You need to refresh the BIOS and install new drivers!
Update your profile by using the flasher, but it won’t recognize the drive you’ve connected. It’s plugged into the top left slot of your motherboard. You need to resolve these issues with your drivers due to the frequent boot failures, crashes, freezing screens, and erratic alt-tab behavior.

The BIOS update isn’t required for driver installation. Confirm the USB drive uses FAT32 or NTFS format. Try executing "sfc /scannow" in Windows to locate and fix any missing or damaged system files.
I need to do this since otherwise I won’t be able to update my drivers. The driver updates require a proper restart to install, but they keep failing to boot Windows because the BIOS needs flashing and updating, which is now broken after discovering the flash isn’t detected in flash mode. Regarding the other two points, the system is formatted in fat32, and I haven’t run a scan yet—I’ll try that now.
I wonder if you set up HWINFO and monitored temperatures. Did you execute MemTest86 to evaluate RAM health? It would be interesting to review the results, especially given AMD's ongoing challenges with memory consistency. A BIOS upgrade might offer some improvement.
I'm not very familiar with software, so I don't understand much about Hwinfo. But I know my computer temperatures stay low most of the time and my RAM isn't used heavily either from Task Manager. It seems everything is running smoothly. If you're curious, I can help with other questions.
Absolutely! No problem at all, right? HWInfo is an excellent resource for understanding everything about your machine. After installation or opening it, you can adjust the dropdown to show only sensors. You’ll find many irrelevant details—like power settings for overclocking or SSD activation times—but what matters is spotting any devices with a thermometer bulb next to them. These represent temperature readings. You’ll also see current, low, and high values. Generally, for typical desktop setups, I don’t expect temperatures above 80 degrees on anything except the GPU under regular use. If you’re pushing your system hard, 90s are normal. Let me know if you notice temps in the 90s or higher while gaming. Instead of immediately diving into memory tests, try running a single 16GB RAM module to see if problems persist. If not, add the paired stick and check again. Since all four sticks are identical, it’s safe, but it’s still worth verifying. Regarding MemTest86, it’s more complex, so Microsoft provides its own version in Windows. If you don’t see unusually high temperatures and keep experiencing crashes after RAM tweaks, press the Windows key + R to open Run, then type “mdsched” and confirm if a restart is needed to check for issues. This process can be time-consuming, especially with four 16GB sticks, so schedule it when you’re not using the computer much. From my experience, most odd behavior usually points to RAM, making this the first area to investigate.
