I thought every psu comes with it's own cables... wtf Does this also happen if i forget to properly connect all pins? For instance, connecting only 4 instead of 6(because i did not push the last 2 hard enough) Just want to make sure my bases are covered.. By the way i glanced your backup plan...

Already in the process of sending everything into google drive. Now you got me nervous, what do you mean wrong cable? If it has the correct pin,(e.g 6, 8, 4, etc) it's ok, right?

Got it, will do just that. I was just curious to know whether there's a chance of my files being actually destroyed, if i fail to do it. Cause in that case i REALLY need to talk to my brother about his future upgrades..

Thanks for the warning. Even if it fails to boot though, the files will not be destroyed right? In, say, some sort of insane automatic format. That is, if iuse my hard drive in another pc(such as in an external drive case), i will still be able to access all my folders, right?

Issues such as, say, slower bootup, overall slower windows, and maybe some random crashes? Also, do i need to reinstall windows immediately? I just need some time to make copies of files i need, but for reasons that would be too long to explain, i need to do this hardware change as fast as possible

This is what i read in many threads, to my surprise, because my brother told me it's never necessary, that he never had to do it. For instance he recently changed his mobo, cpu, ram, and simply physically installed the components. That's it. Does that mean that reinstalling windows is...

But the only thing that matters for dual channel is the ram size, right? Not the brand or speed.

I need some help here. Let's say i have 2 sticks, each of them 16 GB and one stick that is 12 GB. Is this considered dual or single channel? Or will the motherboard not load?

At least this seems to be the case for mine, according to it's pdf. If this is the case should i use both or is one enough?

Further update. I tried using an older update for BIOS. One that did not specifically say "OS windows xp, windows 7. Well, the good news is that it updated normally. The bad news is that my gpu still will not play. I updated to version 1.19, but it seems it needs version 4.3(which also mentions...

Ok, so i went into the bios clicked settings Mflash, update bios, it showed my usb stick, and when i clicked it it said" there is no bios file in this USB key, please copy a bios file in the root folder of the USB key" But it's already there! it's not in any subfolder

Yes, i found that. That's where i got the link from the video. But what about the other options? Such as this live-update thing? Also, does my usb need to be empty? other than the update i mean. And is there any reason that in the video he ejects the usb before he restarts his pc?

So.. i did some research of my own.. only to find total madness. MSI has this View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRyFMf0D9Lc video about BIOS update.. but i also found another msi article about something called "live update" in there, it had instructions on how to do a BIOS update...

Ok, but my motherboard's bios updates all say "for windows xp or windows 7" which makes sense since i don't think that windows 10 existed back then lol. Is it still safe to update the bios? Also, my motherboard came out in 2010.. what are the chacnes of a bottleneck, in the off chance that...

UPDATE, so i googled my issue, and it appears a lot of people with my motherboard who upgraded to either the 4xx or the 5xx series solved the problem by "Flashing the bios" this means updating it, right? i assume they also had the same issue with other gpus, i just did not care to search about it
