Thanks, everybody. The problem has eased; I thought I would need to do a backup of a system's HDD onto a USB SSD because Windows wasn't booting, but I was able to do a system restore and Windows is booting for now. So with the urgency gone I had time to get a proper USB 3 cable. (I also realized...
Can I use a USB 2.0 cable, plugged into a USB 2.0 port, for a USB 3.2 SSD? I accept that speed will be slower.
Just want to make sure that there won't be data integrity issues (reading/writing to the SSD), and that enough power is supplied to the SSD.
The cable is a 30" phone charging cable...
1. I need to store a GPU in one of the silvery ESD-prevention bags that GPU's/mobos come in. Can you use Scotch/adhesive tape to seal the bag shut, or does that compromise the metal layer (rip the metal off when you remove the tape) - is the metal layer usually on the inside or outside of the...
Thanks Markfw.
My memory is GSkill Ripjaws V 2x4GB F4-3200C16D-8GVKB, and it is on the QVL. I am not running it using the XMP profile (or overclocking it any other way), so it's doing this at everything default.
Thanks. I think it was in fact drivers. I didn't realize VGA or default video drivers could have such a drastic effect, but it seemed to sort itself out (updating to Windows Fall Creators update also seemed to help).
I ran Prime95 for 6 hours and Memtest86 for 4 passes/4 hours, and all looked...
Thanks... but I can't take credit for the nforce (because that was part of a pre-built system). I do remember the Riva 128 though, and how everyone had envy for the Glide support of VooDoo I. But they comforted themselves that the Riva was faster and had 16-bit color. (Of course then nVidia...
Thanks Markfw. I had already ordered the parts at the time of your post (my bad for not updating the OP to reflect this), but your suggestion of the cas 14 Samsung B-die is tempting. I decided to go with what I already have, though, since the difference is perhaps $25 if I ship my old RAM back...
Thanks for that suggestion, as well. I think I might go with the other approach you mentioned - the new, reputable brand SSD, if you can find for cheap. (Although I may have given the impression of thinking about budget first, reliability is still more important to me in this build, so prefer a...
Ahahaha - I did notice my sig was ridiculous but left it because I didn't have anything better (or interesting), and I guess it had that humorous nostalgia value... though I'm sure people have more hardcore old stuff lying around. (In fact, there was a thread about it, right?)
You're right, I...
I don't think I have the info in Event Viewer or in minidumps because I updated to Windows Fall Creators Update in the interim, but of the two BSOD's, I have a screencap of one of them from my phone. It was CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT.
Does that help? I'm reading that it's sometimes due to drivers...
I have a brand new Ryzen build that locked up once and blue screened once within first ~two hours of finishing Windows installation, with little or no stress, doing simple things in the desktop or even idling in the desktop with only NZXT CAM running (CPU temp probably didn't exceed 40 celsius)...
Thanks BonzaiDuck! Yeah, I agree that inference (with facts) can be a pretty good tool... I'm not really experienced with hardware when it comes down to it so maybe for me the facts and framework aren't always there.
Thanks for the help. I didn't know about the GSkill "configurator". I have...
