    Question Audio keeps cutting out on Windows 11 Home ?

    I have realtek drivers instsalled to the latest version. This started happening a couple of weeks ago. Basically, my sound keeps cutting out all the time. Usually a few seconds into paying a game. I can only get my headphones to work properly. It's the speakers that are the problem. It cuts out...

    Question Will a B460 run 3200Mhz Ram?

    Yes, that's the one. So, the DDR4 3200Mhz won't work at all? Or will the PC just clock it back to work at 2666Mhz? I would just rather not buy more Ram at present.

    Question Will a B460 run 3200Mhz Ram?

    Question 4800Mhz Memory Running at 4000Mhz

    I'm not so savvy, so I don't really know what that means. Do I have to enable another setting in bios for it to work at intended speeds?

    Update: I was recommended to do a DDU and this, along with installing the gpu driver without adrenaline seems to have solved the problem. Thanks everyone

    Question New build crashing randomly

    I'll try that, but do you think it could be a GPU hardware issue? The GPU is still under warranty and I'd rather be without a PC for a few weeks than having a faulty card.

    Question New build crashing randomly

    Thanks for the help. I took a chance and updated the bios, since then I haven't had a single crash. So maybe I had done something in Bios that was causing this issue. I'll keep an eye on it, and look into it again with your tips if it happens again.

    Question Bent socket pins

    Unfortunately I can't try that without building the system up again. I have taken out old PC parts and upgraded. I guess I have enough components to build up a pc just for testing but it's a lot of work. Guess that's the only way to know for sure, though?

    Question Bent socket pins

    I accidentaly bent two of the socket pins on a motherboard I'm selling. The motherboard is an MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Pro Carbon, S-115 if that has anything to say. The CPU that was previously installed was a i9-9700k. I managed to bend the pins back with a needle until they looked right and then...
