  1. Hi all, I've purchased a new 1TB nvme drive and I've cloned my OS from my 250gb SSD to the 1tb nvme one using Macrium reflect. However, I cannot seem to boot from it and I cant understand why. I've had a browse around and saw things suggesting disabling CSM and the like nothing has worked, something to do with boot keys and windows secure boot? It's a bit confusing and I don't really understand why it's different and what I need to do, can someone clear the water for me here? Am I better off just installing windows fresh on my new drive?
  2. My monitor and cable are working as it did just post this morning, then as I've gone through troubleshooting everything's just gotten worse. Just tried powering on with the complete basics, still no post. OK WTF?!? It posted. My RAM wasn't seated properly but why has this happened in the first place?
  3. Turned on my computer a couple weeks ago, it posted to a plain black screen. No mobo logo or BIOS screen, just plain black. Sat on it for 15 minutes which is when I got worried. Tried resetting, didn't fix it. Was about to melt down as I had all my uni assignments due on Monday. Took off the side panel and unplugged my 360 controller, booted up just fine. Thought nothing of it until it happened again today, where unplugging a bunch of stuff didn't fix it. Here's what I have done: Checked all connections and miscellaneous things according to sticky post - No change Reset the CMOS - This caused it not to post at all. Reseat RAM - No change Reseat GPU - Now my keyboard and mouse dont light up. Replace GPU - No change Having a quick read around forums it seems that a lot of people have this plain black screen post issue with ASUS boards. I'd like to try update the BIOS but I don't have a way of doing that. Considering that now the peripheral lights dont even turn on, Can I confidently assume that my mobo is dead here? - W10 64 - Ryzen 5 1600 (Bought used years ago) - PALIT RTX 3060 (Bought new a month ago) - ASUS Prime B450-A (Bought new) - Ballistics DDR4 (16GB 2 x 8GB 2666mhz) (Bought new) - EVGA 650GS Supernova "Gold Standard" PSU - 650w (Bought new in 2015) - Samsung 850 EVO 250gb (boot drive)(bought new in 2015)
  4. Been fine for the last couple weeks, happening again right now though and unplugging the controller ain't fixing it

  6. Lmao, yeah, but I've done that my whole life on like 6 different GPUs. Btw I have a 3060 now and all is well. 980ti was faulty.
  7. Not a bad idea, i'll think about it. They go for 100 ish on ebay.
  8. My brothers using an RX 470 and he's all good. Jealous.
  9. Yeah, i've tried to buy a new keyboard too. It's really frustrating.
  10. Yeah, im in quite the opposite situation, my GTX 980 Ti died and im stuck with an R7 250x 1GB while all my friends are playing warzone.
  11. Ok, thanks, I'll make an account now. I'm looking for a 3060Ti, but might try snag a 3060 when it comes out.
  12. Go for a Ryzen 5! I guarantee it will suffice better long term. I got mine for £90 with a cooler.
  13. Damn, really? There's absolutely nothing like EVGA's site?
  14. I've never really used a "new machine". From about 2010 to 2016 I used a Phenom CPU from 2005? (not too sure on the model or date) Im pretty sure it was quad core and black edition tho. I then upgraded to an FX-8350 (I know, kill me) which is a 2011 CPU. And lastly in 2020 I bought a ryzen 5 1600 (2017 chip).
  15. I'm trying to buy a brand new card for MSRP (ish) , from a UK retailer. The only site I know of with a "queue" system is EVGA's, but aren't they US? Where can I buy from?
  16. I think the MSRP was 329 dollars. Here in the UK thats about £230, decent for a lower end card.
  17. I find it so cool - even though I am not into mining or can even afford any new parts - that this kind of stuff is doable at home. I didn't even know you could connect 4 different GPU's to a system. Nice.
  18. You'd need to look at your thermals before doing that, if anything reaches high 80s/90s then you might wanna try that.
  19. Agree with post above, for most circumstances i've found its cheaper to just run an ethernet cable rather than buy an expensive router.
  20. 99% confident that it isn't.
  21. As long as the pins all make contact theres no reason it shouldn't work, it's probably fine.
