I'm facing problems with my PC. It often goes black and doesn't respond while playing games. Updates cause it to fail to boot and the disk isn't found during startup. Games run poorly, usually around 60-80 FPS for Counter-Strike on low settings. My system was built by a Norwegian manufacturer. Here are the details:

Specs:
- Corsair Carbide 275R Midi Tower Sort Vifter
- ATX, 120mm front & bak
- 2x USB 3.0
- Tempered glass, Corsair RM850x V3 850W ATX 12V v2-4
- 80 Plus Gold, semi-modular
- 6+2-pin PCIe

PC Parts:
- AMD Ryzen 5 2600, 6-core, 12 threads, 3.9GHz, 19MB cache, 65W
- Cooler included
- Intel 10th Gen Core i7 (AMD Ryzen equivalent)
- ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING motherboard
- DDR4 memory, M.2 slots, PCIe x16
- GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, OC 8G, 256GB
- Kingston A1000 480GB M.2 SSD

Performance:
- Low-end gaming frames around 60-80 FPS
- Needs better cooling and possibly a more powerful CPU

Need advice on fixing the boot issues, improving performance, or checking hardware compatibility. Let me know what steps to try next.

Consider the Norwegians' quirks. Have you looked inside the motherboard tray for missing salmon? Laugh it off. Begin by reviewing temperatures. Set up HWinfo64 and switch to sensors-only mode (prompt will appear). Execute Cinebench R23 and monitor maximum CPU heat. Once ready, launch CS and verify GPU readings. If not yet done, attempt a fresh Windows install. Use the media creation utility at the provided link. Ensure you have an 8GB or larger USB stick. After installation, boot from the drive and proceed with the setup. Additional guidance: https://www.howtogeek.com/874846/how-to-...~:text=Key Takeaways,an 8GB or larger drive.

Thanks for the confirmation. After checking carefully, there are no salmon in my motherboard. I’ve just installed HWinfo64 and Cinebench R23, and I’m about to run the test.

Everything seems fine. Did you reinstall the PC after receiving it? How are your GPU temperatures and clock speeds during gameplay? Another recommendation is to turn off Asus Armoury Crate in BIOS. Once disabled, you can remove it entirely using the official uninstaller: https://www.asus.com/supportonly/armoury crate/helpdesk_download/. After removing Asus Armoury Crate or reinstalling Windows, look for new chipset drivers here: https://www.amd.com/en/support/downloads.../b450.html

We tried reinstalling Windows, but the booting problem remains. Can you confirm if the issue might be related to RAM or the motherboard?
