    Can I replace dead mobo without having to reinstall windows?

    Hi there, Recently my old MSI 970A - G46 motherboard died in an accident, and I needed to replace it. I bought the Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2 as its replacement, and I was previously running Windows 7 home premium. I also have an Fx 8350 as my CPU. When I replace my mobo, will I need to...

    Does the Asus TUF Sabertooth pair with the fx8350 right out of the box?

    Hello, I need to buy a new mobo to replace a broken one that didn't pair with my AMD fx8350, and I was recommended this one. However closer inspection revealed that users were required to update the BIOS so that the board may properly interact with the fx8350 cpu. Is this mobo not compatible...

    Originally thought it was the PSU, now I need a new motherboard.

    Hello, recently my motherboard killed itself due to the circuitry not actually supporting my fx8350, and now I need to buy a new motherboard that both definitely supports a gtx 970 and fx8350. What is a good motherboard that supports the aforementioned parts? Additionally, I would also like...

    Loud pop followed by smoking mother board.

    Hi, I guess I just suck at building computers because I get a new crippling problem every year. So after working fine for almost an entire year, my computer decides to shut off mid game. When I tried to turn it back on, nothing happened — no light, no spinning fans, nothing. So I thought it...

    Monitor says "No Signal." Is it my GPU?

    My PC turns on, but my monitor says "no signal." I've tried using VGA cable and HDMI, but I still get no signal. I've just recently replaced my motherboard so that might have something to do with it. Unplugged and replugged the GPU, made sure the CPU was connected to the PSU, but I'm still not...

    The GPU is connected to the PSU if that is what you mean.

    Is my CPU busted?

    So my computer died after a whole year without incident. I've figured out that when the CPU is connected to the PSU, the whole PC won't turn on. Is this a problem with the CPU or the motherboard? I have an AMD fx8350 processor and a relatively cheap $40 AMD motherboard. PSU is an 860W corsair...

    PC died, no clue what's wrong.

    My pc decided to stop working one day and it has not started since. It just stopped. Whenever I try the power button, the LEDs turn on for a split second, then won't flash again until I turn the actual psu off and on again. I thought it was a psu problem, until I bought a replacement psu and the...

    Good enough to keep an FX-8350 cool???

    So I bought an FX-8350 for my new pc, and I didn't really think twice about the cooling until later. I was wondering if the cooling I have now: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103091 Is good enough to keep the CPU under 60 degrees. I really don't want this thing...
