Happy 2020 and I still don't know why the meter was showing an incorrect value!

I A M S O D U M B ! Resource Monitor showed 1% usage at maximum, I had already removed the headset, keyboard and mouse, disconnected all of the 4 external fans, disabled all RGB, wich I have a lot of in my PC, but I still found no change. I ended up resetting the Perel power meter, waited...

At idle, Afterburner or any other monitoring tool says both the CPU and GPU are consuming around 20 W each, totalling around 50 W. The only thing I see, wich has been like this even before this problem, is the memory being always at full speed (2000 MHz), but that shouldn't be the problem for...

Also, I think the system is consuming exactly 80 W more than before, but I haven't changed anything in Windows or the UEFI. It just suddenly started doing it.

No way, Task Manager and Afterburner both show 1% CPU and GPU usage on IDLE. Also, after 1 month without crashes or bluescreens from the problems I used to have, I just had one right now: driver overran stack buffer

Hello! I built my new gaming PC around May, having switched and replaced every single part of it since then due to technical problems that randomly solved themselves? Anyways, it´s nothing more than an AMD Ryzen 5 1600, a Gigabyte AX370-Gaming 5, a MSI Radeon RX 480 8GB Armor OC, Corsair...

They actually do, how elae wpuld the CPU make contact with the motherboard? The only difference between AM4 and 1151 is that the AM4 socket has a removable built-in plastic cover. They're "V" shaped pins, that, when the lever pulls down the CPU, the CPU pins get nested on the "V" point. It's...

Yes. I think this was just a desperation thread, but, once I have a CPU, I'll test it out. The thing is, I had a MB that would, at least, light up with no CPU installed, wich makes this even more confusing. It was an ASUS H81M-E (OEM). Why would the motherboard not want to start unless the PSU...

Hello! After having 2 DOA motherboards, my Gigabyte AX370 Gaming 5 motherboard finally arrived today. I still don't have a CPU, because I sent it to RMA thinking it was the CPU and not the motherboard, so now I have everything but a CPU. After turning on the PSU switch, my motherboard does NOT...

Sorry, but this is a rare but annoying problem that's NOT (most of the times) caused by hardware, but simply software problems like bad drivers, incompatibility, etc. I have the same problem with my MSI Armor RX 480 Armor 8 GB OC and I already know it's not a hardware problem due to multiple...

Did you fix it? I have the exact same problem and it's definitely not my GPU, as it's new and I swapped it out to test, but the problem didn't disappear. It's very likely the RAM, as the system cuts a stick when booting...

I've already followed that website closely, but to no avail, but thanks anyways... This is just a driver problem because every BSOD, crash and warning is related to bad/incompatible drivers... I got to love Windows 10 + AMD's unstable drivers... I installed Windows 7, so let's see what we get.

Hello! After installing Windows 10 Pro 64-bit 1903, my MSI Armor RX 480 8 GB OC's Wattman settings crash and make my monitor black for some seconds randomly while using my PC. Also, Windows seems to block applications from acessing GPU drivers and crash them (which is extremely annoying in...

I'm using 19.5.2, the normal drivers for my GPU, as 19.7.1 crash on startup and are ust messy with my PC to the point I can't start a benchmark without it crashing. AMD drivers are absolute garbage in terms of stability...

As I said, my CPU is an AMD Ryzen 5 1600, wich has NO IGPU... Also, Windows used to crash sometimes on startup, so I fully reinstalled everything and now it only crashed CS:GO right after opening it up and reset WattMan settings... I read MSI Afterburner can cause crashes on AMD GPUs, so I'm...
