I have connected:
- a Logitech receiver that's always connected.
- esp32-S3 direct USB
- USB to serial converter (ch340 I think?)
- maybe a flash drive (but doubt in the last 30 days)
1) For any recurrent black screens > click > Windows logo key + Ctrl + Shift + B > report what is seen and heard
2) For any recurrent BSOD > post a new V2 share link into the newest post
3) Please run the multiple Asus diagnostics > custom (all) > allow it to run overnight as needed
(You'll be the first to report the ease of use, pro / con, of this diagnostic software)
For each test take pictures > post images or share links displaying the tests performed with results

1) I will try again but in the past this does nothing. Black screen remains. It also sometimes freezes playing a tone if the speakers were playing something when the event happened and the screen is sometimes a strange pixelated version of what was on the screen before the freeze. I have tried this key combo during the black and pixelated screens with no result. I have to hold the power button for 2-5secs for anything to happen. Simply pressing the button is unresponsive.
2) BSOD's are a little more rare than the above but I will run V2 if and when they occur.
3) I have run that diagnostic before and just did it again without much fruit. Update your browser to use Google Drive and other apps - Google Drive Help
I took screenshots of the 3 "suggestions". The alternative PC diagnostic doesn't seem to start up. When opening the .exe it has a load screen which disappears after 15 seconds and then disappears.
1) Choose one of the temperature monitoring software applications: Speecy, HW monitor, Speed fan:

Just started running the CPU stress test and wanted to move my PC. I unplugged it briefly and noticed the temps drop pretty rapidly. Then when I plugged it in they shot up again. I dove into the power plans to see if it boosts performance when plugged in but there seems to be only 1 power plan in Windows so I'm not sure if there is an ASUS utility that is changing this or if it is simply that the charger is plugged in that is increasing the CPU temps. Interested in your thoughts
Dont think that's available for my device
