I was reassembling some parts on a new cabinet and came across a different looking GPU 6 pin power input. According to its manual, this GTX 1060 should have the following pin patter: From Left to right and top to bottom: Top Row = D D Square. Bottom row = Square D D. However the atual hardware i have here is as follow: Anomalous Pattern = Top Row = Square, Square, D. Bottom Row = D, D, Square. My power supply follows the correct patter, the first one, the one user manual says it should be. The power supply 6 pin pci connector connects fine with the GPU, despite having a different pattern. The thing is, Im not sure if its just a manufacturing defect or the problem extends to circuitry level. I don't know how this GPU was mounted on the old cabinet, for when i took the job the parts were already disassembled. The previews IT guy moved to another company and i have no way to contact him. I don't know how to troubleshooting this, and im afraid of burn the GPU. I welcome any advice. Thanks in advance for the attention.

I've been looking for a used workstation laptop with MXM compatibility. i cant find a real list of older models with this capability, only new ones. any suggestions or examples?

So i am planning to upgrade to a 7800 XT from a 1650 super. I am having a Ryzen 9 3900x, and a 700 watt 80+ bronze PSU (gigabyte B700H) am i good to go with the PSU??

Hi, my games have been crashing loads lately while giving graphics errors. I have tried numerous things to fix the issue. My latest attempt to fixing the problem was a complete reinstall of windows on a different drive which did not help. This makes me think the problem is not software related. Could my GPU be dying? It has no artifacting problems just the crashes. My GPU is a Gigabyte RTX 2060 OC edition and I have had it for about 4 years. It currently reaches 77 C while at 99% usage at most but it used to be at 83 C at 99% usage all the time before I fixed that issue (for about 2 years). I had this problem in Valorant and Minecraft but it has not occurred since I set my max FPS to 160 and the GPU usage stays below 60%. I do still have the problem in Fortnite where the GPU usage is over 95%. The crash does not happen instantly it always happens about 15 minutes after starting the game and will then do it about every 3 minutes after the first crash when relaunching the game. The rest of my specs: CPU: Intel core I5-13600KF Motherboard: MSI mpg b760i edge wifi RAM: 2x Trident Z Royal 8gb DDR4 3200 mHz SSD: WD Black SN850X 2tb PSU: 500W from BE QUIET! Let me know if you have any idea what could cause the issue and how to resolve it. Thanks!

Hi. Im searching for a new psu and I don’t know which is the right one. my motherboard only has one 16 pin input and my GPU only has an eight pin one. Can I use the standard psu’s from ASUS or do I need something special?

So I recently installed a riser cable (Fractal Design FD-A-FLX2-002 Flex 2 Pcie 4 Riser) and now when I switch my pc on my screen just stays black, however when I plug an additional screen directly in to the motherboard HDMI port the additional screen comes on and then the screen plugged in to the GPU also switches on. Then I can unplug the screen from the motherboard and all is normal. When I then restart my pc with just the screen connected to the GPU that is in the riser cable same problem until I plug the additional screen in to the motherboard. I am no expert in BIOS settings so i would like to know if anyone has a sollution to this problem? Thank you!

Hi there! A year and a half ago I bought a RX 6700 and I've been having an horrible experience with it. As mentioned below, I use 4 monitors where one usually has a tab from Twitch or Youtube. If for some reason I open another tab of Youtube for exemple, both videos will be lagging a LOT. Whatever monitor they're on. Same if I open a webpage with some animations (this include some media players: if the HUD? of Youtube is showing while the video is playing, the video will lag until it disappears), everything will lag for some time. In top of all that, when I press Alt+tab it's all buggy, even if I have only one Twitch/Youtube it will show like 7-8 of that tab. Few screens of this mess: https://imgur.com/a/GNNzvK9 (the screens are on Opera but the same happens on Chrome + Firefox, I just can't stand these web browsers). I've deactivated the hardware acceleration on Opera and it's now usable, but I still have all that. Sometimes the fourth monitor won't even be recognized anymore. I don't turn off any screens, I'll have to reboot maybe 5 times in order to get it to be detected (already tried to turn them off and everything but still the same). It struggles with a few games too, which I can't remember now from the top of my mind, since I've abandonned playing on PC and switched to the Steam Deck and Ps5 because of this GPU. Here are the specs of the PC: GPU: Sapphire RX 6700 CPU: Ryzen 5 5600 Motherboard: Asus ROG B450F RAM: 2x16GB CORSAIR PSU: Nox 650W Monitors: Main 1080@144, other 3 1080@60Hz Operating System & Version: Windows 11 23H2 GPU Drivers: Adrenaline 24.2.1 I have already tried this: - Uninstall drivers with DDU in safe mode. - Updated from Windows 10 to Windows 11 23H2. - Switched all cables, bought new ones, changed from DP to HDMI all screens, etc. - Main monitor switch from 144 to 60Hz like the others 3. Even while using only two monitors at 1080p@60 each, still the same. - Updated BIOS and chipset. - XMP deactivated and reactivated. - Turned off Freesync on the main monitor. - Someone on Reddit advised to turn off MPO, it kind of helped but the Alt-Tab thing is still happening. I'm about to switch back to Nvidia since it doesn't seem that the card likes multi-monitors setup, but am I missing something? Thanks in advance if you read all this!

