Top Comments of this video!! :3
Those goddamn Patriot RGB drivers caused me so much grief in the past. I had massive instability back in Assassin's Creed Odyssey where my computer would crash or reboot often like 20 seconds after starting the game, several times in a row. Sometimes it'd play fine for an hour or two but usually it was more in the 2-3 minutes range. I was going crazy and slowly replaced every single component of the system trying to find what was defective. Mainboard was the last, going from an ASUS board to a Gigabyte one and the problem went away so I filed it as a defective mainboard and moved on with my life, with pockets lighter thanks to all the money spent. Then half a year later I saw a video from Jay about it and I realized what was going on there. The new Gigabyte board simply didn't have any RGB and my other RGB (AIO and RAM only) was controlled by the components' respective manufacturer's software and those didn't install the Patriot drivers.

Great video Kyle! Fun to see you helping out a friend as a fellow tech supportee! (once a tech supporter for friends and family, always a tech supporter for friends and family😂).
Patriot Viper RGB is notorious for causing BSOD and instabiltiy.
They should give us the option to select which parts we have, so that it only installs drivers for the components we use.

The Windows 10 product key can be used for a "fresh install" of Windows 11, so no need to pay extra for a Win 11 product key. A motherboard bios update would have probably been worthwhile doing. Also: instead of re-formatting the external drive, running CHKDSK /F could have/may have cured the boot error.

It's possible that you have a bad/corrupted sector where the system file was. You may have formatted the drive (and moved that system file somewhere else), but the bad sector still remains. You need to scan the drive and map any bad sectors. You can also use some tools to try to regenerate that bad sector/s and see, if you can salvage it.

If windows is installed under legacy bios instead of UEFI, sometimes you can't disable legacy mode and still get windows to boot without reinstalling under UEFI mode. Also, depending on the bios, it may hide other boot options in the boot order list that aren't connected. So it may have been defaulting to the external drive when connected.

This actually make sense to me. I have 2 HDD in my old laptop and my (now discarded)2nd HDD became corrupted, some videos were corrupted because my HDD was starting to go bad. Whenever i would try to access the corrupted file containing the video OR just the video, the WHOLE system would freeze just like at 21:34. I was able to use CMD.exe to forcefully delete the corrupted video(s) and then backed up all my video that i was able to copy to my iOS's HDD. The HDD had difficulty reading some files/videos but i was able to transfert all of them (The copying would freeze for a few second/minutes then continue copying).
If you have an old HDD that is starting to take WAY longer than normal to read a specific file, consider making a backup before it goes really bad.

That is very interesting. I have had a similar problem with my rebuilt PC, and same as you pinpointed it down to the Seagate external drive I was using for backups. I then watched your video !! Has the formatting completely fixed the issue as I don't particularly want to go and shed out more cash if I can get it fixed? Keep up the good work, love your vids.

Behold the gnarly righteousness of 2 bros fixing a computer. I wasn't planning to make this into a video initially, but decided last minute to turn on the cams and let it ride. Enjoy.
