  1. I built my new Ryzen 5 system, the first boot everything worked fine but it told me to reinstall Windows. I was able to go into the bios and prepare the system for a Windows 10 install. I go to reboot it and now the PC won't post at all. The fans and hard drive spins up, the RGB turns on, but nothing. No POST at all. I tried booting it with a single stick of RAM but nope. I tried unplugging everything, including the CPU but to no avail. I also tried resetting CMOS using the screwdriver method and pulling out the battery. No luck. The PC worked once so I am confused as to what's wrong. Also, on the mobo, there is a red light that doesn't go away and it points to the CPU being an issue?! Here are my specs: Ryzen 5 3600 MSI B450m Mortar Max (Ryzen 3000 ready) Corsair 3200mhz RGB Pro 16gb EVGA White 80+ 500w GTX 1070 I have just now installed my old H81m-s2h and I5 4460 and that set up works fine so it can't be a PSU issue, right? Thanks. Image of the build https://imgur.com/a/8tIjcXi Here is the red light https://imgur.com/a/RFZibNF Edit: Also, when the PC worked once, on the BIOS everything checked out. It recognised my RAM, CPU, GPU, MOBO etc. Edit 2: Thank you for your response guys, i emailed the retailer and they will take the board back for testing. Will report back on what happens.
  2. Good day! I am upgrading from my old i5 4460 to this set-up. MSI B450M MORTAR MAX AMD RYZEN 5 3600 NON X My question is which RAM would be more suitable for this particular set up, This: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07N3W1T21/?tag=pcp0f-21 - Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16 (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16) Or This: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0143UM4TC/?tag=pcpapi-20 - Patriot Memory Viper Steel Series DDR4 16GB (2 x 8GB) 3600MHz (PVS416G360C7K) I will mostly play AAA games, do the occasional video render, and multi-task between apps like several chrome tabs, a virtual machine, and the like. Is it a worth it upgrade to the Patriot sticks or shall i stick with the Corsair? Thanks.
  3. try different slots? worst case scenario is dead ram stick. return it if you can.
  4. the gpu was bought from amazon a month ago and it was a used but "very good" condition unit. the psu is merely 3 years old and was bought brand new. i reinstalled windows, ran ddu, installed latest drivers. same problem also, i thought the psu was half decent, as it was by evga and was 80plus.
  5. yes, a clean install will. what laptop in particular is it?
  6. So when i go to run a heavy load on my gpu such as a benchmark or a graphically intensive game, my entire pc locks up and restarts itself with my monitor losing signal. i try to diagnose this problem the best i could and i feel that it's either the gpu or psu. for example, i go to run 3dmark time spy on my gpu, the test runs until it reaches the latter stages and the pc restarts then. i then ran the test on my iGPU and it completes no problem, no restart. While playing a game like gta 5, the pc restarts 15 mins in. also to note, performance and graphics quality still look normal which makes me wonder if the gpu is fine but the psu is failing? it's just the pc restarts under heavy gfx load. BUT, i underclocked the gpu (-250mhz core+mem) for further testing and benchmarks worked fine!? specs: rx 580 nitro+ SE 8gb 1x6 pin + 1x8pin 500w evga white 80 plus i5 4460 / 12gb ram / h81m-s2h mobo p.s, this issue started recently as when i first got the gpu, everything worked fine, i was able to run benchmarks etc all fine. (sorry for formatting)
  7. both ram's have a clock speed of 1600mhz. i suppose the computer will automatically match the clocks?
  8. Hi, quick question. will ram 1 (8gb) work fine with ram 2 (4gb) in my motherboard for gaming at ultra settings? ram 1: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/8GB-1x8GB-Memory-RAM-Desktop-DDR3-PC3-12800-1600-Mhz-240-pin-DIMM/232546227842 ram 2: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004CRSM48/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 mobo: gigabyte h81m-s2h thanks!
  9. i just did some comparisons and the timespy score puts me above a gtx 760 and slightly below a gtx 770. i suppose this is good.
  10. i would love to know ur thoughts tho. thanks for the reply tho.
  11. Is this a good score? Just got the GPU and would love to know your thoughts on it. Thanks. I5 4460 GTX 670 Windforce 3x H81M-S2H mobo EVGA 500w psu 8gb Ram
  12. Thanks for the help guys. The ram just came and so far, everything seems to work fine. Here is a picture from the bios. Can you all just check to make sure everything is optimum? Thanks alot!

  14. Can you tell me the model number of both sticks of ram? i wanna see what is the latency, speed and voltage. maybe the problem is they're different spec'd?
