It was very similar to the above, I first did a factory reset with the secure erase option to delete everything. Then used the USB setup with the "create install media" tool. I will re-install again and this time install no tools like razer, corsair icue etc. I think this is the cause: Error...

Yes, from a USB stick

Unfortunately, it happened again. I've been looking at the event viewer and ive found some suspicious events. @ubuysa One of the events seems to do with the AMD CPU you mentioned, at least google returns posts mentioning it from my error logs. A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while...

After several restarts it has happened again unfortunately, i will try to clean install from a boot drive.

What really? Why would updating my BIOS invalidate hardware warranty?.......

Oh I see, I wouldn't have expected that. I just finished flashing my BIOS and my system has restarted twice now without problems. It is too early to say yet as it is intermittent. I will post an update in a day or two if it is working consistently. If not I will try clean installing from...

Mine got into testing today too!

Not sure, i checked today on the pc configurator,and it no longer showed as out of stock so should be good ^.^. Fingers crsossed I get my pc next week :D. My christmas holidays are starting end of this week. Edit: SpyderTracks above answered the question.

Mine did too, 3090 and a 5950X. The only thing im worried about is my cpu cooler. The Corsair H115i RGB PLATINUM Hydro Series High Performance CPU Cooler I had chosen showed out of stuck at the time. (13/11).

Thanks for the advice, I upgraded ;)

From what I gathered the 5950x is only better if i wanna do some heavy work on the PC, the base clock speed seems to be lower than the 5900X too. Well I'm a noob and can spend a few hundred extra. That LG monitor looks pretty dope, I might just get it too.

Ordered it this morning, so can still amend. Money isnt much of an issue, i couldnt see any better options on the site unless i went into the liquid options, which I'm not really interested it.
