[2020-09-06 Sun] Another PC for the gaming fleet

Bougth Inwin Case, and ASRock A520M motherboard. Built system with existing parts, but found out motherboard was incompatible with all available integrated graphics CPUs, including my 2400G. AMD released a chipset without support for early Ryzens, or even 3rd gen integrated GPU Ryzens. Despite it having display outputs there were no released CPUs at this time (Ryzen Pro) that could use those ports. Silly. So I needed a different board.

[2020-09-19 Sat] Finalizing the build

Completed build with a ASRock B450 chipset board.

[2023-10-23 Mon] Windows update broke

Windows 10 boot looped itself with an update or something. I couldn't get into safe mode. I couldn't seem to repair it.

I decided to clonezilla the 90GB OS drive to a 240GB drive. This failed because the source drive reported bad sectors. Tried again with enabling fsck/repair option. Long story short, nothing worked. The SSD errors seemed to prevent all my attempts.

I ran ddrescue to copy the system partition with a handful of errors, did a fresh windows install on a new drive, and set everything back up. User files were easily copied back over, and steam was happy to find it's old library folders and not redownload everything. The rest was reinstalled manually.
