  4. It's rare that the CPU takes damage and if it does, the damage shows itself in system crashes. To make sure that your CPU is alright, you can therefore put it under stress and see if that produces a system crash or not. The go-to program for that purpose would be Prime95. Let it run for 10 minutes to an hour and if no system crash happens, you should be in the clear. Keep in mind that Prime95 will utilise your CPU fully, so you can't use the PC otherwise while running it. To make sure your CPU cooling is sufficient, you can also record the CPU temperatures and frequencies while running Prime 95, e.g. with Core Temp. If your CPU gets too hot, it will start throttling (frequency goes down). This is normal, especially because your SSD was in usage, your PC was not idling. Even when idling the CPU utilisation will always go up a bit from time to time because of background processes becoming active sporadically and taking up CPU time. If you have sensitive and important data on your hard disks you want to keep, you should first back them up if you haven't done so already. Personally I wouldn't even bother to test each hardware component for faultiness just yet (like Prime 95 for the CPU, Memtest for your RAM sticks or Furmark or some other benchmark for your graphics processor). I would just use the PC normally and be vigilant for any "abnormal" behavior, especially system crashes. Only if these problems keep happening, I would suspect faulty hardware and then try to single out the culprit. So my recommendation would be: Start up a game and see what happens.

  8. I wish that I could remember all of my "Leader Mistakes" so that I could warn you away from making them, too. 😄 I did notice that you were gracious enough to react to every congratulatory post here.

  15. There should be a health check in the bios. You could try 3rd party software. I'm sure there's some freeware that you could find. Just do a search for PC system diagnostics software/voltage in google. Just for giggles.. The bios should tell you what the voltage is on that cmos battery. it should be 3-3.5 volts, you can always use a volt meter too. If that voltage is too low you could have a bad battery. Is the PSU fan running? Or is it dead? Do you have volt meter to check the correct voltage that is supplied to the motherboard? If the voltage is too low, you could have a bad psu. The bios should also tell you as well what voltage you're pulling from the psu but I think only on main components? I use a software called cputemp from time to time to make sure my cpus not overheating. Theres a ton of stuff out there though.

  16. Sorry about earlier, didn't realize no access to BIOS. A couple of popular stress tests below, both are free if you use the basic version. But since you can get into windows now, consider making a boot thumb drive with tests. OCCT https://www.ocbase.com/download PCMark 10 Basic Edition (but you have to download on steam) https://benchmarks.ul.com/pcmark10

  17. I don't think that you can fry a Ryzen G model with a faulty driver or bios settings. The temperature thresholds for first throttling, then shutting down to prevent overheating for CPUs, GPUs or APUs are usually saved on the chips themselves in a read-only register. In some enthusiast models you can write to this register as well and change the temperature values (e.g. TJ Max), but in the case of AMD Ryzens I would expect this to be reserved to the 'X' models. Often times one makes connections where there are actually none. Therefore I would first recommend to make absolutely certain that your video output cable (HDMI/DP) is correctly hooked up to your monitor and PC. Best do this by unplugging it and then plugging it back in. Whenever I had the issue of no monitor signal, it usually was because a cable became loose and unhooked without me noticing it. If this doesn't work, make sure that the CMOS is properly reset to the default settings. As Captconcrete said, make sure that you have removed the battery of the mainboard for at least 5 minutes before you put it back in or reset the CMOS by using a jumper if your motherboard has one for resetting the CMOS. Even if you cannot boot into the OS for a myriad of reasons (like a faulty hard drive), at least the BIOS should load. Keep us updated!

  20. so u cant get the bios to post . i would try this .. disconnect the power supply and the cmos battery. wait 5 mins .. hook back up. if everything is on do u have sound .. just no os loading what o/s is it? try diff monitor. ? also disconnect and reconnect your hdd .. try a diff sata port .? i had a sata port burnout on me before did just what u explain. just throwing up some suggestions. pc specs would make it a little easier to help u ..
