I did try this previously. I had optimized bios defaults set, all overclocking removed and had the 256gb drive out (as well as the samsung drive). I have tried almost every combination of hardware and settings over the past 2-3 weeks. Something is off for sure. Even the ram sticks above, random...

It was a boot drive from my previous machine running win 10. I did a full format on the drive and now it is just there as additional storage (unused at the moment really), and I also had attempted boots with both of the additional drives removed (ie just the PCS installed 1TB m.2 boot/windows C...

Here is a 4 min video just now. I went to get the boot priority for you and had a 2nd failed boot. Hopefully this video can explain the problem and you see it in action.

OK so I had the machine plugged directly into the wall and have been getting the same results. My guess is maybe something up with the motherboard. Yesterday, during one of its bogey startup hangs, I decided to just leave it for a few minutes. After about 5 minutes it did eventually get into...

OK so I done a wipe and reinstall of windows. Had one failed boot today and one successful. It appears that when I have the computer plugged into the wall directly, boots seem ok...but I need to do more testing to confirm. When using a power strip I get failures. I even tried a heavy duty...

Case Corsair td500 RGB (comes with 3x corsair LL120 fans Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™ i9 16-Core Processor i9-12900K (3.2GHz) 30MB Cache Motherboard ASUS® ROG STRIX Z690-F GAMING WIFI (LGA1700, USB 3.2, PCIe 5.0) - ARGB Ready Memory (RAM) 32GB Corsair Dominator DDR5 5200MHz (2 x 16GB) Graphics...

I can later, but I have it set to priority 1 being the boot drive, priority 2 is disabled . So it only has the one priority option....which I think is correct? I updated the intel nvme drivers just there and ran the intel drive health checker (quick scan) and all showing healthy. Next step may...

When I added in my other drives, one was picking up as the boot drive, I then changed this in BIOS to pick up the correct boot drive as it was shipped from PCS. This was all fine and a minor change. When I contacted customer care, they didn't give me any information as to what the testing boot...

I contacted them before updating the bios, plus it was the latest one for the mobo off the ASUS site. It made no difference that I can tell. It was flashed successfully and everything is operating as it should still, with the exception of the cold boot....this problem remains. Interestingly, I...

OK, so I've been trying to avoid returning the machine....but looks like it's heading that way. Basically on cold boots, the machine hangs on the bios screen and won't boot to windows. This only happens on the first boot of the morning after being powered off overnight. PC is always powered off...

Your almost certainly going to need a dedicated graphics card if you plan to do gaming on it. I've never even tried run a game with the integrated engine since flight sim, back about 10 years ago. I got about 10fps. Asking the cpu to run the game and deal with rendering too....its asking a lot I...

Hi All I am just wondering in practical terms, what the difference is between the following 2 boards: ASUS® ROG MAXIMUS Z690 HERO WIFI ASUS® ROG STRIX Z690-F GAMING WIFI I note there is a decent price jump on them, but I am of the opinion that they are both OK for gaming. There will be a Asus...

So I have been making changes all along. Orginally went with a load of corsair cappelix parts, cooler, rgb fans, corsair 5000x case and then jumped between a 3090 (Zotac I assume) and a strix 3080ti. Then I decided to ditch the corsair stuff, and "downgrade" the motherboard from the Asus Rog...

The one thing to rember is that Windows 11 specifically has the scheduling for the alder lake cpu to take advantage of the main cores and e-cores. This is the only reason I've it specced on my new system being built. I will turn off the added security features in the bios and the hcvi thing in...

It definitely looks like its on the game side, and possibly by design. The machine is fine dude. It takes a lot to go wrong to run into hardware issues (generally speaking). Happy gaming.

Yes this yellow halo. Now if you look at the top of the screen where it tells you your orientation, North, South, East etc.....it changes from "S" or something and goes into distance in yards or meters or something. This happens at the exact same time as the flash of yellow on screen.

Please read my comment "I am not saying they are falsifying stuff," I know how the CDC works, I also know how big Pharma works. I am a shareholder in a pharma company (publicly traded), and I can tell you this much, the only thing management and shareholders care about is the profitability of...

I am more concerned with the branding on the fans on the H150 capellix they sell. The cooler plate I don't care about too much. But it would look odd with 7 corsair fans and then 3 PCS fans on the radiator.

The yellow halo in your game coincides with the games direction legend changing to a distance legend readout at the top of the screen. This does not appear to be artefacting. It takes a lot of pushing to get GPU's to run into issues, and normally it will be sustained artefacting during an...

If this is true, I will be happy - as all fans will be corsair branded in this case. The cooler I bought was the 360mm corsair capellix. In the images it looks like it has the PCS branding on the fans...but I cannot be sure. This is why I was considering changing to the 280mm cooler, as it...
