Hi Friends So have the machine built back to operating condition. from a power supply surge. I have suspected a hard drive problem. I have placed the drive in a donor machine and was able to boot to a desktop screen easy peasy. But placed in the original machine with a new USED mobo i...

Hi Freinds I have been using a z170 - e motherboard for five years or more. Consistantly. One nigh heard the computer bot for updates then rebooting quicly fives. By the time O got to the screen it was stuck on a splash page with error about shutting off to protect cpu or motherboard from...

Okay Thanks guys for your observations !

4.8MHz, that would be 333MHz (the bus doesn't always operate at the exact frequency), then you are operating at DDR2 666. There is a reason it is doing this, but without more information I cannot diagnose why. Please list full system specs, including motherboard and how many and of which spec...

Hi Freinds I am having trouble understanding RAM . I use CPU-Z on my computer and learn that I have 800 Mhz speed ram sticks. But the mobo bus speed is only running at 200 mhz. AMD chip. I did read that "something" is effectively cutting the Ram Stick speed by half. my DRam Timing is...

HI Friends Doing my first build. I want to use a working W7 Hard drive into a new parts build. Anyone have experience with this problem issue . It looks like the board may not support W7 therefore I cant uses a existing w7 HD. I would have to install w7 from scratch. ? Thx...

Hmmmm very good question Paul I will have to shut down and check. I would guess that I would blow the whole board if that were the case.

yes I lost a external Card reader and also a USB hub and 2 usbs connected to it. I changed the cable and then killed the usb there. That was when I could read the USB power output as stated in the above post at 5.13 to 5.17. The usb port will function my keyboard and mouse properly. But I...

So here is a screen shot of my voltage readout from Hw monitor. I did receive my Usb port tester from hong kong. It measured the same voltage o all usb ports when plugged into the ports. It measured 5.13 to 5.17 V and would fluctuate from those top to bottom values. I have ...

Well yes that one cable has been a commonality now that you point it out. Yes it is a rear USB port directly to the I/O plate, ,.but now I notice that the USB cable design fits two other ports marked Sata and firewire. I wonder if I got plugged in there and those ports carry a different voltage.

something is killing my thumb drives. My Frankenstein computer with a new /usb MOBO has been working for months without fail............. suddenly I have lost four USB memory stick a card reader and a usb hub . ( 2 new usb sticks too.) Its using a extension cable from the rear usb port of a...
