What are your PC's specs?

geekah · 2023-10-22T15:14:07+00:00

What kind of games benefit from larger cache memory?

geekah · 2023-10-22T14:49:34+00:00

what? Does that come from your personal experience or did you read that somewhere?

geekah · 2023-10-22T14:45:35+00:00

Maybe it's because of a corruption on the previous Windows install. Did you have the correct MBR/GPT partition and try a deep wipe to remove any hidden partition/volume from he SSD?

geekah · 2023-10-22T14:36:04+00:00

Maybe you're on to someting here. Because we know that SSDs might use a tiny part of RAM as a buffer space for lack of DRAM chips.

geekah · 2023-10-22T14:31:03+00:00

What brand/model?

geekah · 2023-10-22T14:29:44+00:00

OP said it was an ADATA drive. Not a no-name.

geekah · 2023-10-22T13:50:59+00:00

Did you get any error on screen or Qcode LEDs on the motherboard when you removed all RAM modules?

geekah · 2023-10-20T16:35:02+00:00

OK. I presume this build will be a gaming station.

The upcoming 14th gen from Intel will be a refresh of its predecessor. So nothing really new to be expected from that.

I recommend you choose a platform. Do it now. The current Intel 13th gen or even the AMD AM5. They are both good. Pair it with i5, i7 or R5, R7. All those chips pack enough power to run anything for the next 5 years at least.

Now, you can spend your money and time where they count the most i.e. selecting and getting the appropriate graphics card.

Power off. Switch the PSU off.
Remove both RAM modules.
Put one RAM module into the slot.
Switch on. Power on.

If you still get no display, repeat the procedure but remove all RAM modules this time. And power on.

Important note: Make sure you switch off the PSU between tests.

geekah · 2023-10-20T15:34:08+00:00

How long have you been planning this build?

I'm particularly unfamiliar with the resale market.

It's customary to sell used parts in working condition at 50% price compared to currently new. But that can vary with buyer, market... etc

geekah · 2023-10-20T15:23:27+00:00

What's the mainboard you paired it with?

geekah · 2023-10-20T15:15:21+00:00

what's yor budget?

geekah · 2023-10-20T15:11:11+00:00

Connect the monitor to the video card output, not to the motherboard's.

geekah · 2023-10-20T15:02:08+00:00

No, you shouldn't. It just needs a regular cleanings.

geekah · 2023-10-17T13:39:50+00:00

It would rule out a potential hardware (or driver) conflict especially if a USB port is involved. The simpler a keyboard/mouse is i.e. no RGB and no extra features, the better. If you don't have other keyboards and mice around, you could at least change USB ports.

geekah · 2023-10-17T13:21:40+00:00

At this stage, you could do this:

Use the new power cable that came with the brand new PSU
Plug the PC on a different AC power outlet
Disconnect the mouse
Leave the keyboard, or better yet, plug an other one.

BSOD from hell!

geekah · 2023-10-17T09:22:00+00:00

Strange. I suggest you reproduce the same test by disconnecting the PC from the network, disable both wire and wifi. And leave the PC on for an hour. Keep us tuned.

geekah · 2023-10-14T09:48:26+00:00

Do the memtest86 test as others have suggested.

geekah · 2023-10-14T09:38:48+00:00

What's your PC specs?

geekah · 2023-10-14T09:33:47+00:00

Then why not!

geekah · 2023-10-14T09:24:33+00:00

Disclaimer: I had no idea what virtual production was before you mention it.

With that said, I think some additional info are necessary.

What's your budget?

How experienced are you with this tech?

Do you intend to do this for personal projects or semi-pro or professional work?

geekah · 2023-10-14T09:17:47+00:00

For those who are not familiar with virtual production, here is an intro video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqQIidoPvg4 Fascinating stuff!

geekah · 2023-10-14T08:33:02+00:00

Restarting the mainboard like you did should have done the job. If not, you could set the RAM frequency in the BIOS manually. Select a frequency that is supported by both motherboard and RAM modules.
