I am using version 4002 for my BIOS. The RAM is in the second and fourth slot cause that's the slots the diagram in manual showed for dual channel. I connected the displayport cable to the port on the monitor I was using before and got the same issue again. I am sure it's a bad port on my...

I didn't know know if I should put this in displays, GPU's or motherboard. Since what I did seem to fix the issue I decided to go with displays. So I was dusting my PC desk and I saw some dust on my monitor cable so I took a swiffer sweeper and cleaned the dust off of it. I didn't unplug it and...

I just did that and it didn't solve the issue. All 4 cores and 8 threads are working though. Of course the memory is in single channel. Nothing else I can do. If he decides to get a new CPU and motherboard I will install it for him.

Again it's an intel CPU so it has no pins to bend. The CPU is seated correctly. The CPU is recognized by the motherboard in the BIOS. I imagine if there was an issue with the CPU it wouldn't work at all. My nephew said he wants to get a new CPU and motherboard anyway.

I live in the US. I actually got the the SSD for my nephew cheaper than the one you listed. A WD Blue for $40 from Newegg. The case I bought was a Fractal Meshify C for $80, just $20 more than the case you listed. The PSU I bought was an EVGA 80 plus gold 750 watt for $140. I don't buy anything...

Are you joking or something? Have you seen the prices on Newegg? I wanted him to have a good PSU, a decent case and SSD for a boot drive. So when he decides to upgrade to better CPU with a newer motherboard he wouldn't have tp spend as much. It was actually $285. The most expensive part was the...

So last year I upgraded to a Ryzen CPU and motherboard. I decided I would use my old hardware to build a PC for my nephew. Basically a: ASUS H170 Pro Gaming Intel i7 6700 GTX 1070 Ti 16GB of LPX Vengeance DDR4 I bought a case, PSU and SSD for the build. So I put the RAM in slot A2 and B2...

After digging around online I found an answer. It seems like plugging joysticks and controllers into one of the US slots will keep the monitor from shutting down...

I usually set my monitor to shut off or sleep after 20 minutes in the windows power management settings. The one where you can choose when to put your computer in sleep mode and when the display shuts off. It worked fine just a day or so ago. It won't shut off anymore. I have tried putting...

I talked to some people on another forum and they said that the memory controllers on AMD boards are picky. That this Corsair RAM is more aimed at intel and it doesn't overclock well on AMD motherboard. So I just picked up a 16GB set of RAM on Newegg for $93. It's a G.Skill Trident with the...

So I just updated the BIOS in my new build. I have 32GB of memory installed dual channel. This is my memory here. I tried to enable DOCP but my PC clicked on and off a few times and then a screen came up saying it was in safe mode and there was some instability. So I pressed F1 to go back into...

Thanks.

So the standard SATA AHCI controller is ok then? Cause that's what I have.

I think I installed the AMD chipset driver earlier so I could get the Ryzen balanced power plan. I didn't even bother to install the chipset driver from the ASUS driver list.

So just keep using the standard SATA AHCI Controller then?
