I purchased some Athlon X4 CPUs with the intention of using them with B450 motherboards. The motherboard in question is the ASUS B450-I Gaming motherboard. According to this compatitbilty chart: https://i.redd.it/ug2ahg9soo031.jpg, this should work. However, when I plug the Athlon into my...

My bad, it was actually an issue with the x16 riser that I was using in my Meshlicious. Replaced the riser and it works fine now without issues.

It was a power delivery issue. Changed PSUs and now it's working fine. Changed back to old PSU and doesn't work anymore. I think it has to do with a burnt cable, but still need to do some more testing on that.

https://ibb.co/nCRggtV I recently installed NVIDIA drivers for my 3080 Ti on Windows 11, but am having major issues with my GPU. The GPU power usage does not go above ~70W, verified using a PMD, even when gaming or running benchmarks. The TDP for this card is 350W GPU-Z shows reported load...

Okay never mind I used a capital letter for the C:/Windows folder and it worked! I rebooted without the old SSD and voila. Thanks so much!

Thanks for the suggestion! Here is what I got as my output: www.pastebin.com/fZTZ9irF As you can see, I'm getting a lot of "Unable to open file" errors

That's a good suggestion although unfortunately I did want a clean start so didn't want to copy stuff off the old drive to the new drive. However I suppose I could clone things from my "old" NVMe to a new NVMe

Yes sir, here you go: View: https://www.imgur.com/a/Fw5Zv3U Disk 0 is the old SSD with Windows 10 installed. Disk 1 is the one I am running, the NVMe drive with Windows 11 installed. Being able to create a boot partition manually would be the ideal option for me!

Darn. Is there any way to make it easier, like making a backup first and then restoring from it after reinstallation? Sorry, I'm a noob at Windows and don't really know about any similar procedures. I don't want to reinstall all my applications and re-configure them and customize all my settings...

So that means I really do reinstall it from scratch? No way to reinstall just the EFI partition?

I tried to reinstall Windows with only the new drive installed, but it didn't detect that version of windows so I could not do an "upgrade" install. Does that mean I have to format it and then do an install that way?

Yes, I think that's what I did. And oh no! Do I need to reinstall windows from scratch? I spent a lot of time setting it up, transferring my files over, and installing my favorite applications :(

I was using Windows 10 on a SATA SSD. I decided to install Windows 11 on an NVMe using a Windows 11 ISO file that I flashed onto an external drive. However, I noticed that the Windows 11 installation on my NVMe did not boot up by itself—it would go straight into the BIOS. Now when I want to...

Update: After following Corsair's instructions for controlling the RAM with ASUS Aura and tweaking some stuff in the BIOS (I set my RAM speeds to 3000MHz, they were previously at 2166MHz), I finally got the RAM to show up in ASUS Aura. However, the RAM sticks don't light up at all anymore. No...
