  1. sounds like it could be the monitor imo, but simple way to know. just try a different monitor or tv. if that isn't available, take a screenshot, and email it to your phone or another pc, and see if it shows up. if not, then most likely monitor. not sure if there is an easier/better way, but thats how i would test it.
  2. are you hitting like a real barrier in games? or just saw the "bottleneck calculator" that said you are limited? if the latter, they are garbage imo, and not to be taken into consideration. if your pc is doing what you need without issue, i don't honestly see a reason to upgrade it.
  3. bmx6454

    PSU cables

    try wiggling while inserting and see if you can get that click.
  4. you can do either, if you want to play it safe, no reason you can't install the os before putting in case. added this when you posted:
  5. i would say it might just be no os installed iirc. i wouldn't worry about it, unless it is still there after installing the os. the system posts and shows the installed parts, it's likely fine imo. edit: it is in the m2b spot, it will work fine, but that may mean it runs through chipset and not cpu? can't remember offhand, your manual will tell you though. i would swap to the cpu one if that is the case, but either will work.
  6. yes, it for sure would. i missed that part as well. you could try clearing the cmos(this will reset all bios settings to default).
  7. program is called ddu, not sure that it will fix your issue, but worth a shot. run it in safe mode, i usually select the shutdown for install option. then install the gpu once the pc turns off, boot up(if it lets you) and install the latest drivers. no need to put the old card in for this, just run it with your igpu. https://www.guru3d.com/download/display-driver-uninstaller-download/
  8. no like a full list of the parts, like all of them lol. also, what have you tried so far?
  9. trying re-seating the ram sticks, and trying with just one stick at a time(trying both individually).
  10. i would not recommend downgrading on a whim(if it's possible), if you do, be willing to accept any consequences. might also do some reading up on the googles to see if you can find people who have downgraded on that board, and what their experience with it was. might save you some headache. why not just put the 2600 in the other board and keep the 5600 in the current one, seeing as it is already working with the current combo?
  11. i would run "sfc /scannow" in cmd, check crystal disk for drive health, and go from there. reinstalling os may be the route to go, but i usually save it for last as it can be a pain depending on you data setup. edit: also check event viewer for any relevant errors/warning/criticals around the time of these events. might shine some light on the cause
  12. yes correct, you don't need to uninstall intel drivers. you don't need to keep it installed though, but as @RONOTHAN## said, windows update will probably reinstall them anyway, so it doesn't matter. it won't affect performance having the intel drivers installed. just install the amd drivers and you will be good to go.
  13. how could they trust that it's a genuine response if they consult them about their plans beforehand??
  14. you don't need to uninstall anything, it will work fine just installing the amd drivers.
  15. it's going to be a while for this game to come out, if the pc is doing what you need for now, i would just wait. prices will probably get lower in the year plus time-span.
  16. i wouldn't expect them to honor it, maybe I'll be wrong though. it's one thing to get the wrong set, it's another thing to use it anyway and then ruin it.
  17. for the budget, i would try and find a used dell optiplex or something(ideally something that is full form factor so you aren't limited in adding a dpu later on), there really isn't much worth doing imo without replacing all of it.
  18. try another cable for sure. it's free to try(assuming you have another one, or could just borrow one).
  19. do you have a laptop, or access to another pc(or friend's pc) to download the files to a flash drive and put on your pc? if not, i don't see any great ways around the issue. when you say looking for modem, what do you mean? can't you connect to the router you get your wifi from with a cable?
  20. upgraded my cpu from a 3700x to a 5800x3d i got for a good deal. i wasn't sure how much of an impact it would have, but to my surprise it made a pretty huge difference imo. especially in rust, averaging like 35fps higher. its with a 3080 10gb.

  21. it sounds to me like either a component got damaged/knocked off the board, or(more lucky) a cable got knocked loose and needs to be re-seated. i don't see any way without digging further into the laptop to try and find the issue. worst case scenario, if the laptop is toast, you should be able to take the drive out and copy the important data off of it. backups can be a life saver.
  22. what motherboard is this in? did you attempt to re-seat it? which slot is it in, and what(if any) other ram sticks do you have also installed? did you try clearing the cmos? is this bought used, and do you have any way of knowing for sure the stick is good? it is ddr4, and so is the board, and the cpu can handle that speed, so it should work, but there are more variables than that. nvm, @RONOTHAN## is right, didn't see that detail when looking at the modules specs online.
  23. Pulling panels used to kinda intimidate me tbh, but now it's almost calming lol. 75$ in parts plus 3 hours of labor later, i get a decent(imo) 4k tv. samsung1.thumb.jpg.56b22915df40ab33d1baae860ee63f16.jpgsamsung2.thumb.jpg.25928eb2c14a1f4a3fb20d3be9cc1a72.jpg

  24. if the pc is running fine, and doing everything you need, there is nothing to worry about imo. it should be fine, especially considering it's been running fine for a few weeks.
