I tried this. So far no issues. I will keep you updated.

I have one solid state hard drive that is plugged in via USB but it is just for backup.

Sometimes when I click on my C drive to go inside there is a noticeable lag that may take up to a minute to resolve. Sometimes this also happens if I'm using file explorer and trying to get to my desktop. The problem only seems to happen once after my computer has been booted up for the first...

Just bought the ASUS 4090 TUF videocard. Based on the research I've done, an 850 watt power supply should be sufficient but I wanted to double check.

Thanks I'll see if he wants to try it out.

My grandpa likes playing old school games such as might and magic iv but he now has Parkinson’s making it difficult to play some games. He’s 87 years old and just wants to be able to spend his last years enjoying some games. Is there an easy game like might and magic that doesn’t require a...

I took the CPU out of the socket and inspected it. CPU looks good. Cleaned it and the heatsink and reapplied thermal paste. Getting same results as before.

I've trying resetting the CMOS and tried using the RAM in every single slot individually and have even tried unplugging fans, and I can still not get the computer to stay on. Is it worth removing the CPU or I assume it definitely will not turn on without it? Is there a way to turn on the...

Right now I don't have a boot drive at all. I do have a boot usb. I've since formatted all the drives in preparation to sell the computer. Thanks for the information. I will continue working at it and report back.

Unfortunately I did try to boot it with that connector plugged into those prongs. After disconnecting all three SSDs and the four sticks of RAM I was able to get the computer to finally boot up. However when I started reconnecting hardware the problem returned. When I removed all SSDs and RAM...
