crashed with each of the 4 sticks in all of the slots. I had him remove all but 1 ram stick and move it between each ram slot if the machine crashes. Next day he lets me know that it is locking up again either on the desktop while idling or when playing games.
We install the NVME drive and install Windows and some games on it and it seems to be working so he takes it home. I tell him what was going on with the SSD so he decided to get a 1TB NVME drive. Now I am thinking the SSD is flaky so I grab my SSD and hook it up and machine fires up and works great. When it rebooted it was asking for a boot device again. Went into the BIOS and the SSD was selected as the first boot device but it wouldn't boot anymore.ĭid another clean Windows install and it locked up while it was doing the updates. Rebooted and it locked up again after a few minutes.ĭid a clean install of Windows on his SSD and it locked up as soon as setup was finished and when the machine restarted it was asking for boot device. Next day I get the password and hook his SSD back up and I log on and it locks up after a few minutes. Grabbed a spare SSD and did a fresh Windows 10 install and the machine was stable, ran Furmark for 15 or so minutes with no issues, ended up just letting it play some movies for a few hours before I hit the sack.
Hooked up a new psu and it fired right up, but it locked up on the logon screen after 5-10 minutes. When he dropped it off it wouldn't power on, reseated all the connections, still wouldn't power on.

My friends son's X399 system has become unstable a month or so ago and they brought it to me to see if I could get it working.
