Make sure your RAM sticks are inserted into the slot furthest from the CPU, then the next one after a gap. It should look like this, with X being where the RAM should be placed: (CPU) [0][X][0][X] In other words, make sure that your RAM is installed in slots A2 and B2. For some reason I couldn't get XMP to stick with them being in A1 and B1 (1 and 3, with 1 being closest to the CPU), using the same RAM kit you are. Make sure to set your XMP setting and not just the bit that says "memory frequency" or something like that. On ASUS or ROG boards, it may be referred to as DOCP. This needs to be enabled in the BIOS menu, and can generally be found near where the memory frequency is listed in the BIOS. Hope this helps!

I'm kind of exhausted and I'm looking for some help. My pc keeps crashing after about 5-60 minutes of gameplay. This issue has persisted even after I replaced my CPU and cooler as well as a whole host of other troubleshooting steps, and now I don't know what to do. Below I have included my pc's current and former specifications as I upgraded several components last weekend. The upgrades have not resolved this issue at all. Below I also included the steps that I have taken so far, as well as event logs, the minidump file that was generated through using Driver Verifier, and anything else I could find that is relevant. PC Specifications (Pre-Upgrade): AMD Ryzen 3 3100 w/ stock Stealth cooler CORSAIR Vengeance RGB Pro SL 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-3200 ( ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Gaming EVGA SuperNOVA 750 GT Intel ARC A770 Limited Edition Elgato HD60 Pro Capture Card tp-link Archer TX3000E Wireless Card Samsung 970 EVO PLUS M.2 2280 500GB ADATA SX850 SATA SSD (boot drive) Post-Upgrade changes (07-29-2023): Upgraded CPU to AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D Upgraded cooler to DeepCool AG400 ARGB Single-Tower CPU cooler Transferred my boot drive onto a new Crucial P5 Plus 2TB PCIe M.2 2280 drive using MiniTool Partition Wizard. [IMPORTANT NOTE: Crash issue was encountered several times prior to changing components, and has persisted through the hardware update.] I checked Event Viewer and found the most recent critical error which caused the system reboot. The error event file has been included below. I re-seated both my GPU and RAM. I updated drivers for every component and did a full DDU of my graphics drivers. I updated the BIOS of my motherboard to the most recent stable software available. I performed a MemTest on my RAM last night, and the RAM came back with a 100% pass score. During the several hour long MemTest my computer did not crash. This makes me consider that the power supply may not be the culprit here. I ran multiple benchmarks with Borderlands 3, keeping HWinfo open to monitor temperatures. I performed a driver test using Driver Verifier through Windows. The computer crashed only twice and not three times like I expected after talking to a Microsoft forum tech, then it initiated a repair. I then booted into safe mode to cancel Driver Verifier through an elevated command prompt, but it reported that the program had already been closed. I then restarted the system and left for work. When I returned home I deleted the Elgato capture card driver that was supposedly causing an issue according to the minidump file that was generated, and removed the capture card from my system. This doesn't seem to have helped, as the system crashed again 20 minutes later, several minutes into Borderlands 3. (The system has only generated a minidump file once, and that was after using Driver Verifier.) I opened HWinfo and ran Borderlands 3 for a second time after the crash, initiating a log and keeping an eye on my temperatures. The system did not crash again. The log file has been included.

Thoughts on this? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077BL65HS/?tag=thewire06-20&linkCode=xm2&ascsubtag=AwEAAAAAAAAAAUSQ https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-cable-modem/amp/

Is there a 3.0 modem that you would recommend?

I just got off the phone with my ISP, and they were actually SUPER helpful. I'll probably be going with a DOCSIS 3.0 modem, as they said that some customers depending on where they are located have had issues getting a stanle connection with 3.1 modems on the network. The representative recommended an Arris SB6190, so I might go with that. Looks like I'll have a lot more research to do on routers though! Looks like from what I've seen, they seem to be the component that you do most of your feature-shopping for, in terms of connectivity and stuff like that?

