Random things happening to my pc on startup after flashing bios and a few other things

[Chadelz]

Hi all

So recently I made a thread about my ryzen 5600x overheating and got some help from this community. Long story short, I made a few changes to my pc which seemed to help with the overheating issue I had. Things I did;

Changed power plan to balanced - From high performance
Cleared up HDD space to ensure enough free space
Flashed bios to version that added support for 5000 processors and fixed vulnerability issues

Problem I am having now is sometimes I boot my pc and a random assortment of things are occurring. the most common one is once i put my password in and go to desktop, after a few seconds i just get a bsod and my pc restarts, I cant remember the exact error that the bsod shows but will take note next time. the most recent thing that happened is this morning after putting my password in, my pc went to the desktop and my screen started flashing black. I had no icons appear and had no taskbar or anything. I could open task manager which didn’t flicker along with the screen and i noticed that the windows error reporter process was popping up in the task manager - 2 processes of it and 1 went away and came back every so often

Im not really sure what to do to fix this, I don’t know if a clean install will help or if my bios being flashed has done something

Any advice will be appreciated

when these sort of weird things crop up, after a long stint trying to resolve an ongoing issue, and you always seem to simply be chasing your tail - for me it’s time to fresh install Windows.

if for no other reason than to say at least I am starting from a clean slate and it can’t be infections, or bad drivers, or corrupted system files etc.

I will give that a go, Hopefully that will fix my issues
