  • Tried to update and shut down my PC and now I get this. What's the deal?

    It comes in either a bootable ISO or an EFI file. I'd recommend putting Ventoy on a flash drive and loading either the EFI file (listed as "Binary Files" on the page) or "Linux ISO w/ Grub" versions from that. This will wipe the flash drive, but you can just drag and drop ISOs or whatever into a folder and boot them without something like Rufus or Etcher. It's quite nice to have on hand either way for things like reinstalling Windows or booting tools.

  • Got some questions about system stability
    1 project | /r/pcmasterrace | 5 Dec 2023
    I've been having some weird issues such as Discord restarting itself and browser tabs crashing randomly. Originally I thought I was having some issue with Electron related programs, but the more I Google the more I see "test the ram" so I finally did. For context, my hesitation on testing ram is I haven't had a game crash or act weird once, outside of normal Linux things (Pop!_OS), it's just been browsers and Discord. Anyway I downloaded memtest86, the ISO version from here and flashed to USB using Popsicle. I got these results.

    What I would do is create a bootable thumbdrive with Memtest86+ installed. You can read about it and find the download link at (https://memtest.org) . What you'll be downloading is the program to install memtest86+ on a thumbdrive.
  • B650E-F non functional.

    That's good advice, especially when having many issues. RAM can be finicky (due to official specs, platform it's targeted for and timings) I usually test new ram configurations using an USB stick with memtest86+ on it (free from memtest.org). Some 7000 series CPU's seems to have trouble running RAM at 6000, and even though 6000 seems to be the norm, it is considered overclocking and the official specs are:
  • X670E Hero ram slots A1&A2 wont work after 3days of no electricity
    1 project | /r/ASUS | 6 Jun 2023
    Additional step is to boot Memtest86+ and see whether the system behaves as expected. Is the status of the different memory slots reported correctly?
  • Consistent total system crashes on PC

    Check if the cooling is not clogged up with dust, check if the PSU is rated comfortably above what your CPU and grfx card are supposed to draw. You can also check if you have bad Ram with this. For stresstesing your system you can use this.

    Sounds like a hardware fault. Run a memtest. If that passes without errors, your motherboard might be dieing.
