Clearing CMOS is only the first step.

Now you need to repair your OS, or if it is unrepairable reinstall windows

I say the nuclear option, no more running around in circles.

@varimathas did you ever get a psu that has higher current output?

What's the nuclear option?
I asked you a question in my previous post too, nuke your os drive, meaning a format, then a fresh os.

It didnt worked. The GPU booted normally into Windows but it crashed when installing the drivers.

Pull out the gpu. Use your integrated graphics for now while you get your OS sorted

To the OP. What drives to you have connected? What I mean is do you have drives in RAID 0 or connected via the PCIe slots? The reason I asked is since I installed 24H2 I have been having the exact same issue as you. The kicker was that this morning I installed Bazzite and let it sit. The PC was stable for 4 hours straight. Then I tried to install Windows and kept getting an error. It made me look it up and I found a Windows forum that discussed that if you have a Dynamic disk and 24h2 you can run into an issue where Windows sees the disk as foreign and will not allow the install. That only gave me that message after I had installed Bazzite on the drive and truly wiping Windows. I have several RAID 0 arrays and the solution in the forum was to use CMD during Install Shift +F10. Then do Diskpart. List Disk will show you all of the disks and you have to select the foreign drives and convert them to basic. I still ran into issues but there was a MS update today via One drive that seemed to have stabilized things somewhat. I am still getting driver time outs when the Desktop is idle but every time I restart there is a new Desktop background with telemetry built right in. It is still broken and now it seems that Windows does not like my Mouse and the lack of Arjmoury Crate might be the issue but it is something that I did not see. 24H2 is the first Update to do that.

The fact that it is DDR4 and 24GB, meaning that's some mixmatch cattywampus engineering going on with that build. Clear CMOS will unbork your BIOS settings so that you might be able to get your OS fixed.
i was thinking the same thing after looking at the bios photo. Don't u always use Dimm slot A2 and B2 for Ram? I didnt know you could add a third

Technically it should work as long as it's at the JEDEC speed/timings. If he can't get windows stable on the integrated graphics then I'll want to see pictures of what exactly is in those slots. We haven't ruled out a bad drive, card, PSU, motherboard, or even cables yet. I feel like I could fix this in an hour if I had my hands on it though

Windows is stable with the integrated graphic. I also explained that i did a fresh Windows install in a clean drive and that didnt fix anything.

Just checking is that stable on 23h2 or 24h2?
As per my earlier post, I cannot get either of my graphics cards to work on 24h2 without crashing in some way or another, so I'm permanently on 23h2 for the moment. The only stable solution on 24h2 was for me to use integrated graphics and that's no use to me.

The fresh install was with a 2022 build that i had ready in a usb stick

Hey, i really need help here.

I wont waste your time so heres the resume:

>I m a graphic designer, and my GPU was having problems with Photoshop. (But i never experienced any problem with any game)

>I was so tired of it, that i decided to start my PC with the HDMI cable connected to the motherboard, so the PC wont use the GPU but the integrated graphics instead (so i could work without any problems in photoshop)

> The plan worked, and at the end of my day i just reconnected back the HDMI to myu GPU so i could play

>I had a very heavy week of work and didnt connected the HDMI to the GPU for a week

> Then, when i finally did, the PC didnt even recognised the GPU.

> I try to reinstall the GPU drivers (using DDU) but thats when everything when to sh*t lol

> The PC crashed every time i tried to install the drivers

> Then the PC wasnt able to even reach the Windows menu

> And now my screen just goes black after the bios screen

> I tried all the tricks in the book of troubleshooting but nothing worked

> I tried turning the PC on with the secondary BIOS selected (its a DUAL BIOS GPU and u can change it with just a switch) but that do anything

> I try another GPU on my PC to see if something were wrong with my Motherboard but everything worked just fine


So... yeah, i dont know what else can i do. I even updated motherboard's bios, but nothing.

I really need my GPU to work so i would really appreciate some help.

Mi PC Specs are:

ASUS B450M-PRO GAMING
Ryzen 3400G
24 Gigs of RAM

ASUS Dual AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT Standard Edition
