Hi guys, I have a problem with my M2 drive or my motherboard. My motherboard doesn't recognize my drive, it doesn't show up anywhere and it says that my M.2 port is empty. I have system installed on it it and i had a few bluescreens before that happend. I reseted the bios and did everything what internet said so please give me some advice. My motherboard is msi b450 gaming plus max and my drive is samsung 970 evo plus 250gb. What i already did: -reset the bios by battery -reseted the bios settings -i put out my drive and put it in again -updated bios to the newest version

Hello, recently i started having overheat problem with my ryzen 7 2700x cpu, 3 days ago everything was fine, but 2 days ago my computer shut down. At first i did not know what was the problem, but when i restarted i run some tests and saw that on lite load cpu goes over 90 Celsius and over 100 with 90%-100% load. I dismounted cooler, clean it and changed thermal paste, that fixed the problem a bit so now on heavy load it goes under 90 Celsius mostly. But last year even with hot summer and high room temperatures did not go over 80 Celsius average. Per suggestion i decided to load bios defaults but then my pc got stuck at post screen. Even after battery removal and after that with CMOS clear it still does not get to post screen. Motherboard is msi b450m pro m2 max. Any further suggestions!?!? Thanks.

Hej, so a follow up with my last post about buying a new PC. The PC had a MSI B450 Tomahawk Max in it. The PC works Flawlessly, Boots up practically instantly thanks to the m.2 SSD, but from the m.2 SSD starts the problem. From what i read from the various pages online, the MSI B450 Tomahawk Max disables two of the 6Gb/s Sata ports of the 4 available to allow the m.2 to run. Now in all honesty, i do not care about the speed of the m.2. is there any way to buffer the m.2 speed so i get access to all of the 4 sata ports? "Why do you need 4 sata ports?", Because i have a lot of data that needs to be stored and accessed at all times. If some recall from my last post, or have snooped at it already, i have a 1tb ssd and 4tb Hdd, which both are full of data. the new PC came with an extra 1tb, for me to fill up untill the time i recieve my next 4tb drive. If anyone knows how to buffer the m.2 to get back 2 of the sata ports, i honestly don't care about speed that much, so it can be slower, boot times aswell, but i need the capacity.

Hello, I have been struggling to find the culprit of what is making my pc randomly shut down completely while gaming in particular. My build is an AMD Ryzen 3 2200g along with 8 gb of crucial ballistix ram on an MSI B450M Pro-M2, Patriot Burst 120gb ssd and a 1TB WD Blue HDD. My power supply is a Silverstone ET-450B 450W. My pc just suddenly shuts off and the EZ Debug LED is stuck on CPU. The only way to be able to use the pc is to do the "power supply trick" flipping it off and on fast. It does switch on sometimes and every now and then I get no issues but it keeps happening. I already cleared the BIOS multiple times and have done a bit of testing out of the case. Please help and thank you. Below is a screenshot of my temps after running heaven and Cinebench for 10 minutes.

Hey guys. I just want to know does the msi 450 gaming pro carbon ac work with ryzen 5 3600 out of the box with no bios updates?

i have two 3600x and two msi b450 tomahawk max and i wonder if i could combined them both as one cpu like the x79 dual socket but in two motherboards.

Hi everyone, I want to build a PC with Ryzen 7 3700x and NVidia 2060 Super. I am in a search of a good but not overpriced motherboard and I don't need PCIe nor SLI, so I'm going for B450. I know that MSI B450 Tomahawk Max is one of the best choices, but I was wondering, what about MSI B450-A pro max? It is cheaper, but is it worse than Tomahawk Max and how much? Any other alternative? And please, compare it with Tomahawk Max.

Alright so i wanted to test if there was a performance gain by disabling 2 cores in my ryzen 7 1700. I used the ryzen master software to reboot the system and i haven't even gotten the bios boot. Its odd but I've just taken out the CMOS battery and am draining the board of power for a few minutes. Does anyone know why this happened? Maybe it conflicted with MSI's XMP profile?

Hello,I just purchased this: https://www.hikvision.com/en/Products/Intelligent-Storage/Internal-SSD/Consumer-Class/HS-SSD-E1000N (512gb ver)This is my current system before I purchased this new: SSD: https://pcpartpicker.com/b/TCKBD3The screenshot attached shows that my SSD IS recognised but for some reason does not show up in devices and drives under This PC meaning I cannot use the SSD (Disk 2):How can I fix this? My SSD is in the primary slot. Thank you for any and all help.

One of the plastic housing of the choke on my motherboard broke off into pieces during shipping and the coil inside is exposed, is it still possible to use the motherboard as usual or is there anything that I should about it?

