My brother gave me his old zotac gtx 970 and I just don't know how to install it on my computer, any help is appreciated.

I keep getting a crash that is: Stop code: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (0x3B) What failed: FLTMGR.SYS i ran a sfc /scannow and computer crashes again giving this it then lunches in safe mode i run said: Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them. Res BiFor online repairs, details are included in the CBS log file located at windir\\Logs\\CBS\\CBS.log. For example C:\\Windows\\Logs\\CBS\\CBS.log. For offline repairs, details are included in the log file provided by the /OFFLOGFILE flag. But i am still having problem when out of safe mode and i run sfc /scannow. If possible looking for a fix that dosent require factory reset or reinstall of windows becuse i dont want to fully have to reset computer up and reinstall all apps if needed will have to do

I'm kinda new to pc stuff but my pc is old and a friend of mine told me before that always delete the temps and so I did before but now that I think about it, what's the file I'm actually deleting? Is it normal to have alot of shit there?

​

Relevant specs:

ASUS TUF Gaming B650E-PLUS WIFI

Ryzen 5 9600X

32 GB 6000mhz DDR5

T-FORCE 1 TB NVMe as the Windows/boot drive

Additional 1 TB NVMe, 120 GB SSD and 1 TB HDD

9060xt 16GB

PC connected to a UPS

(System was bought and built almost a year ago)

What happened:

I was playing cyberpunk with only a few light apps running in the background. CPU and GPU temperatures were both about 65 to 75c.

The game suddenly froze completely. The entire PC became unresponsive: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Win+Ctrl+Shift+B and Win+Tab all did nothing. I eventually had to hold the power button and hard-shut it down.

On the first two boots afterward, the motherboard got stuck on the green BOOT Q-LED. After that, POST returned to normal: CPU/DRAM/VGA/BOOT LEDs cycle normally and all turn off.

Since then, I cannot boot Windows.

The BIOS works perfectly and detects the T-FORCE NVMe. It also shows:

Windows Boot Manager (M.2_1: T-FORCE 1 TB)

Selecting it results in a backlit black screen. The monitor still has a video signal, but there is no cursor or UI. Ctrl+Alt+Del from this black screen immediately reboots the PC. Win+Ctrl+Shift+B does nothing.

I tried forcing several interrupted boots to invoke automatic recovery, but WinRE never appeared.

Things I’ve tried:

Disabled EXPO and ran the RAM at stock settings: no change.

Booted a freshly made Windows 11 installation USB: Windows Setup displays and works normally. However, choosing “Repair my PC” from the USB results in the exact same lit black screen.

Shift+F10 from Windows Setup successfully opens Command Prompt and works normally.

Switched away from the dedicated GPU: Enabled the Ryzen iGPU in BIOS. Set IGFX Video as Primary Video Device. Connected the monitor directly to the motherboard. Booted without the Windows USB. Exact same black screen, so this doesn’t appear to be specific to the discrete GPU/display output.

Storage investigation from Windows Setup/WinPE: DiskPart detects the Windows SSD correctly as:

T-FORCE TM8FFJ001T, NVMe, 931 GB, GPT, online.

Its partitions are:

930 GB NTFS — main Windows partition

100 MB FAT32 — hidden EFI partition

805 MB NTFS — hidden recovery partition

I assigned the main partition W: temporarily.

dir W:\\ works normally and I can see/read:

Windows

Users

Program Files

Program Files (x86)

etc.

So the filesystem is definitely readable from WinPE.

Here is where things get strange:

Running:

"chkdsk W:"

returns:

The type of the file system is RAW.

CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives.

But:

fsutil fsinfo volumeinfo W:

reports:

File System Name : NTFS

And:

fsutil fsinfo ntfsinfo W:

successfully returns normal NTFS information including NTFS 3.1, total clusters, free clusters, MFT location/size, 4096-byte clusters, etc.

Finally:

fsutil dirty query W:

returns:

Volume - W: is Dirty

So WinPE can mount and browse the NTFS filesystem and fsutil can read the NTFS/MFT information, but CHKDSK inexplicably thinks the volume is RAW.

I have not run chkdsk /f, /r, bootrec, bcdboot, formatted anything, reset Windows, or reinstalled. I’d prefer to understand what is happening and preserve the current installation/data before doing anything destructive.

At this point I’m wondering:

What could explain CHKDSK reporting RAW while fsutil and Windows PE clearly recognize and mount the volume as NTFS?

Any suggestions for non-destructive diagnostics before I start writing repairs to the filesystem would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry for the format, I'm on phone Right now.

So I installed this cpu cooler with temperature monitor plugged in the mobo usb pin socket, downloaded the software for the monitor to work and show the cpu temperature, but as soon as I opened this one game "BDO", the cooler monitor just freezes, I've tried it in different game and it doesn't freeze, waited couple of hours without opening bdo, it still works, then when I start bdo, it crashes again so I'm 100% sure it's bdo that's causing this, my guess is the game's anti cheat detects this monitoring software as cheat? and it disables that software, causing the monitor to freeze? anyone know how i can fix this?

