Installed 2 8GB sticks of Trident Z G.Skill 3200mhz Black/White next to my 2 8GB sticks of Trident Z G.Skill 3200mhz RGB and now I won't get any signal even though my PC boots fine. Relevant hardware: CPU: Intel Core i7-8086K Limited Edition Motherboard: Gigabyte Z390 GAMING X RAM: 2x8GB G.Skill Trident Z RGB DIMM, DDR4-3200, CL16-18-18-38 (2x8GB G.Skill Trident Z Black/White DIMM, DDR4-3200, CL16-18-18-38) GPU: GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Gaming OC 11G PSU: Seasonic Focus Plus Platinum 850W I've tried: 1) reseating the RAM 2) switching back to my old RAM configuration 3) cleaning the slots 4) checking all cables and other hardware that could have come lose during installation of the RAM 5) resetting CMOS and trying each stick, one by one, whilest resetting CMOS after each stick for all 4 slots I appreciate any and all help since I'm at my limit after reseating RAM and resetting CMOS for the last 4 hours.

Yup! Sounds fine, and yeah thanks for the heads up. I have a seasonic 850 watt so I should be more than fine.

Thanks for the insight! I live in germany and a 1080ti starts at around 600€ so around 700USD. My friend and I were talking about something in the 350€ range which puts it a good chunk below a 3060ti's original msrp here of 419€ and its updated msrp of 499€. Of course its used and doesn't have features like DLSS or raytracing (which as a 1080p fps gamer don't matter to me) but seems very reasonable to me. Sorry, should have given that information from the start!

Hello there! I feel kind of bad for bringing this up in a time where many are not able to get their hands on a GPU, but I'm still running my 5+ year old GTX960 and one of my friends has recently bought a new computer and doesn't need his 3-ish year old GTX1080ti from gigabyte anymore. He agreed to let me buy it for a friendship price that corresponds with a not screwed up GPU market, so I've been trying to figure out what a reasonable price would be and need some help with it. Thanks in advance!

Hello there, I've recently been getting a lot more interested in the hardware and software parts of computers and I've been generally wondering how I can learn things more in depth. Of course there's the option of googling every definition I stumble upon, reading up on them and watching videos on those topics and terms, but for me that has only ended in endless rabbitholes of terminology and weird engineering stuff that I am not nearly experienced enough to actually decipher. So I thought that I'd ask here, if any of you had a general way of how I could go about learning the different functions, terms, use cases and processes concerning hardware and its direct software connections.

Thanks a lot but after looking at my sata ports this doesnt seem to be a problem even though I've tried switching them around after specifications nothing has changed. Still stuck not being able to boot my original SSDs windows

Hello! Firstly I apologize if this isnt the right board for this but I wasnt sure which exactly to use. Hardware + OS: MOBO: Z390 GAMING X CPU: i7-8086k GPU: msi NVIDIA GTX-960 4GB RAM: 2×8gb 16GB G.Skill Trident Z DDR4-3200 HDD: 1TB ??? + 2TB Seagate OS: Windows 10 Pro Making problems currently: SSD: WD BLUE 500GB 3D NAND SATA SSD M.2 SSD: crucual P1 500GB NVMe M.2 SSD So as mentioned above I'm struggling with getting back into my old Windows installation after installing an M.2 SSD. I have absolutely no idea why but when I select my normal SSD it gets me stuck in an eternal grey screen unable to do anything besides reboot my PC which automatically boots into the M.2 even after changing the boot order. Adding to that I sadly couldnt just migrate my OS to the new M.2 because the moment I installed it the M.2 would not allow me to boot through my main SSD no matter what I did or changed, it'd instantly kick me into BIOS.
