Advice please on first time build

[subroutine]

Yes, I use DLSS in DCS for example but my 3080ti isn't handling it too well. I'm upgrading my whole system when Nvidia 5 series launch. Running VR at good image quality/frame rate is an expensive hobby.

Hi we went with this configuration but windows just keeps crashing, we’ve updated drivers on MSI and AmD and Nvidia - not sure where else to start? On windows 11

[Mary Jane]

Bios is v J.0

 

[hornetstinger]

Take one stick out. Does it crash?
If so remove that stick, fit the other? Does it crash?

If yes for both then not memory, it's something else. If it crashes with one specific stick then that stick is faulty.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Can you describe "crash" in more detail please, what do you mean by crash? E.g. Blue screen? Crash to Windows desktop? Black screen with audio until you hit restart?

Does it crash only when e.g. playing games, or at other times too?

Is EXPO enabled, or disabled?

Do you have any motherboard/RGB software installed?

 

[Mary Jane]

Is it worth trying windows 10 or are we thinking it’s hardware?

Bue screen random - can be ok for a while but crash when downloading occulus app for example. Sometimes crashes the moment you get into windows before even done anything?
Downloaded motherboard andrgb software and nvidia app. What is expo?

We have been also getting a blck screen but reinstalled windows and got back in but keep geting the blue screen at different times so wonder if windows 10 better

Doubt it's that. Make sure memory timings are correct. Then I'd try memory stick swap first.

Memory timings- not sure what you mean - do you mean in bios?

 

[hornetstinger]

Memory timings- not sure what you mean

In BIOS there are EXPO settings, once you set that it'll automatically set all timings correctly

Although in default mode, it should still be stable, it will just run in at a slower speed with slacker timings- so won't be as fast.

Try one stick at a time first, reseating each stick maybe not fully straight into the memory slot etc.

Check CPU temps as well.

Ok will have a look at sticks but temp has been all ok

 

[Mary Jane]

Expo offers me profile 1 or profile 2 - I picked profile1

 

[Mary Jane]

Got BLUE SCREEN BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO

 

[hornetstinger]

Quick google search shows bad HD.

Do you have another HD? Or try reseating the drive, maybe nvme not in straight.

 

[hornetstinger]

I'd be concentrating on memory/hard drive.

Reseat HD. If it still crashes
Try another HD, any working one willl do, 2.5" SATA or 3.5" SATA etc
If it still crashes on another drive
Then take out one stick
If it still crashes remove that stick fit the other stick
If it still crashes check CPU is seated properly, all power cables pushed in properly
Also could try removing GPU-, use integrated GPU or try another GPU.
Try another PSU if you have one.
If it still crashes after all that then something more serious or difficult

Wow new rig - wouldn’t think it could be so complicated - hoping something needs repositioning

 

[Mary Jane]

Thank you will let you know

Just fault finding technique, remove each component try another.

I think it's memory or HD issue.

Did you wear anti static strap?
