My ASRock BIOS is version 1.60. I am starting to wonder if my NVMe drive could be the culprit as well. When I restarted this morning the PC started scanning and repairing my drive for some reason. Everything booted back up fine, but this caught me off guard.

So to start with, I think this one is on me. I changed out MBs at the last minute and went with the ASRock X570 PG Velocita board, Ryzen 9 3900X, and G-Skill Trident Z Neo RGB RAM 32GB (8x4) XMPed to 3600. This was on the QVL for the board I originally planned on getting, but I failed to confirm...

I still have 8 days left to return the RAM if you all agree that is likely the issue.

I figured that was likely the issue, but I'm glad you confirmed it for me. As for IObit, can you explain why that is such a bad move? Is it not a reputable program?

So a little backstory is needed...I built/upgraded my parents' dinosaur of a PC using the following configuration: Tower/Case Rosewill ATX Case CPU AMD Ryzen 3 3200G 4-Core Unlocked Desktop Processor with Radeon Graphics Motherboard MSI X470 Gaming Plus Max ATX Motherboard RAM Silicon...

Yeah I think the TrendNet may be the most economical option for what I am looking to do. Oh well, I havent really skimped elsewhere, why start now, right? lol

If it only does 4K @30Hz, I doubt it would handle 1440p @144hz.

Thanks for the info, but I experienced both the software side of KVMs and the hardware side at my last job, and while the software KVMs worked well at times, they also gave us a ton of headaches. I would prefer to get a dedicated hardware KVM to control my PC and laptop display/keyboard/mouse...

Hello all, I am building a new PC for both gaming and work so I am gunning for a QHD setup using DisplayPort 1.2. I am looking for a KVM switch for the display ports on my work laptop and my personal PC, but I do not want to sacrifice capabilities by doing so. I am struggling to find a good KVM...

I assumed that would be the main item not up to par with the rest. I also don't know that much about monitors as far as what is overkill and what returns benefit me aside from knowing I want an IPS panel with a solid refresh rate, response time, and aspect ratio. I also can't go much larger than...

I have posted once on this build before, but have made a number of improvements for my plan for now and the future. I do not plan to upgrade the GPU to a better one until the shortage dies down a bit, but still wanted a solid GPU for now without dropping $1500 on that alone. I already have the...

Thanks! I had missed that tab when I looked at the website itself. I'm a technical writer in IT, so I know enough to know what I don't know, but I am not experienced in flashing the BIOS. I found the files and know to download the latest non-beta, but I don't see anything tagged as beta in my...

I have read a lot about people needing to update the BIOS on this motherboard via Flash to get everything to work properly. I couldn't find a thread where this specific comparison was asked about, so I guess I will ask here. Is it necessary to flash update the BIOS on the ASRock X570 PG...

The M.2 upgrade down the road is one of the key selling points to me on that X570 board. I love the heat sinks on the M.2 slots as well!
