    Upgrading my Build

    Hi everyone & happy new year! So I've been working on the issues again, updated the SSD firmware, filled up all 4 slots with RAM. I was actually able to do some work in PS/LR for about 40mins before it again shut down without warning and rebooted. I downloaded afterburner but it won't let me...

    Upgrading my Build

    Thanks everyone! I've never updated the firmware of the SSD. I'll give it a try tonight! I'm thinking of getting the Samsung Evo 500GB for a fresh OS install.

    Upgrading my Build

    Thanks for all the help :) I appreciate it. I changed the setting from IDE to AHCI which allowed me to boot up into Windows! This is with the 2x 8GB corsair ram installed. Thanks for the tip, I never thought of that. I was able to surf the web and open Lightroom for about 15min before the...

    Upgrading my Build

    Hi atp1916, Yes I did try the 2x8 sticks in dual channel slots with the same instant blue screen at "starting Windows". Also the system reboots right away so I'm unable to see the actual blue screen error code. Frustrating :( I'm removing the cmos battery one more time and let the MB...

    Upgrading my Build

    Hi, Removed the CMOS battery twice for a few minutes and switched up RAM. Tried everything. Also removed all HDDs except the main SSD with the OS but I'm still getting the blue screen! :-(

    Upgrading my Build

    I did. Same outcome. Checked all cables and connections and cleaned out all the dust. Not sure what else I could try. Resetting/removing the CMOS battery? Maybe it is a sign to build a new system now ...

    Upgrading my Build

    I worked on one of those anti static plastic mats (on top of a carpet floor) and I did the normal discharge via the case while leaving the system plugged in. I hope I didn't fry anything. :( I did check all the cables and I made sure not to "mess" around inside. I'll check the HDD cables again...

    Upgrading my Build

    Hello, I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I did get my RAM per mail and installed today. I ordered 2xCorsair 8GB (1x8GB) DDR3 1333 MHz (PC3 10666). Everything went downhill. The goal was to have 24GB RAM. 2x4GB Gskill + the 2x8GB corsair. I was able to boot up into Windows and...

    Upgrading my Build

    Thanks everyone. The new RAM is a cheap upgrade so I'll hope that helps for now. If so, then I'll save up for the upcoming year and build a completely new system. :-)

    Upgrading my Build

    Thanks everyone for responding! I have no clue about OC. would my PSU even be enough? I checked my settings and GPU processor is on and recognized in Photoshop 2015 CC. Scratch disk is my SSD. I just noticed that my SSD is 80% full. But that shouldn't be the issue since I would get a "scratch...

    Upgrading my Build

    Thanks everyone for all the help & great information! I'll watch the RAM usage more closely tomorrow. I did notice the ram usage earlier at about 7700mb when CPU went up to 98%. This happened when I was merging 3 images together in PS. PS stopped responding for a few seconds - that's when I...

    Upgrading my Build

    Hello skillz, Thanks for your reply. RAM does tend to go high with my apps open. But CPU goes up to 98%. It is my understanding that the Adobe products use mostly the video card processor instead of the CPU? RAM should be pretty cheap to replace. Can I keep some of my ram sticks? Or is...