—-SKIP TO THE ANYWAY IF THIS IS IRRELEVENT—- Hello all, I’m sure this isn’t an uncommon question but what’s the most profitable software or service used to mine? just looking to make some passive income. My PCs are on 24/7 and all hardlined through my house. I doubt thru-put is relevant but my office has my modem, main pc, and an 8 port switch (the modem has 2 Ethernets, ports cannot be bonded/aggregated) then two lines coming up from the basement, one’s connected to my server for file transfer among other things and other to a 16 port switch. from that switch we hit the ten ethernets on my server - yes a real server, a 2U rack (U2?). Then it goes to my living room which has a 8 port switch. all of them are tp-link unmanaged switches, same model except the 16. That guy is weird because I can’t do anything with it, that is to say punching in the IP, I can’t access a login page or change anything (found manual online, Deff can’t) anyway here’s the specs, not including the handful of laptops that would probably be better off not mining, rather doing server stuff. Load balancing, ADDS, blah blah pc -5900x overclocked (sorta) to 4.3 steady, I won’t let it go higher cause yesterday my 1000w seasonic suddenly pooped outta nowhere as I was mining and doing stuff -asus/ROG crosshair viii WiFi (whatever’s on their site, x570 NOT the dark hero) -asus strix 4090 RTX OC 24g -PCI 1x to 16x, xfx quik amd 6600 8gb -xfx merc amd 6700 xt 12g -dell nvidia quadro 4000 rtx (Nicehash says dell, I dono, sure lol) ^these are in order as placed in the motherboard. Config can’t be changed as the cards are 2 slots wide except for the quadro, which has to stay on the bottom otherwise my headers aren’t accessable -4x Corsair vengeance (I think, I forget cause I bought diff ram due to the QVL) but I do know it’s 18cl, 3600mhz and 16 gig each putting us at 64 total. All we’re hand picked as I wanted nearly matching serials and most of all made in the same country -2x Samsung 980 pros, 1tb. Main drive is on the top slot, obviously. The other is used as a global spare for my RAID setup -8x Samsung uhm… 870s, 1tb each ^4 are on raid 10, 4 global spares including the NVMe. Hey, had data loss before, won’t happen again! -seasonic 1000w bronze whatever, that’s in the case (anyone wanna buy a 1500w platinum / Corsair? Hsx1500i, something look it up on their site. It’s the EU version, won’t get into why except apparently it’s more efficient) -another PSU, a “game max” 1050 bronze. The seasonic didn’t have enough ports for the 4090 AND the rest of the cards ^that config is well, pretty logical. Seasonic is powering the motherboard, 2 cpu headers and the 4090 the ”gamemax” is ONLY powering the other gpus, the riser, and the SSDs should also mention I’m not daisy chaining any power. So that little guy with 2x six pin plug? Just using one plug for each card NOT both the server has 394gb of ram? Something crazy, 24x dimms, all Samsung ram (I think) again same serials, close enough and all same country/year/date of manufacture. It’s Deff DDR4, forget the speed who cares 2x intel Xeon 6790s? I forget, long story. 2.4ghz, I beleice 8 cores and 16 threads each for sake of this post, won’t get into the storage as it’s irrelevant. 