    Update: Tried all components back in origional motherboard, 5600X still works so haven't broken it yet which is good! Did a BIOS upgrade (to the same version though? Was already at latest), still didn't work. Kinda at a loss here, don't know what other troubleshooting steps to go through...

    Reseated CPU again now, same issue. Tried different RAM sticks, haven't tried different slots but again it boots with the other CPU. Maybe will try that now.

    I don't know if the board has a beeper, but the post lights are on for CPU and Memory and off for VGA and Boot

    Yep, was all working prior to swap. Only thing thats change is mobo, but the thing that is confusing me is that it posts with the 3200G so not a dead motherboard outright.

    Hi all, Just bought a remanufactured Asrock Phantom Gaming 4 X570 motherboard to swap my old Asus Prime B450M-A for (so it can go in a second system). However, upon swapping all the components over, it will not post with that CPU installed. It has the CPU and Memory lights on on the board and just seems to power on for a minute or so then stop and immediatly power itself back on. There is no display output (off the GTX1060) during this. However, when I installed my old 3200G into it (took it out of the case and just test benched it with an old Enermax 400W PSU and stock cooler), it posts fine with the onboard graphics (even booted into windows). I checked with this CPU and the BIOS is running the latest version. I then put the 5600X and GPU back into the system (thinking maybe just needed reseating) and it continued to do the same thing. I then swapped the 2 sticks of Corsair RAM for a single 8gb stick of Crucial ram at 2666mhz, same issue. If I remove the GPU (try to post without a display at all, not sure if this is even allowed on a chip without an iGPU), the issue still persists in the same manner. I attempted to clear the CMOS with the 5600X installed by turning it off and holding a screwdriver to the CMOS clear jumpers for 3 seconds, however, it hasn't seemed to do anything either. The only thing I am changing from the previous system to this one is the motherboard. All other components were known working (not to say I haven't killed anything while swapping the boards, though I don't think so). Anyone got any ideas? Trying not to keep swapping the CPU in and out to prevent using a ton of thermal paste.

    Hi All, I have a Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic that already has six fans in it (three top intakes and three side exhausts, not the best config for temps I know, but I like the look better). I am looking to upgrade from the stock cooler on my Ryzen 5600x to a Cooler Master MasterLiquid Lite ML360L. I am not overclocking the CPU, but want a quieter system and a better look. What would be the best fan configuration for this? I currently have an aircooled GTX 1060 6GB (but in the future could see something a lot more power hungry in there). I would like to keep the look of the side exhaust look of my fans (looks cleaner imo without the supports and sticker showing) even if this costs me a few degrees. My other question, would be what headers on my motherboard would I plug everything into? It seems like the AIO includes a fan hub, but my motherboard (an Asus Prime B450M-A) only has a single CPU fan header and two case fan headers. The current config for this is each set of three fans on a case fan header and the CPU fan on the CPU fan header. What is the best way to wire this now that there is another set of fans and a pump involved? Cheers, Dark_Llama

    Hi all, I started getting random BSODs a few weeks back, the errors were generally different every time however they all seemed to have memory as a possible problem. So knowing that I wanted to upgrade my ram anyways I bought a 2x16gb kit of Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro SL for my system. However now that I have put that it, I am still getting these errors. I have reinstalled windows twice and remade the USB installer in between installs. PC Specs: Windows 10 Pro AMD 3200G Gigabyte 1060 6GB Gaming Asus Prime B450M-A Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro SL 3600MHz Kingston A2000 1TB Cooler Master MWE 450 Bronze Just updated my BIOS. Crashes and locks seemed to happen even just after fresh install. Happens more frequently under load. Seen the following BSOD error codes recently: windows critical process died kernel security check failure driver irql not less or equal driver overran stack buffer page fault in nonpaged area critical process died Attached below is the recommended BSOD sysnative file, I couldn't get the resource and performance monitor to run, it just hung on the collecting data for 60 seconds screen even after leaving it for quite some time.

    Hi All, I have been wanting to upgrade the memory in my system for a while and am looking at 2x16GB sticks of Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro SL 3600MHz. I currently have a Asus Prime B450M-A (yes I know the VRMs are not great, whatever I already have it) and a 3200G (I am looking to go to a Ryzen 7 or 9 in the future, hence the 3600MHz ram). Is this a compatible config? The board has conflicing info online where some places say I can run up to 4400MHz, some skip 3600MHz off the list or whatnot. Is this also a good buy on the ram? Its on sale currently for 240USD. Cheers, Dark_Llama Sorry if this is the wrong category as well, didn't know what was most applicable.

    Sweet, thanks for everything! Looks like that CPU upgrade is going to come sooner than expected!

    My Athlon is a placeholder for a planned eventual upgrade to a Ryzen 7. I do lots of 3D, Video and Photo work so want the extra speed. If I upgrade to a Ryzen, will I also need to perform the steps Kisai mentioned above? Thanks for all your help, would have never figured it out!
  11. Dark_Llama
    Ah bugger, but if I upgrade the CPU to a Ryzen, it will work?

    My SSD isn't even showing in the BIOS, will this affect it?
  13. Dark_Llama
    Oh really? I have seen things that say reduced bandwidth due to less PCIe lanes, but haven't seen anything saying no support at all. Have you got a reference for this?

    Hello everyone, I am giving my PC an upgrade and I bought a new SSD. It's a Kingston A2000 1tb NVMe drive. However I can't install windows on it or even see it in the BIOS. Can anyone help me? My System Specs are as follows AMD 200GE Asus B450M-A (On latest BIOS) Gigabyte GTX 1060 6GB G1 Gaming Kingston A2000 1tb NVMe Hitachi Ultrastar 1tb HDD Cooler Master MWE Bronze 450W PSU I am swapping my new SSD in place of a Segate 500gb HDD and a 60gb SATA Kingston SSD. I have tried unplugging the Hitachi, updating the BIOS, and reseating the NVMe drive to no avail. EDIT - I am just trying to reinstall Windows 10 Pro, I am not trying to clone over anything. The SSD won't show up in that installer, or once it was installed on the Hitachi (it is not going to be the boot drive, just testing if it would show up) Thanks

    Hey all, I'm on the hunt for a second monitor for my setup, currently, I have a Samsung 21.5 inch 1920x1080 60hz one. I do some casual gaming, and quite a bit of 3D and video production stuff, I don't need to worry about colour as I'm not a professional (mostly hobby and school stuff) and on a tight budget. I did want an IPS panel for the viewing angles though. So I found this, the LG 24MK430H-B 24" IPS LED Monitor. It seems a good buy, I intend to use this as my primary display with the bigger screen size and 75hz refresh rate. Has anyone used it? Anything else I should consider? If you are recommending other monitors, I want a vesa compatible, at least as big as my current Side note I live in NZ so Shipping from Amazon and that is almost as much as the product sometimes! Our main computer parts retailer is PB Tech and they have it listed for around $180 NZD or $120 USD. Side note 2 - I have an Nvidia GPU so I don't care about AMD freesync, but I'm also not a hardcore gamer or whatever so I just lock my framerate at whatever the panel is capable of. Thanks Dark_Llama
