Custom Gaming PC not running as expected

Any update Anderslaw?

Is the USB flash drive formatted using FAT32 or NTFS? You need to make sure the USB flash drive is formatted to the correct file system otherwise the MSI motherboard won’t be able to read the USB flash drive contents. It should be formatted using FAT32.

USB flash drive is formatted as FAT32, still wasn’t detected, not too sure why. Just tried reseating RAM just in case that was the issue and PC is running same as before.

Have you tried using a different flash drive?

Thanks for all your help guys, I did some troubleshooting with my friend this weekend and I’ve replaced my RAM and found out that my GPU was in my secondary PCIe slot, which although runs at 16x by default, drops to 2x when a PCI slot is being used (which it is, by my network adapter). Since these changes, my fps is significantly increased as you could imagine

Glad you got it sorted and thank you for posting the solution so that the info may be of help to others
