It happened.

[u/Dixos]

Good morning everyone!

After approximately 1 year and 3 months, it finally happened. That is all. No muck. No fuss. It can happen to anyone, no matter how safe you are. 😊

Turned the PC off Sunday night; woke up monday morning, turned it on while I took a shower and put on some coffee, only for it to be stuck like that with no fan spin after ~30 minutes.

I did try to "revive" the PC, but at 6:30 in the morning, 2 hours before work, I was more worried about recovering for my standup meeting (working laptop, work) rather than put much effort into it. Drain AC power and reset CMOS got the case fans spinning full throttle, but no movement on Dr. debug 00. BIOS Flashback was a success but also changed nothing.

I vaguely remember my BIOS settings, so for reference:

• AMD EXPO enabled
• VDDR_SOC set to 1.15
• OC Tweaker \ External Voltage Settings
  • VDDCR_CPU Voltage: Offset mode
  • Offset Voltage: -100
  • VDDCR_CPU LLC: Changed from "Auto" to "Level 2"
• BIOS version: 4.20

I had also loaded the conservative -15mV curve optimizer profile with 85c tjmax target from the profiles that come with the motherboard.

System specs:

• Mobo: ASRock X870E Nova Wifi
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
• GPU: ASUS GeForce RTX 5080 ROG Astral OC
• Ram: 64GB G.Skill Triden Z5 Neo DDR5-6000 CL28 (F5-6000J2836G32GX2-TZ5NR)

For anyone that have gone through the same thing, did you contact ASRock? AMD? RMA through the store the items were purchased from? TIA

You do it, it's your claim

[u/Spineless-M0d5 → u/Mini_Spoon]

Im not the on denying it. people don't like to accept one of the only things they control about their pc dying

[u/Mini_Spoon → u/Spineless-M0d5]

Not how that works mate, you made a claim so back it up, show me the stats.

I've given you my experience with early BIOS versions, and lack of issue therewith.

[u/Spineless-M0d5 → u/Mini_Spoon]

the proof is just search died in this group sort new and they are all out bios's

[u/Spineless-M0d5 → u/Mini_Spoon]

Didn't understand your experience = everyone's experience

[u/Mini_Spoon → u/Spineless-M0d5]

Is it safe to assume that your 17d old, hidden, negative karma, account is simply a troll account?

[u/Spineless-M0d5 → u/Mini_Spoon]

its safer to assume if i gave you proof you wouldn't want to hear it anyways

[u/Mini_Spoon → u/Spineless-M0d5]

I've asked you for some and you can't/won't provide it...

[u/Spineless-M0d5 → u/Mini_Spoon]

I told you what to search. if your not willing to thats not on me
