I've been using an old pc ad a minecraft server on and off for the past 3years the pc contains an a10-6700 apu 16gb of ddr3 ram and a gt620 (all the parts are from an old prebuilt the acer tc-130). (I'm gonna call it a server for a large part of this even tho technically it is just a regular desktop) The pc has been working for the last 3yrs, as the nature as a second older pc I've cycled alot of components in and out including multiple harddrives and os (windows 8.1 , windows 10, 11(even tho it's unsupported I goy it working) and ubuntu server) The server was working last week when I decided to switch out the mechanical harddtive into my main pc to speed up chunk loading, the drive ended up dying a day in probably unrelated but gor detail. So I decided to use my 500gb crucial sata ssd to have the minecraft server on with ubuntu server as the os (same as the harddrive) point is i finish rendering the world and went to put the ssd into the server and was met with a reboot or insert proper boot media. Since I've attempted to use 4 different drives a harddrive with Windows 11 on a harddrive with ubuntu server on and my ssd i plan to use with ubuntu server and even tried to use a blank drive and install ubuntu server onto it with boot media which worked whilst installing but after restarting as part of the install process (the part when removing the usb stick) it can't detect a boot device. Since I've tried 5 different ram sticks, a range of different sata cables. I've some what attempted tk change bios settings but have a limited knowledge do a fix to the issue is likely to be seated there if there is one. The only other thing I could suspect is the powersupply howrver the harddrives spin to life on power on so this doesn't seem to be an issue any input is appreciated there's 2 links showing below. (Don't judge me for being on carpet and using motherboard boxes to keep of it ik it's risky but I don't rlly have many other option available at the momment) Boot without keyboard: https://youtube.com/shorts/LdTeL4OqOGM?si=-YN1-Oj4UObUbapt Bios and boot with keyboard: https://youtu.be/zn2lzjh9ZkY?si=9L89AV98_yAI7V8n

I was wondering if a SATA connector connected to the motherboard this way, maybe we can replace it with a M.2 SATA or M.2 NVMe. If that's not possible and NVMe should be connected directly to the motherboard, is that possible to move my WiFi Card over here (on the place of ODD SATA port)? so that I can connect an NVMe ssd there. Also Speccy says I have 3 PCIe x1 ports available. What are those and how I can utilize them?

Hello people, I had a question. I have lian li RGB fans and coolers and there is no connector for RGB lighting on my MSI-Z390-A Pro motherboard. Is there a controller that I can put on my motherboard so that the things light up?

I've been reading the new specs on new AMD motherboards and seems like they've added a third number in the power stage nomenclature, but after digging on the web for 3 days I haven't found any reliable info about it. I know that in the 16 + 2 nomenclature, the first one is the power phase for CPU and the second is for RAM. But now, with 16 + 2 + 2, idk what is the third number for. Can you help me guys? Thank you.

I accidentally dropped the CPU while inserting it into the socket and now can't post. Ezdebug says CPU. Going to attempt the repair in about an hour. Anyone have any advice? Y'all think I'll be able to save the motherboard? Please point out any bent or misaligned pins you see, I'm having some difficulty seeing the problem. I'll attach some photos....

So my fiance's PC keeps restarting randomly whenever it's doing anything (reinstalling windows, playing games, sitting idle). At first we thought it might be that at our old place the wiring was bad and the over current/over voltage protection was being tripped. But now in a new place, same issue. Swapped out power supplies, GPU and still same issue. The power supply and GPU are fine, tested them in my rig and ran stress tests and my PC stayed on the whole time and is still on (using her PSU but back to my GPU for now). At first I thought to test the ram in the slots they were in, 2 and 4. Same issue. Removed one stick (in slot 4) and it booted and before I could finish installing windows it turned off, you could hear it turn off, and then it turned itself back on and booted back up. Tried the other stick in the same slot, same thing. Trying a stick in slot 2, it won't boot but everything turns on and the fans are at max. The Mobo shows an orange LED where the dram is, maybe that slot is dead? Her Mobo is Asus b 550 gaming Her GPU is a 2070 Super Zotac XC Gaming PSU is currently my PSU - rm850x Ram is GSkill Trident Z Neo 16gb ddr4 3600 CPU is 3700x CPU cooler is a Corsair aio, the h150i pro if she remembers correctly. (I can edit later if this ends up being incorrect) I've made sure all connections are good on both the Mobo and the PSU and nothing smells like burning so I don't think anything is shorted, but I could be wrong. Should I test the other stick first and see if the dram light still comes on, or should I just assume the Mobo is dead and replace it? (Can't test the CPU as we don't have a spare and we don't have thermal paste. I also don't know if my CPU would work in her Mobo. My CPU is a 2600)

