Generally I'll need to enter the bios settings and when I save and exit it'll boot ok. I thought it may have been due to my OC settings, so defaulted everything the other day but it did it again this morning. Anyone got any ideas what could be causing it? Or is it just indicating things are old and tired and I should get a new PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it boots then add things 1 at a time. Maybe bios battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. Haven't had any BSOD or any other random behaviour like reboots etc. Would that help rule out the RAM and HDD being issues? Been playing with Kodi etc pretty heavily this week and have decided it's a PITA and I may be much better off setting up some form of PLEX server utilising Sonarr etc. Anyone done a setup like this and have any suggestions on specs and thoughts etc? Seems like the most streamlined way to make myself a lazy mans way of getting tv shows and streaming them to my Xbox in the living room. Can have everything auto update and organise folders etc then get PLEX to read the library. Edited 25/10/18 01:20 AM by .Stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check you Bios Battery. I bet you it is flat. Put a new one in and she should be fine. I don't think it is your memory. Mem86 bootable usb stick can help test the memory for you too. I think your pc is fine in terms of CPU and Memory. Get an SSD, new graphics card and upgrade your current windows to windows 10 64bit and it will be flying. Windows will start up in 45 seconds or less... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it just indicating things are old and tired and I should get a new PC? my first port of call for any crashing issue is cleaning the RAM contacts a friend at a PC store once told me that this is their biggest money earner remove RAM sticks and spray the gold looking metal contact area on the RAM that goes into the motherboard liberally with a good quality contact cleaner with a piece of white paper, rub the metal contacts with the contact cleaner applied you should see black marks transferring to the paper repeat process also blow out the RAM slots in the motherboard with compressed air plug it all back in and kick it in the guts but having said this, there is nothing like building yourself a brand new PC 47 minutes ago, masda74 said: Windows will start up in 45 seconds or less... most definitely less if not, your'e doing something wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
