  1. I just migrated most of my parts to a new case, while also upgrading my motherboard and CPU. The PC posted and I'm in the BIOS right now. Before I rebuilt my pc, I had a 240gb SSD (with windows on it) and a 1TB HDD, both of which are in my new rig. I am trying to boot into windows, but in the boot priority list, my SSD is not there, and that is what windows was installed on. I tried booting from a USB but it requires me formatting my SSD, which I don't want to do because I have some files that I don't want to lose on it. What do I do? Is there some way for me to boot for the SSD? Edit: In the BIOS, it is showing that my SSD is connected in the storage section, but not as an option for the boot options.
  2. I currently have a 2200g, and I find that I'm having a little difficulty running Apex. I also have 2x4gb that I'm thinking of upgrading to 2x8gb, and an Rx 570 as my GPU. I was told my CPU is limiting my GPU and that I should upgrade it. I was thinking about getting the 3500x. Do you think this is a good option? Is there anything else I should look at?
  3. nothing worked, its a motherboard problem i guess
  4. Well I just installed the faster ram in 2 and 4, then went into bios and lowered the speed to 1866, then added the original ram. Same problem as always. All I'm thinking now is I can try a CMOS reset and if still nothing then it's the mother board that is messed up
  5. There really isn't much of a difference between the ram. The original one is labelled as 3000 mhz and the new one as 3200. Everything else is the same. I tried installing one of the original ones in the ram slots one at a time. And it boots for slot 2 and 4 but not 1 and 3. Going to try the BIOS thing you said at the end, but I already tried setting the BIOS to 2133 and then adding the faster ram. 2133 because that is what the manual says for SR 4 ram slots. says 1866 for dr 4 ram slots so i will try that too.
  6. How do I find out if mine or the same? Also, I have 2 pairs of ram, does it rly matter if the separate pairs are the same dies?
  7. I have 2x4 gb 2400 MHz ram running in my PC right now, and my friend got a ram upgrade and gave me his old ram. It's the exact same ram, 2x4 gb with the same latency, same brand and type, even same heatsink, but it's 3200 mhz instead. I tried adding it to the 2400 mhz I already have in my computer and it wouldn't post. Computer would turn on with fans and power LED for about 15 seconds, then turn off for about 2 seconds, then back for 15 seconds and continue like that until I forced a shutdown. After I removed the new ram, it worked fine again. The slower RAM has always been in slots 2/4. I tried adding the new ram to 1/3. When I took it out, the slower RAM still works in 2/4, and I tried the newer ones and they also work in 2/4. But neither of the 2 pairs work in slots 1/3. Why is this happening? Is it something I can change in the BIOS? Or by resetting the CMOS?
  8. Well I've been reading and watching reviews and it seems that the pixel has a camera that can compute with flagship models. I've decide to go with that one. Thank you for your input
  9. It would be the A51. From what you're saying the Pixel is definitely best option which is what I have been thinking. Also, I like using my phone is just 1 hand and I'm worried the LG would be too large, right? But one thing that is really keeping it in my mind is the large screen since I watch a good amount of thinks on my phone. The waterproof is also attracting me. Thing is, I think I would prefer the Pixel but the beautiful screen and higher quality features of the LG like wireless charging and better speakers are what's keeping it in the running. How do the camera's compare?
  10. These are the phones I'm able to upgrade to. I like the reliability and camera and everything about the Pixel, but the main thing making me lean toward the Velvet is the screen because I watch a lot of media on my phone, as well as the waterproofing and wireless charging. Any opinions? Considerations? I've used a Huawei P10 Lite for the past 4 years. I read in a review that the 5G on the LG didn't even matter since it was slower than 4G where they were and using AT&T, but I'm in a different location with a different carrier so would that make a difference? Also, I'm able to get a Samsung A51 too, but I haven't looked into it as much yet. Is there anything I should know about it? Would it be worth paying more than those 3 options to go for the A71 instead of the 51? Also, I'm not even sure I'm a fan of the pinched edges and curved screen of the LG but maybe that is just because I'm so used to the shape of my Huawei. Please tell me all your thoughts and experiences. Thanks for your help! I appreciate it a lot!
  11. My friend is building a pc and it just posted and he's in the BIOS. He changed the boot priority to USB key which is what he has Windows on, then he closed BIOS and saved settings, which restarts the computer and then he's back in the BIOS. It's a vicious circle. How do we get out of it?
  12. tried other coords so its not the coord, its either the monitor display or monitor ports
  13. i might have an hdmi to vga that I could plug into my monitor, ill try that later
