Something I forgot to include and is happening again now. The pc won't boot. The fans twitch but that's it. I had this issue when I built this computer but for some reason it suddenly worked a day later.

Just noticed the edit. I'm a bit scared of turning it off though. It's there for a reason I assume, won't I damage my components if there's indeed something wrong? Already done, and I made sure everything is plugged in correctly. I also read the post on the tomshardware forums. raja@Asus wrote: "Regarding the Anti-surge feature; it uses the onboard super IO chip to determine voltage levels. The Achilles heel of this system is that if multiple polling tools (voltage and temp monitoring software) are used simultaneously, it can cause erroneous readings due to poling contention. So if using the anti-surge feature, one is best advised not to run multiple monitoring tools at the same time. The feature does work of course, but there are limitations to what one can do with the super IO." I'm not certain if the crashes occur when I use RealTemp. Guess I'll test that out. I'm only running Catalyst CC, and AI Suite 3. Could these cause a problem?

I'll go pick a surge protector up in the afternoon, better safe than sorry I guess. I'm not really certain I understand what you mean. How exactly am I supposed to test my USB connectors? Currently I have a Logitech K120 keyboard connected and a SS Rival.

Hi guys. I've stumbled onto a problem recently. Specs: i5 6600k msi r9 290 gaming 4g Asus Z170-A Kingston HyperX 2666Mhz 8GB WDN4800 Wifi adapter WD Blue 1TB SanDisk Plus 126GB SSD seasonic m12ii evo 620w I've placed my pc at my dorm, and been using it since saturday. Everything was running perfectly fine. Now, wednesday my pc suddenly shut down. Message came up saying that Asus anti surge protection caused the shutdown. What surprises me is that my pc has been running perfectly for 5 days, and now it randomly shuts down every now and then. Possible causes (?): -Faulty PSU -Faulty mobo -Bad powernet (power surges etc) -??? Solutions: I know that 80% of the answers will be "RMA your PSU". The thing is, I bought it from a well known webshop. Their RMA policy is a bit weird though. First, I'd have to pay shipping costs. They claim they'll pay it back if the product is repaired under warranty though. Since I built the pc myself, they automatically charge me at least €17,50 because they have to test the component. If they don't find any errors, they'll send an e-mail asking if they should test it further, costing me even more. (€17,50/hour). Or send it back without further testing, so I won't get my shipping costs paid + I have to pay some more. Could something simple, like a Belking SurgeMaster be a solution? I'm just using a regular power strip now. Or do I need an UPS? UPS' are expensive though, and I don't really have the money. Other suggestions are welcome aswell.

Played the shit out of this game. This is amazing news

URL looks fake + grammar errors :-/ Also, do people still play RS? I'm getting old ...

As to nuke your HDD. I know that Killdisk can do that without having to boot from said HDD, and this should wipe your HDD out completly if I'm not mistaken. (been a while since I've used it)

Update! Pc has been built now. Took me a lot longer than expected. I ran into some issues, pc didn't boot up. Fans were twitching a bit, but no boot. Anyway, after having everything installed, I had to pull everything out again. I've now learnt to always breadboard everything. Managed to fix it somehow, pc runs perfectly now. (pics coming saturday after I moved it). Edit: Don't mind the floor, room was somewhat messy. Also, pringles can is being used to squash mosquitoes...

Sauce of vid?

No ram matches Avexir's aesthetically imo. Edit: added spoiler

I'm almost convinced they're telling the truth, yet bending it in some way for their own advantage :-/ But maybe I'm just too paranoid.

Get a D5 pump perhaps? Also very overkill build...

Heb een BenQ XL2411Z besteld. Zal eens zien of er zo'n verschil is met m'n Dell P2414H.

Hoge kwaliteit TN panel kan zich toch redelijk meten met een midgrade IPS, of niet?

Wtf are you doing with all those cards?

I already thought it would be as easy as that. But rather safe than sorry! Thanks for the quick answers.

Hello! I currently have 2x R9 290's in CF. I want to uninstall one, and use it in another build. Which steps should I take in order to not get any issues? Or is it just as simple as turning CF off in catalyst and removing the GPU? Thanks in advance!

Parts have arrived! Didn't fully install everything yet. That'll be for tomorrow. Installing the motherboard was a pain. The IO shield has those little fins that go over certain slots. For me, they were always in the wrong position. Took me 8 attempts to install it. I even removed the IO shield and tried to fit it on the motherboard first. It resulted in me slightly bending certain fins in order to get it to fit properly. If anyone else buys this board I highly recommend to try to fit the IO shield on the mobo before inserting it in the case.

Why do people keep posting build requests in the General Discussions subforum. Do they not scroll down and actually read the names of the subforums? New builds and planning... And basically what @BigDay said + get a WD HDD. And I've read that HyperX SSD's are not that great (or atleast some models, somebody verify on this).

A word of advice for others selling their stuff if you sell it in person. Get 2 papers and write something down like this: "I, (name), sell (item) to (other persons name) on (date) for the price of (€) in the condition it's in. On second paper: "I (other persons name), buy (item) from (your name) on (date) for the price of (€) in the condition it's in. And you both have to sign both papers UNDER the last line you wrote. I've always been told that if you do this, you're safe. Since the buyer agreed and knew what he was buying. Can't really help you OP, but thought I'd share this...

Hello! Anyone interested in playing Wildstar on the PTR server? Installing the game right now, but I'd like to have some ppl to play and level with. MMO's are so boring alone :'(

Show those ppl your collection of rare pepe's and you'll be the coolest kid on the block ^^

Are you sure it's plugged in? IT crowd... And edit: Why all the drama? Just chat with your friends ^-^

True, I guess I'll just take it off then. I guess I'll have to reapply thermal grease? May take a look into supporting it. Guess it would also help if I were to place the case flat on its side.
