That's a strange issue with your hardware!
Hello, I'm attempting to provide a clear update based on your situation. I've spent about five hours working on this issue, and English isn't my first language. My system runs Windows 11 with a custom setup, and I recently installed a fresh version via a USB drive. Despite initial stability and good temperatures during testing, the computer began crashing after logging in to Windows, eventually entering an automatic repair loop. I attempted a clean reinstall using a bootable USB, but it also failed to boot properly. After replacing the SSD, the problem persisted. Removing extra components didn't resolve it, and even without any drives on the USB, the system would fail to start, showing the ASUS logo before a black screen and reboot. I suspect there might be an issue with the motherboard or CPU. I'm seeking advice from others who can help diagnose what's wrong. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Thank you for your response. I tried resetting the CMOS and updating the latest UEFI version, but the issue persists. My assumption is there might be a faulty motherboard or CPU, so I’m cautious before purchasing a new one.
Intel offers a diagnostic tool for its processors, while I don't have information on AMD's equivalent.
Open Bios, choose the fans/temps display, view the readings, allow time for changes, check if the system restarts.
Good suggestion! I've been running for about 40 minutes. All readings—temperature, voltage, and frequency—remain stable. No need to reboot. UEFI is functioning properly. (No drive connected.) Temperatures rose from 47°C to 50°C. Frequency is set at the default 3800 Hz unless boost is enabled. RAM is operating at the standard 2666 MHz. It's quite unusual, especially if the motherboard or CPU had issues... Voltage readings: +12V, 12.268V, 5.060V, 3.3V, 3.408V.
I also think things are heating up because the crashes are happening more often. Start with the fundamentals: Inspect your fans inside the case to confirm they're spinning at the right speed. Look for any blockages that could block airflow. If it's watercooled, ensure the radiator isn't clogged with dust, pet hair, or debris. Verify the water flow is adequate through the system and that the radiator fans are operating properly. Check the base of your block to confirm the plastic film wasn’t left on—it can trap heat since plastic doesn’t conduct well. Consider using monitoring software to track temperatures during use; this log will highlight which parts are getting too hot. Understanding how many case fans you have and details like the model will help assess whether you need additional ones. This should give us a clearer picture of what’s causing the issue.
