Updated BIOS, now everything crashes...

[Wolfano_666]

Hi!

I encountered a new problem with my PC, and I’m sad again…

Last time I had problems with some games crashing, changing two things in the BIOS fixed everything. Or so I thought .
Turns out my ASUS motherboard was designed to fry its own CPU.

Recently, I tried using Handbrake, and it started again… Then, in HWInfo, I saw my CPU simply cooking.

Long story short, I ended up updating the BIOS from version 1002 to 1813.

Now everything crashes. My PC just restarted three times right in front of me for no reason. Writing this is a real pain, as Opera keeps restarting from time to time. Windows itself seems to be the most affected—opening a simple folder is a real struggle. When it doesn’t crash, that is.

Welp, I think I messed up again… Please help…

Last time, I was asked for:

MiniDump files (linked)

Sorry but it is not for helpers to go off and start downloading things, quickest way to get yourself infected.

1. Copy any dmp files from C:\Windows\Minidump onto the desktop.
2. Select all of them, right-click on one, and click on Send To> New Compressed (zipped) Folder.
3. Upload the zip folder using the Attach button, bottom left of the dialogue input box

What is the brand and model name or number of the PSU.
Power Profile
Active power scheme: [COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]Optimal performance

Change the Windows Power Plan to Balanced, Optimal, Ultra and High Performance are a form of overclocking that is known to cause stability and overheating issues, the setting should only be used for gaming type notebooks that have a discrete GPU that needs the extra power.

Noticed that you have knocked the OC off the RAM, while that is good purchasing 6000MTs RAM to pair with a CPU that can only handle up to 5600MTs was not wise.

One of your storage devices looks to have issues;

Hi! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Oh, I’m sorry for the links, I didn’t think about that.

I actually feel pretty dumb right now—I changed a few things in the BIOS regarding performance, and the stupid mistake I made with the RAM, on top of fixing a bunch of Windows files… and tada! It works.

I just learned out one of my external hard drives has some issues, but I can fix that.

Sorry for the time loss, but your help actually made a big difference! I spent like 3 hours trying everything before finally deciding to ask for help, and the solution was so simple..

Thank you, you’re the best!
