Not asking for any help but I figured I’d pass along something that worked for me. I have an H115i RGB Platinum and had issues with it randomly not showing in iCue. I was also getting constant device connect/disconnect alerts from Windows. These would cause freezes in at least one game (MSFS2020) and annoy the hell out of me. The H115i was connected to a Commander Pro so I assumed that was not the issue. Turns out it was. I picked up a NZXT internal USB hub, hooked the H115i to it, and problem is solved. Hope this helps other folks with the same issue.

I have an SX8100 4TB NVMe drive I purchased in February that is failing. It will randomly not appear on my listed drives, and when it does appear I will often not be able to read/write to it. I've tested it in my motherboard's built in M.2 drive as well as a PCIe M.2 card to no avail. The fact that it is failing isn't where I'm having the issue. I'm trying to register the drive on the ADATA website to RMA it but I am not able to register it. I get a "Registration Failed" window when I try to register it and an "undefined" message when I just try to check the warranty status. Has anyone had any experience using their site to handle warranty/RMA and did anyone get it to work? Looking at the browser console it looks like they're getting a bad response from a google server. Would appreciate any other ideas as to how to get the RMA process started.

For those wondering about NVLink/SLI from the NVIDIA website: 3090/3080/3070

Thanks for all the ideas. I'll have to test them Computer identifies as Australian so its rightside up lol. I tried with no ram and did get the RAM LED. WIth one and both sticks the RAM LED went out. Didn't get the RAM LED staying on for any configuration of RAM/slots. Unfortunately after that I only get the Boot_Device_LED staying red. Don't have any spare parts at the moment but I figure if I run out of things to test without spending money I'll start with getting a new PSU (advice on a good one would be awesome), then Motherboard (where can I get older hardware at a good price), and if I'm still having issues I'll either try a new CPU or just build a new computer when I have the money. I'll definitely try a different outlet, really wishing I had a nice UPS for clean power. I just moved to a new place a few weeks ago so that is definitely a possibility. Not certain about the monitors but if they both died at the same time I'll be quite sad. I'll definitely try testing it on a known good TV. When I reseated the CPU I did check for bent pins and everything looked fine.

While playing a game a week ago my computer randomly crashed. As it was late I went to bed and didn't think about it. A couple days later I went to start my computer again to no avail. While everything seemed to get power I had no video output. This setup has been running steady for ~3 years. I have been running the computer with an overclock since I installed the H115i ~2 years ago, mostly it has been at 4.8-4.9 GHz. It was overclocked using the built in ASUS utility. Any help with this would be appreciated. I'll try to be as detailed as possible below. (PS: I swear I'm not a Corsair Fanboy) Setup: CPU: 4790k Motherboard: Asus Z97-AR Memory: Patriot G2 DDR3 2x8gb (1333MHZ I think) Cooler: Corsair H115i Case: Corsair 600c Inverse ATX Power Supply: Corsair RM 850 (90% sure thats right) GPU: MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X 6G Drives: PNY 460GB SSD Samsung 860 EVO 500GB 2 TB HDD 3 TB HDD Monitors: 2x ASUS VG248QE PCIe Cards: 2 USB expansion cards Symptoms: Random shutdown Motherboard Boot LED's: Boot Device LED stays red Beep Codes: Without Keyboard: 1 Long, 4 Short, Pause, 1 Short With Keyboard: 1 Short No video output to either monitor Case and cooler fans spin, keyboard and mouse get power No POST screen PSU fan does not spin on startup, not sure if it usually does Troubleshooting: So far I have tried just about everything I can think of short of breadboxing because I haven't had a chance to pull out the motherboard and cooler. I have removed everything besides the CPU, Motherboard and PSU. I have tested both sticks of RAM in every slot individually. I have unplugged everything from the USB ports and tried with just the keyboard and/or mouse. I have removed all PCIe cards. I have plugged each monitor into the motherboard directly using both HDMI and DisplayPort. I have reseated the CPU. I have ensured there is no wires shorting anywhere and there is no metal shorting between the motherboard and case. I have unplugged the front panel USB ports. I've tried with and without GPU and still no video output. I've cleared the CMOS several times. I've replaced the CMOS battery. My Ideas: My primary suspects right now are motherboard or PSU. I wasn't thinking PSU until tonight when I finally got a motherboard speaker and could listen to the beep codes. I want to get other peoples' opinions before I buy any parts. If it is the motherboard I'm not even sure where to buy a compatible motherboard anymore that isn't ridiculously expensive. Attached is a random picture of the computer in question because reasons.
