  1. Aside from the BIOS reset attempt, what other troubleshooting have you tried?
  2. Unfortunately you can't wait for a BIOS to reflash. Flashing a BIOS is done manually, and usually requires access to the BIOS to do so. However, you can remove the coin battery from the motherboard and remove the power cable from the wall, and hope it resets to the defaults. With one long beep. You can read the manual to see what error it's trying to tell you about
  3. If you hold shift while the PC is trying to boot to windows, are you able to get to the recovery menu?
  4. usually the beep tells you what is wrong. What is the PC that you are trying to get working?
  5. And on an X570 motherboard, not likely to be any real impact due to higher bandwidth lanes available
  6. Phone carrier is something that not a lot of people want to have to think about, myself included. I pay my mint subscription once a year, get something like a month or so for free, and don't worry about it until the next year. I have had mint for multiple years now so it works out pretty well.
  7. I think "ATI radeon" might be a typo, I believe OP is talking about an RX 470 4gb. That's a lot of video RAM for 2008
  8. The fans will be at 0 when you install the drivers, it is a feature. It's called Zero RPM fan mode, and it is common
  9. Removing the coin battery from the motherboard might help, as well as disconnecting the 24 pin and 8 pin power from the motherboard
  10. Something like a peerless assassin has absolutely massive surface area, and push pull, and area for fresh air despite the fin density. I'm still not gonna recommend that @JACKO4590 get a new cooler. I think the LGA 1700 bracket is the best move here.
  11. That's not the point here but it's also not necessarily true. This might be the best addition to this particular PC for CPU temps, any of the high end i9 and i7 CPUs benefit a ton from the bracket.
  12. if the i7-2600 is that much cheaper than the i7-3770, it's a much better choice to go with the 2600. The RX 580 is a super good choice. But for performance for dollar, also consider the RX 470 and the RX 570. From Nvidia, consider a GTX 1060 3GB. a GTX 950 with a really large cooler if you find one for cheap, I had an EVGA model that performed well above the average 950.
  13. A coworker just gave me a dead laptop to go through for him and pull off some childhood memories along with any personal files I could scavenge. 

     

    There's something nostalgic and refreshing about trawling through an old chunky Gateway from 2009's hard drive, and seeing the Minecraft shortcuts and such. Folks really aren't so different at the end of the day. 

     

    I also got the benefit of restoring the laptop to functionality so now I have a pentium machine with 2GB of ram that I can use to my heart's content.

      Anything my heart desires

  14. I personally recommend it. And, it's not terribly hard to get something with a nice compact size if that is still an important feature. Mini-ITX form factor cases are not too hard to come by and some are very beginner-friendly, like the Silverstone Sugo SG13
  15. Micro-ATX with a proprietary 6-pin power connector instead of the standard 24 pin on most boards.
