Hi all... So this is likely going to seem janky. I have dual systems in a salvaged NavePoint 15U cabinet (Davy Jones' Locker, Temple of Doom, IDK -- haven't settled on a name yet) One is an R7 1700 / MSI B450M Bazooka combo with an EVGA FTW RTX3060ti-8GB, 4x8 HyperX Fury DDR-2133. The other...

I'm thinking about setting up dual systems with my recording studio equipment, housed in a 15U Navepoint network / server cabinet. The reason for dual systems is simple. I mostly use Linux these days, but find that I still need WinBlows for a thing or two (mostly video recording and media...

@triplex1 Okay, had this card for two weeks now, I've tried several fixes and I still have audio issues ranging from sound effects missing (can hear AI vehicles' engines in BeamNG, but not my own) to complete audio cutout for a second or two playing social media videos and such. I've read some...

While I am aware of this, I have updated my sig to reflect the most current configuration. Nonetheless... R9 5900X, Aorus B550 Master (F17 BIOS), PV432G320C6K (DDR4-3200, 16-20-20-40 timings), Corsair RM1000x, Phantom Gaming RX 7900 XT 20GB, 1 SN580 / 2 SN570 M.2s, Scythe Mugen 5, Pioneer...

Important detail -- I run dual boot drives with Mint Cinnamon 22 and Win 10 64 Professional, primarily Mint Cinnamon 22. All other hardware details in my sig. So I finally got my GPU about a week or so ago. A few hiccups aside (and I would urge anyone experiencing random restarts and...

Corsair RM1000x. Brand-new. I got to thinking about it, and since the restart errors mentioned core issues, I wondered about the CPU overclock and whether it was stable on THIS board. I previously saw 5.0-5.025 on an Asus Tuf B550-Plus, but maybe this board can't do it. So on that hunch, I went...

Other components in my signature. I recently upgraded from an Asus KO RTX3060ti -8GB-OC to an AsRock Phantom Gaming RX 7900 XT. Things started out quite well, but noticed glitchy audio occasionally and I could not get over 30hz / 30 fps at 4K. Since I have a dual-boot system on separate...

Fresh Win10 and Mint Cinnamon 22 installs on separate M.2s, the 6TB dedicated to Cinnamon, the 8TB available to both as archive storage. However, installed the new GPU earlier this morning.... It's ALIIIIVE! It's ALIIIVE! But Mint Cinnamon won't show over 30hz at 4k? WTH? *sigh* On to problem...

Another thought is to check the BIOS settings for Integrated Graphics (iGPU). Some setups can get confused when this is set to auto and boot with the iGPU which will send video to the onboard video ports instead. Have you tried connecting the onboard video ports to see if it's doing this?

My first guess would be an issue with memory training or poorly seated DIMMs. My 5900X build would randomly show no video, even though it would POST and boot into Windows. Also would not wake from sleep. Turns out the Ballistix RAM I used was not on the manufacturer's compatibility (Qualified...

So in getting rid of some unneeded hardware, I am building two machines, one for a friend and one for his son. The one for my son went well (though the kid blew away 4 days of tuning over something stupid), but the one for my friend is quite frankly starting to give me a headache. Gigabyte...

Like I said, not my circus, not my monkeys. I had set this machine up specifically to protect this hard-head from Microsoft's ever-present attempts to force or trick him into upgrading to Win11. I woke up once to find my machine remotely restarted to an "upgrade to Windows 11" screen. If my...

What do you mean by 'generic' key?

Even if the original partition was deleted?

That's the problem. The previously activated version was 64 Professional, and he installed Home, which is not the same and uses different license key algorithms. And if the original partition has been deleted and recreated, I'm not even sure reinstalling 64 Professional would necessarily work...
