System failure (very puzzled), unable to run Starfield.
System failure (very puzzled), unable to run Starfield.
Hey, I recently upgraded my cpu, motherboard, and ram. My parts list is now as follows: cpu: 7800x3d gpu: 3070 motherboard: MSI Pro B650M-A Wifi ram: Corsair vengeance 6000 ddr5 psu: 850w gigabyte when I changed everything over I also just reset everything and installed windows 11 (I was running windows 10) everything was working fine for about a week and then I started to get some weird crashes a couple days ago. What happens is my pc will randomly become incredibly stuttery, to the point I can barely move my mouse cursor. initially it would do this for a while and then fix itself. Then I started having to restart my pc when this would happen. I reset my bios, did a cmos clear. I also made sure xmp was off. It was still happening. But it was didn’t happen too often and before I could just boot back in so I just gave up trying to fix it - I reinstalled all my drivers, chipset, and motherboard drivers and did a bios flash. However it has gotten much much worse. Now when I am booting the motherboard loading screen will even stutter very badly, and then load forever and never actually boot to windows, or it will just boot loop. when I do get to windows it will work for about 5 minutes before crashing again (weird thing is everything will open but chrome will just not). Every time I crash the ram LED comes on for a very brief moment. I can’t get into windows king enough to try install new drivers or try problem solve. So then I tried to completely reset windows, but when I go to the windows troubleshoot and try to do it, it’ll get about 50% through, start to stutter and then crash like every other time. So it won’t even let me reset windows. I even got into windows before launched a game and it ran fine for 5 minutes before crashing again and all the same stuttering and then a ram light. I tried re seating everything in my pc, twice. Still having the same issues. Please please please help me get this fixed quickly, I need to play starfield (Also I had to type this out on my phone as my ox is not working so soz if it’s a bit Jank) feel free to ask any other questions if I missed anything. thanks a bunch.
I haven't managed to verify anything since I can't reinstall Windows due to frequent crashes during the process.
It looks like a GPU issue might be the cause. You could verify if other cards are connected and test with just one RAM stick using single-channel mode. Check the port on your graphics card or remove the GPU to see if the problem persists. I'm here for you, just hoping it works out. Good luck!
Yes, it can work with just one RAM stick or the other. You can run memtest86 to verify your RAM.
I believe the issue isn't the GPU, as I've used it for a while without problems. The problem seems to be related to the rambling noise, which I'm not sure what might cause. I plan to test it in single-channel mode, but I don't have any other DDR5 RAM available for comparison. Appreciate your assistance!
I’ll test one stick first, then consider the other. I’m not sure what Memtest86 is or how to install it—do you have any idea where to find it? Also, it’s not clear if you want to use the command prompt for this.
I've used one stick and still experienced stuttering during loading. I can't access Windows at all. Checking memtest didn't help either—I can only open it for about five minutes before closing. Thanks again.
Additionally, the automatic fix either stops working or keeps loading indefinitely. I haven’t managed to return to Windows for a while now.