Fans: 3 front rgb and one rear rgb. NOTE : #From Para 1 - 7 I talk about my new system and what i did , temps, testing and how all was fine and what old parts i used and how I did minor testing on new PC .... #From Para 8-17 I tell abou the exact problem im facing 1 My name is Uwais. A week back i built my new pc ... Msi b450 gaming pro carbon ac with r5 3600 and trident z neo 3200 ddr4 memory. I also bought a new power supply cx 650w as my old one died. I am using my old Zotac GTX 1060 6GB MINI that i bought in 2017 .. My old cpu was i3 6098p... All parts are new except gpu and hard drives.. 2 I also used my old seagate and wd harddrives which work perfectly fine. 3 I installed windows on the hard drive just to see that all parts are fine because my ssd was on the way. Also updated to latest bios. 4 Yesterday i received my ssd 970 evo plus and installed windows on it . 5 After installing windows i installed all drivers and important software. I monitored the temps and it looked normal with cpu at 38-45 with voltage showing 1.3-1.4 volt at idle... And Gpu at 32-36 at idle. 6 I also put my memory at 3200mhz . I installed some benchmark tools and all was fine with max cpu temp at 73 full load. 7 Then i played forza horizon 4 for 1 hr and gpu was at 70 degree. I hav just 60 hz panel so vsync was on. I disabled vsynx to see how much temp headroom i have in gpu and i saw gpu temp going upto 85-90 degree. Then i put it back to normal vsync on . After this i played apex for half an hour . Gpu was at 60-70 degree and cpu was at 55-60 degree. Then i turned off computer and slept. MAIN PROBLEM EXPLAINED BELOW .. 8 Then next day after 23 hrs i turned my pc on and it turned on fine. Windows loaded and i was sitting on my desktop page. After 2mins suddenly my screen goes blank . I cant see even my cursor. I can see monitor backlight is on but nothing is displayed. I tried task manager and everything but no response. Keyboard and mouse light are on. Then i press the reset button on my cabinet to restart. 9 The fans stop and reatart again and all my rgb turns on , my rgb cooler turns on my ram light is on my case light is on all fans are spinning my gpu fan is spinning ... Everything is fine but i get no display... 10 Then i see that my mobo shows some red light at vga debug point.. My keyboard and mouse dont light up now ... 11 I tried reseating gpu, changing pcie cables, trying the second pcie slot , trying the mobo hdmi port, trying different hdmi cable, removing cmos battery and putting jt back on(sont know if it reset as i just removed it and waited 20sec and put it back) , short jabat1 two pins( i removed the psu power cable and then did this dont know if it worked) , Tried without gpu , tried with gpu but without pcie power cable, reseated ram. 12I dont know what to do as im so frustrated with my build ... At my place all my family never build a new pc like this, they either buy new garbage laptop or new pc without any knowledge... But i love pc building and although its my first build im getting criticized by my family as its so new and im sitting hours without even getting it to work. ? 13 Now this is exactly what is happening... I press power on button then first cpu debug led comes up, then goes off (all other debug leds are off at this time and none light up) the monitor backlight comes up but says no signal and shows resolution as 1920*1080 ,After 4sec or so the cpu debug led turns off and then after my monitor shows no signal the vga led comes up and stays red. (Also the keyboard and mouse never light up like before), Then if i wait for like 2-4mins just sitting like a duck then i see the keyboard and mouse lighting up and again my display backlight(sometimes) coming up and saying no input... Then dont know how but the vga debug led turns off and no debug led lights show up. Then after almost 10-20sec it autorestarts and my keyboard and mouse lights go off and as soon as it restarts then there is no debug lights active and my keyboard and mouse also turn on as normal (still no display) i think it auto restarts (not sure) and none of the debug leds come up and stays like this only , if during this time i restart computer then again the same thing repeats from starting . As soon as after waiting the vga debug led goes off at the same time the keyboard and mouse light up. Then the restart takes place and then after some time keyboard and mouse go out and debug vga les comes up. 14If during this time i press the reset switch then the cpu debug led lights up and goes off as nd then the vga debug comes up and the same thing as mentioned above happens. 15 But if instead of restart i hold down the power button then as soon as the power goes out then i see first immediate cpu light followed by small light glimpse of all other lights . 16 Please help me out guys as i live far away from actual pc market and also none of my friends and relatives got a spare gpu or other parts.. 17 Havent changed anything in bios except memory to xmp . Never moved my pc and no dust as its completely new . (Gpu is old ). Note: In these two years on my old cheap pc i never used gpu ever more than 70-80% as i was cpu bottlenecked and also just 60fps vsync) I am almost giving up but i love pc building and its not been a good experience for me until now Thank you for reading till here and tq for all your help guys. Here is a noobish video that shows everything that i mentioned... Part 1 Part 2 Reply

Trying to get this to output to my monitor. I have 8gb stick of ram in slot 2. I have tried flashing the BIOS twice. I am plugged into the dvi out on the mobo (I am using a dvi to vga cable). I have also tried my HDMI to DP cable. Neither send a signal to monitor. The EZ LED doesn't keep any of the LEDs on ( flashes cpu, vga, then boot but only shortly). I'm at a loss right now. If I do not get any recommendations soon I'm going to try to re-seat the CPU and try booting again. When flashing the BIOS, the first time was with nothing installed and the second was with everything installed. After the first flash, the boot LED would linger but not anymore. There is no video out whatsoever. Monitor goes into power saving.

Im one to be oblivious to obvious solutions. Im happy to provide anymore information ive left out

Hi, AS you all know last week was the black Friday and cyber Monday and just like many other people I went on a shopping spree and ordered a bunch of stuff for my new gaming pc build. Below is the list of components I ordered from newegg as they were just on my budget. MSI B450M MORTAR AM4 AMD B450 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 HDMI AMD Motherboard AMD RYZEN 5 2600X 6-Core 3.6 GHz (4.2 GHz Max Boost) Socket AM4 95W YD260XBCAFBOX Desktop Processor CORSAIR Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 DRAM DDR4 3000 (PC4 24000) Desktop Memory Model Now i have received my order and upon some research I found out that although it was mentioned in memory description that this memory is supported by amd 400 series motherboards, when i checked the list of supported memory from msi product page for B450 mortar this memory model# CMW16GX4M2D3000C16 is not in the supported memory list. I haven't started the system assembly yet and wanted to know it this memory will be compatible or should i return this and get Xflare instead? This is my first experience with amd based system build and I need your help/suggestions. Thanks
