    Question ROG STRIX Z590-E M.2 SLOTS PROBLEMS

    Thank you for the quick reply! A little bit disappointed that I can not take advantage of the PCIe 4.0 for both drives and the GPU, but well... I guess I'll keep the storage SSD in the M.2_3 slot. Currently using BIOS 1402. That's the latest.

    SSD/HDD Hard Drive Caddy

    Yes, BIOS shows both the original HDD and the new SSD in the boot menu. I can highlight either of them, but it just doesn't allow me to select the one I want. What I mean is, I highlight the SSD with the UP-DWON arrows, then press ENTER on my keyboard and nothing happens. The BIOS just does...

    SSD/HDD Hard Drive Caddy

    That's the whole problem, as stated in my original post, disassembling the laptop hasn't worked for me. Tried to open it, but did not want to open easily so I didn't want to force it and break anything!

    SSD/HDD Hard Drive Caddy

    Hello, Having an inexpensive HP 15-bw011dx that I couldn't disassemble without without breaking anything. I decided to use an HDD/SSD caddy to install an "old" Samsung 840 Pro 256 Gb. The hardware installation went without a hitch, the SSD mounted perfectly into the caddy (Highfine Universal...

    @SkyNetRsing, I proceeded by elimination and the culprit seems to be "Windows Command Processor"! The error is no longer happening upon restart. Thank you for the help.

    I have been getting this script error upon start/restart for a while now. I am not sure if it does anything to my PC, but it's just annoying. It happened to me a few years back (not sure if it's the exact error) but after extensive research, I could not figure out any way to get rid of it and...

    I7 6700K temp spikes

    I am having similar issues with my 6700k as far as temp spikes are concerned and the fans would go crazy! I don't think there is anything you can do about the spikes, but you can remedy the fan speeds with ASUS AI Suite 3. In the FanX section, run the Q fan (I think it's called), it's some type...

    Case fans speeds keep fluctuating when cpu temp spikes please help!!

    I've also had similar issues with both AI Suite III and temp spikes with I7 6700k. The temp spikes seem to be a common "thing" (not sure if one can call it an issue) with the 6700k. I googled 6700k and temp spikes and found many posts/threads describing such issue. Most knowledgeable people seem...
