With a new computer that I have just been using for a couple of weeks, today Windows gave me a BSOD with the error messages "Driver_State_Power_Failure." The error code is 0x0000009f. Before I made this thread, I looked online to see what I should do about it. I checked the error with the...

Thanks for the tip. I tried AOMEI Partition Assistant and it worked instantly to make the 4th primary partition on my USB stick. I wonder why Windows 10 kept failing at doing that. At least my USB problem is solved now though, so thank you.

My GPU is a 2080. Yes, I did put the paste guard for AM5 over my CPU, before I applied the thermal paste. I am using the mounting bars for AM5 that came in the D15 G2 box, set onto the -7mm offset holes. When I applied the thermal paste, I tried to follow the Noctua instructions, and put one...

I have the standard version of D15 G2, set onto the -7mm offset holes on the mounting bars for AM5. I used the whole tube of the Noctua thermal paste that came with my D15 G2. As for temperatures under load: I don't know that yet. I didn't want to game before I get my fans straightened out...

I am using Windows 10 Disk Management to try to create 4 different primary partitions on a USB drive. It always lets me create the first three partitions. But then when I go to create the fourth primary partition, by creating a new simple volume in the exact same way as I did the first three...

My case fans are 6 140mms placed in their stock configuration. That being: 3 Intakes seated vertically on the front of the case 2 fans seated horizontally, above the PSU, and below the graphics card area. 1 Rear Exhaust, seated vertically at the back of the case, in the same orientation as...

I built a new computer over the last week or so. I am using an Antec Flux Pro case with both of the side panels currently removed, and all 6 of the stock fans are active. I'm using a Noctua D15 G2 CPU cooler on an AMD 9800X3D CPU, and both of the CPU fans are active on the heatsink. Over the...

Thanks for the feedback, Paperdock Unfortunately, I don't have any spare coaxial cables laying around. As for the optical output connections and signal type, I have no clue about that stuff. I don't know what the answer is. I didn't set my Realtek to 5.1 or 7.1 or anything like that...

Today I ran a stopwatch to test how long it takes my system to boot into Windows. In normal mode, it takes 5 minutes and 19 seconds before I am fully loaded into Windows and ready to surf the internet. To pass the logon screen of Windows take about 3 minutes, but then more stuff is still...

The thing is, I had the exact same uber-slow boot times before moving the hard drive into the new computer. So that's why I think that this particular problem isn't caused by the move to new hardware. I didn't test the boot time in safe mode, but I will try that tomorrow. I did install all...

I just booted up my new AsRock 870E Nova motherboard today. And I noticed that the integrated RealTek audio on it is absolute garbage for me. Before making this thread, I already have installed all of the latest motherboard and RealTek drivers from the AsRock website. I ran an optical cable...

I just transplanted my old HDD into my new computer. I've been using that HDD since probably 2016 or so. It's a WD Black. On that HDD, I have recently ran every possible hardware diagnostic test, with various different software products, that I could find for free, and it always passes all of...

I took your advice, and I did not run Sysprep, and I just installed my old HDD into my new computer, and then it booted up with zero issues. So that is great news! Hooray! I'm very happy about that. Thanks a lot for your help, I really appreciate it. It still takes forever to boot though...

Thanks for the advice. I have indeed made a backup.

I am going to move my HDD, which is my main system drive, into a new computer. I am running Windows 10. I want to keep everything intact, and not do a clean installation. Before making this thread, I have researched how to do this. Most advice on the internet seems to say that I should run...