Recently, I got some a dual channel 16 gig kit to replace my (at the time) current single channel kit. I added it but, it wouldn’t completely boot, staying stuck on the ROG boot up screen. I added the original stick back and everything worked fine. Two weeks after the same boot issues started occurring again. I’ve left it off, removed the cmos battery, and reseated the gpu. I just resorted to buying another kit and the same issue is going on. I’ve checked bios and it is detecting the new ram. Like I said it loads on the ROG screen infinitely but every few boot ups, It will boot up to a black screen with an hour glass that switches to a standard mouse cursor. Nothing else happens after that. If anyone can help that’d be great. Windows 11 64bit i7-9700k 2080 Super 16gb 3200mhz 850watt platinum

I just updated my BIOS to install a 5800X3D on a MSI B450 Mortar Max board and my system won't post anymore even after putting my old CPU back in. At first, I did a successful update to the latest version (7B89v2K) using M-Flash via the old BIOS menu. The system booted without issues on the new BIOS. I then swapped my old R5 3600 for a 5800X3D and also changed the stock wraith stealth cooler to a Peerless Assassin 120 SE. After turning the PC back on all fans and LEDs turned on but I got no image even after waiting a good 15 minutes. I then did another BIOS change to the version that is cited on the compatibility tab on the MSI website for the 5800X3D (7B89v2F) using a USB drive and the BIOS Flash Button, still no post. I also tried clearing the CMOS. I then swapped the new CPU and cooler back with the old configuration but I still get no post even with the old cpu now, please help !!! What I did: Updated BIOS to latest version -> successfull boot (checked bios version after) swapped 3600+wraith stealth with 5800X3D+peerless assassin 120 SE NO POST after several minutes but fans are spinning and lights turning on Checked seating of CPU cooler, laid PC on the side to avoid motherboard flex Cleared CMOS (shorting pins + removed battery) Updated BIOS to version mentioned on MSI website under CPU compatibility using BIOS flash button according to tutorial with CPU installed (linked below) Cleared CMOS Swapped back to 3600+stock cooler, still no post Cleared CMOS Changed BIOS again to the latest version which worked before, cleared CMOS again Changed BIOS to same version but this time disassembled the entire system with only the PSU connected to the motherboard -> still nothing Motherboard Manufacturer website: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B450M-MORTAR-MAX/support#bios BIOS Flash via Button+USB tutorial:

