Hello, beforhand my apology for my English. I need some help. I can't control my RGB-Strips via Software on my pc (only with the AI Suit 3 Software), i connected the RGB cable on the RGB-Fan-Header and i can only select 6 collors with the AI Suit 3 Software(Screenshot_1), i tried installing Aura but this Error comes up (Screenshot_6) and the asus LED Control doesn't work(screenshot_2). I uninstall aura like 50 times and i restart my pc also 50 times i even reinstall Windows 10 and i tried a bios update nothing works i looked on forums for solutions but nothing worked. I looked in the BIOS and i check if there is anything caused the Problem. Do i need a new mainboard? or is their a another solution? Thanks beforhand for the help and im again sorry for my English (im from Germany). Specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 GPU: MSI GTX 750ti (yea i know its lame but i have that GPU like for 4 years now and i know i need a new one) RAM: 4x crucial Ballistix Sport LT Gray 4GB DDR4-2400 Mainboard: Asus Prime B350-Plus (BIOS: Version 5407) PSU: bequiet System Power 9 600W SSD: SanDisk SDSSDP128G ,Samsung SSD 750 EVO 120GB HDD: Seagate ST1000DM003-1ER162 Operating System: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit Case: Sharkoon TG5 RGB

Hey forum, First time poster here. Couldn’t find anything regarding this with the search function. anyways, after starting up my pc this morning the power button led does not come on anymore and all of the MB Status LEDs come on one after another. Nothing changed, I just turned it off and then back on in the morning. The pc starts just fine, like it did before. Except for this, which does worry me a bit. Its a fresh system, with about 2 weeks runtime under its belt. The system is comprised of: Ryzen 5 3600 rog strix b450-f gaming Gigabyte rtx2070 super windforce oc kingston hyperx fury black 3200 16 gb be quiet! Pure base 601 case hope Someone has an idea, what the issue might be

Hey Guys, I really need to upgrade my CPU, currently I have an Intel i7 6709. The Problem is I have a Storage Solution that works via Thunderbolt 2 (with an Adapter to Thunderbolt 3). Since currently it seems that the AMD CPUs have a way better Value for their Money I was thinking about switching to Team Red, but I've heard that Thunderbolt is more of an Intel thing. So what Motherboard + CPU could you guys recommend? The Hardware thats going to stay: -MSI RTX 2070 -Corsair Hydro Series H150i -4x Kingston 8GB 2400mhz DDR4 Ram -3 SSDs (normal SATA ones) + the Mainboard needs to support Thunderbolt 2 or 3 any recommendations? Thanks in advance!

Heya! It seems like my mainboard has quit working at this point. My System shut down yesterday and wont turn on anymore. THe power supply clicks on and then off again. By unplugging the GPU or other "unnecessary" things it stays the same. If i unplugg the mainboard and short the pins to start the psu for like filling the loop and turning the pump, it works fine. For me it seems like my X99 board has quit working. If you have any other suggestions, please tell me. I looked for a replacement for my: Asus X99 Strix i7-6800K 32GB Corsair Vengance LPX 2600MHz (8 Sticks) and came to a replacement with: Asus rog Strix X570-E AMD Ryzen7 3800XX 32GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200MHz (4 Stick) The rest of the system doesnt change: Asus 1080Ti 2 SSD's 1 NVME Would that be a good replacement or should i change something? I use my system more for productivity then gaming though. Thanks! K~