That explanation really helped! So it sounds like one of the things I need to get is a modem. My ISP here in the USA does allow me to use my own, but it sounds like I might need one from the list I added. Will I need anything else to connect our pcs over ethernet?

I currently rent my modem/switch/ect. box from my cable internet service provider. With three gaming PCs in the house on wired connections and at least one tv streaming video over wifi most of the time, I'm looking to upgrade to something that I can own and will perform a LOT better that what I'm currently using. I have NO IDEA where to start. I honestly don't know the difference between a router and a modem, so product suggestions for what to get and a small explanation would be massively helpful. Thanks! Attached below is an image of the cable routers and modems listed as compatible by my ISP on their website, but I am unsure of if there are more.

Budget: ~$350 Country: United States Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Apex Legends, Minecraft with shaders and Terraria. Mainly upgrading to free up my gpu for another build. Will be streaming at the same time as well. 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): Current monitor is 1440p 144hz. Upgrading from a 1650 Super, planning on upgrading to a Ryzen 5 5600 and a b550-f motherboard.

Mainly because NVIDIA is out of my budget, and I mainly stream on obs right now which supports it

Does that hold up for 1440p 144hz?

Budget (including currency): Not super worried about it, >$100 usd for case, >$80 for used motherboard Country: United States Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Streaming, 1440p gaming. Other details: Okay, so. My current build is a Ryzen 3 3100, Asrock B450m Pro4, and a Gigabyte Windforce 1650 Super, in the Cougar MG120 MicroATX case. My current build plans are to upgrade to a Ryzen 5 5600x, a Radeon 6700xt, and use an Intel Arc 380 for stream and video encoding. I also need to have a spare pcie 1x slot accessible for my Elgato capture card. Will it be possible to fit all of this in my existing case? I would ideally upgrade to a B550m that has wifi, but if I cannot fit both cards into my case with room for the other pcie 1x card, I may have to go with a full ATX board. Does anyone have recommendations for a good midtower ATX case with solid airflow and solid sidepanels, that doesn't just look like a rectangular brick? I would also appreciate any motherboard suggestions for Ryzen 5 5600x.

I'm currently in the market for an Nvidia 1650 Super GPU. I was planning on buying one from Zotac online, but a trip to my local Best Buy showed that they have the same model of GPU made by XLR8 (the 1650 Super) for the same price. Would there be any difference in software, support, or performance between the two?

Does anyone else have issues shopping on B&H on mobile? I'm trying to add a few in-stock parts to my cart to buy in a few weeks, but I get an error message with about 40% of the site, including when trying to add them to my cart. Is this a common issue among the community, or is it just on my end and I should look elsewhere? (The parts are a Ryzen 3 3100 and a Zotac 1650 Super)

Alright, thanks!

I'm ordering it from amazon, so is that an option?

I edited the original topic to include a link

So for my first time PC build, I'm building the $500 budget gaming PC from one of Linus's recent videos. (https://youtu.be/3dEfc9LL9bQ) I'm looking over the parts list in Parts Builder, and I noticed the one conflict is something that Linus mentioned in the video: "Some AMD B450 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Matisse CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions." If I'm using a Ryzen 3 3100, what specifically will I need to get in order to make this work? Link to the board I'm using: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/dQgzK8/asrock-b450m-pro4-micro-atx-am4-motherboard-b450m-pro4

Thank you!!!

I've looked on about six or seven different sites to try and find one, from Newegg and Best Buy to ebay and even Facebook marketplace. The issue hasn't been that they've been listed and marked "sold out", but rather they just aren't showing up at all. Is there a better way to search for these parts?

They don't have one paired with a Ryzen processor. The best they have with Ryzen is a Ryzen 5 4600H with a GeForce 1650 TI

Ah, okay. I wish they offered one that has both a 2600 and a ryzen, but it looks like I'll have to compromise

Hmm, I see. Are they still comparable if I don't plan on overclocking it?

Is the Ryzen 5 better than the Ryzen 7 or the i7?

Does the processor type matter?
