    hey guys! i seem to be running into so issues installing windows on my new Samsung evo 970 m.2 nvme. i opend my pc and removed the old transcend SATA m.2 and installed the new Samsung nvme m.2, unplugged all other harddrives from the MB and poped in my bootable USB with win 10 pro. all goes well until u need to format the m.2 sothat windows can install, i keep getting a 0x80004005 error. i did some searching and its said that a windows file is missing.... even though i have used the usb multiple times before. so i search for a guide on a fresh windows install on a m.2 and found that there are some things i need to change in the bios. these are what i changed (MB is an MSI z170a Tomahawk) - settings/ advanced/ integrated peripherals/ SATA Mode i chanded from Raid (as i dont want to run a raid setup) to AHCI as per the guide. - settings/ advanced/ windows OS Configuration, here i disabled fast boot and both support for win 10 and win 7 installation as the guid said to use "Other OS" and i dont have that option. now before we go any further i tried enabling win 10 in wich case i cant get past the bios to try and install windows how ever is i enable win 7 i can get windows to load but get stuck at that error. please see image below any advice is appreciated.

    hey guys I need some help with a mining rig that we build. Specs. MB: Asus mining expert https://uae.microless.com/product/asus-b250-mining-expert-19-slot-motherboard/ Ram: Crucial 32GB DDR4 CPU: Intel Pentium G4400 PSU: 4x Coolermaster 1200w SSD: HP 120GB 13X xfxRX580 8GB (all Samsung memory) so we BIOS flashed all the cards and tried getting them to work on windows... turns out windows only supports 8 GPUs (who knew) anyway after playing around with some AMD drivers we got a total of 11 working but windows was very unstable... not that it matters as we only used windows to create a EthOs boot drive this solved the majority of our problems... after a couple of tries and a bit of research on google we had the system running but then this keeps happening.... any ideas why? we checked all risers and PSU they are fine only the one gpu that keeps doing this . we are using sgminer gm xmr btw

    This could be possible as the old screen refuse to work even when it's plugged in alone... even though it works fine with my laptop that rocks an 770m

    im using display port for the Asus and then an HDMI to VGA converter for the flatron... just to be sure i tried with a DVI to VGA converter

    Hi all I can't seem to get my dual monitor setup working. my main display is an Asus PG24.... something lol it's a 24" 180Hz panel that works just fine I'm trying to connect my much older LG flatron w2234s as a second option but it's not being detected at all.... even if I change the display settings back to 60Hz, I have checked that the screen works on other machines and tried doing driver updated for my GTX 970 as well.... as for drivers and firmware for the LG... well lets say it's not supported anymore. I'm running an X99 setup with Windows 10 pro and don't understand why it's not working... any advice?

    i cant take it back the the place i bought it... i got it second hand.... although i know it was working because i was using it for a long time... i guess i could send it to corsair but i live in dubai so that will not only be expensive but very time consuming as well
  13. smokeyvandenberg
    its brand new just bought it an hour ago... so i would hope it works.. lol although it a quite addition so no fans spin and there is no indicator LED
  14. smokeyvandenberg
    its not swithing on with just MB or MB + CPU pwr only
  15. smokeyvandenberg
    so the moment i pulled out the CPU power i get a second LED that flashes

    So ill stick to this board then.... u guys know where I can buy a MB tray for the corsair 900d?
  24. smokeyvandenberg
    i have took this into consideration.... although there is only a monoblock for this so the "southbridge" (cant remember what the new name is) has to remain air cooled

    Hey guys I want to give boteque building a shot an thought that my MB might need an upgrade to support full watercooling. My specs currently: Case: Corsair Graphite 780t full tower (white)PSU: Corsair RM750I MB: Asus x99 Strix Gaminghttps://youtu.be/nmWHlOnOMdICPU: Intel core i7 5820k (overclocked 4.3GHz)CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i v2 AIO water coolerhttps://youtu.be/89oqsT-XJ0MRAM: Kingston HyperX 16GB (4x4Gb @2666MHz)GPU: MSI GTX 970M.2: Samsung 950 evo (256GB)SSD: Kingston HyperX (480GB)HDD: WesterDigital 2TB Black so my question is to what do i upgrade? im planning on building in the corsair 900D.... i was thinking to get the asus rampage v edition 10, but it seems a bit over prices..