hey guys, i may have a very common problem, i dont get any video signal from my new mainbord. i upgraded my pc (new MB, RAM, CPU, SSD) and i prepared a bootable win10 sd card. what happened: i first had problems with a bootloop which was caused by i think a slightly loose ram bar(? eng is not native tounge im sorry). as i got the system started, i reached the boot menu (F2 Menu) and everything seemed fine. i left the boot menu and the following dialog asked for a bootable device. i plugged in the sd card and the win10 logo appeared, shortly followed by the first screen which was the language setting i think. i havent done anything with the settings yet, i just (and please dont ask me why, most stupid thing i did lately) tried to plug the hdmi from the mainboard to the gpu. no video signal then. i plugged it back, still no signal. after plugging the hdmi back and forth a few times i needed to hard shut down the system. since then i never got a video signal again. what i tried so far: starting the system with and without the bootable advice, cmos reset via connecting two pins (with a coin bc there was no jumper), removing this one bios battery for 20min, trying different ram slot varities, trying minimal settings (no gpu, one ram bar, vga connection), still no video signal. what on earth can i do to get this system working??? i mean, it did work to the point where i changed the hdmi cable. please help, im really desperate. last but not least, setting: Ryzen 5 3600 ASRock b450 Pro4 Radeon R9 280X G.Skill Ripjaws V 16gb 550W Power Thingy a DVD Drive, a Card Reader if that matters.

Good day everyone and i hope you are having a great day, i am new to this Forum and came here because i got a specific, or actually multiple, question(s) about my Hardware and iam glad that a place like this exists! Let me begin a little earlier to lay down the whole problem that i am facing. I built my pc 2-3 ago to replace my previous system. My Specs were! : (i made some changes later... hold on) Mainboard: MSI Z270 Gaming Pro Carbon CPU: Intel i7 7700k RAM: 2x 8GB Corsair LPX Vengeance 2400 C16 Graphicscard: Nvidia gtx960 (transfered from old pc) PSU: be quiet! Straight Power 10 500W The 960 was a relict from my old pc and did its job for a long time, because iam not too much of an enthusiast when it comes to graphics in gaming. But i did need some power for certain programs like Photoshop. I started off with only 16GB of RAM, because my money was limited at that time, but it got annoying to run out of ram whenever i worked with programs like Photoshop. So i upgraded the pc with another bar of 16GB RAM. Same manufacturer, same clock speed, same busspeed? just a different size. The two 8GB were built into the sockets for dualchanneling i think they are slots 2A and 2B? and the 16GB was in 1A? (i know the 8GB were in the right slots because its also marked on the Mainboard, so it doesnt matter that much if i forgot the naming of the channels) So that worked fine... really. Photoshop was happy, i was happy and i could play games just perfectly. So a year ago i bought a Gigabyte rtx 2070 Gamining OC 8GB. That did not work. :'D After some time in games i would get Bsod's or the game would just silently crash if i was lucky. I was in almost daily correspondence with the Nvidia Support for almost a month. To sum it up: we didnt find the issue. We tried a lot of things. Downclocking the gpu, because nvidia thought Gigabyte fucked up their gpu. Lowering the Powerlimit of the gpu. Doing Benchmarks... trying different versions of drivers which caused different kinds of issues. Last call by the support was that my PSU wasn't sufficient. The 2070 i supposed to have a 650W PSU which is 100W over my own. i get that... if the PSU bottlenecks then the cpu or the gpu do miscalculations and end up crashing the system. That's kinda like overclocking a system... it will get unstable to some degree. But i was stubborn... i tested the power consumption of my pc, i looked in the datasheet of the psu if the 12V channels have a limit to them (they don't) and i did stress tests. I ran benchmarks that would max out both cpu and gpu and i never got over around 400W of power consumption. Funny thing is... i never! got even one bsod while stressing the pc. And i could also turn down the graphics in the game and play with graphics from around the year 2000 and would still get bsods but never even once in a benchmark. The other funfact is that some games would crash the pc and some just wouldnt. So in my opinion that would rule out the PSU. I was pissed and returned the card! . . . A couple of month ago i started to get more bsods with my gtx960 Definetly rules out the PSU in my opinion because that old brick consumes something like a 120W? The bsods were all hinting to either drivers or the ram or hardware issues. It was almost never the same issue and i was too lazy and busy to look into it when it only crashed like a couple of times a month. Over the last few weeks it would go up to at least one bsod a day though(only when i was playing or one time when rendering) and that worried me. I thought it might be the card slowly crapping out after 3-4 years of service. So i bought another rtx 2070, this time from msi. Same issue. I tested around a little and read out one of the bsods. It was a SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION(b3) Those are usually caused by the gpu or the RAM or drivers... who would have thought. The error was caused by a 0x0005, which basically is a Null-Pointer caused by something trying to read somewhere or something that didnt exist. That doesnt really mean anything, because it still could be the gpu passing on corrupt data or the psu causing corrupt data. Corsair Customer service is currently not available so i called msi, because i thought they might know some things about RAM-usage on their mainboard. They cut me off before i even asked my question. MSI Service: "usually it is unwise to use an uneven number of RAM Sticks but that shouldnt be the issue... i am 90% sure it is your PSU" So i tested the ram again but it seemed alright. Took it out and back in. After getting another crash i tried testing them one by one. So i went back to the original setting of 2x 8GB in dualchannel mode and i have had no bsod since then; only one gamecrash. Was that the issue? Or did it only amplify another problem and i was just lucky that it didnt happen since then. I am not ruling out things anymore but it seemed stable so far. The crash that i got in "Rise of the Tomb Raider" was a stuttering and then a silent closing of the game. But i think the game has a few bugs... For some stupid reason it tries to load new regions all at once sometimes and it maxes out my i7 for a couple of seconds before it goes on where it left off. On average it runs around 20-30% and then spikes around 96% or whatever is left by the rest of the system before it goes down to normal after a few seconds. I havent payed that much attention to it but i think neither disk nor ram nor gpu are overly active at those times? Is that another issue maybe in a different costume? If that is just the game: How do i approach the issue of restocking my RAM, because 16GB are far too less for working with PS or even having chrome open while playing a game. Do i buy another 16GB so i can put the two 16GB in Dual channeling? Can i run the 2x8 and 2x16 simultaneously? Should i buy 2x8 so i have 4 8Gb? Or do i get a new PSU? Thanks a lot in advance for everyone that bothered to read till the end I hope i did everything right with the creation of this post and i apologize if i didn't. I also apologize for the length of the post.

