Wow, sorry for the late reply. I got distracted and forgot about this problem enteirely. No, I did not reset CMOS. about to do that now... Will report back! Also, yes all 3 packs were purchased at the same time from the same place. They are perfect matches.

Hi, So only 4 of my 6 sticks of ram show up as active. That's when I check my BIOS and also ran RAMExpert once booted. I'm not sure really where I should start as far as repairing the issue. All 6 of the RAM RGB LED's light up just fine... Also, maybe this is relative information, but recently...

So, when I powered up my PC and began to boot, it shorted and shut down. Now when I turn on the power switch to the psu the Mobo power light blinks rapidly as well as the rgb lights. I just replaced the PSU today, but no luck resolving anything. I'm hoping if indeed it's just the Mobo it can...

So, I just added a waterblock to my pre-existing loop, but ever since my display goes out after about 10-15 seconds after startup. The display cuts regardless of me booting to BIOS or to windows.... I can only assume this is a problem with my GPU, but I don't want to flush the whole system and...

Thank you both for your responses. Yeah the only device I have that supports MU-MIMO is my desktop which I have Ethernet to anyway. The hiccup is indeed that if I were to sell the x45 I would most want to do it still unopened. Hmm, solid answers both validating that this is a tricky decision.

I currently have a 1gb internet connection and use it a ton. That's a bunch of IoT, live stream TV, and often run two gaming consoles online at the same time. Occasional lag but why wouldn't I, it's normal. But I unexpectedly just received a Netgear x40 R7600-100NAS router for free unopened. I...

I just did a little test, because my personal first guess was it's too much on my PSU. I unpluggedy HD and booted to bios. It stayed on LONGER but still shut down

RAM is secure and appears to already have been in place

Ok, I'll check the RAM, But to note I did not remove the RAM while moving the components... Let me respond back in a moment after ch ecking

I just upgraded my PC case, my system is shitting off during or before windows boot. Wanted to ask before I damage it on my own lol. The new case has 3 pre-installed RGB fans. My old case had two regular.... Another issue is I have a Corsair h100i v2 and I had to remove it during the...

That was literally the tabs I just opened up. Ebay is my first go to, unless you can suggest anywhere that would make it a bit quicker/less hassle... Even if I take a little cut.

You gave me exactly what I needed to know to get started. Thanks for the help guys!

OK, so leaning more towards the scrapping the AM3. That being said, for the $300 of parts you suggested Jwpanz, do you think that's the best options for the money?

When you say system, it's a little bit vague for me. What do you think I could still salvage? Isn't there a motherboard upgrade that would still benefit from that processor?
