Apologies in advance for the essay. Just finished building my first PC. Watched tons of videos, checked 3 different part compatibility checkers, been planning and slowly acquiring parts for months. Complete the build, go to power on, no display. All my RGBs work on case fans, cooler fan, RAM, GPU. Power button on my case…
Hey all, I built this PC in December as a novice, after saving for a "dream computer." The dream didn't materialize. I am not an expert, or even moderately knowledgeable person, when it comes to PC building, so please be patient while reading: I have been experiencing this problem continuously until the latest BIOS flash…

Removed Motherboard from case and tried bench booting motherboard same thing. Tried clearing CMOS and also used Bios Flashbackt to make sure bios was updated. Same thing wont boot just…
Looking to buy 2 RAM sticks. I think my Z-170 Gaming 5 motherboard allows for four RAM sticks and I already have two in there that add up to 16 GB. If possible, can I add two sticks of 16 GB so that I would have a total of 32, or if my motherboard only accepts two sticks, should I replace the old ones with two sticks of 32…
Hello, I've been having issues with my motherboard (Asus z690 TUF Gaming WiFi D4) that makes using it a pain. Audio crackles and pops when the volume changes, on windows notifications, on boot up, and watching videos. I've reached out to Asus for support multiple times and they only give inane troubleshooting tips/steps…
I just finished my first pc, but the cpu debug light is on and there is no display when i plug in my monitor, not sure what to do
Old CPU was an AMD RYZEN 5 1600. I own 32GB DDR4 2400 CL16 (4X8GB). 2 STICKS are G.Skill "Flare" (cl16.16.16.39 1.20v). The other 2 are Corsair "Vengeance" CL16.16.16.39 1.20v. I had a machine that booted into Windows 11 before. It was fine,but slow with one stick of the G.skill ram. I put the 2nd in and it was faster, but…
G.Skill Ripjaws V 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-3600 PC4-28800 CL18 Dual Channel Desktop Memory Kit F4-3600C18D-32GVK - Black Reviewers at Amazon and Newegg seem to say at some point G.Skill switched from dual rank DIMMs to single rank. Unfortunately, MicroCenter's reviews don't mention rank#. Anyone know today whether this RAM kit…

I have a new build. Here are the relevant specs: Corsair PM1000x Gold PSU ASUS ROG STRIX B650E-X The machine gives exactly 1 sign of life: A very soft ticking noise at 1-second intervals. If I plug in a RTX4090, this is accompanied by a flashing red LED on the GPU that is synchronized with the ticking. That's it. No output…
I have a gaming laptop from Asus. About a month ago I started to see increase in CPU temperatures. As for now my idle temps are usually around 60°C in silent mode ( using armoury crate ). Idle temperatures in perfomance mode are around 75-80°C. When I’m playin my temps start to be around 90-95°. One of my cores can even…
Hey all! Just completed a new build since 2016 and jumped back to AMD and wanted to go all out. I expected it to run warmer but I wanted to check temps because it seems higher than typical. (I'm waiting out for the 7900 XTX to get closer to MSRP pricing so excuse the old GTX 1080 - Actually had ordered an EVGA 3090 but it…

I recently bought a Wi-Fi card PCE AX3000 Wi-Fi card and my motherboard doesn't have a PCIe one slot I read that I could plug it into a PCIe x16 slot. Would that hamper any performance of the Wi-Fi card or my motherboard?
Hello, I purchased almost an entire computer's worth of parts today (December 26). My local Microcenter does not have all of the parts that I wanted so I was forced to order them elsewhere including the ram. I saw that that the extended holiday return window ended on Christmas day. I feel very rushed since my RAM is…
Hi, I recently bought a cpu, motherboard bundle, I am unhappy with the cpu and wanted to return the cpu and buy a different one from microcenter, while keeping the motherboard, is that possible?.
I plan on pulling the trigger on the b450m ds3h + r5 3600 combo for a pc. It's quite a bargain, but I don't have enough money to buy it yet. I have to wait until February until I can afford it, and I just want to know if the combo will get discontinued, bumped up in price, or anything like that.

Hello, I did not realize cpus were 15 days, I bought mine on 12/1. I am hoping to doing an exchange because my current one is not compatible with my motherboard. Please help.

I am looking to upgrade my current motherboard and CPU to minimize the bottleneck my GPU is experiencing. I am currently running an Asus Z170 Pro Gaming mobo with i5-6400 CPU, 64 Gb DDR4 RAM. I would like to keep this as budget friendly as I can as this is used for casual to moderate gaming -- in other words, I do not need…
I'm want to buy a cpu and the price match would be using Amazon with the $25 first time coupon.
Hello all! So I'm doing a build and have been having trouble finding a CPU/Motherboard combination which would work for my needs. So essentially I'm putting together a machine for the purpose of 4k livestreaming. For this I am looking to get a RTX 3060 so that we can take advantage of Nvidia's NVENC encoding (and not have…
Hi, I have a ROG GU501GM Laptop (www.amazon.com/Asus-ROG-GU501GM-i7-8750H-128GB/dp/B07CR5RYDB) with 16GB RAM installed.
