BoB's PC (DLC)
I've been given a request for BoB's PC, a pro SocCar player.
BoB's PC came full of dust.
Regarding the job, these are its tasks:

1. PC can boot to OS - green
2. Diagnose and fix - red
3. Spend less than $500 - green
4. Installed and Can Run: SocCar - green
5. Complete by end of day 5/27/20 - red

So, I cleaned BoB's pc, there is no dust left. I replaced the broken parts, however, Diagnoes and fix is still red.

I tried to get all the parts and put them back in, nothing worked though.

And when I try to bench the PC or to do a stress test on it, it keeps crashing.

Do you guys have any clues?

Hi,

Just to confirm this isn't a bug, there's also a problem with the cooler. ;)

Cheers,

Where green = done ; red = undone

If it keeps crashing during stress test. Something is wrong.

Does it draw too much power? Does it overheat? Is it too high of a clockspeed? Is it the GPU, CPU or a weak PSU.

Figure that out and it might get sorted.

Nope, tried on a 500W PSU (by default it was a 250W PSU)

The CPU is an i7-8700

Everything is by its default ( regarding frequencies )
GPU is a Phantom Gaming ASRock RX580 8G

Check the bluescreen, it gives you an indication of what's causing it.

On the 250W PSU it states
"The system encountered an uncorrectable hardware error"
On the 500W PSU, it doesn't give a bluescreen.

Still, it doesn't give me the green on the "Diagnose and fix" task.

Then try to do a virus scan.

Haven't played the expansion that much yet. Still building my way tup to 31 in the career. So I can't pinpoint the exact problem(s) that this job need fixing.

Was one of the broken parts a HDD? Did you replace it with an identical part? Some people have had issues with HDD and replacing them, check the forums and you should find people with issues like that and possible solution to that problem.

Nope, the broken part was (I think) the PSU. Anyway, the new DLC is full of bugs, since it's new. Saw the Discussions page with DLC bugs.
Thanks for tuning in, though!

I don't think it's full of bugs.
It's full of players that need to take better notes, and study up on using OCCT. :)

There's an excellent "BSOD & Simple Overclocking" guide in the Guides area, if you want more help. And experts are on Discord, too.

Nope, I read that guide, doesn't help AT ALL. Plus, there is no need of overclocking, and the PSU is 500W, enough to not give out a BSOD upon benchmarking.

Is there a broken / disconnected case fan ? Also you can't replace air coolers with liquid coolers for diagnose and fix cases
