    Question PC restarts to BIOS constantly

    Issue #1: I'm encountering an issue with my PC during restarts. After I restart the system, it consistently boots into the BIOS rather than directly to Windows. To get to Windows, I need to exit the BIOS, but the system often restarts and goes back into the BIOS again. This process may repeat...

    Question Contact cleaner on motherboards?

    Has anyone ever tried using any contact cleaner like the WD40 Contact Cleaner on a motherboard that is powered on or while the computer is running? I couldn’t find any information about it. I like to know if I could use the cleaner while the pc is running.

    Question Does the logo on fans matter?

    Just looking at the fans, there’s nothing. I would assumed I may have to remove the fans to see if there’s any writings under the fans?

    Question Does the logo on fans matter?

    I owned these two Powercolor RX 580 Red Devil. I just noticed yesterday their logo on the fans are different. Are they supposed to be same? Or why they are different?

    Here’s the update.... After I put in a new CR2032 battery on the motherboard (cmos), the issue solved. The blue screen never came back and now running like a champ. I was going to buy a new CPU but not anymore. Take it from my experience. Thanks guys.

    [SOLVED] Strange Timeout Watchdog Clock, bsod

    No clone. All fresh. Keep in mind. Now that I took out the wifi card, I won’t always get the Timeout Watchdog Clock blue screen, I would get a black screen too. It varies from black screen to Timeout Watchdog Clock screen.

    [SOLVED] Strange Timeout Watchdog Clock, bsod

    Yeah I just thought of that now that you brought this up. The PC boots up fine. It’ll randomly go into bsod while surfing the web or playing Fortnite or watching youtube. For sure I’ll try the 120gb later.

    [SOLVED] Strange Timeout Watchdog Clock, bsod

    I had a Samsung evo 860 120gb. It was running fine until I booted in the Samsung evo 860 500gb, then I started experiencing the bsod. But, I also tried using a HDD and still experiencing the bsod. So I’m almost 100% positive it could not be a hard drive issue. It has to be a bad PSU, CPU or...

    [SOLVED] 3500x or 3600?

    I haven’t thought of that. Yeah I’ll check the list. Nice suggestions. I owned the b450 Tomahawk, currently running on R3 2200G. Thinking about an upgrade. I might just go with the 3600.

    [SOLVED] 3500x or 3600?

    The 3500x is a China CPU. Will the 3500x compatible with our motherboards sold in US? My co worker is selling his used 3500x for $130. I don’t want to buy it and turns out I have to do extra tuning just to operate it properly. Or, should I stick to buying the 3600?
