    Asus Z170 Pro Gaming M.2 bios startup speed

    I just installed a samsung 970 pro 512gb ssd. After a painstaking process of finally getting it to work and boot properly, I have a working copy of windows 10 that boots. Unfortunately, when I turn on the power, the bios posts, waits 3 seconds (as I have set it), then a black screen, another...

    Huawei Matebook X Pro Stylus Problem

    I ended up bringing it to the Microsoft store and apparently the laptop is not compatible with pens even though they had told me beforehand that it is. Apparently their information was wrong so they gave me a refund for the pen.

    Will not post bios after installing aftermarket cooler

    I just found the answer myself. Looks like I freaked out for nothing. The instructions included with the noctua said to take the backplating that was included with the motherboard and use it with the brackets of noctua. By doing that the heatsink was not making contact with the CPU. I took...
