The issues began after using a 75T DMA with emulated firmware flashed onto it. Since then, the driver does not show any serial numbers. Certain games consistently crash, including ARC Raiders and The Finals, and will not function until the game files are verified. I receive a “certificate check failed” error, Counter-Strike 2 reports missing or invalid signatures, and Escape from Tarkov becomes stuck in an endless “verifying game files” loop. Other PC programs also fail to function correctly until they are completely redownloaded or reinstalled.
These problems persist across both Windows 10 and Windows 11 and continue even after multiple clean Windows reinstalls. Windows Update and Windows Defender are disabled. The system uses an Aorus Z790 Master motherboard (latest BIOS), Intel i9-13900KF, 128 GB DDR5 at default 4800 MT/s (no XMP), five 1 TB NVMe SSDs, and a Radeon 7900 XTX.
