You might also want to check out the blurb about contact frames for intel cpus: see gamer's nexus - and the prequel - and Tom's hardware review of the contact frame - could improve your thermals but could also void your warranty and with these larger sockets and cpus both cpu warping and bent...

Well kinda struggling to get pci-e 5.0 m.2 support mobo for under $500 so it's pci-e 4.0 m.2 support with ddr 5 and I can only find 64gb ddr5 kits on pc partpicker so if you want more like 128gb or 256gb ddr 5 you might have to ask a manufacturer directly for advice like g.skill. be prepared...

There are no good gfx cards for such a low powered psu, full stop. Corsair TXM/RXm/RMi/RM or EVGA G2/3/5 650w. PSU Tier List Or could also search each and every unit for the best price near you or select a tier b unit but it always leaves a ? in the air if it isn't tier a when...

No I don't think you understood. Your pc isn't broken just the windows install corrupted when you enabled tpm. If you want to save the data from your windows drive you can clone the data partition to another disk and rummage through it later and retrieve anything you want. Then just run...

There ain't no instructions with it. I found 21h1 simply wouldn't automatically update to 22h2 at the time there was only the media creation tool on microsoft now there is 22h2 update assistant. So something got fixed since then, sort of but still no real explanation.

Well I don't know what version of windows you had installed my windows 21h1 fell apart and the media creation tool wasn't working, so I downloaded the iso from an external source, used rufus to make the usb and then did a clean install and then downloaded 22h2 from MS and did a clean install of...

Make a new windows 10 setup usb?

Often windows setup repair fails to diagnose or automatically fix windows problems sounds like your install got corrupted somehow. to retrieve data you want is another kettle of fish needing a spare drive usually tbh if you take it to a shop they will not bother with the hassle of that good...

I don't know what you're doing how could you install ubuntu if the drives were unplugged? Could load memtest... presumably windows setup loads off a usb? You're confusing me PC stopped working out of nowhere is starting to sound more like did something but not sure what it was boots to os...

You can load utilities like disk genius on to a usb flash drive like windows setup. Could you clone it on your laptop... I guess if you have 2 sata ports in it. I mean you could use disk genius to clone a disk in some scenarios with it but don't in this one. However if you can just load...

At this juncture 'whatever will boot' is good enough you are only looking to see which of the dimms may be defective. This approach has a drawback though: If they all have a problem or if it isn't the dimms there's not a lot of useful information to work with. It's just in case it might be...

What. did you download the right bios for your mobo? You know the AX version will have it's own unique support page and bios, right? What's the full model name of 'the ax version'? You got a different mobo so you can't use the link for the first model of mobo you had. The twinkly led will...

What power supply exact make/model/age? I suspect ram so I'd start with that. Take out all 4 dimms and try them 1 at a time in socket a2 'til you find one that works (will load windows setup. 4gb is the minimum but it should work) System posts so it probably isn't the mobo and rarely do cpus...

I don't think microsoft has any plans to cater to users who dun like it. Years ago read about some xp holdouts paying da bomb to keep support for it going for some purpose but not gamers. Windows 95 got a cpu support patches to support more than a 200mhz cpu I think that was it. I mean...

Uh not sure depends if 'reset to factory settings'/clr cmos switches tpm 2.0 off again or if it's off by default. Don't really know what happened there or whether it's on or off by default. So is it off now? Try switch it off first and reboot and well I'm not sure if a windows setup usb has...
