Components --------------------------------- CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X GPU: Nvidia 3060 ti FE Cooler: Cooler Master 212 RGB MOBO: Gigabyte B550M Aorus Pro-P RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 X 8GB) DDR4 3600 MHz (PC4-28800) C18 1.35V SSD: SAMSUNG 970 EVO Plus SSD 1TB Summary: ------------------------------- Once the PC was put together, I updated the BIOS to version F15c. Using Windows Media Creation, I created a bootable USB for Windows 10. After installation, everything functioned properly. I added some drivers, including the 3060 Ti, and attempted fan control software. Windows displayed a blue screen repeatedly, prompting a restart. It didn’t show the exact error code. Eventually, it transitioned to a black screen displaying the Gigabyte logo and began an automatic repair process. Power cycling helped temporarily, but the issue persisted. After another cycle, I tried booting from the USB drive, which repeatedly showed the same loading sequence: first the MOBO graphic (press F12), then a black screen. Debugging steps so far: -------------------------------------- Options explored: - Reformatting and creating a Windows bootable USB - Installed Ubuntu via the first selection screen - The OS cycled through the motherboard display and ended in a black screen No further progress. RAM XMP settings were adjusted; BIOS update to F15a was attempted. I’m unfamiliar with PC assembly and feel uncertain about the problem. I’m concerned something might be damaged, but I lack clear guidance. Any advice would be invaluable. Thank you, and feel free to share any additional details.

Hey there, it seems you're already thinking about it. Ignore my tips if you've got your own ideas. Turn off XMP—overclocking memory just adds more complications. Re-seat the RAM and test one stick at a time in different slots to see if the problem lies with the memory. Check your BIOS settings; whether it's UEFI or Legacy BIOS Mode could help others who read this. Try resetting the BIOS to see if stability improves. Make sure your PSU is adequate; otherwise, insufficient power might cause shutdowns. If you bought it locally, a nearby shop might offer useful advice. Good luck, and let the more experienced folks help when they arrive.
