Hi Team, I'm new to the world of UPS...seems I never needed one, but living in this Vancouver 80's special, my power is garbage and it's constantly blowing the circuit and screwing up my windows installs on my new Strix z690 build.. I've had to go through reinstalling windows 10 3 times now.. Anyways, building computer for a long time, I've learned to stay away from certain brands of power supplies and I'm trying to acquire that level of knowledge about UPS/inverters. It seems CyberPower and APC are popular on websites when you google "best UPS" but I find it strange that they are the only ones that come up in the results and all the sites look like click bait referral type pages. It doesn't seem that anyone reviews these pieces of gear at all and when you read the ratings reviews all the 5 starts are uninformative "does everything I need, how amazing". While the 1 star paint a very grave picture commenting on the systems limitations and straight up fails on first use from both APC and CyberPower. Also it seems both company's offer zero post purchase support. Does anyone here know a thing or two about UPS and can point me in the right direction? I need to be able to keep power on for my LCD TV, 850watt Computer and my modem for possibly 5 minutes, while power is restored at the circuit breaker. I was looking at these units, until I read the horror stories. https://www.amazon.ca/APC-Schneider-Electric-BR1500MS2-Uninterruptible/dp/B08GRY1W93/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=apc+1500va+ups+battery+backup&qid=1640473282&sr=8-6 Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks! If the PSU labeling was clear, I'd not have to ask these questions. It literally says "6+2 PCI-E & 4+4 CPU". LINK. I think what they are trying to say is use these two cables for either PCI-E or CPU..

Can anyone shed some light on the 8 pin power connectors for this motherboard? Asus strix z690-a. I've never seen the need for additional 2x8 pins and the manual is a joke, suggesting this or that. Manual picture attached. I have an 850 platinum Corsair PSU and it only has 1x8 pin CPU specific connector. thank you

Bump, I really do need help with tis. The only thing I can do to resolve it is restart the computer once it happens. I'm about to redo windows and just hope to hell this isn't a motherboard issue.. Does anyone know any remote type support who is worth a damn who could help? or even a better forum where an issue like this can get tracktion?

It can take more than 1 minute. 5 or 10...

The manufacture installer is regularly the issue when people have driver problems. You often need to use a third party tool and clean out the old drivers prior to putting in new ones. is your power supply sufficient to run your GPU?

i think either your motherboard has memory issue, or your set isn't "perfect" enough to work together. most people don't realize but you cna run any ram together for aslong as you can configure them with the same settings. there isn't any need to buy them in sets of 4, though it does simply things. you could try all 4 in another computer and sese what the results are.. if the problem persists, i'd get another set of ram.

did you try to leave it on for a bit. sometimes a mobo will have a few loops to get itself going again.

What is your ram set to? confiurm it's either using Default settings or XMP download and use display driver uninstaller.

built in sound chips will do that. I think it's like electrical feed back due to innadiquate shielding. you can buy a sound card...

Did you update your motherboard bios? Are you trying without XMP enabled?

Hey guys, I have this on again off again issue where some services starts to blow up and it causes my systems peformace to stutter. It effects, output of sound and video, though sometimes just sound and not video so the most common symptom is stuttering sound. Initialy I thought the issue was my built in sound cards (ya there is two) so I went so far as to buy a descrete sound card, and yet the issue persists. I though, if the sound is going through PCI-3 surely it'd resolve any issues... heh I did fix this once by removing suspect Asus colour sync drivers, which came with my claymore keyboard, but the issue has returned. I've not reinstalled the claymor driver pack. While this glitching happens, my system.service spikes in resource consumption, so it's something in system.service pack of services, which I have no visibility into. I've also redone every single driver for my platform after DDU to remove originals; DXDiag attached. Does anyone have some suggestions as to what software I can run that will give me visibility into the system service packsge, such that I can Identify the offending service? I'm even willing to let a third party remote in and solve the issue, but googling that type of service doesn't really provide a definitive source for a useful service provider. Thanks for your help.

That's a bit extreme for having a single driver that is causing issues and mostly unhelpful. r5 3600

Hi Team, I've a significant issue going on with my system that causes the service to spike, peg 100% CPU, and then cause video/sound and performance hiccups for like 40 seconds to 2 minutes at a time. They eventually subside until the next occurrence. I've been trying to follow these directions, though I can't locate the kernalrate.exe anywhere in the install directory or explorer search of C: drive after I install WDK (Windows Device Kit). I did install to the default directly, which I can locate, but the exe is not there. I'm guess I've not downloaded the correct file. This is what Idownloaded/installed, as per the instructions. Does anyone have a suggestion or is willing to do a screen share to help resolve. Hopefully after we can identify the driver causing the issues, we can clear it out and install a new one. Thanks!
