    MacBook Pro 2019 16 GB very slow last couple of months. Fan constantly comes on and runs high, even with no CPU load. CPU periodically runs high for long durations, goes back down close to 1% at which point it is ok. But in a while it will go above 50% without me doing anything different. Load...

    [SOLVED] eleven (11) beeps when booting ASUS P8Z77-V LX LGA 1155

    Thank you. Sorry for wrong link -- but beep code table matches exactly with the correct one: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1155/P8Z77-V_LX/E8533_P8Z77-V_LX.pdf -- after looking around, I've seen that same table printed in other sites, seems to be the only official information. I...

    [SOLVED] eleven (11) beeps when booting ASUS P8Z77-V LX LGA 1155

    I get presently eleven (11) beeps when booting ASUS P8Z77-V LX LGA 1155. This is when I power it off and on. It doesn't seem to beep when Windows 10 decides to reboot. From the motherboard documentation, this doesn't match the BIOS beep code table at all. The beeps sound completely evenly spaced...

    Question Which CPU was your very first one?

    Intel 8088. 4.77 RAGING Mhz. Guess who made it? My father purchased it for, I don't know, $5K with the discount? Or less? Not sure. I still have it. No idea if it still works. It was still working in the 90s. It presently holds down the carpet at the bottom of the closet.

    [SOLVED] Which of these Thermaltake PSUs good? Or are they all bad?

    Anyone have an opinion on Thermaltake TR2 800W? I seem to have this in my desktop now and am about decided it is causing me a lot of problems, after switching in another motherboard. I can't replace it just yet, but I will take out the extra GPU that may be pushing it over the edge. Sadly, at...

    Sata ports dropping like flies?

    I've started to get a similar symptom on my box. I have the same board as OP. I only have three HDDs hooked to my SATA and started getting a blinking cursor issue for when I thought it should be booting my Windows 10. It looks like what happened is the HDD with Windows 10 is on a SATA port that...
