  1. One thing I wasnt sure about. The mobo had 1 x 8 pin and 1 x 4 pin CPU connectors. Can I just use 2 x 4 pins in the 8 pin and half of an 8 pin in the 4 pin ? My 8 pin PSU CPU cables are split into 2 x 4 pins. Please. Im quite upset and anxious actually but trying to keep a smile on my face.
  2. It not Windows. Although I have had problems with it in the past. The last test I did the SSD wasnt connected. I got a Sabrient NVMe. Its working fine on this spare PC Im currently having to use. All the was connected other than the PSU with the last test was the CPU and RAM. Other than the PSU of course.
  3. I upgraded from an AMD AM3 system that I had for ten years. I got a Ryzen 5 3rd gen and a decent X570 board. The system was giving me trouble since I first got it from Amazon and put it together. The other day I was playing Doom then went to sleep. About 30 mins later I woke up to my computer spinning up and down trying to boot and never able to. As far as I was concerned it should have been sleeping but it must of had issues and tried to reboot or something. Once I switched it on an off again the LED light on the board was going orange to red and not booting. The CPU fan was on and the GPU fan plus the MSI logo was on the card but the light by the two power sockets for the card were not lighting up. I switched out the RAM, GPU and PSU to test them with an older Intel system I had spare and they all seemed OK. Its what I am using now to type this. Not very good for gaming though as its quite an old Intel CPU and Motherboard combination. Since the rest of the parts seem OK I guessing it has to be the X570 or the Ryzen 5 that is the problem, I think. Since I bought them from Amazon I may be able to return them I just dont know which one to return. Please, any help would be REALLY appreciated. Need my computer for work, not just gaming, got a kid to feed. CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 Mobo: Asus TUF x570 GPU: Vega 56 RAM: Corsair 3200 2x16 (32GB) PSU: EVGA 750 GQ (Gold)
  4. I wish I read this before buying them. The sound quality is brilliant but the mic cost about 10 pence from China and the cable looks curlier than the spaghetti I had for dinner. They are criminally bad. Don't buy them.
