    1 stick of RAM works fine, two doesnt

    Just wanted to come back to this thread to let y'all know that I fixed the problem. I fixed the bent pin(s) in my motherboard's CPU socket and sure enough after 30 minutes with magnified glasses and a needle it's all in working order again! Thank you to everyone who responded with help!

    1 stick of RAM works fine, two doesnt

    Thanks Chicano! I'm out of town right now but I guess I'm going to take out my CPU and try to bend the pins back to be even more precise. Thank you for the response!

    1 stick of RAM works fine, two doesnt

    Thanks for the response mbarnes86! Yes, if I'm using 1 stick of RAM I can put it in any slot and it will work just fine. I do not know if the pin I bent on the socket is related to memory because I can't find the schematic of the CPU online :(

    1 stick of RAM works fine, two doesnt

    Hello, I recently upgraded my CPU and mother board in my desktop. These were the only parts I replaced. However, when I finally finished the upgrade as I tried to turn on my computer it would boot up for about 5 seconds and then shut down. A few seconds go by and it would automatically turn on...

    More powerful USB network adapter?

    I'm looking to get a new adapter to replace this one. The reason for this is because I'm pretty far from my router (30 feet direct line) I only get about 40 mbps on my current adapter, but when I connect through ethernet I get 80 mbps. I already tried a PCI-E card and I am clearly way too far to...

    New wireless PCI-E card diminishing my download speed

    I'm stupid. I should have tried this earlier. The card itself was fine I was just too far away from my router. I moved my desktop right next to it and it worked fully functional. I'm sorry I don't know how to delete/lock this thread. If a moderator could help me out, that'd be great.

    New wireless PCI-E card diminishing my download speed

    I recently bought this PCI-E wireless adapter. Just for extra information, the reason I bought it was because my old adapter was only putting up a download speed of 45 mbps when I have 75 mbps. The weird thing is, my upload speed is fine it's just the download speed. I figured that the reason it...

    Replacing my Motherboard and CPU, what do I need to do?

    I am upgrading my CPU (AMD A8-6600k) to an Intel i5-6600k. My current motherboard is an FM2 socket type so I will also be replacing my motherboard to the appropriate socket type (LGA 1151). Now, I shouldn't have any problems with the physical replacement, but I am not too sure if I'm supposed to...

    First time booting, screen stays black

    Ok, the number is 1308 so August 2013. So what you are saying is that it doesn't need that pin? Or what? Do I have to download the BIOS from the website? If so, how cause I cannot get on that computer.

    First time booting, screen stays black

    Hello, I recently just finished building my new computer and everything inside the case runs nice and smoothly. All of the fans run and there is a green light on the GPU. I just start it up and the monitor just black screens. No BIOS or OS shows up. Here are my specs: CPU: AMD A8-6600k 3.9 GHZ...