8x iscsi (right?) and a plethora of other drives via usb, I know there’s 6 sata SSDs in there. Plus I have a arourus (?) asus something or other that houses 4x Kingston furies (or rampages, whatever was the fastest) at 1tb. Yes, transfer speeds are bleeping crazy, a gb a second from the iSCSI raid setup yeah their all on raid, each drive aside from the usb 3 ones. Can’t lose data! ANYWAY Nicehash is pulling in about 4$ a day between the server, 4 GPUs and my cpu its all water cooled, overkill water cooled. Ain’t getting into that lol. I have a 500ml/dc5 pump, 1L “fish tank” with another dc5 just helping the top radiator circulate water. It’s using the drain plugs so it’s somewhat not in the loop. That’s connected to a 420mm by 60mm (yep) pulling air out with 3x thermal take 140s. Whatever the fastest fans are, 2000rpm. They’re like 80$ a pop, something crazy Custom water blocks for the motherboard, 4090 and 6700 couldn’t find any for the 6600 (really it don’t need it) or the quadro. THAT needs one, she’s a beast! so without the 4090 going I lose like 3$. Kinda strange cause before I had it, I swear I was pulling in 3$ or so just with the server/6700/6600/4000 ANYWAY to the point whats the most profitable service, don’t know too much about mining so apologies if I’m a dummy. Nicehash I’ve seen ads for so I went for it. I look on forums and ppl say use XMrig. Ok that’s fine and dandy but…. Don’t I need a service to manage my junk? Like my wallet, it deposits idk every 4 hours. if not, how do I step away from Nicehash assuming their taking a fee of some kind? should I sideload nicehashOS? Maybe Ubuntu or Kali (it’s lightweight that’s why I mention it). I’m assuming I can’t use virtual machines and have direct IO with my cards then as far as the overclocking goes (nice hash settings OR manually), which route to go? If I’m mining I won’t be using the pc at all, so that could serve as a reliable stress test. Leaving cpu where it is, I do anything more it’ll blow up as I’m at 86c then the “extra parameters” - what else can I do if anything to increase profits? If that isn’t related, what’s it for? Nicehash just says “go” and makes it foolproof, if I can utilize the extras, sure. Maybe a cheat sheet would help? oh and is there a cheat sheet as far as overclocking my cards go? Say overclock-cheating.com, look up my 4090 and bam, there’s a starting point? the quadro won’t get overclocked at all, at 100% load I’m at 86c, any more and it’s useless in hashing also any other relevant information or education would be great. I suck up knowledge like a sponge when it comes to IT stuff OH OH, as it’s setup now, pump, 2 360s (one 60mm), then my cpu motherboard block, the 420x60 on top, then a slim 120 (ran outta room lol), then 4090 to 6700 and pump inlet. ill be putting the pc back together today as it’s been an open case for months now. Don’t ask lol. I have a spare 140x60 I can put under the pump now that I took out the 1500w - too long for the radiator. Would it serve any benefit to go 4090 out, into the 140, out to the 6700 then into the pump? That 4090 kicks some heat, figure it couldn’t hurt. I’m using soft tubing and it would take maybe ten minutes to shove it in there. any knowledge/education would be awesome!!!!! whoop whoop, keep rockin peeps, thanks!!!