Hi everyone, i want to buy a new motherboard + processor + ram trio. but I did not decide which model to choose when choosing the motherboard. The prices of these three motherboards in the country where I live are close to each other. 1) MSI B450M PRO-M2 MAX 2) GIGABYTE B450M S2H 3) GIGABYTE B450M DS3H processor model I want to use in the system: ryzen 5 3600 ram model I want to use in the system: 2x16 ddr4 3600mhz BL2K16G36C16U4B computer case in my hand: cooler master n200 psu in my hand: corsair vs650 Let me explain the method I want to use as follows. I want to use the processor with a stock fan and this processor should work with the stock fan at the highest possible overclocking values. I chose 3600mhz as ram frequencies and I am thinking of using it. As for m2 sata sd, I am thinking of using samsung 970 evo or 970 evo plus 250 gb ssd. I am waiting for your comments, thank you.

I want to sell my 8600K + Asus Prime z370 + 16 GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000 MHz + BeQuiet Dark Rock Pro 4. I have no idea of what the parts are worth in the used marked and never sold PC hardware before. Can anyone point me in the right direction in terms of pricing? (Germany)

Scratched my motherboard while doing a repair and now screen overheats and turns off after a couple minutes. I know this is the culprit tho since I already switched out the screen and still same issue. Is there any way to fix this?

So today my new Mainboard arrived and one of four pins on the Cha_fan3 is bend and is it bad( I’m sorryfor my bad English) does it still work if I connect my fans?

Hi Community, this is my first post in this Forum, and my native language isn't english, so I hope I'm not doing everything wrong on the first try here.. ;-). I just bought new hardware to upgrade my rig; in Detail: Motherboard: Asus Prime B350-Plus CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700X RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 - 2133MHZ (2x8 GB) CPU Cooler: Artic Freezer 13 Old Components: Graphics Card: Nvidia GTX 960 (Gigabyte Windforce G1 Gaming) PSU: Chieftec GPS-550AB A (550W) incuding two SSD'S and two Hard-Drives Situation/Problem: I do not get any Monitor output after powering on the system (No POST) I tested all the old components (Graphics Card, PSU) with the old MB and CPU, and everything works fine. I also did try to use the onboard graphics - no result. Switching the RAM Slots and only using one of the two slots did not work aswell. I used a two-Monitor Setup at my old rig; both monitors work just fine with the old system, but no output on the new Mainboard - not via DisplayPort or HDMI. I also used a Motherboard speaker, but it does not work with the new mainboard at all (Not a single beep). I also dismounted and remounted the cpu. It is correctly aligned with the socket, and the FAN spins just right. So right now, my main Problem is, that i cannot identify any issues, which I then could try to fix. Maybe I have forgotten something (Yes, I made sure, every cable was attached the right way). I basically tried everything, which is decribed in this thread: If it is necessary, I can provide more Information or even pictures of the setup. Any hint of you guys would be helpful to me. Thanks in advance!

