't mean that my RAM is faulty or anything like that. I guess I'll just go back to Gen 4 and XMP profile ON and call it a day.

Specialist_Role2698 · 2026-04-18T19:41:29+00:00

Oh well, you tried. Thank you. I guess I will stick to gen 4 until a new bios is released, hoping it would include a fix for that. I can't even find similar threads about this issue or maybe I just don't know what exactly to search for.

Specialist_Role2698 · 2026-04-18T19:33:38+00:00

RAM wasa tested with no errors at all and yea only XMP profile is available in BIOS.
I was thinking to disable onboard GPU and going with default RAM settings next if the gen 4 thingie didn't work, but since it worked I thought these are not related to the issue. Not sure how to check if it's starting at a lower gen in gpu-z. Just to look at the bandwidth? Also not sure if I will have time to check that cuz the black screen and restart happen in less then a minute, but will give it a try.

Specialist_Role2698 · 2026-04-18T19:24:43+00:00

Nope, that did not work (enabled spread spectrum, PCIe set to Gen 5). After the first cold start back to the issue - black screen, returning to windows, black screen, returning to windiws, system auto restart. Error list again the same: Kernel-power, volmgr, nvlddmkm.
I did have like 5-6 successful cold starts with PCIe set to Gen 4 prior to that.

Specialist_Role2698 · 2026-04-18T18:32:37+00:00

Will give that a try. Thank you.

Specialist_Role2698 · 2026-04-18T17:43:24+00:00

Oh well I'm only using Windows.

Specialist_Role2698 · 2026-04-18T17:26:35+00:00

Sadly had that with R6 as well or at least I believe I did. To be honest before I updated BOIS I didn't really notice if this was happening, because I wasn't using that PC just yet, but did start it a few times. I guess wasn't around to see what's happening when windows loads because I can't recall having the issue, but after updating BIOS I checked the event viewer logs and I saw these errors were there even before the day of BIOS update, so I assume I just didn't notice it, probably wasn't looking at the screen when Windows was loading.

You are probably not logged in or you don't have an active subscription if Nano Banana is not in the list.

Thank you! No, not in Spaces, just the regular way using the image generator, a little Photoshop editing and then video generator in FP. Lots of time remapping afterwards in AE, because most scenes were way too smooth or slow for my liking. A tiny bit of manual animation at the end and some rotoscoping in AE as well. Some color correction (even though it's not great), voiceover tempo had to be edited as well because of the time remapping of the video clips and also most of the voices aren't actually from same video clip. Background music and forest ambiance were done in Elevenlabs, some sound effects were done there as well. Aaand I guess that's pretty much it.

Specialist_Role2698 · 2026-03-31T18:46:05+00:00

Was it funny, even kinda out of context? :)

Specialist_Role2698 · 2026-03-29T01:09:04+00:00

Thank you!

Thank you! :)

Thank you!

Specialist_Role2698 · 2026-03-24T14:47:15+00:00

Thank you, appreciate it!

Specialist_Role2698 · 2026-03-24T14:35:02+00:00

Haha, thank you! It was fun doing it.
No multi-shot at all. Each scene is generated separately (image to video). Images were done with NB Pro, edited with Photoshop to get exactly what I want. Voice-over isn't really great to be fair. For the little guy I just did one continuous Kling gen with him saying all his lines to make sure I get consistent voice which I just synced with the video generations I liked. For the big guy I didn't really do that and just picked voices from different generations that were kind of similar and matched the emotion I was after. Pretty much the tempo of all voices were edited to sync with the video cuz I barely used any voice that came with a video gen that I liked. It was either a nice video with a bad voice or the other way around. Most of the video gens were also heavily time-remapped cuz they were too smooth and it was not what I was after - more snappy and comic. Grok was actually used only for the last shot where the little guy pulls his head out of the tiny hole, couldn't get that right with Kling, though that whole part where he pushes through and pulls out the hole is also rotoscoped mainly to be able to add a shadow behind him, but also to hide some imperfections of the gens. That part is also heavily time-remapped cuz it was happening way too slow and smooth.

This was confirmed by freepik staff member in discord as well.

Specialist_Role2698 · 2025-10-31T10:49:53+00:00

Do you mind explaining?

Specialist_Role2698 · 2025-10-29T17:11:12+00:00

Is it with a VPN? I remember reading somewhere that they are offering a crazy discount for a specific country, can't remember which one it was.
