  1. Windows Updates and Personal Settings


    Windows changed my PC settings, PC goes to sleep after about 1 minute inactivity, and even though I keep resetting it back to “NEVER” it still goes to sleep! And now I can’t sign back in with just my password, it is asking me to set a PIN, I also have PIN required setting set to OFF. I have said asking, but it is not giving any other option, you can not proceed past this window. The only option is to shut down completely and then restart, which means any documents, or other word or web pages etc that I was using. Are lost. Why does Microsoft keep interfering with my settings? This is ver

    Windows Updates and Personal Settings

    AMD FX OC'ers Club

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
