this means that your CMOS battery is dead. All you need is to order another CMOS battery. Find one online or in a store near you. Get a pretty high quality one to make sure it lasts a while.

Of course👍 1660 would be better because if you were doing anything too GPU intensive, it would limit the ability of the CPU, and running x2 4K resolution monitors is a pretty big task for the APU/iGPU. The Ryzen 7 5700G would be faster than the i5-10400F only if it wasn't being used with the...

It is definitely worth grabbing the 1660 Super offer. Also, it is not a downgrade in the slightest. The i5-10400F actually performs better than the i7-6700

I believe so, the Dell website lists the latest as A29 https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/product-support/product/optiplex-7010/drivers Select the "BIOS" category and then your OS (which I believe is Windows 10 64-bit) and then it should come up with the latest update

Both 2nd and 3rd generation intel processors use the LGA1155 socket, which is what your MoBo supports. So yes, it would.

Y Yes, it would be able to use an i7-3770K. Make sure the BIOS is completely up-to-date with the 3rd gen intel support, because if you install a 3rd gen on a board that only supports 2nd, it could lead to BAD things.

Disable things that use RAM that you don't need. If you want, you can adjust DRAM timings and some BIOS settings, but considering what I interpret as you thinking that the memory has a fan, I'm not sure if the advanced BIOS is the right place for you to meddle right now. The easiest thing you...

Hopefully, your experience is just a little bit better and faster now. Personally, I'm out of recommendations for increasing the frequency and stability for your DRAM. If you haven't I would disable power down mode for the last push for stability. Keep GDM on, Power Down mode off, and try to...

What CPU are you running with your motherboard? it could be that the BIOS is not up to date enough to support your CPU and you will have to flash the BIOS onto it

looking at your motherboard manual, it only supports up to 2133MHz DRAM frequency, so because your RAM defaults to 2400 it might not work with your MoBo.

Go to your BIOS settings, and set command rate in DRAM timings to Gear Down mode which gives it more stability. Also, set your tRC timing to 48, because the lowest your tRC can go is the timing of your tRAS and tRP added together. It would slightly lower the latency. Also, don't do both of these...

Tightening timings is necessary. You can also go into your BIOS and find Power Down mode. Disabling power down mode gives slight stability improvements if you try to OC

Hmm. You've tried to go into BIOS recovery mode if you have it? Next step is probably to try to run it using a USB boot.

Try going to a local shop or a friend's house who has a volt meter and check if the 8 Pin connector is stable and holding at 12 Also, try a different cord, make sure it's a PCIe cable. It is almost certainly a power supply problem, so just try these things.

have you tried running the PC with only 1 stick of RAM in?
