About this tag
The tag 'faulty parts' is used in discussions about diagnosing hardware issues in custom-built Windows PCs. A common scenario involves troubleshooting BSODs and peripheral failures after a fresh Windows installation. Users often suspect components like memory or USB controllers when standard fixes such as driver updates, BIOS changes, or OS reinstallation do not resolve the problem. The tag appears in threads where builders seek to determine whether a hardware defect or a software conflict is causing system instability.
We recently built my friends computer. We started with Windows 8.1 and that was fine until the keyboard and mouse stopped working. We tried other USB ports, disabling the XHCI in BIOS, and other things but nothing worked. We decided to clean format and switch back to Windows 7.
