The Windows update caused a brick in my PC, and the motherboard shows a 0d code.
The Windows update caused a brick in my PC, and the motherboard shows a 0d code.
I assembled my new computer two days ago, and everything seemed to be working perfectly. That’s why I decided to restart it right now. When I tried to restart, Windows asked me to update and then restart again, and I thought, “Alright, fine, I’m restarting it anyway, better update.” Now it doesn’t even start, and I’m trying to figure out why. All I know is that my mobile device keeps displaying code 0d, which I’ve learned might be related to my RAM. I’m not an expert (though I pretend otherwise), so I reached out to the forums, hoping someone might have more insight. Thank you ahead of time for your help. Here’s the build summary: CPU – Ryzen 7 2700X cooler; GPU – Corsair H100i v2; RAM – G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB at 3200MHz; MMO – ASUS ROG Crosshair VII; SSD – Samsung 960 EVO (for OS and apps); HDD – WD Black 2TB (for games and extra storage); PSU – Corsair RM750X; OS – Windows 10 Home 64-bit.
If your RAM is a 2x8GB package, you might test one stick at a time and see if it boots. If it doesn’t, swap them and check again. Sometimes a faulty stick can fail during the update process.
Here are some tips to prevent future problems:
1. Avoid auto-updates for Windows. Install updates yourself after checking for any reported issues.
2. Keep using Windows 7 for as long as possible. This will reduce problems and give you a better OS experience while keeping your privacy intact (just steer clear of updates that were added after Windows 10).
Unhelpful suggestions were given. Checking the forum shows many users faced issues with Windows 7. His trouble seems hardware-related, not software. The motherboard BIOS indicates this. The defective RAM likely caused the Windows failure, so a clean installation is recommended. He might try a System Restore to recover before the update, but it’s uncertain if that fix worked, making a fresh install safer.
