Recently got a new PC after the old one went kaput. I purchased this RAM knowing I'd have to enable the overclock profile included to get the full performance. I booted Windows 11 without the profile enabled for a few days just fine. Went to enable it today and booted into Windows 11 just fine...

I thought about it and its not worth it. I already did the warranty claim with EVGA since the PSU has a ten year warranty. I’m thanking my past self for not cheaping out. The specs are in my signature.

Shut my PC down last night like I usually do and went to sleep. The mouse usually stays on when the PC is off and I haven’t been able to figure out why, so this morning when I saw the mouse was still on I didn’t think anything. Went to power it on and the power button did absolutely nothing. Its...

Update your BIOS and set it to default settings. Turn all memory overclocks off. Run memtest. If you’re still having RAM issues test the sticks individually. If one has issues, RMA.

You can always visit https://www.cablemod.com for new cables. They're expensive but the quality is top tier. If that's not a great solution, you should just cancel the order or return it once it arrives. Just make sure returns are free!

AMD just announced the 8000 series APUs, and the 8700G looks very promising for what you want to do. Would recommend a build similar to this. I assumed since you're not a gamer you don't care for RGB nonsense, so I went with fully meshed case for more airflow...

https://www.crystal-display.com From the short research I did, it looks like this company makes custom sunlight readable touchscreens on a per order basis, and also sells a 27 inch 1600 nit display non-touchscreen. I would give them a call or send an email; both can be found top left of the...

Does the keyboard work in the BIOS? Is your mouse working? Do any of the USB ports work with CD drives, USB sticks, etc.?

I am a big fan of Phanteks cases, I currently have a P400S and I love it. Very sleek design with great airflow and very easy to build in. Would recommend the G300A, you can either get it with no fans in the front and put your own or order it with Phanteks fans. There is space for a 240mm...

In order from best to worst (none are bad): 1. Asus 2. Gigabyte 3. MSI My personal opinion? My 8 year old Gigabyte board is still going strong; been through multiple PSUs, in and out of different cases, overclocks, and has been very happy. Had an Asus board that died after 4 years. I'm sure a...

Okay cool that's what I was confirming, I wanted to make sure you weren't getting a PCIE 3 drive with a PCIE 4 motherboard. Like I said, 670P is good. I currently use a 970 PRO and I'm very happy with it, though its $150 right now and I'm assuming your budget is $100.

Get a USB stick. You'll need to format it as FAT32. Once you do that, download the official drivers for this motherboard on Gigabyte's website; the most recent BIOS version is F65b. Put the BIOS files onto the USB drive. Shut down your PC and go into the BIOS (hit F12 or the delete key). Hit...
