Question

issues with new gaming pc build

by Jul 29, 2018 9:31AM PDT

hi guys . I’ve build my first pc gamin here is the config :

I5 8500
Aorus b360 gaming WiFi
Corsair16 go
Cryorig m9i
Cruxial mx500
Barracuda 2tb
Gigabyte gtx 1080ti

Seasonic focus 650 gold
Fractal design r6
ASUs rogstrig xg35vq


It’s been amazing for a few days . Did some benchmarks everything in the green , run some stress test everything good ... until I start installing games . I can instal , I can play 5 min max graphismes ... but after that , crash on:

WOW: critical error : “error132 the instruction at xxxxxx referenced memories : the memories could not be read .”

Destiny 2 max graphismes ok for 5 min then crash again :”the execution of graphismes has detected a missing part or a fail “

Fortnite : could go into the game the jump from the bus and crash : “fatal error “.
As you understand I’m a bit frustrated as the computer cost me 2500£ with monitors etc .

What I did to try to find the probleme : reduce graphic to low on each games , still crashing even if the game hold longer , it does crash after 15 min instead of 3 .
Reinstall drivers gpu and made sure i had the latest version of it

Checked all temperatures during games and never reach higher than 60 degrés

Took the gpu out to make sur it was well plugged in , same with the rams same with the power supply .
ive run occt to see if theire was any trouble , and cpu ok stable
gpu ok stable
rams ok stable
psu the test run for 13 minutes with frequent frezze every 5-10 sec but it was planned to run for 20 min and it crashed at 13...

so then ive been adviced to use DDU to remove the drivers ive installed and reinstal them ,wich im on the process now but im anable to start my computer on safe mode ... looks like this part of windows is missing . ive installed windows 10 via an external hdd. so when i go to settings /update and security/recovery/ restart for advanced settings, then going on this blue screen then repare , settings and clic on the item that should propose me safe mode , windows ask me for my log in wich i do then theire is a loading session for 5 sec and windows tells me that it cannot repair my computer ...............

I’m running out of ideas I might think it’s the power supply wich is faulty and don’t give enough power ? What do you think guys I need you .

just saying that appart of that the computer is very fast and silent and cold . even in games where the fans accelerate a little bit but stay arround 50 degres everywhere .its weird to be able to play full power for 5 minute on any game but crash everytime .....

No Safe Mode?
by Forum moderator Jul 29, 2018 9:55AM PDT

Fix that. Sounds like a blown Windows at this point. Is there anything funky with your OS source? Sometimes folk get a crack pirate OS and troubles begin.

Then it's a blown install.
by r. proffitt Forum moderator Jul 29, 2018 11:23AM PDT

It's a new rig so shouldn't be any trouble to reinstall. As to install from HDD, I worry you used a non-standard install routine. I also don't know what you mean (exactly) by download from official website.

Here I use the Microsoft Media Creation kit to make either USB or DVD and when you wrote about a HDD, that's pretty odd and not a method I use or know about. Talk to those that told you to go that route.

Here is what I did

That link doesn't work.
by r. proffitt Forum moderator Jul 29, 2018 11:40AM PDT

Also an ISO would need to be put onto some media with an ISO burner. There is no machine yet I know of that can install from a .ISO file.

Somethings off with the install and the Safe Mode being broken is a clue too. Start over, use the usual bootable USB stick or DVD.

Well my computer is off now
by zhab31 Jul 29, 2018 11:46AM PDT

I show you the website on wich I’ve been to download the image on the external hard drive . I didn’t do it from my iOS . The link doesn’t work because there is a dot at the end . Put by accident. But just classic way . I’ve plugged a classic 1 To external drive on a different computer , went onto Microsoft website to download the image on the external hdd and plugged it on the new machine wich booted correctly installing windows 10 . I m pretty sure that’s what everyone on YouTube and forums told me to do . I don’t have any disc reader/writer on the new machine .

ISO

Install from disk.

Msft does show it as a supported method.

You need to mount the ISO.

Does it work?......beats me.

A dvd or usb install might be a good test.

Mount the ISO? Please share the link how to do that?
by r. proffitt Forum moderator Jul 29, 2018 5:05PM PDT

Also, all the folk I've seen use mount the ISO to install all come back with weird Windows issues. I'm calling "mount the ISO" to be a bum install method as it always seems to come back to haunt those that try that.

It's in the op's link.

It's under the heading of......additional methods of using the iso file to install windows.

Given their troubles
by r. proffitt Forum moderator Jul 30, 2018 12:02PM PDT

And how I've watched so many struggle with trying the "mount the ISO" install method you won't find me agreeing this is a good idea.

It failed so time to go with the more common media creation kit and let it make the install stick for us. No ISO is ever mentioned or used.

I see this at that link.
by r. proffitt Forum moderator Jul 29, 2018 12:29PM PDT

"To get started, you will first need to have a licence to install Windows 10. You can then download and run the media creation tool. For more information on how to use the tool, see the instructions below."

No ISO required, just use the tool and next time put it on some USB stick. HDD? Haven't read many do that. Or if it works.
