I saved every driver yet my games continue to fail or the PC behaves oddly
I saved every driver yet my games continue to fail or the PC behaves oddly
I assembled my initial PC yesterday. All parts functioned correctly, the motherboard bios recognized everything, I installed all necessary drivers from the motherboard's web page, and the Nvidia GeForce Experience drivers were also updated. Everything seemed current at that point. After completing the setup, I downloaded Valorant (which experienced a few crashes but eventually stabilized), and Minecraft Java via GamePass (since I have a GamePass subscription). Minecraft continues to crash, displaying a warning about mismatched Microsoft accounts even though both are linked to the same account. The PC also blue-screened once. While troubleshooting on YouTube, the video froze abruptly after "aw snap!" moments, which likely indicates loading issues. I restarted the browser and it worked again. This recurring problem occurred every time I tried to stream or browse. I cleared my cache and history, but the issue persisted—only this machine had it, unlike my laptop (which resolved the same problem elsewhere). I also checked Amazon for solutions and found a fix there. My system specs are: Ryzen 5 5600X, MSI RX 3060, 12GB Corsair Vengeance, 32GB DDR4, 3600MHz, MSI Mag B550, Tomahawk Max, Wi-Fi 6E, Samsung 970 EVO Plus, and 2TB Corsair RM750E. Windows hasn’t been activated yet.
I'm shocked I missed the bios. I won't be able to work on it this evening or tomorrow, but I'll update you later!