Hello, first of all I didnt know where to put this question the best. I put it here because I thought the problem is my mainboard. Lets get started: So all glitching and freezing started about 6 weeks ago. My mouse randomly freezes frequently (5-10 Minutes and It sometimes takes minutes to work again) which makes competetive games almost impossible. Imagine face to face to your enemy jumping around with a frozen mouse and angry teammates yelling at you to kill the guy. Sucks. Also, my ethernet adapter (I think) just refused to work 3-4 times. It said I was connect to our homenetwork but had no access to the internet (I tried to ping google, use google chrome etc...). Also, my keboard went ham earlier today and once already. It kinda looked like the LED's in my keyboard had a rave party and the keyboard itself did not work. Once also my monitor didnt work. So I've got a few predictions on what could be the cause: 1. My mainboard (I have a ASRock B85 Pro4 Intel B85) I dont know, maybe the connectors to the ports itself dont work. 2. The case itself I cant really imagine what would be the cases fault but its not impossible. 3. A virus. I dont really think I have any kind of trojan. I scanned a few times with Avast, Malwarebytes and AdwCleaner and booted in safe mode. The mouse was still freezing in safe mode but it was diffrent then the usual freeze. It was more like lagging, like frequent short (half a second) freezes. 4. The keyboard, mouse etc theirselves are broken. That is a possibility but it would be weird. EDIT: I forgot to mention that I have an USB mixer for my microphone plugged in and this works just fine. What I also forgot was that I already tried other ports. Didnt work.

Hi guys. Need some help again. My Crossover monitor failed on me. The 27inch WQHD one. I cannot find the controller board in the monitor anywhere. The model # of the controller board is VCB1804_AA If you guys know anywhere I can buy this board or a good monitor parts website for US please let me know. Also, If there is another board that I can use please let me know also. Thanks.

down votefavorite Once in 2 or 3 days, I need to reset CMOS of my new PC just to boot. Otherwise it just won't boot. Even power lights won't light up. I tried many things to solve this. Here is the list. 1. I checked every other parts, even GPU with another PC and it worked just fine. 2. Updated BIOS but problem occurred again. 3. Reset BIOS to default. Removed CMOS battery. worked for few days but again with this boot problem. I'm facing this problem from the time I bought this PC and it's been a month. At first I thought maybe I had something wrong setting up the PC and tried to fix it as I described before. I even replaced that Gigabyte H110M-S2PV-CF (DDR4) mainboard. It was fine for a week. and again with this booting problem again! Most heavy thing I do with this PC is using Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2015. I also use othe Adobe Products like Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects, In Design and sometimes Lightroom too. Never Installed any game before. And I updated every single driver as well. I'm using Windows 10. here's my specs, Mainboard: Gigabyte H110M-S2PV-CF (DDR4) [rev. 1.0] Processor: Intel i5 6500 RAM : Vengeance® LPX 8GB DDR4 DRAM 2400MHz x 2 = 16GB in total PSU : Thermaltake 550 watt light power GPU : Zotac Nvidia GT 730 2GB GDDR5 Storage : 1TB Toshiba Display : Dell S2216H 21.5-Inch Full HD LED Monitor [note: my mainboard supprots 2133MHz RAM but I installed 2400MHz ones.] I'm thinking about buying a new mainboard. But it would be really helpful to know the exact problem. Because I'm losing my trust in "Gigabyte".

