[@djkucuk]

If the update resetted your bios, it might be that it also reset PCIe compatibility to 4.0 instead of 3.0. Because PCIe 4.0 is more finicky on timings and you have the long riser cable the timings were off and thats why you didn't get any VGA signal.

This was a damn good mystery and fun situation from a technical point of view because seeing issues arise with PCs and solving them is a good feeling due to the fact now that you seen the problem and solved it you gained new knowledge on troubleshooting that kind of problem.

[@jurgenboy23]

A CMOS Checksum error is a conflict between the CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) and BIOS (Basic Input Output System) that happens when you boot up a computer. It occurs when the computer isn't able to read startup information or the data does not match up. In this guide, we explain what causes a CMOS Checksum error and offer instructions for troubleshooting and fixing the problem. Motherboard with CMOS battery Causes of CMOS Checksum Errors There are several potential reasons for a CMOS checksum error, but almost all come back to the information on the CMOS being corrupt for one reason or another. Before an operating system boots, the computer's motherboard handles many lower-level tasks, preparing the system components to run and eventually handing those tasks off to the operating system. The software on the motherboard is called the BIOS. In addition to booting up a computer, the BIOS contains several settings for its hardware, like speeds, voltages, system time, and boot priorities. The BIOS settings aren't saved on the hard drive. They're on a chip called the CMOS. Whenever you make changes to the BIOS settings, start your computer up, or shut it down, those events are written to the CMOS. It keeps track of the data to make sure that things run normally the next time you start the computer. The CMOS stays on while the rest of the computer is off because it's powered independently by a watch battery. When the computer starts, it reads the state it was last in from the CMOS. Usually, it can read the information and restore itself without an issue. A CMOS Checksum error occurs when the computer isn't able to read that information. One of the more common causes of a checksum error is also the simplest to solve. The battery that powers the CMOS is a watch battery, and it can run out of power. When the battery is dead, the CMOS can't store information anymore. Power surges and sudden losses of power are other causes. If a computer doesn't have a chance to write information to the CMOS before it's abruptly powered off, it has a hard time picking up where it left off. Power surges can also cause corruption or hardware damage. The final cause is less common, but it can happen. If the BIOS is damaged or corrupted, it will cause a mismatch between the BIOS and CMOS. It's uncommon but possible for a virus to infect and corrupt the BIOS. Still, it's more common that a BIOS update failed or the operating system updated

Hey, I just want to say I love your videos and I want to say thank you for this mini series. By some odd chance my computer died while this series was going on, starting with me upgrading my cpu cooler and I accidentally jabbed my m.2 killing it. I buy a new refurbished one, only to find that it was 250 gb and the person who sold it to best buy to be refurbished and sold, conned them. I then and went and bought a new m.2 from best buy, and downloaded windows 10 thinking I was out of the woods. Only to find that after 2 days of use windows had a blue screen of death. So I downloaded another fresh windows 10, but again after 2 days of use it died. I was hopeless until my uncle who has been helping me throughout all of it, suggested I should reseat my ram because that's what could cause windows not to work. Now my pc finally works, and a day after I fixed it you uploaded this video. These videos inspired me to keep trying, and I thank you again for making me feel like I'm not alone and giving me motivation. Love your work!

It is soooo nice to finally see a video of someone struggling like I always do when I build a PC. In the videos everything normally goes perfectly while I end up in sending back and forth parts.And unlike you, I don't have a nice contact at Asus that sends me a new board, or a new processor because I can't afford it. And then the most annoying part is, when you see people writing smart ass comments assuming you are dumb and did the most basic stuff wrong. Well I am about to build a new PC, I am crosschecking compatability with all the parts before I even order anything, and I am not going to do extreme tweaking with weird custom cables. Let's hope that for once, I will have a nice PC build.

[@RottenOxford]

I work as a computer repair technician, but I can't say that I know what is happening, especially since I am not there to go through it, but I can give you some food for thought. What was the common denominator in every situation where you tested and got the CMOS error or post error? What part that is replacable did you not replace? Was there some sort of PCI driver issue that caused a communication problem within the hardware somewhere? Did you replace every replaceable part separately (replace the CPU and then keep everything else the same, if that doesn't work, put back the old CPU and replace the GPU, so on and so forth)? From the sounds and looks of it, you tested and replaced all the hardware, but if you didn't it could be something to do with the SSD, the CMOS battery, or the RAM, as those were the only things that I don't think I saw you replace. If you have tested all the hardware (replacing them one by one while keeping all other parts original) then most likely something happened with the Windows Update that caused a software issue somewhere. I've come across a lot of different situations where the most reliable fix has been just to reinstall Windows. I have also found that some machines (especially some laptops) tend to just not work well with Windows 10 or Windows 11 depending on the machine. I would say the best bet for your issue though is that there was some sort of software issue that was causing a communication error between parts. Love your videos! Hope this helps!

I genuinely hope the problem is fixed. However, I'm a little wary about the decided fix because that riser cable wasn't even in the house when the problem started so I'm not sure how it can be the cause.

i dont know what the initial cause for instability related to win11 install was, but taking it off the wall the only thing you didnt consider is mounting pressure on your cpu and how gravity affects that. power delivery with other cable seems to have solved it, but uneven or overtorqued pressure on ur cpu causes very similar problems.

Before all of this I also tried flashing Bios directly through Mother Board but it did not work for some reason before I swaped CPU with the one with integrated graphics. Same thing also happened to like 7 friends and same methoh was used to fix it. Hope you could make video about it, I could show you how it went for me, and hopefully I could be tagged in one of the vids :)! Love the content and I'm following you ever since you started and had arround I think 90k or 100k subs

So glad you got your computer working, i have been there many times and it is so stressful. If you don't mind would you be able to tell me what screensaver that is please the one when you first booted in to windows 11.
