What's happening when you're trying to access the bios? Also, how are you trying to access the bios (what method)? The built in (since windows 10) function to reboot to the bios has worked fine for me for a long time.

hmm ok. I'll look around and see how MS has changed their update stuff. Generally, I think if you check Settings -> Updates & Security -> Windows update, and look for the "View update history" button that would tell us what we want to know. As far as configuring windows update to not update certain drivers, I'd have to look into that. I set that option on a custom windows install and haven't had to manually disable it for quite some time. Don't recall where it is. RE fast startup... You'd be really surprised at how many things disabling it fixes. I stopped keeping a list 3 years ago.

ok so, if this started mid-week last week, what happened before this? Any major changes? Windows update? Driver update? Do you know if windows update is configured to allow updating your drivers automatically? As a long shot, you could do yourself a favor and disable fast startup.. I've seen this fix far, far too many issues. Control Panel -> Power options -> Choose what the power buttons do Click the link that says "Change settings that are currently unavailable" Under the "Shutdown settings" area, untick the box that says "Turn on fast startup (Recommended)" Don't believe the text that says restart isn't affected. Fast startup especially doesn't matter for you, because you're on an SSD. Reboot so that disabling it takes effect, and then try DDU and reinstall again. When you DDU, and reinstall, are you booting into safe mode and installing the driver? I was never aware of that issue, thanks for the heads up. I know a few people on 3000 series lol.

Which rig in your sig is the sim rig? I would start by checking the event viewer for entries around the time of the crash, and see if anything else other than the graphics driver crashing is happening. Other than that, DDU remove and reinstall driver would be a good idea.

I've got symmetrical gig from Verizon. Rarely see those speeds anymore, steam no longer saturates it. I'd post a speedtest but I'm on WiFi and it's sucking.

I'm interested to see how this platform does (haven't fired up my sig rig yet). I'm also interested to see what happens with the x3d parts, given the extra cache is only on one CCD. Hoping there isn't an issue similar to the scheduler problems on intel 12th gen. Anyone here running Zen 4 on linux yet? How is that? Also, nice S2K! I'll have to start a build thread for my car as well ha.

Thanks, and thank you for starting ExtremeHW! I'm really happy to be here. I came back to OCN after a while and... wondered what the heck happened. ExtremeHW feels more like what I remember.

Nice numbers! I actually have not OC'd anything Ryzen, my last OC was on a 4790K that I had like... 4.8Ghz stable. How was the RAM OC? seemed like a tricky thing on that platform. You're running an Arctic AIO, from the pics? I also had one of those, but my previous case didn't have top mount (InWIn 805). I still would've had clearance issues though. I was contemplating waiting on the x3d parts but didn't like how the extra cache was only on one CCD. I figure I'll wait for another CPU cycle to pass and see what comes to the AM5 socket later on. Hoping to avoid scheduler issues, like what intel had with 12th gen and windows. Yeah, those heatsinks are a problem for sure. Why I ended up staying away from that specific board, and went with the GODLIKE, was due to the PCI-E lane assignment... makes absolutely no sense imo. But, I am running like 5 NVMe drives as well, going for no sata devices, so I'm definitely a no-so-common use case, probably. All speed, less cables to deal with? that's a win lol. The Crosshair X670E drops the primary X16 slot down to x8 if you populate m.2_2... there's more than enough lanes on X670E to avoid crap like that, imo. Edit - I was thinking Crosshair X670E Extreme, but it wouldn't surprise me if the Hero did the same thing with PCI-E lane assignment.

Title says it - anyone here playing dwarf fortress? I've snagged the steam version, but I'm still on the regular version from bay12games for now. The new graphics update doesn't want to see to work on this pc (laptop, not my sig rig) ASCII works fine. Anyone else encounter this?

I would think the magni/modi stack would push those headphones better than most soundcards we have today. Are the drivers really actually incompatible? I can't tell you how many windows 7/8 drivers I've used that are just fine on W10. What motherboard are you running?

Thank you! Thanks! How do like the ROG Crosshair VIII Hero? I was debating moving to that w/ a 5900X (had a 5800x/ASUS b550xe-gaming WIFi) and went X670E instead.

Hey all! I came over from OCN, where I've been a member since 2014. I'm hoping to start a new OC journey here, and it feels like what I remember OCN being like, so I'm pretty excited!
