[MEGATHREAD] Personal Computer - Updated builds thanks to Logical Increments

[matthewbim11]

Well stuff guys, every 10 mins I keep getting a kernal power error. I used AMD catylast to install a bunch of drivers, it scanned my system.

Temps on mono, CPU and GPU haven't risen above 60c.
I read that it could be a faulty PSU, so I'm gonna stop fiddling bwith it for now.

So I booted into safe mode with base video drivers, and I haven't gotten a crash. Every now and then, while not in safe mode, the screen will flicker black and then come back saying windows recovered from video driver failure.

AMD catalyst says its the most recent driver.
Its a XFX R9 290, non black editon.

Rollback your driver and see if it is fixed

I did that in safe mode and then reran catylsyt install. It did its thing and then, after leaving bf3 installing, I got this blue screen. This is the first actual error message I've gotten without digging

I searched this, but its just telling me "drivers lol, get latest".
This is the latest driver, and games won't work with the driver that came with the gpu, I already tried with Minecraft and l4d2.

OK, this is pissing me right the forget off. The driver is back in 14.0 ice age and its still giving me stuff. Every time I try to get the driver from xfx, the computer kills itself right before I can hit download.

Try with a second PC and use a flash drive or a CD or a DVD or a Blu Ray or an external HDD or an internal HDD or a floppy disk drive or a magnetic disk or a magnetic tape to pass it over.

The latest GPU driver is installed and there is no longer a rollback option, its greyed out.

It was doing fine on the desktop, I opened Minecraft to see if it would run this time, computer killed itself mid launch.

I was dinking around on the desktop and it killed itself, it doesn't seem to be related to any specific action.

Uninstalled video driver and reran catylst in as admin because I read that it had problems extracting that .sys file or whatever.
That didn't work, reran Minecraft and computer killed itself before I could spawn.

I saw online an extensive tutorial on fixing the specific .sys file error, but the computer won't stay alive long enough for me to do it. Also, the program it linked lead to an expired domain.

Got gpu and psu in. Computer starts. Great. Only problem is that the keyboard and mouse dont work. The mouse and keyboard are lit, so theyre on, but they wont do anything. I cant access bios either.

[matthewbim11]

Are they plugged into the back of the motherboard?

[hillkill]

Yeah lmao. Theyre ps2

[matthewbim11]

Huh, I've only seen problems with USB in the BIOS. Had they been working fine in the past?

[hillkill]

Yeah. Im stuck at the screen where it displays the time, and you click and log in.

[matthewbim11]

All you replaced is the GPU and PSU?

That looks like the most useless bluescreen I've ever seen in my life. Is that Windows 8?

Yep.

[hillkill]

Yep.

[matthewbim11]

Is that Windows 8?

8.1

Yep.

Well, there shouldn't be an issue as far as I know. The rear I/O is powered through the MOBO, and your system runs fine so we know that's working. A few things I can see is a driver issue for some odd reason, or faulty hardware.
