well thats not what i was hoping to hear but i guess it is what it is. thanks though

Im totally fine with a fresh install of windows, my system theoretically could get onto 11 with the new board, im just worried that since all my program files have in some way or form have a document or 10 on the c drive that if i have to reinstall it none of my programs will be accessible and...

https://www.newegg.com/asrock-b550m-pg-riptide/p/N82E16813162065 This is the board im looking to upgrade to as i dont need to upgrade my entire system quite yet, would this one allow for both m.2 slots to function as m.2 drives? I was completely unaware that the 2nd drive slot on my current...

well windows 10 thats why its posted in this page, asrock ab350m pro 4 mb but going to upgrade to a b550 chipset soon, Im not able to grab a screen shot of it right now as im not at the pc but ive got 3 drives on the system, c is a 120gb pny ssd, ive got 1 wd blue 1tb hdd and 1 1tb wd sn770 ssd...

So i need to upgrade my windows boot device because it has run out of space (120gb ssd moving to 2 tb m.2) Im wondering if its possible to just backup the c drive to a different external drive, change the 120gb ssd out with the m.2, get into the windows install media, and restore the backup of...

yep i did it in an x pattern starting top left going to bottom right then top right to bottom left till each screw was tight but not break the board tight.

Yeah, i have it tightened down to what it's supposed to be and temps are about 26 degrees on idle. I just wasn't sure with it sagging down if it would cause any problems.

Yep I’ve got it on the amd backplate, I pulled it and reinstalled it, it looks like it’s slanting downward just a bit, it’s as tight as I can go without making any more noise on the board, not sure if that’s normal?

So I just got a hyper 212 rgb on a am4 platform, my question is how far do I tighten it down? I don’t wanna break the board but it looks like it’s slagging. Theirs no instruction on how tight. The studs I’m mounting the cooler to are spinning as well.

I cant really see from the picture he sent me but it says its 290 watts max power on the sticker on the psu. Would a gt1030 be a better safer bet?

I believe it is 14 amps, i dont have the pc in front of me because its not mine, the psu should be about 3 years old, its a prebuilt with a i5 8400 in it, 12 gigs of ddr4 2133 or 2400. 1 tb toshiba hdd and a cd drive. stock intel cooler. I knew the psu was the main concern, if he had a normal...

My main reason for the 1050 ti is it doesnt need a power connector, he only has a 290 watt psu prebuild dell pc with no 6 pin power plug since its oem powersupply and motherboard. Im worried that even the 1050ti will not work because it will pull too much power and crash.

So im helping a friend get a graphics card for his prebuild pc, its a asus gtx 1050 ti that he can get for 110 after mail in rebate off newegg, i noticed that it doesnt have a return policy only replacement policy, is this that big of a deal considering as long as it works it should be fine...

windows 10 2004 and lenovo t530 webcam

So ive decided since webcams are either hard to come by or are super expensive i might as well try to put an old laptop camera to good use. The only issue is i cant get windows to see it as a device, instead it reads device descriptor reqauest failed. Ive tried wiring it all different ways using...
