UPDATE - its alive!! finally got to swapping the cpu's this morning.. popping the cpu from the other system and installing it in this faulting system worked.. pc is fully operational again. i guess i will be looking for another cpu for my media center pc now.. as i have no intentions of...

mistyped the mobo info.. its a b450 tomahawk max i have flashed the bios but unsure if it took or not, goes through the process of testing on boot (fault leds indicate testing of mobo, cpu, vga etc. it does spend a bit of time on cpu which is why i was thinking of trying the cpu swap from the...

This problem occured in the last week on my kids gaming pc... it was booting fine, and then my kid told me the next day nothing.. hung up on vga fault led.. could this maybe be a bogus bios update push through windows 11 auto update? ryzen 2600 MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX (32gb) 4x8gb crucial...

having the exact same problem.. occured in the last week on my kids gaming pc... was booting fine, and then next day nothing.. hung up on vga fault led.. could this maybe be a bogus bios update push through windows 11 auto update? ryzen 2600 MSI b450m (32gb) 4x8gb crucial ballistix 3000mHz 8gb...

cpu and ram are on the qol list.. for all revisions of the board.. so it should boot.. remove gpu and re-seat it? try another psu? try with only 1 stick of memory? i would start with removing everything from the board and updating the bios, you should find the walk through in the user manual...

have you run a memtest on each stick seperately? do they both pass or is there a stick that fails at or around 21%, triggering a reboot? i would test the memory first to see if one of your sticks has died. another thing to check, as you stated you just changed the cpu... It's also possible...

no problem at all, please remember to like, and select a "solved" button

that sucks :( sorry to hear that.. i would start the RMA process on it. or complete a straight return. if you are looking for liquid, i have used and loved the corsair h100i. imo worth the additional cost due to less headaches. also boasts an aproximate throuhput at peak up to about 84cfm and...

have you checked to ensure you do not have an air lock in your aio pump? or that the pump is working? how old is the aio cooler? they typically only last about 3-5 years with moderate to heavy use before the liquid evaporates inside enough to start showing signs such as thermal throttling. e/...

red blinking led at the power connection is triggered primarily from loss of power, or in some instances, a driver issue. i would start with running the DDR completely remove the software and driver, and download and install fresh.. if it still blinks, i would try a new power supply. i would...

ddr5 with expo tends to take longer all together on a cold boot. i ran into this issue with a recent build myself, and through research; it is simply the databus stacking, so that it can run at the speeds you want or have it set at. I initially was stumped as to the boot times, because my...

I was merely meaning that in the terms that i personally never push any of my power supplies over the 3/4 power capacity threshold of the psu. once everything is added yes it sits around 675w. the less the power supply has to work, theoretically the longer it will last. i never said an 850...

if you are opting for corsair; i would advise to go with their RMX line.. for better overall performance and cooling RMe ~ Taiwan built capacitors, 120mm cooling fan, smaller housing RMx ~ Japan built capacitors, 140mm cooling fan. slightly larger housing

I wouldnt settle with the bare bones wattage rating.. i would future proof the build and go with a 1000w psu that will not have to work as hard. as an example.. it is about $30 difference in price to go up to the 1000w psu over the 850...

currently there are only 2 gpu's capable of running ultra settings at 4k~120hz. Obviously both will have their own individual pros and cons. price point; well theres a huge step between the 2.. the 7900xtx at about $1400usd, and the 4090 at about $2400. at the end of the day it is really your...
