My PCIe slot is blocked too. That's why the 2 options I'm looking at now are new mobo or ditch a drive

Tried this. The end result is the cable nudging up against the GPU pressing it slightly upwards. Looking for an alternative

I recently bought a new Crucial MX500 to add onto my PC in addition to my other 2 drives. My motherboard (Tomahawk B350) has 4 SATA ports, but the most accessible 2 are of course already taken. The other 2 are blocked by my new GPU, which is quite large. I do have SATA cables with a 90 degree...

Ironically I believe I had to switch the opposite setting, but swapping GPUs and then fixing the BIOS settings did the trick

You think it’s better to try the GPU first? I would have thought the issue was more related to the CPU since it’s the Boot light that is turning red during startup

Yeah. I’ll probably try new GPU with old CPU, and then the reverse if that doesn’t work.

MSI B350 Tomahawk. From what I’ve seen online, the newest beta bios works with 5000 series CPU

Last night I swapped out a few parts, most notably my GPU and CPU (I went from a 1070 TI to a 3080 and from a R5 1600 to a 5600 X). I also added in an 850W PSU but I suspect that doesn’t have anything to do with this. My motherboard is a Tomahawk B350, which I just updated to the BIOS that...

Yeah, I can see that this BIOS update is very new. Are there many known issues?

I'll look into new CPU. Could you explain a little more about the beta bios?

I've decided to buy a RTX 3080 to upgrade my 1070TI after about 5 years of use. So far, I know I will have to replace my power supply as well since my old one isn't good enough. Should I anticipate anything else having to be upgraded? My current specs are: GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 TI -->...

For the past few weeks, I have received this error usually when playing games. The game will freeze up for a few seconds, then both of my monitors will cut out while I can hear the game going in the background. At that point I'm forced to reboot, and the following error shows up in Event Viewer...

The more specific model number is R6080. Just to clarify, I'm plugging the router into the modem via an Ethernet cable and then using regular WiFi on my other devices, and that is coming out to be far slower than it should, or when it is when my laptop is plugged directly into my modem.

We have 300mbps internet from Xfinity, and recently got a CM1000 modem and a AC1000 Router to go with it. However, when connecting an Ethernet cable to from the modem to the router, the Ethernet light on the modem display as solid amber, which I know from the manual means it's only running at...
