What power button did you press? Did you press the power button on the motherboard, or on the case?

Can you boot into the bios every time, or only some of the time?

Hello, I recently cloned a small SanDisk ssd to a larger capacity crucial ssd using Macrium Reflect. Everything went fine, everything was cloned properly. When I select the crucial ssd as the boot drive it starts to boot, goes through the windows 10 logo, but gets stuck on a black screen with...

What are your current specs?

Especially for demanding programs such as premiere and vegas, you're going to want those 4 cores (8 threads).

In my experoence, the motherboard manuals can be wrong. I had the same problem, and I installed extra ram in the wrong slots, and everything works well. Most likely no performance decrease.

It is most likely the result of your driver not installed. Sometimes, you don't need to install drivers and sometimes you do. When you can, install the drivers and hopefully it will work.

Make sure that the wire that you plug into your mobo (that should be plugged in) isn't even SLIGHTLY touching the fan blades. This happened to me and my fans wouldn't spin. However, the fan needs to be plugged in and into the correct fan header on the mobo. Hope this helps! :D

Hi, I was wondering what the best way to apply thermal paste to my 4790k is. I know that there are lots of methods and that others work better for certain cpu's. Thanks in advance.

A mod that I recently completed was installing LED's into my case that has a side window. It is EXTREMELY easy and makes it look AMAZING. The LED's that I used are these: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0046Y5Z5G/ref=pe_385040_127541850_TE_item They come in different colors, are cheap, and have a...

Very nice build you have there. The fx-8350 might be just a little over kill for gaming as it's an 8 core cpu, but for the price I wouldn't change it. I noticed that you didn't have a case picked out. Make sure that the case can fit the 212 evo as it's a VERY tall cpu cooler. Good idea to have...

The great thing about gaming (unlike video rendering) is that it isn't a very cpu-heavy task. The cpu you picked out has 4 cores at 3.5 ghz which is very good for gaming. And since you are getting a dedicated graphics card (and a good one at that), you won't need to worry about the intel...