After getting a lot of help from you guys I spent some time researching parts, comparing deals, etc, this is what it looks like - https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/jrFZvV Is there something I'm missing out on? MB must be mATX or mITX, LGA1151 socket, must feature one PCIe x16, support at least 8GBs of either DDR4 or DDR3L dual channel (which seems to not make a huge impact concerning gaming at all?) memory, two SATA2 or higher headers, basic I/O, ethernet, decent looks...EVERY MB features all of that and more. I guess it just comes down to looks and what I'm willing to spend on that? For the rest of the build, there's a lot of things I will go cheaper with, some people advised me to wait for 1060 6GB prices to drop (we'll see about that end of the year).

Since VM seems to be inappropriate for even low-demanding gaming I want to have Windows XP installed along Windows 8.1 64-bit to be able to play TOCA Race Driver 2 one of my first and favorite games I ever played. I am new to the subject and have concerns over mainboard-operating system compability. Are the mainboards out there that support both XP BIOS and 8.1 UEFI?

PC Problem, randomly freeze and buzzing noise Recently my PC been randomly freeze (even when under low usage / load), and makes a loud buzzing noise from the speakers. I've tried troubleshoot it but still no solution. What I've done so far; 1. Remove my graphic card and using only the integrated Intel HD graphic 2. Clean install windows, and installed all the latest driver 3. stress test memory using memtest86 for about 3.5hours, Result: Pass all 5/5 test 4. stress test CPU using intel diagnostic tools about 2.5hour, Result: Pass, All green 5. Test SSD and HDD using gsmartcontrol, Result: Pass, No error, no red, no warning So I'm really clueless here, the last two things that haven't been tested and might be at fault here, are the mainboard or the Power Supply Unit. For the mainboard I've got no idea how to test it, and for the PSU I've been reading online about monitoring the voltage. I do not have any multimeters/multitester for reading the voltage output, so my two only source for voltage reading is from the UEFI (BIOS) and from installing CPUID HWmonitor. The readings from the UEFI is quite normal the +12V at 12.098, the +5V at 5.096, memory at 1.500, and CPU VCore at 1.020. On the other hand readings from HWmonitor software is quite strange; CPU Vcore fluctuating 0.7-1.020, +3.3V at 2.016, +5V at 3.468, and +12V at 6.912, only the memory (VIN1) normal at 1.500. So my big question here is, What could the problem?? Is it the PSU? Is it the mainboard? or is it something else?? PC Specification; - PSU Enermax Maxpro 500W - Mainboard Biostar B85MG Ver 6.0 - CPU Intel Pentium G3258 - One Stick V-Gen 8GB RAM DDR3 - 1600 - 120GB V-Gen SSD - 2TB Seagate Baracuda 7200RPM HDD - GPU AMD, HIS R7 260X iPower IceQ X² 2GB GDDR5 (has been removed since the problem occur) Operating System: - Windows 10 Anniversary edition 64bit. I've also tried Windows 7 64bit but still the problem occur Software that runs when problem occur: - the problem (freeze) occur randomly, so it can occur when I ran any software, mostly while browsing, watching youtube, uploading works file to cloud, watching movies. Symptom / error message: - There is no error message and no BSOD, the computer just freeze, and produce buzzing noise from the speakers, you can't do anything, beside press the reset button. After the reset button pressed, the computer would on for like 2-3 second, then shut off completely, so then I need to to press the power button to turn it on again, and then when I press power button in order to turn it on again, it would boot to UEFI BIOS and not directly to windows like it normally should do, so then I should exit the BIOS first and then go to windows. Sorry for the longpost and the bad english, hope someone could help. Thanks Anyway.

