Hello!

I bought a new Radeon RX 6600xt Red devil, because I don't want to be part of nvdia crazy prices :(

Problem:
PC boot once at 20 restarts
Not fresh win11 installation (but maybe I should)
Already bios restarted to defaults
Before that 5700g integrated graphics used
Windows + Drivers updated to the latest

Setup:
GIGABYTE B550 GAMING X V2
AMD Ryzen 7 5700G
PSU: GP-UD750GM

Hwinfo details:
 
Looks like you should reseat everything! Also, get another PSU!
 
but PSU is the corrected version, that's right? This don't blow up

Bios / battery is reseted
That PSU is sus. Also, I meant reseat the cards and RAM!
 
What do you mean? Im noobie :(

should I change the slot of the GPU?
and a slot of ram?
or should I buy a new ram?

Thank you about PSU, I'm going to sell it when I get more money

Take it out and reinsert it and push down straight. A common noob mistake is to push on it horizontally! (sideways) For the RAM, with each stick, push down on each side until you hear a click and probably feel it on each side, if the motherboard RAM slots have a lever on both sides.

The ones with only a lever on one side, are tricky in comparison (a.k.a., the "ROG-style RAM slots") (Even when I saw non-Asus motherboards with the same type of thing!) With those, you must press down on the side that doesn't have the lever first, then press down on the levered-side.

Pivot slots
 
So good to see a solid solution to an issue, most of the time, you'd see comments like; "Serves you right for buying AMD". "AMD GPU and driver issue, should have gone with nVidia", "AMD card with its usual issue", etc. Sometimes, it could come down to improperly installed RAM, GPU....I recall once, one of my RAM sticks suddenly died. It caused me all sorts of issues from BSOD, failure to boot, crashing and freezes.....had me pulling out my already thinning hair. Didn't occur to me that a RAM stick could just suddenly give up the ghost.....
