    [SOLVED] Can my motherboard / PSU run a GTX 1060?

    700 watt is a decent supply and is more than enough to run a GTX 1060 - you could prolly run 2 or 3. All you motherboard needs is a PCIe slot, which if you are already using a GTX 750 you obviously have.

    BIOS Update Failure Please Help!!!!!!

    What happened during bios update? Did it go correctly? Normally you should get an update successful message after. Have you tried clearing the CMOS since the update? (Completely remove battery for about an hour - doesn't always take that long, depends on model but just to be on the safe side)

    [SOLVED] Motherboard missing psu pins

    Why is this a problem? You said your PSU is connected to the only power socket on the board no, the 18 pin one, so what is the problem? Did the PSU die? There are adapters which will turn a 24pin supply into and 18pin supply but not the other way around obviously, so if you have a 24 pin PSU you...

    This may be completely off the mark but I am just suggesting as you seem to have checked thoroughly already... I once had problem with SSD causing crashes and restarts because of the firmware, once I updated it was okay. Maybe check firmware updates for your other hardware too, you didn't...

    Z390 Aorus super slow USB 3.0 transfer speeds...

    UPDATE: So today I noticed that under Disk Drives in Device Manager USB was setup for Quick Removal rather than Best Performance... changing that option upped speeds from 1Mb/s to 20-40Mb/s... which is better but still not the speed you would expect from USB 3.0 surely? Isn't max USB 3.0...

    Bios loop when trying to install windows on a new motherboard

    Have you tried hitting F12 (I think normally) and choosing the boot order manually? Are you sure the USB is actually being recognized as a bootable drive? (you can check by plugging into any windows 10 machine, normally the icon is different for bootable media with little green arrow) If you...

    [SOLVED] Can't access to BIOS features > freeze (GIGABYTE Z170-HD3P)

    The F4 revision is one of the earliest bios version for your mobo, latest is the F22g. An update probably wouldn't hurt, at the same time however if it has been working all this time like that it may be worth trying to figure out why suddenly went wrong. Have u tried simply resetting the bios...
