I have a PowerSpec G516 with an ASRock B550M-C motherboard, Ryzen 5 5600X3D, and BIOS P1.60A dated February 13, 2023. My AMD fTPM firmware is 3.84.0.5. Call of Duty's Secure Attestation Wizard reports BIOS Firmware Update Required, although TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot both pass. Please provide the latest compatible BIOS with…

Hello Engineers, Hi, I’m looking for an updated BIOS for my PowerSpec desktop. To be clear, I am not experiencing any issues at the moment. Purchase Date: March 21 Model: G757 Motherboard Model: B850 Gaming Wifi6 Bios Firmware Version: AMI F5a GA2 (7/31/2025) Board Revision: x.x (Per Speccy it shows x.x, the PCB does not…

@PowerSpec_MikeW My G767 (B850 Gaming WiFi6, 9800X3D, T-Force DDR5-6000) randomly resets and freezes. Kernel-Power 41 with codes 0, 458, 209, 131073. Every crash was with EXPO on at 6000. It's stable at 4800 and 5200, and OCCT Power passed. Similar to DorkAngle's G757 thread. Is this a bad RAM module, and what should I…

Hi everyone! I purchased a PowerSpec G486 from Micro Center and would like to update the BIOS. My motherboard is an ASUS Z790-AYW WIFI W II, and the current BIOS version is 1825. ASUS has version 1836 available on its support page. Can I use this ASUS BIOS file to update, or does the G486 require a PowerSpec-specific BIOS?…

Hey MicroCenter….why haven't you come to Wesley Chapel yet? We've consistently been 1 of the fastest growing areas in the US for the past 10 years. As a resident here, I can honestly say that this middle-upper middle class community loves to splurge. It's an area surrounded by younger, tech savvy families with close…

The amount of time the good people of new england will be saving would be crazy. You could reach New Hampshire, Vermont, parts of Maine and western MA. I currently live in western MA, leominster to be precise and they recently shut down a bobs furniture and i can almost see a microcenter being built in that building.…

Hi, I have a PowerSpec G719 with an ASRock B650M-C motherboard. My current BIOS is 3.06.MS02. I can't seem to access iLok licenses which is leading to bricked NeuralDSP plugins. Could someone from PowerSpec/Micro Center confirm the latest compatible BIOS for my Powerspec G719 is and where I can safely download it? Thanks!

I have not updated the bios since I purchased my pre-built and am starting my to tinker with the WOWF beta and I am (and have been) getting a notice updating my BIOS I can’t find them on MicroCenter website and I am seeing online that I should not use the BIOS directly from the MOBO. Can anyone help? Thank you!

I'm failing to find anything online for this, so posting this here instead of support so answers can stay around for others. What exactly is the warranty for Inland drives? How long do you have to bring it in? For in-store replacement, what all do you need to bring, just the drive? Do you need the box or paperwork, and…

Accidentally posted this in nowhere near the right category, cannot figure out how to delete or move, will do so if I figure out how. Going to post correctly separately.

Hi, I purchased my G757 in November 2025. I have been playing Path of Exile 2 recently, and I have noticed my 9800X3D gets very hot while playing PoE2. Today it hit a max of 92.8C. Is this normal? It seems quite high. Is there any way to lower the temperature? The case fans are also working very hard, and the PC is very…

I bought this as an open-box a few weeks ago and haven't had much time to use it until recently. Crashes happening when running games via Steam, usually pretty quickly into gameplay when the load has been sustained for a few minutes. I saw a prior thread about clearing TPM; I did that but it did not help. I have it plugged…

Hello everyone! I just wanted to see if there were any avid PC builders that could educate me on if my build is good or not. I know that it is expensive and probably overkill, but i just want it to last a long time with minimal upgrades. Here is the…

I need the latest BIOS for a PowerSpec G469 (E7C75IZ1).

Can you please provide me or point me to the latest BIOS update file for PowerSpec B946 equipped with: -MSI Pro E7E06IZ1 -CPU: 12 Gen Intel® Core™ i9-12900 -RAM: 32GB 6000MHz Thanks!

I have had the G765 for about a month and it has hard crashed on me 3 times. I am really not sure what to do. I have disabled EXPO in BIOS since looking into the dump files seems like it could have been an issue but I haven't tried to replicate the crash. It would crash randomly. Twice while gaming and streaming then once…

It's so hard to build a pc here. In utah we only got two best buys in the state right now and you can't trust pc Laptops with anything and it's so hard to order parts on newegg And amazon because there's a high chance of it getting stolen in transit and I've seen so many videos of you guys on Instagram. It would make my p…

This is as strong a case as any for a new Micro Center to be built and Nashville is not done growing and is very close proximity to another hidden tech gem in Huntsville, AL. Nashville’s current population is reported by the Census at 721,074, while its metro reached approximately 2.15 million in 2024 and grew 30.2%…

Hi! I would like to suggest Huntsville AL for a new store location. We have a pretty tech-savvy town here with little options in terms of electronics stores. We are heavily growing with like the country's third highest technical workforce. Companies are swarming in. Micro Center would be a fantastic fit in Huntsville. 

Is there exist utility to monitor Inland SSD health similar to OCZ SSD Utility or Intel SSD Toolbox?

My current bios is P2.90B. I am having the USB dropoff issue to be resolved with a bios update.

I've heard good things about Micro Center, and I wish there was a location near me (in northwest Oregon). Fry's Electronics had a location in Wilsonville, OR, and since Fry's closed, I've thought Micro Center might be a perfect candidate to come in and use their old building (at 29400 Town Center Loop West, Wilsonville OR…

Hi everyone, I'm looking for insight from Micro Center techs or other PowerSpec G757 owners regarding memory stability at advertised EXPO speeds (DDR5-6000). System Configuration (Stock G757 Build): CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Motherboard: Gigabyte B850 Gaming WiFi6 (latest AGESA/BIOS) RAM: 32GB (2x16GB) TeamGroup DDR5-6000…

I have upgraded the GPU to a 5070TI & have 32 gb of ram. This prebuilt has the 5600x CPU & I get stutters in some games. I've read that the 5600X3d would probably fix it. I'm under the impression I need to update the BIOS version. What BIOS version do I need? I currently have version P1.40b.

My G535 freezes and restarts when playing game with my USB powered speakers plugged in. Another issue which I am worried might be connected to this is the sound is terrible no matter what I use. For example, initially I had sound co ing out of my monitor speakers via DP connected to GPU and it sounded crunchy and thin. Now…

Where can I go to request/notify someone of the interest for a new store location? I currently live in Raleigh, NC where there has been a fair amount of interest in tech hardware that is expected to increase dramatically in the coming years. There are numerous tech companies already, and more companies with plans to…

I received the code but its not working. Contacted NVIDIA and they recommended to reach out to Micro Center since all their work arounds are not working.
