I hope you're all enjoying your weekend🍺😎, I had this gaming PC come in as it would randomly reboot in Windows whilst gaming 🤔

The spec is an I9 11900kf cpu, 64gb 3600mhz ddr4 and an rtx4090.

The customer tried a reinstall but no change. First thing I check is the memory, ran a full test, passed with no errors, I then ran Windows up on my usb bootable drive to rule out their ssd and the storage controller, ran a cpu stress test and within a minute the PC rebooted, we're getting somewhere now😎

I upgraded the bios to the latest version which was still running the original from 2021 to update the cpu microcode, the PC would still reboot after a stress test 🤦‍♂️

Back to the bios to switch off XMP and manually set the ram clock speed back to it's bios default settings of 2133mhz, from here another stress test was ran on the cpu and gpu and it stayed on for over 2 hours 🥳, it's the memory controller failing on the cpu, if I set the clock speed back to 3600mhz it would reboot, bring it back to 3200mhz it was stable.

Swapped out the cpu with a new replacement, enabled XMP and ran another stress test, stayed on for another hour with no reboots🥳

Job done🍺👍

I hope you're all enjoying your weekend🍺 A customer wanted to upgrade his original 2011 Windows 7 desktop PC to a more modern Windows 11 PC preserving all his apps and data.

As the PC is used mainly for office, Web browsing and emails, I went with the below spec.

Asus Prime B760m motherboard
Intel I3 14100 cpu
16gb 3200mhz ddr4 memory
Crucial 500gb ssd
ATX midi case with a DVD bay (The customer wanted a DVD drive installed)
Be Quiet 550w psu
Be Quiet cpu cooler
Wifi Card

There's a lot of prep work to prepare the Windows upgrades as it all has to be done manually.

Firstly the original hard drive is cloned and removed just incase😬, the cloned drive is then fitted to the original PC, from here it is upgraded to Windows 8, 8.1 and then 10. Missing any versions, the upgrade will not keep the apps and data👍

All upgrades to 10 were successful 👌, from here the drive is prepared for Windows 11, the file system is converted to GPT from MBR and also configured to boot into safe mode on the next boot to allow Windows to update the Sata IDE driver to Sata AHCI for the new motherboard👍

Once the new PC was built, it POSTED first time😎, the bios was updated to the latest version and my cloned drive temporarily fitted for the next phase. The PC booted into safe mode in UEFI mode with secure boot and TPM 2.0 enabled🥳. From here safe mode boot is switched off and the PC rebooted perfectly to desktop now using the AHCI driver👌.

I then cloned this drive to the new M2 Crucial 500gb ssd, removing my sata cloned drive, again the PC booted perfectly to desktop, lastly from here, the upgrade to 11, all went through with no problems, all the driver and Windows updates applied, Google chrome updated to the latest version and office 2007 was upgraded to office 2021, keeping all the outlook data and email accounts intact 😎

I installed the new PC for the customer who was extremely happy with it, along with all the work undertaken to achieve what he wanted😁

Job done🍺

I hope you're all enjoying your weekend🍻.. I have had a busy weekend building 2 PCs for a local digital creative company.

Both PCs consisted of an RGB PC case with MSI X870E motherboards running the Ryzen 9 9900x CPU with 64gb 6400mhz memory. One build also had a Nvidia RTX5080 graphics card with a MSI PSU. Both had RGB 360mm AIO coolers😎

The hard drives were removed from their original PCs along with their 10G network cards, the RTX3090 was removed from the other PC.

Once built, both PCs POSTED on first boot🥳, the bios was updated to the latest version and booted perfectly to Windows, all the drivers were updated and the RGB software installed. Both passed a stress test too💪

The first PC was built yesterday afternoon and the other today, they've been collected and already installed back at the office 😎

Job done🍺

Happy New Year to you all🥂

I had one of my customer's come to me for a new PC, to be used for music production🎶
The criteria was it needed to run as quiet as possible and also run Cubase with ease. After some research I came up with the below spec.

Be Quiet Silent Base 802 case with interchangeable panels
Ryzen 7 7700x CPU
Crucial 64GB DDR5 6000MHZ memory
Be Quiet 360mm AIO Pure Loop 3
MSI X870E Tomahawk Motherboard
Crucial 2TB & 4TB SSD
RTX5060 Graphics card
Additional PCIE USB card

Once built, the bios was updated to the latest version, the thermals were tested with different fan curves to optimise the maximum temperature from the CPU with the fan speeds. The CPU barely hits 80c under full load with the fans running at 70% speed👌

The 2TB SSD was cloned from the original PC and the music database SSD was also installed resuming drive letter D. All drivers were updated.

I installed the PC for the customer, he's really pleased with the performance and how quiet the PC runs😎... Job done🍺