Hello people I have two computers, 1st system is fairly reliable and I have been using it for a few years, 2nd system was handed down to me by a family member. I want to sell one of these systems or mix & match parts and both GPUs to buy a newer used GPU. What should I build on 4th gen or 6th gen? Which one would be better for gaming and some data analysis workload like Power BI, MSSMS The goal is to end up with one system from existing parts and a new used GPU something better than RX580. without putting any money in. Also what used options do I have for budget GPUs after selling one of the two systems Budget (including currency): Country: Canada Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: gaming, Power Bi, MSSMS 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):

My RX 5700 XT that i bought on ebay isnt displaying a picture and I have deduced it is most likley a driver issue. How Do I install drivers to the card when I cant even access bios? Motherboard displays VGA light and no onboard cpu graphics. I really need help, any insight would be appreciated.

Hey. So... I have a new PC and I have been having some problems with it. Specifically with the GPU. (i think) I will give the full specks at the bottom. (GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ventus) My PC was working fine just a few days ago, as in I was able to play my games on ultra without problem, but I got an NVIDIA update and then after it finished, the games on Steam and Epic started not using the GPU for the games and the CPU started to absolutely throttle. Updating the driver was the only thing that I did. I then thought that the update was the problem, so I rolled it back, but the problem still persisted. I then restarted the system and now only a few games actually use the GPU when on. Those games would be games like AmongUs, CaveCrawlers, any game on EA, and Helldivers2. All of my other games like Hogwarts legacy, The Finals, Halo: MCC, and Warframe, still don't work. Let me know if there is anything else that yall would need to help me in this.

This post explores the current state of CPU and GPU architecture, the limitations we're facing, and the potential future developments in the computing world. It delves into topics like Moore's Law, transistor size, and the challenges of quantum effects, while also discussing the potential for new materials, manufacturing processes, and designs to overcome these hurdles. also contemplates the idea of having powerful computers as small as our phones and acknowledges the difficulties humans have in predicting the future. Let's be honest, we are starting to hit the limit of GPU and CPU architecture improvements. For those who know Moore's Law, it's an observation that the number of transistors in a computer chip doubles every two years or so. We're seeing that cards and chips don't have the same rapid improvement as they used to; for example, a CPU from 2000 and 2005 has a significant performance difference and a larger overclocking headroom. But now, look at the 13th and 14th generation Intel chips. Cards are still seeing performance improvements, unlike CPUs. I don't know when they will start to progress more slowly. How big can GPUs get? (The 40×× NVIDIA cards are massive, and if we continue like this, they'll become even bigger.) We used to have computers as large as a room that packed a few kilobytes or megabytes of power, and now we have gaming PCs in the corner of our rooms. Transistors were massive, but now they're really small—currently, they're roughly 7-10 nanometers in size, and they're on track to shrink further to 5 nanometers.. As transistors continue to shrink, they approach the scale of individual atoms. At these dimensions, quantum effects become more pronounced and can lead to issues such as quantum tunneling and increased leakage current. (Quantum tunneling occurs when electrons pass through barriers they normally wouldn't be able to), due to their wave-like properties. This can lead to increased power consumption and reduced stability in the transistors. To mitigate these quantum effects, new materials, manufacturing processes, and transistor designs are being researched. For example, Intel has been developing 3D transistor designs like FinFET and Gate-All-Around (GAA) to improve control over the flow of current in the transistors, reducing leakage and improving stability. Other companies and researchers are exploring alternative materials and technologies, such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and 2D materials, in an effort to create smaller, more efficient, and more stable transistors. We all know that we could get video games with life like graphics but due to limitations there needs to be some cutting edges, who knows maybe we could have a computer as small as out phones and have a beast of a power beyond our thought. We as humans are terrible at prediction even history told us so but we can only estimate. * what do you think the new Architecture would be and when it might come even though we are not looking at anytime soon. Note: this is a compilation of my thoughts and research. Do you ever get that feeling when you're on a forum from 2000-2006 and think, "Wow, this is old. This is how they thought about [***] back then"? Well, someday, someone might look at this conversation the same way, or perhaps not. Who knows?

