So I recently overhauled my system.
Everything new but my hard drive.
Radeon 7970 ghz edition, fx 8350 8 core, 16gb of ripsaws gskill, and a 970a-ud3 gigabyte motherboard.
So I have a couple current problems.
First off, power save mode.
My computer will at random times decide that it wants to go into power save mode. Then when trying to reboot it, it won't come out of power save mode. The screen just stays black.
Sometimes I am able to get it to go through, but rarely. I can hit del multiple times when it is booting, and it will flash to my bios for about 5 seconds then the screen will go black.
Another thing that might be of note.
I took it to a computer repair shop for a free diagnostic last night, and they said that my windows may be corrupt because it is reading my 16gb of ram as (7.96 usable).
I have tried the basic things, booting in safe mode and running virus cleaners, reseating all of my hardware components, and even tried just using 1 ram stick (when it does manage to boot in this config, the os reads 8gb usable like it should).
Any suggestions?
