    Solved Computer hangs after POST but before OS fully loads

    Yep! Just before I sent my last reply I got in contact with a repair shop about 40 minutes away in Edinburgh. I gave him the readers digest of what's happening and linked back to here for the full info, but before he came here he more or less agreed that it's either a CPU or mobo issue. After...

    Solved Computer hangs after POST but before OS fully loads

    Unfortunately that's not really possible for me. I have a second PC, my own, but nothing would be compatible as its an AM5 build, not AM4. The only other person I know that had a desktop gave it back to me, which just so happens to be the Novatech PC. Even if it was working, it's a LGA1150...

    Solved Computer hangs after POST but before OS fully loads

    Is there any way to know which one it is? I'm not exactly in a position to easily throw down on a new mobo to find it's the CPU and have to splash on that too and vice versa. Being able to know which one it is means getting it replaced is an easier pill to swallow. I just did some digging and...

    Solved Computer hangs after POST but before OS fully loads

    At no point whatsoever - The drives have stayed disconnected, including the boot drive. Everything after step 6 was ran off of 2 different USBs onto which I loaded images as needed in that moment with Rufus. Edit: And I have not tried that yet as the PC currently struggles with things like the...

    Solved Computer hangs after POST but before OS fully loads

    Hiya, it's me again! Unfortunately I have ran into a new issue, and after exhausting everything I know and then some, I'm still stuck. First and most importantly, the PC in question is my old rig now used by my partner. It's the exact same PC I used when I posted here with GPU issues back in...

    Solved Brand new GPU with multiple strange issues

    I kind of did just that. I managed to get the PC a bit more stable by having it laying flat downstairs hooked into the TV, however it was still very temperamental. Most I could get is 20 minute sessions before the same crash. About a few dozen crashes later I managed to backup my data, take a...

    Solved Brand new GPU with multiple strange issues

    Unfortunately I've just spent all I could on buying new components after almost a year of saving up for it, and the NVMe was only bought about 8 months ago. I'm not in a position financially just now to just go out and get a drive because windows can't keep itself together, as much as I'd wish...

    Solved Brand new GPU with multiple strange issues

    Ah. I ran 1 monitor from when you told me to do so up until I said I went back to 2 in that post, and returned back to 1 after the second crash on Wednesday to make the post, which has continued to be the case to now. And the 15% free space now makes sense. I was in a bit of a rush so got a bit...

    Solved Brand new GPU with multiple strange issues

    Only a few short minutes after making the previous post, it occurred again. I did not have a chance to do anything whatsoever - I booted the PC up for the first time today, made the reply here, and was occupied with a phone call when it suddenly happened. MTB log is attached as always. 1 monitor...

    Solved Brand new GPU with multiple strange issues

    Two. As mentioned in my previous post on Sunday: I felt it was stable enough to try at least and see if it made a difference, which it did not and continued to run fine. Since the first crash I've returned to using the second monitor only, and haven't yet tried to properly test it as I've...

    Solved Brand new GPU with multiple strange issues

    Looks like I was too quick to call it done. It has happened again. To make sure it was not a fluke, after bootup I went straight back to what I was doing before and managed to get it to happen again, much faster for whatever reason. Attached are the 2 MiniToolBox logs taken right after bootup...

    Solved Brand new GPU with multiple strange issues

    Since the last bootup in my last reply, I haven't had the time to stress the PC in the same way due to IRL issues taking priority. However, I did manage to leave it idling all night thursday, to no issues causing me to plug my second monitor in for further testing, and all day Friday without...

    Solved Brand new GPU with multiple strange issues

    Here's the report, attached to the bottom of this message. I should stress that at the time of the log no issue has occurred since the last message, and the PC has been on all day idling to try and repeat my last posts conditions of crash (24/10/23 11:27, time now 25/10/23 04:23). And the last...

    Solved Brand new GPU with multiple strange issues

    Yeah that's understandable. I quite like to get hands on, and I've stripped down and rebuilt a pc quite a few times over the years for things like cleaning, troubleshooting etc.. While installing the components I did strip it down fully to clean all the fans, case, stuff like that, and tried to...

    Solved Brand new GPU with multiple strange issues

    Ah that's my bad then. I always assumed they where one and the same. It's good to know for the future! And will do, and I'll report back if it happens again.
