    News TCL demonstrates 4K gaming monitor with a 1,000 Hz refresh rate

    I think the way it actually works is that the company needs a product today in order to generate cash flow to stay in business, so they push what they can get working out and continue working on implementing advances for next year. Could we have had 1000 Hz monitors 10 years ago? Maybe, but who...

    Question New build, but when I try to turn it on this happens (see video), and then it restarts and does it again ?

    It's probably the GPU. Can you return that to manufacturer/seller for a replacement?

    Then what @35below0 says. You're best bet now is to take it somewhere that can diagnose the issue.

    Here's your BIOS manual: https://download.msi.com/archive/mnu_exe/mb/AMDX570BIOS.pdf On the first screen of your BIOS there should be a System Information area that tells you your BIOS version. If your version is less than 7C91v26, then it might be worth trying to update it as described on page...

    Question New build, but when I try to turn it on this happens (see video), and then it restarts and does it again ?

    Looks like it may be the GPU then. You may have to get it replaced. See if there are any GPU settings in the BIOS that you can change, and try doing that.

    News Intel's 1500W TDP for Falcon Shores AI processor confirmed — next-gen AI chip consumes more power than Nvidia's B200

    Sure, but I quit before even reaching that point. All I got from this is that when it comes time to upgrade I'll look at basic benchmarks myself, using my criteria, and decide from there.

    Question New build, but when I try to turn it on this happens (see video), and then it restarts and does it again ?

    What does your bios say about each of your peripherals (graphics card, memory, et cetera)? Can you boot into an operating system from a USB boot drive? Such as the one you should have to install your OS with. Here's an 11 year old thread that has some troubleshooting tips that maybe might...

    Question New build, but when I try to turn it on this happens (see video), and then it restarts and does it again ?

    So you just had the other motherboard and PSU then? Can you get into the BIOS? Or does it reboot before that is an option?

    Question New build, but when I try to turn it on this happens (see video), and then it restarts and does it again ?

    RMA means "return to manufacturer", but if you tested another motherboard then, as you say, it's probably not the problem. It seems like you have enough compatible parts that you can test each component separately in another build? I'd try doing that. Take a compatible computer and swap the...

    Question Low compression score 7-Zip multicore 14600k ?

    I know it was mentioned earlier that RAM shouldn't be the problem, but I just read this in the 7z benchmark documentation: https://documentation.help/7-Zip/bench.htm With RAM latency being really important for the one and not the other could this be the problem?

    That's probably my last link. Best part in that link is that the scientist behind it has also used some of this technology to clean up contaminants. So it might be possible to not only recycle some of these plastics but also clean up any contaminating chemicals at the same time.

    Useful for deaf people. Our refrigerator will beep when it's open too long. The washer has an optional beep when it's done. And the dryer stops spinning when it's done (noticeable absence of noise), and I think also has an optional beep. Just listening is enough to hear all of this for us.

    Wait. Have you actually installed an operating system yet? Just woke up with this realization given you say it's a new build. If you haven't yet installed an operating system there will be no boot drive because you haven't yet created one. Go through the process of making a bootable USB install...

    You can always sue, and then they'll have to demonstrate to a judge while under oath why it is the new PSU (or installation thereof) that caused the problem.

    Question Theoretical RAM limits

    The limit is the chipset on your motherboard/processor. They'll only address so much RAM. Edit to add more context: I am absolutely no expert, but have been on this journey a bit longer. It takes a lot of I/O processing and throughput to address a lot of RAM. This imposes serious overhead the...
