    my ram is the CMH32GX4M4E3200C16W. Looks like it doesn't show up on the search bar... might have to take it to microcenter or something to double check and diagnose the problem

    Idle my cpu is around 29-33c and gpu is in the 40c range. In game for more cpu intensive ones my cpu ranges around 45-55c and gpu is 60-70c so nothing too alarming there. Here's my 3dmark results with temps and everything if it helps: https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/78462528 Also can you let me know where you found the QVL list for your motherboard? Mine is the Asus Strix Z690-A but I can't seem to find it

    do you know where I can find the QVL list? I've tried looking on the Asus website but so far nothing

    hmm I'll definitely look into my ram. Although I do doubt the monitor is the problem since it can't force my computer to restart during a game right?

    is there any way I can test to see which part that's causing it to fail? I've downloaded all the latest drivers and everything. This only happens when I play a game though. Average daily tasks run fine. I did run a gpu benchmark on 3D Mark last night and everything seemed fine (idk if that means anything).

    I built my new pc around the start of June and never had any problems until the last two weeks. Every game I would play would crash after 20-30 minutes of playing. Sometimes it would close the program and sometimes it would just restart the whole computer. I haven't overclocked any component of my pc yet but I did find out that I wasn't supposed to run my 3070ti off of one split daisy chain (connected to an 850w power supply) and fixed it immediately with 2 daisy chain 8 pin pcie daisy chain connectors. However, the problem is still there and my games would either freeze for a split second and crash or turn red black and blue and restart my whole computer. Does anyone know what's going on? Please help These are my specs: 12900k, 32gb DDR4 3200 C16, Asus Strix Z690-A, Gigabyte 3070ti vision oc, Corsair rm850 psu

    I'm using the usb drive that came with my windows 10 bundle a few years back for my first pc build and figured it might work again here. Is that the problem? Someone also said to use rufus (not really sure what that does exactly)

    I'm trying to do a clean windows install on my new pc but every time I insert my windows usb drive, it'll display the typical asus rog logo ("DEL to enter UEFI setting") and then shows a black screen and I can't enter bios the entire time. I tried setting the "OS Type" to "Other OS" under "Boot/Secure Boot" but the same thing happens. If I set "OS Type" to Windows UEFI, booting up will display the "Secure Boot Violation" screen and I'll have to do a force shut off. I also heard somewhere that someone had success by enabling CSM but when I do that, the monitor won't turn on. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I just want to get windows installed and working.

    Sorry I'm a bit new to this stuff so I need help. I'm booting up my pc for the first time and I'm trying to get windows installed but I can't seem to make selections for boot priorities. I'm using the Asus Strix z690-A and a Samsung 980 nvme ssd as my main and only storage device. When I access Boot > Boot Option Priorities there's no drop down despite despite the ssd showing up in Advanced > Advanced/NVMe controller and Drive information. Does anyone know what's wrong?

    I tried doing it flat but it seems like it's hitting something in the case. I don't think it's hitting the board but it is a really small gap between the board and the case

    Might be just a dumb error on my part but I can't figure out what's happening. I tried sliding my gpu into the pcie slot but before the gpu can reach it, the left side of the gpu's pcie mounting bracket seems to be hitting something. I tried taking out all of the expansion slots but the same thing keeps happening. It's feeling like the bottom where the two metal prongs of the gpu are snagging on something. I'm not sure if the picture helps but this is what's happening.

    does it prioritize certain devices since my iPad has more consistent download speeds than my macbook?
  13. SneakySquid9
    It's kind of alarming to see how my internet speed would fluctuate that much. Sometimes my macbook is so slow it can't even load a video at 240p.
  14. SneakySquid9
    My Macbook pro 16" is showing completely different download speeds vs my iPad. The laptop is relatively new and the only programs I have installed are spotify and chrome. I ran my tests on https://www.speedtest.net/ with the same server on both devices. On my iPad, the download speed is 79.48 mbps vs 59.65 mbps on my macbook. Sometimes the download speed on my macbook pro has reached 2 mbps and fluctuates tremendously. Is there a specific reason for this?
  15. SneakySquid9
    Lol yea your suspicion was right it was Spotify activating it for some reason. Currently it says that Spotify has the biggest energy impact out of all of them which is pretty interesting.

    Looks like my graphics card is active! I was so confused why my new MacBook Pro is consuming so much power. Thanks for the informative post I'm pretty new to macOS and I'm planning on using it for college cuz I've heard it's reliable. So far my battery has only gone through about 4 full cycles so I'm hoping to see some better battery performance.
  17. SneakySquid9
    Yea I've been making sure to fully quit out of apps to test the battery life but still only about 6 hours of usage (only web surf, Netflix, YouTube, and Spotify for now) from a full charge until it completely shuts down. Not sure if there's something wrong with the battery itself or the system itself is consuming too much power. My status bar is completely empty as well so there definitely isn't anything else running.

    I am currently using Safari. I don't really have much in the background except maybe Spotify and my screen brightness is default so around 50%. Honestly I'd expect double the battery life I currently have but for some reason it's draining pretty quick.
  19. SneakySquid9
    I just got the 16 inch MacBook Pro and so far I have noticed that the battery drains faster than the advertised duration. So far, my 100 watt hour battery lasts 5-6 hours on a full charge but Apple says that it should last up to 11 hours. I know that these advertised numbers vary based on the applications that I'm running but all I've done so far is web surf on safari and watch YouTube videos. Does anyone know if that's normal?

    Hello, I currently have a 1TB hard drive installed on my desktop as my sole storage device but I want to add an SSD as the boot drive. Is it as easy as plugging it in and install windows with a USB? Will I still keep all of my programs and applications on the hard drive and just use it as a secondary storage device? I'm not sure how I should do this and I'm worried that I might lose all of my data on my hard drive.
  21. SneakySquid9
    Thank you so much for your help!
  22. SneakySquid9
    Thank You! All I have to do is tell windows to boot off of the ssd when I go through the set up process.Thing is, would my license still work?
  23. SneakySquid9
    ok so if i install windows on it then what would happen to the windows already existing on the HDD? In file explorer I can just drag and drop applications from the HDD to the SSD right?
  24. SneakySquid9
    I'm currently thinking about getting this ssd for the price: https://www.amazon.com/ADATA-SU655-Internal-ASU655SS-120GT-C-Version/dp/B07DNLY1R2/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1537844423&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=ADATA+SU655+120GB+3D+NAND+2.5+inch&psc=1. Is it good enough? Also, I'm getting this for a pre-built dell desktop with only a 1TB HDD so what should I do to install it and make it a boot drive? Thank You

    Thank you so much man! Hope you got your phone. Have a safe trip and sleep well! This morning, I tried to use a wired Dell mouse instead and for now, the problem has subsided. The 2 different mice I used were wireless logitech mice so I guess it had something to do with it. They were all working fine before but for some reason every wireless mouse I've tried caused the stuttering. If the stuttering occurs again, I will submit another reply but for now, the wired mouse is working. Thank You to everyone who helped me with this issue. I really appreciate your help!
