AB350 Gaming-ITX/ac+Athlon950 W-Lan stopping Sys

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I did the downgrade to 3.60 yesterday, deactivated the WIFI in bios, uninstalled the drivers in Windows and the system still crashed while shutting down and stays ad "windows is shuting down" for hours until I do a hard reset.
If I try to start games from steam I get constant crashes, freezes or windows shuts itself down.
Some at origin an steam and even games without separate launcher from gog.com.

I did not buy a fatality-board to listen to music and surf because everything else causes instand crashes :(

I know, that the Athlon 950 isn´t a threatripper, but ~30CPU-usage for firefox with only google running and steam without dount anything at a usage of ~25% is far to high.

Even a reinstall did not fix anything.
Any idea what to try next?

	Did you remove the Wifi adapter? Once you have, let us know if it helped. I am suspecting it has something to do with the issue.

	Just uninstalled the WIFI-Card. Seems to run better now. But, Who designed this scrap. Had to uninstall allmost everything to get to the second screw. After at least an hour and with some allmost broken fingers, in reinstalled everything and started the PC. It took 4 tries to get the PC running. In Windows Firefox did not show anything anymore. I had to reinstall it. Since then, the PC did not crash. For amazing 6 minutes til now... I hope that uninstalling the WIFIcard fixed the problems and that Asrock will fix this soon. Thanks to everyone so far. ?? OK, it took 8 minutes and LAN lost connection again. So, the system at least til now did not crash anymore but still fails to work stable. Somehow this board seems to be scrap, sorry :( Any idea how to fix this? Would it be realistic to expect better results if I replace the Athlon 950 with an ryzen 2400 or 1500X?

	By resetting the LAN-Connetcion every 10 to 15 minutes at least I can download my games. Just ordered a Ryzen 2200g and hopefully this might fix some of the Bugs. At least it should make Bios 450 possible again. Maybe this could help a little... I built more than 80 Computer from scratch til now but I never had such a scrappy board. sorry to say so, but this is far from beeing something good :(

	Have you considered this might be power related? A 1050 req a MIN of a 320W PSU. Might be something there to look into. Borrow a PSU to test with?

	I think Wardog is on the right track, 300 watt PSU is barely enough to cover the graphics, what about the rest of the system?

	Good Morning, seems like my problems are fixed: The WIFI-Module still is unplugged. I replaced the Athlon 950 with a Ryzen 2200g and since then, the LAn never crashed again. I got several cold boots running without problems. The only new problem I have: My Samsung 690 evo is listed as USB-device and listed in the list of unplugable devices. Somehow I will hopefully fix this. But beside this, the computer finally is running like it should.
