Need help, need complete PC (not inc. O/S) for max £600....

Thank you Tamzzy, no orbitalwalsh it was a Pro4.

Am just a bit put off by Asrock atm though.

Might sleep on it, cause right now i am leaning towards buying an Upgrade bundle (cause then i know i have a working cpu/mb/ram), if it's not those
that are the problem i could always use it for something/someone else.... dammit i really don't know what to do right now.

Just realised that OcUK are out of stock on the Ryzen 3's .....
 
the pro4 is actually a better board.
just out of curiosity, are you buying a whole new system to test the current hardware? :confused:
 
Well am certainly thinking about it as it was my idea for my friend to buy from here & me to build it for him,
instead of him buying a much worse system from the Jungle for more money.... Didn't ask anything for building it ofc
but they were very nice & bought me a lovely bottle of Brandy (it was working perfectly then!).

What is it they say, No good deed ever goes unpunished!

Or is it Time wounds all heels?
 
honestly, i'd probably just wait until you can get your hands on the computer, then slowly test it, before jumping in spending more money.
 
Thanks for that, i know i am probably going off half cocked but i don't have components that i can swap in right now.
Normally i have a fair bit of stuff lying around but not at the moment. Just got a HD 4870 atm & that's no use as it won't play newer games.

Will do as u suggest & sleep on it :) Thanks for your help & good night :) U too orbital !
 
Hi again, ran memtest86 3 times, got a failure on the 3rd pass Error 308400.
Took out one stick of ram, ran it again, got a freeze (not actual error), after about 1 hour.
Took that stick out & put in the other stick of ram, using another ram slot & got another freeze after about 45 mins, no error reported just a total freeze.
Put an AMD card in, which took ages due to freeze's while trying to get DDU to run in safe mode... With card finally in but no drivers
or anything installed i got the same sorts of freeze's, black screen crashes. Tried another brand new psu but get the same results.

Have been running CPUID HW & CoreTemp, all temps seem fine, can't see any indication of anything wrong in those programs
before these crashes/freeze's happen.

The only thing i have noticed is that settings in the BIOS do not get saved. However i was running everything on Auto anyway, incl. the memory.

Have just found out that it will freeze while in the BIOS as well, except that the page stays up, i just cannot go through any of the settings.
Temps were 25 for CPU & 21 for M/B.

Scratching my head here, only thing i can think to do is get another CPU/MB/RAM etc.

Anyone got any suggestions ?
