Good idea, I'll see about getting a Gparted usb put together.

Nope, just one slot in it. It's a super small board.

There's actually already a SATA SSD in there. I think my friend tried that after the m.2 didnt show up. I don't think I have another sata that size to test with, but let me look around.

Hello all. I'm trying to setup a computer for a family friend but the windows installer isn't detecting the harddrives. the BIOS detects the harddrive but the installer does not. I've tried messing around with various BIOS settings, and the family friend said they updated the BIOS (not sure how...

I take it back, After another restart, I am suddenly getting video output from the graphics card as well.:/

OK, took way longer than expected but I have an update. I reseated the CPU and I'm not sure if that did it or I just figured out the right combo, but I now can get display out of the Motherboard at least. I had to fix up my boot and reinstall windows (something I needed to do anyways) and I'm...

Yeah it was running fine with those two installed. I need to grab some more thermal paste, I'll reseat everything today and see if that does anything.

OK, some more info. I double checked everything you posted and performed several full resets. I found out the trouble system is an Alienware Aurora R5. I exhibited the following behaviors even after 3 CMOS/power resets, a couple of which I extended the times you recommended (hold down for 2...

Just the IPSKL-SC system. I found out that I can remove the (not sure what it's called exactly) faceplate on the graphics card, which allowed me to test seating it better. That did not seem to solve the issue. When I power on, everything starts spinning up, I get harddrive lights, fans on the...

Also, I took the Intel i7 6700 and put it in my Asus H170 Pro Gaming motherboard, no problems on that end.

Thanks for the reply. Ok, doing some digging, it looks like the motherboard is an IPSKL-SC. I took out an Intel Core i7 6700 and put in an Intel Core i5 6500

Hello All, A friend of mine gave me his old Gaming Laptop. It is an Alienware desktop, still trying to figure out what model it is. Some of his components were direct upgrades to my desktop, so I removed the geforce 1070 graphics card and the intel i7 processor and swapped them out with my...

Hello all, So I have this nerdy dream of one day smelting my own ingot of copper (for kicks/science/bucketlist). To that end, I am always saving copper I find. Yesterday I began junking my old gaming PC, may it rest in peace. There were various components that I identified as having copper in...

anotherdrew, thanks for the reply! I'll give that a go and see if that works!

Hello all, I am having trouble getting some of my home devices to connect to my printer. I've had various issues with it from time to time, but right now I cannot get my wife's laptop to connect to it to save my life. I'm going to post a picture that shows my home network. I think it's a bit...
