Read the original post. I already added in there what settings I tried to change... Here is a video I made for MSI when troubleshooting with them. They said after 3 motherboards obviously the mobo wasnt the issue. I'm suspecting its a CPU issue but Ive never heard of a CPU preventing BIOS...

No it is the DD5 version of the board, not DD4. As stated I ready cleared the CMOS and even replaced the CMOS battery and RMA the board, received a new one and still having the same issues. I even changed to a Z790 Tomahalk board brand new and still have the same problems. So clearly its not...

Title says it all. I work in I.T. so I have troubleshooted the basics. But lets go over it from the start. I had an Pro Z690-A MSI motherboard. It came stock with firmware 7D25vA7 which is from 07-04-22. I am able to make changes and save things and it commits changes to BIOS just fine...

Honestly yes it can be some of the settings as others has mentioned. However its not always that simple. I have an 8700k with a 1080ti 144herts monitor with GSync and still was getting micro stutters in some games. It took me a long ass time doing tons of different troubleshooting methods to...

Most likely a hardware compatibility issue. Check on the disco website and see if you can find a hardware compatibility chart.

I wouldn't go with a USB dongle for wireless they are unreliable. Look for a wireless NIC to install in your PCI slot instead. This for example can handle up to 300mpbs. So really only limitation is going to be the distance of the wifi and any walls or anything in between. But this is just an...

Have you tried using a program like hwmonitor to review what temps your GPU is getting at before it crashes?

Only reason to Raid with SSDs if if you have some stupid crazy performance demand for video encoding records etc... and for Raid Disk Protection. As for the file transfer aspect. There is many things that can factor into this that isnt I/O related. Such as the OS being used, where the file is...

Not really a lot of details going on. Where are you getting this internet from? House? School? Secured Network some where with VLANs? is the 10.50.0.x address from DHCP or a static address? Honestly it sounds like you are trying to bypass some security limitation or VLANing in a network you do...

Well firstly no. its not REQUIRED but it is recommended. If you stay with MBR then you cant use UEFI so your mobo has to run in legacy mode and you lose out on some mobo features. Secondly yes you can convert MBR to GPT but then you have to remember to change it in your BIOS from legacy to UEFI...

100s of reason. It could have a lightning strike at one point or a power flicker or just defect in parts when it was manufactured etc... Its like a car... why does the water pump just die or control arms need replacements etc...

Look in event logs. Just perform a search in your start menu search bar for "event viewer" and click on hardware logs then search through there for details on why explorer.exe is crashing. As for running scans. Malwarebytes is actually very good. If you are concern about the data it is sending...

Just going based on the "features" it says this board has. Not sure if it is something you can control or just built into the mobo. Scroll down about half way. It kinda just sounds like a built in "feature" https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/SABERTOOTH_P67/

After all you tried. Yes it sounds like the monitor died. Last thing to check would be power outlet. Have you tried to use another power cable and outlet jack to ensure that isnt the issue?

Well honestly speaking what is your budget? If you want a budget laptop I'd say check out Best Buy and get an Asus, Acer or Lenovo. They tend to have decent specs and be on the cheaper side. Most of those will either give up on an SSD or have a lower end graphics card but again if you are just...
