New gaming PC Help!!!

[randygreenbaum77]

Got the wild hair to build my first gaming PC spent $1k and got decent components. Got everything put together correctly booted up fine, loaded windows, no issues. Downloaded the amd graphics driver, steam, and I racing. (I did not download any other drivers like I was supposed to). The moment I plugged in the steering wheel and pedals for sim racing, the pc shut off and hasn’t been the same since. It will boot up but runs very slow and if I try to do anything other than internet it shuts down and re boots.

I tried to do a windows factory reset but it keeps shutting down before it finishes the reset. Tried this 5 times. I figure if I can start over and load the correct drivers it gives me a place to start.

Did something short out when I plugged in the wheel? Tried the wheel on the Xbox and it works fine.

Anybody got any ideas? Thank you for your time!

have you tried a clean install? Or was that what you did when you factory reset?

What power supply do you have?

I assume steering wheel/pedals are USB?

have you tried safe mode?
windows would have installed most of the drivers you didn't. It tried to be helpful like that

you are on the latest non beta BIOS on motherboard. Safe place to be
