PC functions, but with very limited interaction.
Hey, I’m having some issues with my new PC setup. Yesterday I assembled everything and used these components: Asus STRIX B550-F board, Ryzen 7 5800X processor, Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti graphics card, Vengeance 32GB RAM (8GBx4), JustOK professional power supply, Akasa air cooler. At first it booted fine without any problems. But the next morning it wouldn’t start properly—just started briefly before shutting down. I fixed it by using only one RAM stick, then added the rest later. While installing Windows and downloading drivers, I encountered a big problem with Logitech software. It opened and nearly opened 200 tabs at once, trying to log into my account on Logitech. After that, the PC froze, making typing impossible or causing tabs to disappear. When I tried to search online, the taskbar wouldn’t respond, and even basic searches reloaded the page without results. I also ran a chkdsk in CMD, which reported errors with an uppercase file, but when I ran chkdsk/f to fix it, it said it couldn’t repair the issue. I need assistance with these problems.
Just to confirm, you turned off the device and removed power before installing RAM, correct? Otherwise, test it with just one stick of RAM. If it functions, check if it works across all slots. Make sure it isn’t tied to the motherboard or CPU. If that single stick works everywhere, proceed adding more RAM one at a time. Also, identify the exact RAM type (like 3200MHz, 3600MHz, etc.) and whether XMP is enabled.
If removing the protection isn't possible in Diskpart, a likely cause is a failing drive. SSDs safeguard themselves against imminent failure to preserve data access chances. A file system error on a brand-new drive signals serious concern. Use Command Prompt and type "diskpart". In diskpart, execute "list disk" to identify the SSD. If multiple disks exist, use "sel disk x" with the correct number. For disk 1, run "sel disk 1". Then issue "attributes disk clear readonly" to verify the write protection status.
I accidentally installed the RAM before turning off the machine, and I was extremely tired at 8 a.m. The computer shut down normally, but then it kept restarting briefly before resuming. This happens every time I power it on—just need to press the power button again. It’s the 3200Mhz RAM model.
This suggests your SSD might be defective. You may want to consider returning it for replacement. It appears to be a Samsung 970 Evo 1TB model.
