Yeah, running the B550 and the 5800X that I got and it all worked out of the box without any need for a BIOS update, don't think I'm going to be overly keen on flashing a BIOS ever again following this.

PC now back up and running, but was was completely unable to reinstall either Windows or Linux on the old Motherboard even after clearing CMOS and unplugging all devices apart from main SSD, seems like it may have been a failed BIOS update as was unable to flash to my previous (known good) BIOS...

Managed to grab an external enclosure from Sabrent for an NVMe SSD off Amazon, so thinking once I'm back home I'll look into transferring important data to an external drive and then formatting the SSD from my laptop. Friend of mine from work suggested trying a Ubuntu install first before...

Not sure, probably not as I've never really tinkered with bios before today. It's also 1230am and I'm tired and frustrated so I'm done for now

My PC appears to be able to POST, no beep codes, it tries to boot to Windows, but it tells me it needs to repair the installation of Windows 32 GB, got a 2GB stick but no other USB drives

Yes, Windows doesn't boot, so I'm entering BIOS and selecting the bootable USB from the boot menu in there, though like I said, no luck in getting to a point where I can even begin selecting my options for W10 install

Thanks for this, but as stated in previous posts, I'm unable to even get to the point where a clean install can be done, I have bootable USB but I am not able to even get any Windows installation screens or prompts. I'm starting to think I need to remove my nvme drive, stick it an external...

I can't get anywhere near beginning to remove all partitions, I have a bootable USB but I'm completely unable to even begin trying a reinstall or repair. It's either orange and white stripes or blank blue screen after a black screen with a blue Windows Logo I have yet to try removing the boot...

I've never removed cooler on CPU since I got it, and I have yet to install the new CPU. I used the Microsoft tool to begin with, it didn't work, as per my original post: That's when I tried simply downloading the ISO to the hard drive of my laptop and using Rufus to make the USB bootable, but...

Yes, it is originally a PC Specialist System, Current Specs below Case - CoolerMaster MasterCase H500 Gaming Case / CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 3600 / Motherboard - ASUS TUF X470-PLUS Gaming / RAM - 32GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 3200MHz / GPU - MSI GeForce RTX 2070 Super 8 GB Gaming X / Storage - 1TB...

Wondering if anyone might be able to help - I have updated my ASUS X470-PLUS TUF Gaming to the latest BIOS version (v6024 from v5216) - after successfully booting into Windows for the first time after the update, I noticed MSI Afterburner hadn't kicked in with my desired profile (MSI RTX 2070...

Hi PCS forums, so I got my PC from PCS back in August, and for the most part it's been fantastic, however over the past 4 or so days, I've noticed that my PC has restarted after I've been away from it for a period of time, the first I assumed to have been Windows updates, but looking back at...

Auto pilot mode has happened more than a few times, generally when driving, but I've also gone auto-pilot whilst cycling to work, going to my old office which is a mile further down the road from my current office, now admittedly it was in the first few weeks of me starting in the new office and...

Have you ever been in a situation where you've done something and then realised a few moments later that you're a total idiot? Was it tech related? I was in that situation just the other day, I got my lovely brand new PC from PCSpecialist (thank you, PCS!) and had to connect it all up and...

Over the past few weeks, I've been looking into breaking into PC Gaming for the first time, and I've been seeking advice on this forum and elsewhere regarding builds. I have a build in mind, and as part of it, I've decided to go for a GTX1660Ti as my GPU, nothing spectacular, I know. Obviously...
