  1. If I enable CSM in the bios then I am able to read that the drive is there, however I cannot boot to it even when I set it to the priority drive, my computer asks me to insert bootable media.
  2. I manually installed windows 10 on the 980pro and was able to read the old windows install drive in windows, however when I attempted to clone it using AOMEI backup, it said I needed to restart my system so I click yes and nothing happens after that. I’m very confused as to what’s happening with my pc.
  3. I recently purchased a 2tb 980 pro for my pc. I know my processor and motherboard support it but when I put it in my system, not only does my pc not boot from the Sata SSD install of windows I have, but all of my drives vanish in the bios. I’m using an asus b550 gaming wifi mobo with a 5900x and drives in sata Ports 1-4 on the motherboard understanding that m.2 connections disable 5 and 6. Any help would be much appreciated, I’m hoping to clone my sata install over to the 980 pro. Thanks in advance!
  4. My parents and some close friends of mine also lost their homes in this exact same Fire... seeing this warms my heart... thank you Linus and Craft Computing for such an uplifting gesture to a member of my community :). On a different note, some friends and I did a similar thing for our friend who lost his home. All inspired by this video kindness is contagious when it’s from someone you look up to. Thanks again guys
  5. Though we did this back in mid September, LTT's recent video on getting a fire victim a new pc inspired me to share this with everyone This is the reddit post about it. WARNING there is some swearing kids.
  6. Server wise i have the fastest machine and most centralized and fastest internet for my friends and I run a multitude of servers whenever we want to game together. servers consist of minecraft (modded and vanilla), mordhau, and rust but I'd like to allow room for other games down the line as well. As for GPU I'm running a GTX 1080 currently. I also have 32 Gigs of 3400MHz ram in my system if that matters at all
  7. I've been trying to decide between a 10700k and a 3900x. not sure which one would yield better performance for gaming and streaming, or gaming and running a game server on the same rig. If anyone has any other ideas on an upgrade path let me know please , I will say i do game at 1440p if that changes anything
  8. Can someone tell me what the best WiFi extender would be fore the building I work in? The walls have metal in them and the WiFi we currently have only goes about 15 ft down the hall, it needs to go another 20 feet or so... Any help would be appreciated! :)
  9. Well damn that’s annoying, so just stick with the cable in the box if I can is what you’re saying?
  10. I just purchased an Elgato he 60s capture card and was wondering if I would benefit from using a type c to type c cable over the type c to type A that comes with the card, thanks!
  11. For some reason i’m unable to change my backlight on my tv, when I go into picture settings, backlight appears but when I go to select it the cursor just skips over it, there is also no slider bar underneath it anymore I used to be able to but I can’t anymore, it’s stuck very dim so this is very annoying to me. Any advice would be helpful model is TOSHIBA_43LF621U19 uploaded a video of the issue, I’ve tried resetting picture settings and going into advanced settings for this but nothing has fixed it so far, all I can think of is a factory reset but i’d rather not do that if possible CDC6D4A4-1093-406F-BD81-675AAC15A930.MOV
  12. 265W is definitely not enough for a 1050ti let alone any desktop (biggest money saving technique for manufactures is getting the lowest wattage power supply for the build possible). I'd go for at least a 500W power supply and recommend a 650W. EVGA tends to be 'the best' for Nvidia cards in my opinion, though you'd probably be okay with either not sure on the dimensions of the asus one anyway. And yes no external power will be needed for those cards though i'd recommend finding a card that needs external power for that motherboard. Shouldn't be any issues with adding the ram as long as there are slots available and it's clocked at the same speed!

    1440p

    You could probably watch videos at 1440p lol, I'f you're thinking of gaming though I'd be sure the monitor you're getting has really good upscaling because you'll be running most if not all your games at 1080p if you want to get 60fps
  15. Oof how did we both miss the fact that its an APU, also yeah if you don't play kingdom hearts you should be good, by the way be sure you're able to transfer your windows 10 key over to a different motherboard if you want to have it activated
  16. I think you'd be able to run this on an external monitor that uses G Sync in the future as well, If you were interested in that, that way you'd still be able to game at home with buttery smooth Gsync. I could be wrong though, I'd look into that If you were interested
  17. Glad we could help! Enjoy your safe temp gaming!
  18. Inner me answering: No because Kingdom Hearts 3 Logical me answering: If you want to! You won't be able to run too many games without a dedicated gpu but CSGO should be able to run okay on low settings! Also building computers is super fun and rewarding! Don't forget to factor in windows in your cost as well
  19. Correction, dell tech support isn't THAT bad... if you spend an extra 400 dollars on the laptop for their highest warranty lol, got on site service for a dead pixel on my xps 15 and got a sticky keyboard replaced. I see what you're saying though... wish the people over the phone were a little more technically inclined and didn't have to follow so many protocols to fix one simple problem... That's generally the problem with the tech support industry as a whole though. P.S. Let us know when/how you fix the problem! I'm sure it would be helpful in the future and save people from a lot of trouble
  20. P65 Creator 8RF (White Limited Edition) This laptop allows for an additional m.2 storage upgrade as well, I might pick it up and grab a 2TB NVME SSD (NO CLUNKY HARD DRIVE YAY!!!) for around 500$, that puts you at 32 GB ram, 2.5 TB of SSD Storage, GTX 1070 8GB only thing missing in this laptop is G sync... that puts you right at 2500$ If G Sync is a big thing for you then don't go with this one. By the way, Keyboard and battery life is pretty good on this laptop too, it's also not ultra gamered out so you can use it in public without getting too many funny looks
  21. Its possible that it's a ram issue as well, if you've got multiple sticks of ram try switching the configurations around (running with one stick in each slot until it boots) to check for dead slots on the motherboard or sticks of ram itself, double and triple check to be sure they're seated correctly, also check for any bent pins on the processor just to be safe (do this as a lat resort obviously just because its annoying to take out). Keep in mind this stuff happens to me all the time when I build pc's so I feel your pain, best of luck to you both.
  22. Perhaps this page might help with the issue? https://www.lifewire.com/43-errors-explained-2619238 sorry if you've already tried these fixes
  23. I'm sure you did this, but if the power supply is modular, check to be sure it's plugged in on both ends? I'm 90% sure that it's a CPU power issue though as that restart occurs if the computer boots and is unable to make it past certain point in the boot process. Also check to be sure that your motherboard isn't showing any diagnostic codes on it or via beeps. Can you post the parts of your system?
  24. Not sure if this fits your needs as far as vertical mounting, or as far as "cube" is concerned as most cases are shaped like various sized cubes lol That being said... here's what I found! Thermaltake Core V21 SPCC Micro ATX Cube Computer Chassis CA-1D5-00S1WN-00 https://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Computer-Chassis-Pre-installed-CA-1D5-00S1WN-00/dp/B00PDDMN6S?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_2 not sure on the price of it there
  25. Sounds to me like your power supply isn't supplying power to the processor. Happened to me on my first build... Just check to be sure the cable supplying power to your CPU is plugged into your motherboard properly.