I'm planning out a pretty alright gaming, productivity, and DIY Machine Learning machine to use for the next 5-10 years. To this end I'm planning to run a 7950x with dual 3080TIs I purchase second hand (very affordable around me!), but to leverage them fully for my ML purposes I think I need two PCIe3 x16 slots. The motherboard I was considering is the AsRock x670E Steel Legend. Going off the manual [link] though, this motherboard has one PCIe5 x16 slot, and then another PCIe3 x4 slot lower down the board. Is this correct? Would the CPU direct more lanes to the second GPU, or limit it's bandwidth? I don't really understand how PCIe works to be honest. If this motherboard isn't feasible for what I want to do, are there any other relatively affordable (300-500 CAD) x670 or B650 motherboards that would work for what I'm describing? The market is so overwhelming right now and I have such a particular feature set in mind that I'm a little swamped and any help is appreciated. EDIT 1: I just found the MSI MAG x670E Tomahawk Wifi, which falls right in the middle of my budget range at $420 CAD, and also seems to support dual PCIe4 x16, which would be perfect. Is this board actually as good looking as it seems? Does anyone have experience with it? -
Hey guys so I've recently switched my mobo out on my gaming pc and the drivers for this mobos internet just don't seem to work. I don't know whats going on but i am including some pictures to give everyone an idea of my situation. I have gone to device manager to try and update drivers for network controller with the yellow caution exclamation point but it reads that it wasn't able to find the drivers for that device, from my knowledge tho the Realtek Gaming 2.5GbE Family Controller is the network controller right?IMG_9742.HEIC I saw somebody on here had a similar problem with the intel version of the mobo and someone told then to extract the file from its zip using 7-zip so I did so and it went smooth with the Bluetooth driver but I got 2 errors when I tried to do it with the wifi driver IMG_9738.HEICIMG_9739.HEIC. Context to these claims is located in the pictures. IMG_9740.HEICIMG_9741.HEIC -
I'm not sure if it is a grounding issue, but the audio jack on my motherboard has noise for some reason. (like what the Steam deck is currently having problems with, reported by GamersNexus). The noise is more noticeable when I move my mouse. I am using a reasonably old case and PSU. I've reinstalled the drivers just in case it that and made sure the screws are tightened (obviously not too much) Note: this issue is only on the rear jack, not the front.

Specs: 3060 ti Founders Edition (for now; from pre-built) i7 14700KF ASUS Rog Strix z790-F Wireless mobo 32 gb corsair vengenance 5200 ddr5 RAM (currently one RAM stick is in whilst troubleshooting) 2TB MX500 Crucial SATA SSD (from pre-built) Corsair 850x PSU (from pre-built) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi guys (also posting here from Reddit as an completely stuck on what to do ) Over the past few days I have put together my first PC using some old parts from my pre-built build and others which are new. However, I've been experiencing issues. To start, my PC will POST when only one RAM stick is in. Both sticks work when they are in individually (one at a time) and in any mobo slot. Secondly, if I have one RAM stick in and boot my usb with the windows install, my PC will POST as normal with the ASUS logo appearing to go into BIOS. However, as the windows install comes up, I then get a blue blank screen and my PC turns off automatically about twenty seconds later. Sometimes, I have received three different error messages. The first two messages I have received is when I briefly see the windows install but get BSOD stating "PAGE\_FAULT IN NON\_PAGED AREA" and "Kmode exception not handled". The final message type I have received is a black screen with a "Windows boot manager" heading stating that the "digital signature for this file couldn't be verified. Status: 0xc0000428". Would anyone happen to know what issue I may be facing? At this point, I'm not entirely sure what the root cause to all these issues are; my gut says it's either a CPU (memory controller/cooler is too tight) or mobo issue. Would greatly appreciate any assistance, and apologies for the long post. Starting to go insane not knowing what could be causing this -
Country: Indonesia Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: OBS Other details Ryzen 5 3600 3.6ghz, MSI Radeon RX 6600 MECH 2X, Antec VP 550W 80+ Hello everyone, I've been planning to build a budget setup with Ryzen 5 3600 3.6ghz, MSI Radeon RX 6600 MECH 2X, Antec VP 550W 80+... I've been saving up for a new motherboard when one of my friend offer me his MSI B450M Pro VDH for a pretty cheap price. I wonder if his motherboard would be compatible with any of my part since PC part picker only shows the MAX variant of the mainboard. Also what's the main difference between the Non-max and Max Version anyway? Any Help Appreciated, Thank You...

So I'm going for a high end PC build, going to use a 7950x3d and 7900 xtx Red Devil, but I'm kind of torn on which Motherboard I should go for. Want something equally as functional and quality as well as stylish. Any suggestions?

