I've heard good things about the sabertooth, and I agree that the 9590 is not the best option, thanks for the help. I'll probably wait to be able to get a Ryzen.

That makes sense, I have an EVGA Gold 850w modular power supply, and a h100i v2 for cooling. I am open to other suggestions of cpu's and motherboards. I apologize for any lack of information.

Gotchya, I already have cooling and power taken care of. So i guess a better question would be what would you reccomend for a mobo/cpu combination with the cpu having 8 cores.

While the Ryzen is tempting I only have a msi 970-g46 mobo, so I would have to upgrade that in order to use them, unfortunately my budget is only around 3-400 for both a mobo and cpu. I'd like to stay with an msi board and an amd cpu as my gpu is an msi model. I need to upgrade for the use of...

I'm looking at buying an AMD fx-9590 220w 8-core 4.7ghz processor and I was wondering if there are any MSI mobos that would suppport that. DDR3 memory support would be nice but If neccessary I can move up to DDR4.

Make sure your video settings aren't defaulting to the Radeon HD Graphics, also how many Gb's of VRAM does your gpu have? Last question, how much RAM do you have?

I would suggest GSkill Sniper series RAM, lifetime warranty and I've never had an issue with them, you should be able to get 8gbs for around 64$ 2x4gb cards for reduced cas latency

DVI to HDMI

So I took out the non-os drive and when I try to access bios it is a black screen I have BIOS v1.4 for my motherboard which the most updated version is v1.11 CPU:AMD Zambezi Quad-Core F3-12800CL9S-4GBSR

To answer, it does boot to windows, about 3min boot up on a SSD

It might be a status code, although either way bios is non-functional

So it looks like your motherboard with the CPU you have cannot handle 8gb of RAM with more than 1060 Mhz, which is why the old ram cards work. I would suggest getting another set of the A-DATA 2gb ram cards to make up a full 8gb.

When I start my computer instead of the MSI loading screen I get three error codes the first two very quickly B4-A2 then it sits on B2 for a long while, then it goes to the windows startup screen. I have tried resetting CMOS and flashing the correct version of BIOS on the computer, however when...

Solved in another thread.

So i may have isolated the issue, i just need a bit more information. -32 or 64-bit windows 7 -Also what type of connection are you using to connect the computer to the monitor/ what outputs does your graphics card have? -Lasty what CPU do you have?
