Computer Issues

I'm setting up a new Windows 11 PC and I cannot get my router attached storage to mount as a network drive.

Oddly typing the address in as a run command works perfectly '\\readyshare'
but it will not connect when I type it in the map network drive. It's throwing up a generic network error code.
I've attached a pic of the screen. Window on the left is me typing straight in the run command, and I confirmed it is actually working (streamed a video)
Right side is the map screen.

If anyone has an idea , I am all ears. I gave up for the night before I take my all purpose toaster fixing sledge hammer to it.

So I should have known that the Memory going bad was a sign of something deeper. Today, when I start the PC, all the LED's come on - but I get no display what so ever. I reseated the memory, trying every single slot, individually, with just a single stick of ram - no change. I took off the 4090 completely, and just tried to use onboard video - nothing. No display output on that avenue, either. I have a blinking orange light, that is supposed to mean a DRAM issue? Also, when the PC shuts off, Im unsure of it - but I never noticed it before - but there there is a red light on the 4090 that blinks twice when it shuts down and thats.. supposed to be related to unstable power?

With the build so new, I have absolutely nothing to test bench any of this stuff with. Im about to sacrifice my ego to the Gods and take it to a computer repair place.

Just make sure you very specifically spell out your components and ask them if they can bench test those components. I recently went through this and did take it to a shop, because like you, I didn't have spare compatible components to test with.

Well after days of back and forth with them they finally admitted the components were too "new" so they couldn't properly isolate anything.

At the end of the day I just did "bare bones" testing by removing everything, even testing with on board gpu until I narrowed it down to either the MB or CPU. I had to reorder the same exact ones again from Amazon and it turned out to be the CPU (Intel i5 13600k). I packaged up the new mobo and just sent it back (thanks Amazon!) And did a refund RMA with the bad cpu.

The whole ordeal took like a month and a half from troubleshooting to fully fixed and refunded.

Dont think I'll be building anymore custom PCs after having done it for the past ~20 years.

That sucks bro. Only had G.Skill go bad one time and that was 2-3 years after I built the PC. This was a way back so it was overclocked like hell. Not sure if that made it bad or not but G.Skill had a lifetime warranty and replaced it w/o issue.