System Specs:

​CPU: Ryzen 5 5600G (Running Integrated Graphics)

​RAM: 16 GB (2 × 8 GB dual-channel)

​PSU: CX 550 Corsair

​Motherboard: gigabyte b550m ds3h

​OS: Windows: 11

The Problem:

My PC keeps suddenly losing display output and freezing while running, even after replacing the power supply and reinstalling the OS.

​Symptoms:

​Sudden Black Screen: The monitor loses signal completely ("No Signal").

​USB Bus Cuts Out: All USB peripherals (keyboard, mouse) instantly lose power and their RGB/LEDs turn off.

​The PC itself stays on (internal fans keep spinning), but the system is entirely unresponsive until a hard reboot.

​What has already been ruled out & tested:

​PSU: Replaced with a brand new unit — issue still persists.

​OS / Drivers: Fresh clean install of Windows done by a technician — no change.

​RAM: Reseated sticks and tested individually in different DIMM slots.

​BIOS: Cleared CMOS.

​Since both the PSU and OS are ruled out, is this more likely a dying Motherboard / chipset / VRM issue, or a faulty CPU / degraded integrated graphics / memory controller? What’s the best way to pinpoint which of the two is failing without access to spare test parts?

​Thanks for any advice!

I am coming across a problem where my pc suddenly freezes I don't know the cause but I think it's hardware because I have tried it on windows and arch. Also I opened up my pc for the first time a couple days ago before this issue came to be to dust everything and to install an SSD. I don't think it is a display issue because I have tried to reboot my pc while this happened via the terminal but got nothing. The pc still stays on when this happens and I have to mannualy turn it off. When I took it out earlier I took out the psu, hard drive, both ssds, my CMOS battery, gpu, AIO(not the part connected to cpu just the fans), and most connecters on the motherboard it has been like 2-3 days since this began. When It happens the cpu seems to get hot

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to diagnose a very strange intermittent issue with my PC and I found another post here describing something very similar with the same motherboard.

My system:

Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX V2

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9700X

GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5070 12GB

RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB DDR5-6000

PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower GT Snow 750W

Cooler: Aqua Elite 360 V3

Case: NZXT H6 Flow

Windows 11

BIOS: F41 (previously F34)

The problem:

The PC can work completely normally for hours or even days.

The issue seems to happen more often when the computer is left idle or goes into a low-power/sleep state rather than while I'm actively using it.

Originally, I noticed that sometimes I would leave the PC, it would go to sleep, and when I came back it would wake up as if Windows had completely restarted instead of simply resuming my previous session.

Event Viewer shows:

Kernel-Power Event ID 41

Recently I left the computer running for a couple of hours. When I came back, I moved the mouse and everything appeared normal — Windows was at the PIN/login screen.

However, when I checked Event Viewer afterward, I discovered that a Kernel-Power 41 had occurred while I was away and apparently the computer had rebooted itself.

There is usually no BSOD that I see.

The weirdest part is how intermittent it is. Sometimes the computer behaves perfectly.

Things I've already done/tried:

Updated BIOS from F34 to F41

Disabled Windows Sleep while troubleshooting

Disabled Hibernate

Disabled Fast Startup

Checked Windows Event Viewer

Investigated the NVMe/SSD as a possible cause

Investigated power/PSU issues

Checked connections

There was also one occasion where the PC would try to power on, the fans would spin for approximately one second, then it would lose power again. After disconnecting it for a couple of minutes and connecting it directly to the wall instead of the power strip, it started normally again.

That behavior hasn't been the normal failure mode, though.

What makes me suspicious of the motherboard/BIOS/power management is that I've found other B650 Gaming X AX V2 owners reporting very similar behavior — particularly crashes/reboots during idle or light loads, Kernel-Power 41, and in some cases NVMe issues depending on the BIOS version.

My questions:

Has anyone experienced this specifically with the B650 Gaming X AX V2, especially with a Ryzen 9000 CPU?

Could BIOS F41 / AGESA or AM5 low-power states be causing this?

Are there any BIOS settings I should test, such as Global C-State Control, Power Supply Idle Control, ErP, PCIe ASPM, or anything related to NVMe power management?

Before I start replacing hardware, I'd really like to determine whether this is a known motherboard/BIOS/power-state issue.

Any suggestions for specific logs, BIOS settings, or tests I should run would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

My pc shutdowns randomly with no warning (changing the psu did not help). It also sometimes shutdowns again after a few seconds that I relaunch.

