Hello, I recently assembled my new PC with these specifications: Gigabyte B650 Gaming AX X, BIOS version FB, Ryzen 7 7800X3D, Gigabyte Gaming OC RTX 4090, 1000e power supply (1000W), Corsair Vengeance 16x2 DDR5 5600MHz clocked at 5200MHz CL36, and Windows 11 Home (64-bit). The issue started when I was playing Fortnite and my PC would crash back into the BIOS repeatedly. Initially, I ignored it until it kept happening. In the Event Viewer I found an error: Nvidia OpenGL Driver DrvSetContezt failed with a non-deterministic status (pid = 10300, cncmd.exe). I checked for conflicts between my AMD GPU and the dedicated GPU, but removing the AMD one caused further problems, forcing a Windows recovery. Reinstalling the AMD drivers worked for two hours before the problem resumed. I then removed the Nvidia drivers, which worsened the situation—Windows wouldn’t boot and kept restarting. A system restore attempt failed because critical System 32 files couldn’t be recovered. Now I’m stuck: the drive isn’t recognized by BIOS, and installing Windows on another drive reproduces the same issues as soon as I start. I’m unsure what to do next and hope someone can help me understand what’s going on. Thanks for any advice you can offer.

Your SSD isn't included in the system specifications. Could it be damaged? The best way to check is by installing it in another device.

I've attempted to set up Windows on a reliable SSD, but the problem persists even after only part of the installation completes. It seems unrelated to the drive itself, though the original drive is still recognized. I've run chkdsk and found no errors. The drives in question are: WD Blue 500GB 2.5in SATA SSD (MBD) and Corsair P5 Plus PCIE Gen 4 Nvme Drive.

It seems unusual that a Windows installation won<|pad|>. This likely points to the main problem. Start by checking—if you take the 4090 out and connect the motherboard video (your CPU should have an iGPU)—can you finish the installation completely?

I attempted to launch the 4090 and then the iGPU using both motherboard settings and HMDI connection, but neither worked. @Sawa Takahashi

I believe it's time to perform some basic troubleshooting. Many components appear to be malfunctioning. Begin by unplugging and reconnecting all cables and connectors on your computer, ensuring they are correctly routed. If this doesn't resolve the issue, remove your cooler and CPU to inspect for bent or missing pins in the socket. Reinstall the CPU, verifying it is securely placed. Add the cooler and confirm proper pressure. If the problem persists, try removing and reinserting your RAM modules. Repeat this process for SSDs and drives. If these steps don't help, install your CPU in a stable system and test for issues, then repeat with RAM, GPU, PSU, and storage devices individually. If all else fails, test your motherboard with various components to pinpoint the fault. Good luck!

I managed to isolate parts of my friend's issue to a motherboard problem and submitted an RMA. Thanks for the guidance. I'll share a final update once it's confirmed whether it was the motherboard or other components. All others seem stable now.
