    Question Motherboard not recognizing RAM stick

    My apologies for being inactive on this thread for so long, but I did reseed it, and the stick still isn't being noticed. [EDIT] At this point, I just removed the stick from my system. I still have it, though.

    Question Motherboard not recognizing RAM stick

    I'll try it. Besides, I need to change my thermal paste. [EDIT] Also, if it means anything, I'm running a Ryzen 3 1200 with TForce Nighthawk RAM at 3200MHz.

    Yes, I have the sticks in my 2nd and 4th DIMM slots.

    Question Motherboard not recognizing RAM stick

    Just today I noted that one of my RAM sticks was off-colored. I checked my task manager only to find out that I had half the memory that I normally would have running at half the minimum speed for DDR4. I tried using sysdm.cpl and msconfig, as well as tweaking things in my BIOS, all to no...

    [SOLVED] Total Hell, Very Confused

    Now that you've mentioned it, my 8 and 24 pin connectors look very squished in the config I have them in. I'll look into it ASAP.

    [SOLVED] Total Hell, Very Confused

    I've had this system for just over 2 years and basic programs and low-intensity games run perfectly fine on this system. However, recently, I decided to get into more hardware-intensive games. That's when I hit a snag. Within 5 minutes of opening and playing the game, my system locks up for no...

    Hardware Reserved Memory

    Last night, I built an AM4 gaming PC, installed windows, downloaded driver software, and updated my BIOS. All is working well, except for my Team T-Force NightHawk White RGB RAM (16GB DDR4 3200). When I went to view the amount of memory that I had via task manager, I saw that I only had 3.5GB...

    Which is better i5 6500/6400 or i3 7100 with zotac gtx 1050ti mini 4gb

    Both processors will work well with the 1050Ti, but the i5 has more cores than the i3, which will lead to better performance under less load. (And if you really want, you can get a 1060 3GB for $50 more, which would have much better performance).

    MEMORY_MANAGEMENT: Critical System Config Error, Driver Failure, or HDD damage?

    I've been experiencing major issues with my PC for the last month or so, and BSOD errors were frequent. One of the more common errors went by MEMORY_MANAGEMENT. I've run multiple memtests, and no issues were found. I recently ran an SFC, and to my surprise, there was a corrupted file that the...

    Best high static pressure fans

    I've been looking into buying the NZXT Kraken X62 AIO cooler, and heard that fans with a high static pressure work better for radiators than standard "high airflow" fans. Upon hearing this, I wanted to know some good options for 140mm fans that have the trait.

    What should I do? (Ryzen 3 bottleneck/upgrade path)

    I can't thank you enough for the feedback you've given me! I was actually scared that I would have to stick with my current system, which has a damaged HDD and a dead socket type (FM2+). I thought that I would have had to save for a Ryzen 7 system, which came out to about $2700 for me (...

    What should I do? (Ryzen 3 bottleneck/upgrade path)

    As soon as I heard of AMD's new line of "Zen" processors (Ryzen 3), I became intrigued, and wanted to try it out so that I can get on an upgrade path to Ryzen 7 and a GTX 1080. But when I saw the benchmarks for the Ryzen 3 1200, I was shocked that a $110 processor would perform that well. Now, I...
