this should just work its a native steam game i thought!

I tried all the steps in this video got everything working, lutris is working and Fortnite works but I can't get CS GO on steam to run! It installed it and verified it, but it just dies when you start it after a few mins and goes back to the gnome desktop! I have Pop OS 18.04 LTS installed and the GPU is a EVGA GTX 1060 6gb. it's all been updated and I have the latest driver is installed and I verified that through terminal and even tried a few of the other divers, but it dies on each the same way! When I reload into Windows both games and the card works just fine but in Linux I only managed to get one of my games to work so far and it wasn't the one I expected! LOL If anyone has any idea what could be causing this let me know by commenting on this cus I'm about to pull my hair out! LOL

yep still covered by one year warranty I also contacted best buy and they said i could bring it back and ether exchange it or get a refund so this story has a happy ending after all! thanks for the advice!

I was able to find it online it does have a cach and good reviews, but their not getting one from me!

ahhh that makes since i did look it up it has a cach

How can I tell if it's cacheless? I think it might have a Cach but I can't be cretin as I didn't buy it it was a Christmas gift, but it's a PNY model number CS900 240 GB

I think may have killed my SSD and I don't really understand why because it had 120 mm fan blowing over it! I was stress testing the CPU with CPUZ bench mark and after that Windows started shuddering! I restarted and all my games where shuddering like CS go and Fortnight. My build is an HP 550-153w that I removed it from it's case and added an i5 4690, 500w psu, 16 GB of sk hynix ddr3 1600 and a GTX 1070 so it's been heavenly modified/upgraded and put in a new case and had been functioning correctly since Decembers rebuild! I was just wondering if anyone might have an Idea of what happened here? I took the drive out put it in a Dell and was able to blank it and re partition the drive using a Ubuntu a boot drive for it's Gparted tool and Dells bios on my sons Dell has a drive testing feature so I tested it and it came back good! I Also before I did all that I uninstalled the 1070's driver and reinstalled! I tried everything before I blanked it including repairing windows with that feature from a Windows boot drive! I kept getting errors that said an expected device was not found! I'm now running off a 250 GB HD! So is it dead or does someone know what happened?

Yep that would indeed go along with my original suspicion that the slot was intended for SATA only because if it did support it the bios would have shown it in the drive list as these devices are plug and play meaning it would know it was a usable drive!

OK whelp then ether the slot is damaged or the slot is only intended for a SATA SSD. The bios of the Mobo should detect it even if the driver is not installed, it should be plug and play If that is the case though and you have an extra PCIe slot you can buy an adapter and still use it plunged into a card on a PCIe slot, but I personally find that janky and would just buy and M.2 SATA SSD

hummmm I think it's possable that when you load the nvme externally with Windows it's installing a different driver than the internal slot on the Mobo would require! Just a guess but it's possible that externally it uses a different driver! Try reloading windows with the card installed on the Mobo. If the bios does not detect the drive then it's possible it's sata and not NVME

Hummm well I have used Micron DDR3 in the past without issue! I know were talking vram here but I've never had an issue with the micron brand before in Ram for PC! That's interesting I wonder what is causing the issue or if it was just a bad lot of ram they used to build the cards..

Going to build this weird Chinese motherboard MACHINIST X99 Desktop motherboard LGA 2011-3 LGA2011-3 with dual M.2 NVME slot Support four channels DDR4 ECC SATA3.0 USB3.0 -> https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000383007258.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.28543c006VDHes&mp=1 with this CPU -Intel Xeon E5 2640 V3 Processor SR205 2.6Ghz 8 Core 90W Socket LGA 2011-3 CPU E5 2640V3 Xeon> https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000262737817.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.28543c006VDHes&mp=1 using this video to unlock the multiplier for max turbo! This is an extremely good budget option with multi threaded capability if and only if one can follow the steps in the Video to unlock it! People will say there is no upgrade path, but there is and he clearly talked about that in his first Video about how a little newer Xeon that are higher priced currently, will come down in price in the future and that is your upgrade path! Actually i'll be having some fun with this build, I've never flashed a new bios, I've never had to before! LOL

I believe that a product can be good or work out better if it's matched to parts it was intended for! Some PSU's are intended for certain types of CPU's! I'll give you an example of this, I have a really cheap PSU Thermaltake 500W. It says Haswell Ready CPU's, so it powers a prebuilt motherboard, an HP to be exact! This computer is old now 4 years now it came with a crappy 190w PSU and so I rebuilt it 2 years ago and put all the parts in another case! It has a decent amount of load but not what I would call over 300w territory, I mean the system had only a 190w PSU before! I added the GPU and the i5 4690 and that's an 84w CPU. I upgraded from the i3 and it runs a GTX 1070. The point of me telling you all this is PSU's are sometimes like cars, sometime they are great and other times you get a lemon! I had a 500W EVGA model that I saw a Youtuber use when I rebuilt this computer, I won't throw anyone under the bus by naming them but that PSU had a really loud fan and after a couple years it died! Does that mean all EVGA PSU's are bad from that model or series!, NO! My cheap Thermaltake PSU I replaced it with is really super quiet does that mean all Thermaltake PSU's are quiet, hell NO! I seen mixed reviews! I bought the product to do my own testing because sometimes that the only way to get a definitive answer and even then if you buy the same model, your mileage may very!

I been using a Thermaltake PSU for awhile now a 500W non modular smart series! This PSU is quite and has lasted a good while now, I know it's a Cheap PSU but it wasn't light weight when I unboxed it, like some really cheap PSU's I have felt and the casings on the wire seemed enough for the power usage and draw of the PSU and good quality, it looks decently made and if someone was on a super tight budget or just rebuilding an old PC like I was, it could work in a pinch! I'll keep you guys updated as to how long this thing actually last! Right now it rocks a HP Memphis 2 uATX motherboard with an i5 4690, 16 GB HP Hynix DDR3 1600, GTX 1070 and I added a 240 GB PNY SSD to the 1TB WD Blue! I put all this in a cheap yet decent glass case called a Matrixx 30 from Deepcool it's really cheap but even so worlds above that extremely cheap HP case and it fits a 3 fan GPU if you bend the SSD tray thing down out of the way! LOL The whole build is an HP 550-153W I bought for 50 bucks then gutted and I bought upgrade parts for on ebay ( CPU and 1 8-GB HP hynix Dimm to match) and the GPU as well I got that on an Auction I won. I added three Noctua fans to it as the case really needs airflow, 2 in front one in back! And not it's only designed for one but if your willing to run them with three screws you can mount two up front in it by putting one screw in and turning one fan out of the way to install the top screw for the outside fan, that wasn't easy!! LMAO It's nothing great and most of these guys would probably laugh at it, but it's well wired, looks decent and does game! Thus proving that even a poor pizza delivery guy can build something that games from watching LTT build guide video's!!