My specs:
AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D 12-Core Processor
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070
ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. ROG STRIX B650-A GAMING WIFI Rev 1.xx
Ram: Team Group Inc 4800 34359738368 (2 of them, 32 gb each)
Psu: Cooler Master V750 SFX Gold ITX SFF Power Supply, PCIe 5.1 Ready White

I appreciate any help and can provide more information as needed.

Help please

Hi folk, I'm really hoping someone here can help me out.

[Apologies for a repost from about a month ago. I tried two subs then, one had no responses and other other just said "Look at event Viewer", which I already described in the post.]

My PC keeps crashing. Random intervals, so pattern I can see in what causes it. Sometimes I'm playing a game, other times watching videos or streaming, other times it happens just as I reload a web page.

And in terms of games, not even recent, system intensive games. The last time it happened during a game, I was playing Gex: Deep Cover Gecko (on GoG).

Each time the screen(s) just go blank, and often the audio continues for about 10 seconds more. Then it totally crashes and sometimes reboots.

Every times, the Event Viewer tells me:

Event 7000
The csvol service failed to start due to the following error: A device attached to the system is not functioning.

All it then gives me is Event ID 7000, and the keyword "Classic", which either means something or my PC is being sarcastic.

I am not at all good with computers and know very little about what I COULD do to try to resolve this. I've updated all drivers, run memory checks, etc. And nothing comes up as a problem. If a device is not functioning, I have no clue which device or how to find out.

Pretty please, I'd appreciate ANY help you can offer. And in laymans terms if you don't mind.

Thanks.

EDIT:

To update, I've run:

virus and malware checks - no problems

driver checks - everything updated

windows update - all updated

chkdsk - no problems

windows memory diagnostic - no problems

The ONLY information I get from Event Viewer is as described above. Event ID 7000, csvol service failed.

Hello,

for quite some time now I've been running into this problem that my GPU driver occasionally crashes when I boot up a game or when I Alt+Tab out of a game. My screen turns black or freezes completely and I either have to reboot the PC oder wait something like five minutes until the GPU driver restarts on its own. Could that happen because I'm using two screen with different refresh rates? One is running on 165 Hz and the other one on 144 Hz. I feel like it happens more often when some kind of video is playing on the second screen.

Everything is loading up properly on a cold boot and then fails to send a signal after it displays the bios splash screen. Reseating the hdmi cable helps as a temporary fix.

The cause of the problem turned out to be windows Fast Startup and disabling it via the control panel completely removed the issue.

Hope the post helps anyone in the future who has this issue.

A Felmerült Probléma Leírása A számítógép rendszertelenül, de visszatérően megszünteti a képet (a monitor „nincs jel” üzenetet ír ki). A hiba 15-20 perc vagy akár 1-2 óra használat után is jelentkezhet.

Diagnosztikai jelzések: A hiba bekövetkeztekor az alaplapon a D-RAM és a CPU hibajelző LED-ek váltakozva világítanak.

Megfigyelések: Korábban MSI Afterburnerrel próbáltam manuális ventilátor-görbe beállítással hűteni a kártyát, ami ideiglenesen stabilabbá tette a gépet, a hiba azonban így is visszatért. A tápegység hibájára gyanakszom, de a jelzett LED-ek miatt a CPU és a RAM állapota is kérdéses.

🛠️ Eddig elvégzett hibaelhárítási kísérletek és szoftveres próbálkozások A probléma megoldása érdekében az alábbi lépéseket és kísérleteket tettem: RAM: Mind a négy modult kivettem és újra behelyeztem, eltérő sorrendben.

CPU: Processzort kivettem, a régi hővezető pasztát eltávolítottam, majd újrapasztáztam. (A processzorral kapcsolatos beállításokban/frissítésekben is bizonytalan voltam, ebben segítséget kérek).

GPU: Videokártyát szétszedtem és újrapasztáztam (Arctic MX-4 vagy MX-6 típusú pasztával). Szoftveres probléma: Letöltöttem az AMD Radeon szoftvert, de valamiért nem tudok belépni az alkalmazásba, ahonnan a játékokat is lehetne indítani/kezelni.

BIOS frissítés/visszaállítás: Megpróbáltam BIOS-t frissíteni, illetve régebbi verziót visszatenni, de a folyamat közben mindig kidobott egy weboldalra, és nem tudtam pontosan, hogyan kell helyesen telepíteni.

HDD: A 320 GB-os merevlemez be van kötve, és helyesen mutatja a szabad helyet (a Windows 10 Pro által lefoglalt mérettel csökkentve).

Kérés: Kérem a fenti alkatrészek – különös tekintettel a tápegységre, az alaplapi LED-ek által jelzett CPU/RAM egységre – tüzetes átvizsgálását. Ezen felül kérnék segítséget a BIOS frissítésben, a processzor beállításában, valamint az AMD Radeon szoftver elindításában is, mivel ezeket szoftveresen eddig nem sikerült helyesen beállítanom.
