    Question I broke a pin off my Ryzen 5600X, now my monitors will only respond with 1 stick of RAM, not 2 ?

    Are you saying I need to resolder the pin onto the CPU? I have the broken pin but it's not going to do me any good since I would need specialized tools to solder something that small.

    Question I broke a pin off my Ryzen 5600X, now my monitors will only respond with 1 stick of RAM, not 2 ?

    I took out my Ryzen 5600X to clean and reapply thermal paste. I had trouble this time putting the stock cooler fan back on and used a bit of force to get all four screws to mount to my motherboard properly. When I pressed the power button on my tower, I got no response. I removed and reseated...

    [SOLVED] Issues with cloning Windows from SSD to larger SSD

    Yes most of my files were located on my D drive, the HDD, which I'm trying to move over. I suppose that I should just do a clean install with windows on a USB, use another USB for moving over a few files, then reinstalling everything else.

    [SOLVED] Issues with cloning Windows from SSD to larger SSD

    I was referring to all my files, in Documents, Pictures, personal music library folder, Program Files, etc. I suppose they're mostly games and other applications that I can simply reinstall. I managed to boot up from my new drive with all other drives connected. I had to successfully boot with...

    [SOLVED] Issues with cloning Windows from SSD to larger SSD

    There was a drive option specific to the D drive which I disabled and tried restarting. I then ran into continuous boot errors which I couldn't fix by booting from the D drive because the option was somehow not there anymore. Now I am booting from just my new SSD. Is there another way I can go...

    [SOLVED] Issues with cloning Windows from SSD to larger SSD

    Booting from the new drive, with all 3 connected, gives me an error. Just to be clear, should I be able to boot from the new drive if there exist 2 drives with boot info on them? The new drive currently has the EFI system partition from the D drive, and the other partitions including Windows...

    [SOLVED] Issues with cloning Windows from SSD to larger SSD

    Back in comment #6, the only partition I cloned from the D drive was for EFI system, but I left behind all the other files. If I connect the new SSD and the old HDD, the new SSD shows as C and the old HDD as D. It works if I don't connect the old SSD which I don't need at this point. I'd just...

    [SOLVED] Issues with cloning Windows from SSD to larger SSD

    No it is working with only the new SSD connected. When I connect the other drives, it gives me the Reboot error. The only way to boot with all 3 drives is from my D drive, the old HDD. It boots properly with the old config, but the problem again is that I cannot boot from the new SSD with all 3...

    [SOLVED] Issues with cloning Windows from SSD to larger SSD

    Booting from only my new SSD works, but it won't boot if everything else is connected. The only way for me to boot with all 3 drives connected is through my D drive. Is this because of a conflict between different boot drives? This is what Disk Mgmt shows currently, while booted from my D drive...

    [SOLVED] Issues with cloning Windows from SSD to larger SSD

    Actually no I didn't... Well booting from just the new SSD works now. But the desktop was empty as Windows was trying to read from the desktop folder from my now-missing D drive. To port over everything else from my D drive, can I simply drag everything from D drive to C drive using File...

    [SOLVED] Issues with cloning Windows from SSD to larger SSD

    Currently I have a 120GB SSD (C drive) with Windows installed on it and a 1TB HDD (D drive) for storage. I just bought a 1TB SSD and am trying to clone the C drive and Windows on to it using Macrium Reflect. I copied over the partitions on my C drive and also expanded the size on the NTFS...

    Ethernet is fast but wifi is slow only on computer

    My router sits in my room just 5 feet behind me. This past week my computer's been very slow, ranging from "this could be a lot faster" to "is this even loading anymore". I just did a speed test and with wireless I get anywhere from 1-10 Mb/s. With ethernet I get upwards of 65Mb/s, and my phone...
