So I bought an RX 560 4GB PowerColor Red Dragon GPU on eBay used and everything was working perfectly fine. But after a few hours of gameplay, I start getting terrible artifacts and discoloration. Once I let everything calm down for an hour or so and get back to gaming (Paladins, Dragon's Dogma, Dead by Daylight) the artifacts stop until after a few hours of gameplay again. I don't know what could be causing this besides maybe a dying GPU? I checked the temps and with fans cranked to maximum (as I am playing games at 4K and doing so just fine with 40+ fps) the temperatures seem to stabilize around 75C-78C. When idle however, it is at 50C-53C and that is stupid hot for sitting idle. I was thinking of checking to make sure the thermal paste didn't need to be changed or if the cooler is seated properly but don't have the time yet. Any opinions guys?

But when I boot, it says "Inaccessible Boot Device" on the BSOD every time. Like I said, there are people who get this thing to +2.6gHz on this mobo. I just don't know what's happening particularly with this. Maybe I should try resetting the OS to IDE because that worked before on an ASRock board.

Hi guys, back again with a bit of a problem. I have the Asus AM1I-A (mini itx mobo) for the Athlon 5350 and seem to be having a problem overclocking this little guy. I have the multiplier set to x21.0, RAM set to 1599mHz at a 120 bus frequency with +0.12500 on the core voltage to bump it up to 2.52gHz. I am aware that it can go about as high as 2.72 at maximum stability but I can't even get it to 2.52 without it immediately going into a BSOD the second I start it up. I have two system fans running and the AM1 Arctic M1 cooler on it and at idle it sits between 22*C and 28*C. I can't figure out why I am having such a problem with a simple overclock. My RAM is Corsair Vengeance 1600mHz 8GB. My storage is a 256GB SSD, power mode is set to balanced, and windows is installed on AHCI which I thought could've been the initial problem as I was able to overclock this on an AM1 ASRock motherboard just fine on IDE. Can someone help me with this and why this is causing me headache after headache. I currently have it sitting on 105 bus at 2.2gHz so far so good but it doesn't seem to go past that. Any information would be great.

Dead CPU or Motherboard? I can't tell.
Asylace replied to Asylace's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
I wish I could but I don't have another AM1 chip lying around unfortunately. But I initially thought it was the motherboard. But out of curiosity, what are the signs of a dead CPU? I've read elsewhere that some symptoms can be the same between the two. -
I have been messing with the system for a few hours and nothing is happening. I built an HTPC with an ASRock AM1B-H ITX board with an Athlon 5350 but nothing booted. I plugged the system into my 4K monitor, went straight to no signal and went into power save, tried it again with my 900p monitor and it did the same thing with integrated graphics. I tried a GPU as well (RX 460 LP) but I had the same problem. Nothing was giving a signal. The lights came on, the fans turned on without a problem (cpu fan, both chassis fans) but no signal. I reseated the RAM in both slots, kept trying with both monitors but nothing was happening. I finally took the RAM stick out and turned on the system and then realized that the motherboard wasn't beeping or making any noises at all period. It was staying quite through the entire endeavor. So I'm stuck on trying to figure out if the CPU is bad or the motherboard. I ordered an Asus AM1I-A board and it'll be here Tuesday because I initially thought the motherboard was just bad. Any thoughts guys?

I was wanting to build an older computer just for the nostalgia of it and I came across this motherboard on eBay. Now, I've read two different forums regarding this motherboard with one saying that you can't have a CPU over 45w on this, and the other saying that as long as it's an AM2/+ AM3 CPU, it'll work just fine regardless of the watts. So I'm a bit confused and need a little bit of help with this. The CPU I was wanting to put in it was an AMD Phenom X4 9550 and later, once I get the money, upgrade it for an AMD Phenom II X4 940

And post was left cold. Great.

I would also like to bring up that there was an R7 250X in the case before pulling it out and putting the HD 7470 in there. I actually just tried running a random game and it told me that there isn't even DX11 on my system anymore. What the hell is happening? All I did was swap out graphics cards. Now to note, this adaptor was pulled out of a dell computer so could that have anything to do with it?
-
I did with the 7470 installation, 7450 and 7570 but not the others. I have a 900p monitor and its stuck at 1024x768 so its very much square which is a very clear indicator that its not picking it up and its driving my insane

Yeah. The motherboard doesn't have any ports for video (its really cheap I know). I am running an APU so is there maybe a confliction between the two?

Okay, I am officially at a loss and need help. I installed a good 'ol display adapter known as the ATI Radeon HD 7470 (or so I at least think). I have downloaded driver after driver to no avail with this card being detectable on my pc. I have spent the past 4 hours restarting my pc to downloading the entire line up HD 7000 series cards drivers (7350, 7450, 7470, 7510, 7570) and nothing is literally working. In MSI Afterburner it detects it as an HD 7000 series card yet my motherboard (ASRock A320M) can't seem to figure out what was just put inside of it. I'm literally confused as to what else I can do. .-.

ASRock AB350M not allowing me to overclock AMD APU?
Asylace replied to Asylace's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
The motherboard itself won't allow me to do ANYTHING with the APU. The entire spot for CPU overclocking is missing. It shows it, but doesn't have options for OC'ing at all. I didn't update the bios at all as I just installed it about an hour ago and I'm genuinely confused. This particular line up of APU's is the 9500E, 9500, and 9550 (for which you cannot buy the actual 9550 chip .-.) so there is no 'K' version. (Though I do know what you guys are talking about). In the bios underneath OC Tweaker, it doesn't show any options for OC'ing at all. Only thing it shows that is available for doing such is for RAM only. Not to mention that this particular APU isn't 'older' by any means. It just came out last year in prebuilds and released this year in July for physical chip purchases. -
I need help trying to figure this out. I bought the ASRock AB350M motherboard for overclocking, which it does show the feature is there. However, the CPU slot is empty, and the DRAM slot is the only thing that shows is available for overclocking. I am trying to overclocking my AMD A6-9500E but it doesn't show up in OC Tweaker. Why?