Hi there, I’ve looked around quite a lot and plan to continue to do so but I figured I’d post here just incase as a day has gone by and I can’t seem to find a solution. I recently bought a Lian Li O11D mini to swap cases and bought a new Thermaltake Toughpower 1000w SFX. I also got the new V2 strimmer cables from Lian Li to swap out my V1’s. +3 new fans also. That’s it for the new parts. My other parts are: Msi b650 mortar Msi 3070 ti gaming x trio Ryzen 7 7800x3D 2TB Seagate Barracuda WD SN550 512GB SeaSonic 750w Corsair 220T BeQuiet Dark Rock 4 x6 BeQuiet case fans (now 9, using 3 splitters on motherboard, but everything was fine when I used 2 splitters beforehand) V1 Lian Li strimmers 2x16GB 6000 CL30 G.Skill trident z neo I had everything connected in my new case, including new PSU and PSU cables, but my system gives me a solid red cpu and solid orange dram light. I already took a look at CPU socket but it looks fine to me, but I’m not exactly sure what it’s supposed to look like, images attached. I moved the motherboard, with cpu, cooler and ram attached, so I don’t know if they would be the cause of the problem. However, I tried switching back to my old psu and now it doesn’t work either. I also tried CMOS battery twice and neither attempt fixed it, and I also let it sit to see if it was memory training. No results so far but I thought to ask here for help. Thanks

Doing my first build and have been struggling to get the ATX into the motherboard, I've been trying for 2 days now, I've tried to get help everywhere and everyone just tells me to push harder and wiggle, but I've been constantly pushing as hard as I can to the point the motherboard flexes and I've wiggled it plenty, and this is all the progress I can make. There is a little gap and you can see the clip doesn't get under to engage. Do I have a faulty cable or something? The pins are not bent, I attached a picture of them just to make it clear that is not the issue. This has been making my first build a nightmare, would've been one of the last steps before I can finally use it but I'm stuck because of this shit.

Hello! I just got a 14600KF and I was searching for a new motherboard and i have a few questions. 1. Is it worth to overclock this procesor or are the boost speeds enough? if they are enough is a B760 enough for this CPU or i should still run a Z seriers motherboard? 2. Which one would you choose: B760:ASRock B760 Pro RSD4 Z690: ASRock Z690 PG RIPTIDE/ASRock Z690 PRO RS or if you have any better sugetions I would love to hear them! Thanks in advance!

I want to buy a PSU for my PC. I have a minimal budget of 30-45 dollars. My PC Specs: Processor: AMD RYZEN 5 3600 Mainboard: MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max NVMe: Samsung EVO PLUS 500GB HDD: Seagate 3TB Graphic Card: Gigabyte GeForce® GTX 970 Extreme 4GD Monitor: LG 22MK600M UPS: Powerguard 1200VA I have picked two PSUs but when I looked at the tier list, found one at tier 6. The confusing fact is I heard Tier 5 is the last resort of a gaming rig. I want to play games and perform other tasks like browsing and emailing as well. The PSUs are as follows: Thermaltake Smart BM2 550W Semi-Modular Power Supply (Tier 6) Price - $45.83 Deepcool PK-D Series PK550D Non-Modular 550W 80 Plus Bronze Certified Black Power Supply (No Tier) - $43.33 What do you recommend?

Hello. I just baught a new gpu (msi ventus 3x e rtx 4070) and a new case (phanteks g500a), and when I moved all of my stuff from my old pc to the new case, I noticed that the gpu does not seem to fit into the PCIe slot all the way. When i push the gpu in, i have to push more on the right side than the left, and when it goes in, it feels like the left side of the PCIe (on the gpu) does not "click" in as far as the right side does. I also see that when it is pushed in, the screw holes where you screw in the thumbscrews (to secure the gpu), are not aligned (I have to push the case in towards the case). Additionally, the inputs in the motherboard (by the IO shield) look like they are not aligned (like the MOB is pushed to far into the case). When I push in the gpu (as far as I can), plug in the power and DP (displayport), and start the PC, I do get signal from the gpu. I am able to log into my system (so the gpu is geting power and giving out the correct signals). But when I go to device manager or task manager, the gpu is not detected. I have tried to activate the gpu in device manager, but I only have the option to disable it (so that does not work). When I plug the DP into another port on the gpu, I get no signal (only one port works). Does anyone know what could be causing this? I suspect that the gpu is not pushed in all the way, but how is that possible? I have mounted the MOB with all the screws, but do I need some spacers between the standoffs and the MOB itself?
