Hello! I was editing a video and noticed that popping sounds appear at random points. It is not because a clip is transitioning suddenly into another clip. Also, there are no popping/clicking sounds in the raw footage. It is really strange to me because the popping seems constant. For instance, if I play a clip that is, let's say 6 seconds long and it pops 3 seconds in, when I go back to the clip to re-play it, it will pop in the same exact spot. Also, the popping sometimes goes away. It reminds me of an under run issue that I had in a music creation software, which introduced similar pops. I have tried switching to NME from ASIO, changing buffer sizes, switching off my Focusrite Scarlett audio interface, and using onboard sound, but nothing seems to work. Please let me know if y'all can help me with my situation. Thanks!!!! I am using adobe premiere pro 2020 for reference.

also, I took off my m.2 ssd because I finally received some m.2 screws from amazon, and then put it back in (if this would do anything).

Hello everyone, as the title implies, I recently cleaned my cpu and heatsink (got rid of the thermal paste), because I wanted to install a thermal pad. In order to do this, I took off the CPU from the motherboard because I wanted to clean the sides of the CPU (since poor thermal paste application led to the grease spilling over to the sides). After this whole process, I booted and continued to use the PC normally. I however noticed that I wasn't getting the framerates I got before (by a margin of around 10). It wasn't a huge dip in performance, but I thought something was wrong. So, I looked in task manager and found that my ram was running at 2667 MHZ instead of the 3200 MHZ I set it to. So, I booted into the bios and the bios greeted me with a message: "Clear CMOS information: BIOS has been reset. Please re-config your BIOS setup items if needed". I then had to re-enable XMP and now my RAM runs at 3200 MHZ. With all this being said, should I be worried of anything? Or is this a normal thing when taking off a cpu from the socket (which I assume would clear the BIOS because it happened to me). Thanks!

yes so I am now running on my new system! Thanks for your help :) so I basically removed everything and tried the bios flashback with a barebones system. However, I tried booting after updating and it didn't work. After further inspection, I noticed that my cpu power cable wasn't plugged in properly so I seated it again. This then allowed the system to post. This was really weird though since a bios update required the cpu power, so I am wondering how it was able to update. Well, it worked so I guess I have nothing to worry about!

I think I have to take off the cpu, gpu, and ram and try updating the bios with nothing plugged in. Cause apparently gigabyte doesn’t let you flash the bios unless there is no cpu

No there are no indicators or any beeps

Ok I just rebooted and also plugged in a monitor, no post

Awesome! I am trying right now and will get back to you shortly, thanks so much

Oh so it wouldn’t permanently harm my system? I guess it is worth a try then

Yup it isn’t! The system seems to be on with no flashing, only the fans are spinning and the rgb lights are on

Yes that is what I did! . I used the q flash on my motherboard

I will try that, hope it doesn’t brick

Hello! So I just finished building my ryzen 5600x and Rtx 3070 build. My motherboard is a b550 Aorus Elite which requires a bios update to support my cpu. This, AFTER building the system, I performed a q flash which is gigabytes version of a bios flashback. Note: I did the flashback with the full system and not with just the motherboard and psu because I heard that it will work either way. so, when I hit the flashback button, my pc “booted” or at least turned on, and the led indicator for the bios update started flashing. my graphics card rgb also turned on. Also all the fans in my system were obviously spinning. The bios flashback seems to be completed since the blinking led is not longer blinking or on. thus, I thought that my pc would reboot or turn off, but it is staying at this state. As mentioned before, all rgb and fans are spinning but nothing else is happening. All that changed was the led indicator which used to be blinking but is now off. Also the motherboard rgb turned on when this happened. so I’m now wondering if I should hold down the power button to shut down the pc, or if I should keep on waiting. Out of curiosity, I plugged some monitors in but there is no signal on both. Thanks!

oh i see, so i should be fine?

Hello everyone, I know that the title may be quite confusing, so let me try to break down my thoughts. I currently have a ryzen 5 3600 but I will soon be building a new pc for myself, with a ryzen 5 5600x processor. This will be an entire separate system from the one I have right now. All my parts for my new system are here besides the cpu, thus, I was wondering if I can use my ryzen 5 3600 in my new build without worrying about performance hitches down the line. What I mean by this is that will using the ryzen 5 3600 hinder any performance when I install the ryzen 5 5600x at a later time, or will the ryzen 5 5600x run like new when it replaces my ryzen 5 3600. I feel like this is quite a ridiculous question, but I am worried because I do not know exactly how chipset drivers and all these systems work. I know that I have to update my bios when I install my old ryzen 5 3600 and update the chipset drivers, but I will also have to do the same for my newer cpu. Thus, I am worried that these drivers and updates may potentially cause issues, especially towards performance/fps. thanks!
