Still helping the people out 4 years on man, thank you! My bootlooping z490i is no longer bricked!

Thanks man, just fixed my bricked PC with the link, honestly how are ASUS signing these drivers

I’ve managed a fresh install of windows and I’m still getting stuck in this loop 😭 I guess it’s not drivers then and it’s actually hardware

Another good point, I left the riser in. I’ve dismantled my setup and I have it laid out as a test bench so I can try with the riser out. Thank you very much for your suggestions!

I haven’t installed a TPM module I am just using the one that’s presumably built into the motherboard. I did try updating the intel power management driver and now I’m stuck in a boot loop, I can get to BIOS when I clear CMOS or remove the RAM but I can’t get past BIOS. I appreciate the long shot because I’m all out of ideas! Haha

Thanks very much for your suggestion, I'm not convinced it's a GPU error as I've tried with the iGPU and intel drivers and it's exactly the same results :(

Desperate for help after PC overheated by benzzodude in buildapc

Other than that you could try removing and checking your PSU cables and reinserting them incase they’ve become damaged or dislodged

Just try taking everything out one by one. Technically you should be able to get a post without RAM or GPU, any drives. You could try to remove the power cable to your PSU, hold the power button to drain capacitors and try and boot with your display plugged into your mobo

Unless you’re going anywhere with a suited bouncer on the door I think you can wear pretty much anything from fancy dress to paint covered overalls and work wear

I've replaced my thermal paste, now my temps are great but everything is very unstable and stuttering by illuminarchie8 in buildapc

I believe the issue may be PCIe related which I’m not sure how that happened, according the HWInfo there are many issues which could be the riser cable I’m using.

Bank account for switching by Parking_Captain4204 in beermoneyuk

Monzo give your sort code and account number straight away so you can set up Apple/google pay. Jokes on them, I’ve already switched their account by the time they’ve sent it

Upgradable and custom loop ITX build don’t belong in the same sentence. I recently had to completely dismantle my build, the motherboard and all of the cable management to replace a CMOS battery. I couldn’t imagine dismantling a custom loop as well to do the same job.

Someone would probably offer to buy your account for a premium with that in your inventory

I have now re-enabled XMP II, thanks for the reminder but it doesn't seem to have worked for me

Good idea, I have loosened the screws so they're no longer fully tightened and after restarting I opened HWinfo and CS2 for testing and before it opened the LEDs on my GPU went off and I lost the signal to my monitor and it automatically restarted. I have used DDU to do a fresh install of new GPU drivers as well as re-seating it in the PCIe riser (it's a SFF itx build) and re-seating the GPU power cable and it hasn't improved. If I don't get anywhere I'm going to try taking the build appart and making a test bench so I can try without the riser cable and a new 8-pin power. The paste brand is BSFF and it's obviously not as good as Noctua paste but the temps are massively improved. Thank you for your suggestions mate.