So the HDMI inputs on my LG 47LD650 stopped working overnight. I love this display more than my Samsung UN55ES7500 actually (regretting the switch but that is another topic) and don't want to let it die just yet. Display panel is fine, software works, can navigate through the menu. I did some looking around and this is apparently a common occurrence. More searching and I found that the problem can usually be traced to the HDMI control chip. I don't have the knowledge or skills to replace the chip, and the main board has been discontinued. A google search found some listings on Ebay offering to repair the board for enough money that i might as well buy a new TV and some obscure websites with the board for sale for around $100, which I have no idea if it will work (I haven't tried my local repair shops yet but if anyone knows a secure source please let me know). I don't think i'm brave enough to try and bake the board. I found an interesting video where the guy uses a hair dryer to heat the chip and it seams to work but he admits only as a short term fix. I might try that later. I'm not necessarily looking to restore this TV back to factory condition, As it is only a secondary TV, I thought it may be a neat project to put it into a custom housing for the garage (I have some aluminium diamond plate lying around) Does anyone know if there is another board I can use for this panel? (from what i can see it is a LC470WUH).

I have a z170xp-sli mainboard in a new build with an M.2 pcie x4 SSD for the system drive running windows 10 pro. Other storage is one non-RAID HDD and two 1 TB HDD in RAID 1. The RAID 1 volume has problems, it took 3 days for IRST to "initialize" the drive and then it immediately started rebuilding, after several days it finished and then started rebuilding again. Read write performance is terrible, takes hours to move a 4 GB or so, something is wrong. I have dleeted the RAID voulme and used WD tool on each HDD and found no problems, then I tried an older version of the intel driver with no luck either. The non RAID HDD works fine, as does the M.2 SSD. The RAID drives are plugged into SATA3_0 and SATA3_1, the other drive is SATA3_2. Any suggestions?

Hello I need your help on deciding between these two mainboards: the MSI GAMING PRO CARBON and the Asus ROG Strix Z270F. They're both pretty similar, but there are some differences, like that the MSI model got two more USB 2.0 ports at the back, the Asus model got a second RGB header, the MSI got a M.2 shield (not sure if that is any useful) and it's got better lighting but the Asus however uses the Aura Sync software, and I'm planning on getting an Asus GPU which features the same RGB function, so that might be cool. I can't tell the other differences, for example BIOS, onboard audio whatsoever because I don't own any of the boards. But maybe one of you do and he/she can tell me about it and give me some advice on which one to choose? Thanks a lot

Hey My Aura has stopped working for no reason and it won't start again. Is there a way to turn off the lights on my Motherboard without Aura? No, i don't wanna fix this damn problem. Im sick of it. Just tell me if there is a way to turn the lights off without Aura. If you have a Fix that is working to 100% then tell me how. (Windows 10 Home, No Creators update, i7 7700, 2x8gb HyperX Fury DDR4 2400, Palit GTX 1070 Super Jetstream, Corsair Vengeance 650W and i got Corsair Link, i read something about some issues with Aura and Link.. idk) -Icefly

Hello guys do any of you know if i can use the ROG Crosshair VI HERO x370 witch has a 8pin and 4pin conector for the cpu with only one 8pin conector?

To fullfill my RGB needs I installed the Asus Aura software for my new Ryzen Mainboard (Asus Prime X370-Pro) The Software only crashes at the startup and creates a Bugreport Online (without even asking, wtf asus) I've tried reinstalling it, restarting after installing, using an older version, Admin mode. Nothing of those had any effect on the software. Similar Threads like here had the same Problem, but seems like they didn't really find out how to fix it. I thought by paying a bit more for my Mainboard and getting the better chipset, I would have a decent Mainboard with good software, but apparently no. This is the stack from the crash: WARNING: Following frames may be wrong. aura+0xed0e aura+0x6edec aura+0x25274 aura+0x72389 qt5core!QMetaObject::activate+0x4cf Anyone suffering a similar fate? Anyone found a fix?

A few months ago I build a new PC with a Gigabyte G1.Sniper B7 mainboard, a i5-6500 and a GTX 1070 and im currently thinking of buying a fast M.2 SSD because my mainboard has a PCIe x4 M.2 slot. But just before I bought it I remembered that my mainboard has a B150 chipset that only supports 8 PCIe lanes which made me think that the left over PCIe lanes would bottleneck my 1070. Does anyone know if this will be the case or do you think it will work fine? Mainboard: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5526#ov Thanks for your help! :3
