    Looking at three weeks, staff holidays causing a backlog. I don't mind waiting as long as they get it right.

    3 weeks?
    I think you would have been better off building yourself instead of saving $25. and going through all this B.S.

    Hindsight is a wonderful thing, @Kim100 made a choice but unfortunately it backfired :( If he had self built using the same parts he could have had the same trouble. This way ccl have to sort it not him, hes just got to sit and wait. :(

    I'm afraid I don't find building and fixing PCs fun or a challenge any longer, just a chore.

    @Kim100 twice and ccl cant fix it? i am sttill gonna cut ccl some slack because i cant beleive they are that incompetant, if you give me proof they are that incompetant and couldnt find their arse with both hands then im on your side 100%. I had a tech buddy in the US that had their own company and on 1 occasion missed something so damn simple we were both laughing.

    Somewhere between your house and their workbench there is a variable that is your bogey.
    I take it its a barebones tower, case, psu, board cpu ram and hdd. did they supply a mains cable or did you reuse or source a new one?

    Replace tower mains cable with good known working cable.

    Run HWMonitor, run system up to freeze point and make a note of all temps, board cpu and hdd.

    Take side panel off and run system up.

    With side panel off blow cool air from desktop fan into the case.

    It might be a shonky power supply that just struggles with the basics(inc kb and rodent) and cant handle anything else.

    Repaste cpu cooler.

    Thats what i would check with my own parts builds.

    Its usually bad cables, psu or overheating that causes a pc to be that bad.

    Good luck,

    If on the other hand you just cant be arsed enjoy your intel rig when you get it :)
    Still problem free with mine :om:

    I have changed the power cable, monitoring software shows everything running very cool, CPU, Board, RAM etc.

    I have taken Windows off and installed MX Linux, its the only distro that will run live, install and function. On boot I get an error message, it was the same error thrown up by the distros that failed "Unable to write toIOMMU perf counter" this suggests a graphics problem, so logically its either the board or the CPU, outside chance its RAM. I could spend quite a bit on this PC, which I now hate, and still have the same problem. There is still a good chance that this is more design flaw than fault, there are just too many similar issues recorded online with AMD products.

    @Kim100 much like all the flaws i read about from ryzens first ever day and since. Glad i never bought it. Donate the bastard to your nearest landfill site.

    LOL, I will put it on our local freecycle site, someone who has a similar PC can have it for spares.

    This PC has gone downhill since I bought it, I'm guessing that each BIOS update containing a "fix" I have applied has made matters worse. Flashing it now with the original BIOS on an unstable machine will probably bugger it up completely.

    Ive never had real problems with amd's chipsets, even the A88X. They outsourced the chipsets to asmedia and i think thats where the real problem lay.

    What really boils my piss dry over all these ryzen problems is that the industry isnt doing to enough to force amd to sort this mess out, no one is pointing fingers. all Lisa Su wants is more cores, more cores. More coars is fine and dandy but when the hardware they are supposed to work on doesnt then it dont mean s**t if you have 4 or 40 cores. How many users have had to go through the "fix on the fly" method waiting and praying on the next bios update, then the next then the next,,,,,