Brand new PC is having black screen crashes in Destiny 2. Long story short, I just built a brand new computer last week (specs below). On first boot, I wanted to test my most-played game, Destiny 2, and was super happy to see it maxing out with 144fps and FreeSync-type smoothness. However, over the past week, Destiny has been crashing randomly, sometimes even as I first load into an area. I have done just about every Reddit/YouTube troubleshoot in the book, still to no avail. My PC seems to run fine in everything else, it's just Destiny that has constant issues. I'll summarize the list of issues below, including specs, and the common error code when my system crashes. Issue: Destiny 2 black screen after playing for anywhere between 1-20 minutes, booted back to windows home screen, presented with error code "Broccoli" (GPU issue in-game), restart required to open Destiny again. In game before crashes is very stuttery, lots of screen tearing. PC is still running after crash, no MB debug lights come on, and I'm able to use most desktop apps post-crash as well. Things I've noticed: No GPU or CPU temperature peaking during crashes, super high scores with no crashing 3DMark or Heaven, no issues in other games, VRAM MHz sits around 1000 even when idle, game sits around 75-85% GPU utilization in intensive areas. Tweaks to my system I've made: XMP enabled on RAM, CPU undervolted to max 85W, tested GPU clock speed to max at 3000MHz, undervolted to 1050mV, power limit increase to 15% (all stable but not in Destiny). Fixes I've tried that haven't worked: 1. Resolution tweaks with CRU to reduce idle VRAM MHz. 2. Disable and fully delete Xbox game bar. 3. Reset GPU overclock to out-of-box tuning. 4. DDU graphics drivers. 5. Went back to old drivers that were "more stable" for the 7x00 series of AMD cards. 6. Windows memory test (just to make sure it wasn't the RAM). 7. Set power plan to high performance, also giving Destiny 2 high priority graphics settings. 8. Updated chipsets and BIOS. 9. Verified game files via Steam. 10. Disabled full screen optimization (this has helped with overall smoothness). Error Code: Display driver amduw23g stopped responding and has successfully recovered. This is the error code I have been receiving every crash. I'm not 100% sure this is the culprit, but there are no other warning codes around the crashing times. People on reddit whop receive this code seem to have similar issues to my own. I have linked a pic of this error code below. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edit Log: Few hours after posting this, I'm having worse stutters in game. I ran a strike with no crashes, and I had GPU-Z handy on my second monitor. GPU-Z shows that when these stutters happen, the following drop to zero or near zero: GPU clock, GPU load, Board Power Draw, and GPU voltage. These stutters are like skipping frames, imagine freezing for half a second before the game goes right back to normal. Specs: CPU: Ryzen 7 7700x GPU: AMD Radeon 7800xt RAM: G.skill 6000Mhz CL32 MB: MSI B650-p Wifi PSU: Thermaltake GF1 850W (2024) Case: Corsair 3000D Monitor: Dell S2716DG (GSync, no FreeSync) Thank you to everyone who responds with help. I'm hoping I'm able to figure this out soon.

Is this a scam? It got a D on Fakespot. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CFWRLDB5?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

I'm from India and there is an Asrock 5600XT 6gb graphics card for 13000inr (around 150us?). GPU prices here are typically higher than prices in the US. I have two questions. First of all, is vedantcomputers (the seller) reliable? Second of all, is Asrock bad?

I bought this GALAX 1660 Ti GPU 8 months ago, And i went ahead and tested it 5 months ago and it wouldnt produce a screen at first and sometimes would, and it would crash while stress testing and produce a grinding fan noise. But i seemed to have fixed those issues except the grinding fan noise. It would still produce it somewhere around 2030 RPM or 60% Fan Speed. But it's not as noisy as before but just today the noise seemed to have come back and im worried if the gpu will get the same symptoms months ago or it will break. No wire seems to be blocking the gpu or anything its just that when the fan goes above 2030 RPM/60% Fan Speed it would make this annoying grinding noise but it's not that loud compared to before. But now it's *kinda* fixed all i did was reseat the gpu and the 8 pin, cleaned the ram, replaced the cmos. And it's stable in games and on FurMark and wont crash anymore. But still makes this annoying grinding noise on it's fan and i dont know how to fix it. Editors Note: I set the fan speed to 62% in MSI Afterburner when playing gpu intense games for the fan to chill and not make that ear-piercing noise. Here's the video of my GPU Back then still having no display issues, crashes and with the grinding fan noise. The noise starts at 0:30 (The noise issue im having right now too but not that audible anymore) What can i do? The warranty is expired. Or do a alternative solution.

Hi, Randomly out of nowhere my screens will freeze then just go black, then my main monitor will flicker from an off black to an on black constantly. I've checked all my drivers to no avail and its really annoying me as its a brand new PC. I found out that Nvidia Geforce experience wasnt working last night and that when i opened the app up it was lagging my mouse out, i turned off the ingame overlay and it felt smoother. Any Ideas? I'm stumped. Thanks

I just upgraded from a 1660 Super to a RX6650XT and it’s not displaying, keyboard and mouse powered but no display. Motherboard: B450M Pro4 CPU: AMD 5800X Ram: 32GB Still works just fine with my 1660 but not with my 6650

Okay so, I bought a 4070 ti super on launch, I got it, it was defective and i returned it. after waiting a whole month, I got my refund and I bought a different kind(zotac holo). This time when I had it all plugged in, in it caught on fire. keep in mind I triple checked power cables. I took it out immediately and tried booting it without the gpu and my system is fine. Is it my motherboard? is it the gpu? power supply? cords? Should I start my 30 day return and just suck it up for another month? It took me so long to save for my computer and im just so upset right now.

