Yeah, a lot of of the onboard GPU's are the first thing to go on laptops. Windows 7 Compaqs were notorious for that. Windows 7 AMD laptops were notorious for the processors overheating and killing the motherboard .

The capacitors in the power supply of your monitor could be going bad. They can be replaced however. If you turn it on and it turns right back off even with a video signal, the caps or something in the internal power supply of the monitor has gone bad.

Yeah. I had an older Dell laptop that had 2 Video settings in the BIOS-one for the nvidia chip itself and the other one I don't remember, but it took 2 drivers to power the Display. With my Dell, it would run just fine until you installed both drivers. You could install one or the other, but not...

AMD IS the clear I/O winner here!!! It has more PCIe lanes than Intel with PCIe 4.0. Are you guys afraid of losing followers by giving a win to AMD????? You are going to lose followers anyway if you don't give reviews that give credit where credit is due and for you to say "PCIe 4.0 is so late...

No one has yet said. I have been following this too. They will have to make the new BIOS first of course, which probably is already in the making, but do to strategic sales tactics, they will probably not be in a hurry to release them, because there is little to no difference in performance...

Yeah. Do what richiestang_78 says. If that doesn't work. Disconnect BOTH drives and see if it still hangs at the BIOS screen. If not then the problem is probably not with the motherboard but with the SSD. Go into the device manager after reconnecting and boot it up and see if there are any...

Not a whole lot of difference between 1333 Mhz. and 1600 Mhz. You could use both by trying to set the XMP for 1600, but the BIOS will default to 1333 if you don't. You won't see much difference in having 16 GB of RAM either unless you are editing or having a boatload of windows open on the net...

Yes, and you will need to re-activate Windows 10 as well. You have to have at least a Windows 7 license or an original copy of Windows 10. Make sure you back-up all your pictures, saved games, etc.

Try reseating the Video Card and also make sure all your power cables PCI-express) are connected. Hopefully, you have the correct wattage power supply if it is not bus-fed. If you are using DVI, try setting the monitor manually for DVI. If you are getting video through the motherboard VGA but...

Two things to try. Go into your mouse settings For windows 7 Go into the device manager and uninstall the mouse WITHOUT deleting the drivers. Then reinstall it by clicking on the 'Scan for hardware changes' in the upper left corner of the device manager window. This will re-install the mouse...

It sounds like your PSU is starting to go. It's an older server as well, so I would unplug it and open up the case and examine all the capacitors. They look like little round cans if you don't already know. Look to see if any of them are bulged on the top or swollen. If so, it's time for a...

From what is read at this other site, their wasn't much difference in OC'ing the 3700X any way. https://www.pcgamesn.com/amd/ryzen-7-3700x-overclocking-benchmarks-performance I'd say that the architecture is very well refined and therefore you're not going to get much more horsepower out of...

(WRONG) So a 9600K has 9-10% gaming performance advantage over 3900X and cost of only $220 with a z390 MB for $120. The 9600K does NOT have 9-10% advantage over the 3900X. At best in gaming it sometimes is on par but the rest of the games it loses. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkpWjaGYSGM

I don't see enough advantage here of an Intel motherboard over AMD at all!!!! Intel can't even go two CPU's without making another socket, sometimes only one!! And to just throw PCI 4.0 to the wayside (which NO Intel Motherboard has). Really??? It's also a fact that due to the new architecture...
