Budget: Mid Range (600$-1000$) Country: Venezuela Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: AutoCAD, SketchUp, high quality 3D rendering Other details: My Boss is open to ideas, I suggested a Ryzen 7 5400G if he wanted to go without a GPU for a while but he would also like options that incluide a GPU. My main idea was something along the lines of - Ryzen 7 5400G - B550 Board (open to suggestions in this area for the brand) - 16 or 32 GB of RAM at 3600Mhz or better (open to options as well) - High rated PSU 850W+ if posible - ~500 Gb SSD or M.2 I'll be waiting for your suggestions, thank you

Hey I actually checked the drives and my HDD (not my boot Drive) seems to be the issue for some reason. Every time it's disconnected the PC turns on and works fine, as soon as I try to boot it with the HDD connected, then it hangs. I tried another HDD to discard a problem with the SATA Port and with the cable and it worked fine. I'll try to see if someone can fix the HDD if not, I'll have to get a new one

The problem happened once again and I checked the status LEDS and the VGA one was turned on. Could this be a problem with my Graphics card?

I usually turn my pc off before I got to sleep. 6 to 8 hours later when I wake up I turn it back on. Since yesterday I've been noticing that the PC gets stuck on the aorus logo and doesn't go further than that, until I manually shut down the PC and turn it back on again and then it works normally.

Hello everyone, after I had issues with my PC a few days ago and I decided that the culprit was my motherboard. I woke up today and said "Maybe I should check my PSU voltages, just to double check something", granted I don't have a top of the line PSU (I wouldn't even call it a mid/low tier PSU) and I would probably change it if I manage to get some spare cash. It's a Rosewill 550W 80+ Bronze, what I was able to afford at the time. So yeah, I decided to check the voltages on the 24 PIN connector with a digital multimiter. I shorted the pins to make the PSU turn on and went on to test voltages on the 3.3V, 5V and 12V rails. The thing is that the values where a little different from the 3.3, 5 and 12V values it should deliver, I know that this might be because the Multimiter tolerance + the quality of the PSU. For example: The 5V rail gave me a voltage of 5.20V, the same could be said of the 12V rail which gave me a voltage of around 12.15-12.20V. But, there weren't any crazy spike, everything stayed on those values The question I have is "simple", is this normal? With those variations could I say that the PSU is faulty or is having issues?

I chose to go for the Gigabyte B450 Aorus Elite for my new motherboard since I read some decent reviews (and honestly, the price is quite decent) but noticed that for the same price, at least on Amazon, you can get the B450 Aorus Elite V2, which only has 2 5 star reviews on amazon without any opinions. As far as I could see and research, they're the same board. Is the "V2" Gigabyte version of MSI "MAX"? or are there any other key features that are worth considering on the V2 over the original Elite. Sorry for kinda spamming the forum with motherboard request, but I don't really feel confident enough to go only by my own research.

Yeah I checked all those options and TBH even though some of them seem like really solid boards, the decent amount of "DoA" ratings scare the shit out of me, since I am not able to return a product once bought.

I'll check them out

I would go to 150-160$ max, without shippings (I live in Venezuela so I use the Amazon US website and use a third party courier service to bring it here as safely as possible) I have been recommended the B450 TOMAHAW MAX, opinions on it?

Well that F***** sucks. Those are the best options I found. All the B450 options I got either had several 1 star reviews that turned me off or aren't available to buy any time soon.

Current components CPU: Ryzen 5 2400G RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8 Gb 3000 Mhz PSU: Rosewill 550W 80+ Bronze GPU: GTX 1660 Ti My old motherboard was an MSI B450M Bazooka, which apparently died and it's giving me a CPU LED error (which as far as I've read on amazon reviews and such, has happened to other people), if you are interested in knowing what the problem is and what troubleshooting steps I took, you can check this post https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/ju0vs5/pc_turning_off_without_an_apparent_reason/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 Long story short, I want to get a new motherboard and don't want to risk going for MSI again on this attemp, so I'm looking for advice and opinions on the options I got POTENTIAL MOTHERBOARDS CONSIDERED - Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite - Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite V2 Both motherboards appear on the same amazon page. QUESTIONS - Will the B550 boards listed above work with my Ryzen 5 2400G without any issue? Since I don't plan to upgrade my CPU (I wanted to, but didn't expect my MoBo to die on me) - Between the regular Elite and the Elite V2, which one would be the better option? I'm not interested in overclocking CPU or GPU - As of today, both MoBos stand at 156-160$, are there any better same price/cheaper options out there that you know of?

What is a DS3H? Sorry kinda noob on most terms tech related. I also want ti upgrade my CPU but I don't have enough money for now and buying used is not an options/recommended on my country

Budget (including currency): Open top ideas Country: Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: bluestacks, witcher 3, genshin impact Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Proc: Ryzen 5 2400G PSU: Rosewill 550W 80+ Bronze RAM: Corsair LPX 2x8Gb 3000MHz GPU: GTX 1660Ti In my previous posts I showed a dark and weird spot that my motherboard appears to have and you can check a description of the problem on those posts. Even though the motherboard shows a "CPU debug LED" when it randomly fails, that weird spot makes me think the actual culprit is the motherboard. So I'm looking for new options to fit in my build. I've been recommended these two options but I'm open top ideas: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FKTZC4M?pf_rd_r=SYBFBX0YJMR9AB10P7YG&pf_rd_p=edaba0ee-c2fe-4124-9f5d-b31d6b1bfbee https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-B450-AORUS-Thermal-Motherboard/dp/B07GRNSWNR/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1C1RB3AHRFVKA&dchild=1&keywords=gigabyte+b450&qid=1605100316&s=electronics&sprefix=Gygabit%2Celectronics%2C533&sr=1-2

Motherboard, sadly I can't RMA it.

PC turns on and I can work on it for a few minutes before it basically blocks itself off. My keyboard and mouse turno off and the imagine from My monitor dissappear, but the PC is still turned on and fans both from the case, GPU and CPU still spinning. Weird thing is that if I leave my PC on without use, it doesn't turn itself off. Also, as soon a it fails the CPU LED from the motherboard debugger turns on The only way to turn on the PC is by switching the power supply off and on
