    Question GPU Problem? TDR? I am completely lost...

    Aeacus I appreciate you responses. But guess what... You better believe it, I've built many PC's. I've actually tested two other GPU's with the same system (using the riser cable). Tested a RTX 3070, and a RTX 3060. They both run perfectly. The RTX 3080 boots up but can't run games using the...

    Question 16gb of ram installed, but only 7.9gb usable

    I just switched my ram slots from 2 and 4 to 1-2 and I now have 14.9 usable. That’s strange. The only probably is that my ram is not in single channel, not duel channel.

    Question 16gb of ram installed, but only 7.9gb usable

So its saying that I have 7.9 usable. It says I have 2 DIMM slots used. So half of my ram is in Hardware reserved. So a quick...
