issue with 1660s

[MrAstronautBob]

When I got a new motherboard, I did that jumper thing to reset CMOS settings, and I also tried two different batteries (used) without any result. Tomorrow, I will get a new one.
Did you ever run the clean boot and what were the results?

I did it for the first time yesterday, but nothing happened.

Thank you for your time @xrobwx71
You can try NvidiaProfileInspector. Once unzipped, right click it and run as administrator. Scroll down to the power section and make changes. Click in the top right Apply changes. Test.

I’m checking out this program right now, but I need to read more about it. I was able to set “adaptive mode” while idle and run any app/game with “prefer maximum performance”. But whenever I close app/ game, the same error appears. Maybe something clashes when power jumps up on the GPU?

In this prompt type wmic os get installdate and hit Enter.

Copy/Paste the output in your next post, please.

C:\Windows\system32>wmic os get installdate

InstallDate

20191207082304.000000+060

I formatted both disks and installed fresh Win10

Yet the install date is 2019?

Yet the install date is 2019?

Yes, seems like it.

I also tried two different batteries (used) without any result. Tomorrow, I will get a new one.

And the results are plus when you are in BIOS what are the Date and Time

Windows is showing an Install date of 2019

I formatted both disks and installed fresh Win10 (now the system disk has 65 GB of free space).

Which should be showing 2023

The point being: If we don’t have accurate information we cannot be accurate in helping you.

It’s not about pointing a finger, it’s about achieving the best possible outcome for you. We can’t accomplish this if we don’t have accurate info.

[MrAstronautBob]

And the results are plus when you are in BIOS what are the Date and Time

It has shown 2009, but only at the first boot after a battery change.

@Rustys @xrobwx71

So should I do another format, then?

[xrobwx71]

Describe what you do, step by step when you format and clean install please.

[Rustys]

when you go back into the BIOS what do that date and time show now?

Since the battery change the date and time need to be verified that the information is still correct.

If it does not show proper data and time that must be corrected otherwise the system will have issues.

[MrAstronautBob]

when you go back into the BIOS what do that date and time show now?

Date and time are correct. BIOS is working fine.
Describe what you do, step by step when you format and clean install please.

I can’t remember what I exactly did, so I made another format today.

Output from command prompt:
InstallDate
20230815202955.000000+120

Give us another Speccy please.

[MrAstronautBob]

Give us another Speccy please.

Ok, it seems we are finally on the same page with the reinstallation of Windows.

How is your PC running now after the re-install?

[MrAstronautBob]

How is your PC running now after the re-install?

Smooth, but basically same as before. Unfortunately, the problem still appears.

[xrobwx71]

Reading through the whole thread, I am out of ideas. After all the changes, applied suggestions, motherboard switch, re-installation, what is the problem that still appears?

One thing I noticed is, you still have not addressed the OS drive free space issue.

Thanks @Rustys for the reminder.

Couple of observations;

The system drivers were not correctly installed.

The RAM is being OCd past what the CPU can handle.

The MB is reporting high temperatures.

Oh and the PSU is garbage btw.