Hey guys, I've just upgraded my GTX1080 to a new AMD 7900XT GPU. The new GPU blocks access to the bottom most PCIex16 slot, which previously housed my capture card. (I'm trying to avoid doing the obvious things like getting an ATX size board, or selling the capture card and going for an external one.) Here are the relevant details about my system. Motherboard: Asus TUF B550m plus (this is an mATX size board) GPU: 7900XT GPU Capture card: Elgato 4k60 Pro Case: Corsair 220T Anyways, I managed to get the 7900XT installed in the top PCIex16 slot on my board (lets call it PCIex16_1). However, my problem is that this new GPU is so thick that it blocks my secondary PCIEx16 slot (PCIex16_2). I was using PCIex16_2 with my Elgato 4k60 Pro capture card before, and now no longer can fit both simultaneously. SO I had the bright idea to just move the GPU down to PCIEx16_2. And move the capture card up to PCIEx16_1; everything seems to be running fine so far. Can someone help me understand what kind of performance hit I may take with the GPU in PCIex16_2? I know PCIex16_1 is 4.0 while PCIex16_2 is 3.0, but isn't 3.0 already enough bandwidth if I have enough lanes? Thanks!

hi i updated my cards graphics drivers a while ago an ever since then my gpu has been running colder all of a sudden , fans are fine , no performance decrease ,the only thing ive done hardware wise was disassemble my pc entirely ,redo everything ,took everything out ,cleaned it ,plugged it back in after repasting cpu an now 2 of my case fans have quit working an these are the fans that came with my case , i aint got any idea whats going on ive looked online the pic below is my temps after a complete full day of playing rust normal my gpu is like at 75-77c and it hasn't gotten passed that point at all tbh even the cpu is running cooler ,but i repasted maybe the newest nivida graphics driver boosted its performance ? i haven't noticed a increase in that just that its running cooler all of a sudden

Greetings buddy This has never happened to me Today I installed a tp-link archer txe75e on my aorus x570 ultra wifi PCIE 1 below the PCIE 16x That caused my GPU (rtx 3090) to not giving anymore signal output to the screen. When I turn on the pc everything lights up, even the GPU, the monitor turn on because it receives a signal from the GPU, but then "no signal". I tried to do cmos reset, remove battery, reset the monitor, plug and unplug the GPU. Any idea? It's all water cooled with hard tubing, and I'd love to find a solutions that does not require a total uninstall of the setup I'm in your hands

Does the AMD Radeon HD 6450 LP 1gb support crossfire? Specifically the Powercolor AX6450 is what I am wondering about.

Overall if price is not included who actually wins? Like overall is AMD or NVIDIA a better option when it comes to Games, Video editing, AI technology, so on so forth. Which brand tends to be better at what? like is NVIDIA better for Video editing & AI while AMD is better for gaming? I usually lean towards to NVIDIA as I had a horrid experience with their 5000 series, but I'd love to know now days what is the best on average. For this topic I'd probably want to compare the top of the top from both ends (RX 7900 XTX / RTX 4090) we can include their technological improvements too.

I have very little experience in building PC’s. I installed a Gigabyte 4080 Super I got from Newegg today, with the help of a LTT Youtube Short and 2 friends via facetime. Upon powering up my PC, the GPU wasn’t detected in the System Information, Device Manager, or BIOS. I downloaded the latest Nvidia Driver with support for the 4080 Super, and when I ran the Installation I was met with an error that said I can’t install this driver because there is no nvidia hardware detected. I read a bunch of reddit threads and discovered DDU so I downloaded it and ran it according to the instructions (disconnecting GPU, running it while connected to motherboard, select GPU and NVIDIA, after shut down I connected the GPU but it still didn’t solve the problem. I read another thread here about Gigabyte specifically having an issue with their NVIDIA 12VHPWR adapter, and to try it with 1/3 of the cables disconnected, but to no avail as well. If anyone can help, I would be personally and eternally indebted lol If any other info is needed, please let me know. After reading the post instructions, I’m flashing my BIOS to the latest version now but I don’t know if that could be the cause of all this. UPDATE: I followed the recommendations and tried re-seating it without the Network Adaptor and it worked. Although I should mention I think it was not properly seated the first time. I’m going to re-install the Network Adaptor later tonight after work and see if it works still. Thanks for the help guys!
