Guys - great news. I ended up deciding to take it to that shop Thursday because I work so many hours during the week to really even be able to focus on something like this, plus had plans throughout the entire weekend and just wanted this figured out already, but he finally called a few hours ago and said that simply cleaning out all of the gunky dust built up in my 2080 Ti got it working again. I would have never thought of that, so I feel like we might have gotten stuck anyways. Either way, I’m so glad that nothing is broken...Yet. xD Knowing my luck, the very first thing that I’m going to do once I pick up my PC from the shop is finding out and writing down the access key to my Windows 10 software. I just started to use this netted fabric to protect my PC from so much debris right before this happened, but apparently it had already gone too far. At least everything should be okay now.
I’ve also known by some help on this website that the motherboard I currently have in my system (ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming) isn’t even good enough to fully utilize my components. My VRMs, etc, are not even powerful enough to fully power my i9 9900k, nor my graphics card. I don’t even get to fully enjoy the performance that I should be getting, so I also plan on buying this baby down the line - it will probably be about a month or so when I can afford it.
...Can’t wait.
Ohh...didn't know you were running basically an open test bench PC.
Well you don't need the net; just need to clean / dust the PC on a regular basis hahah.
Yeah...AsRock didn't do very well on their Z390 and Z490 motherboards.
WHICH Z390 Phantom Gaming are you using?
The only decent ones from AsRock, especially for a i9-9900K , would've been:
- Z390 Phantom Gaming 9
- Z390 Taichi
- Z390 Taichi Ultimate
The Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Ultra will definitely have no problems.
I've got the Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master myself
Gigabyte definitely nailed it in the VRM designed with their Aorus boards for Z390 and Z490.
