Just to add, because I forgot to, microcenter did not offer a free flash on the new generation. Tech manager dude said that's not something they were ever told to offer. It was 29.99 +tax. The neighborhood shop charged 45. When I looked up the loaner chips, the top result refers to an APU...

I finally made it back into microcenter. They flashed the bios with two hours left until the store closed. Video card is a ok! I picked up a western digital m.2 black 2210 500g for $70 us with protection while I waited. When I read the specs on the read/write transfer, while holding the box, my...

Oh! I looked up info on the AMD loaner chips. That's really awesome that they will help out like that. Kind of a rough patch but hey it'll do it huh?

I called a local shop and got an answer today. They're open kind late so I should be able to get there before they close. They'll test my video card for free and do the bios flash for 40 dollars. I'm hoping that's all it is. Browsing ebay and looking at video cards I feel like I'm in Fallout...

Thank you, very much. I'm quite confused these days lol! I always feel like a noob when it comes to parts and what's what.

I had been looking for one. There's one sticker on the board and it's on the larger power connector brick, seated behind the optical drives.

Well, that would be a mess. It's an ASUS board.

Hey, I just came back to this. I'm going to take it to, somewhere. Maybe a local shop. Lots of them have been keeping strange hours and I'm pretty much stuck at home most business hours. But, I had a question about your comment. Does asrock specifically offer loaner chips? AMD will as well? I...

Well, regardless, I get no video so I can't tell what bios revision is on the board and the world seems to be screwed over by scalpers, miners and supply. Expensive paper weight.

The manual says it's generation 3 ready. 5600x is gen 3, right? I'm really out of touch with tech right now. Ok, I guess it's the 5th generation as noted by the dang 5. I'll take it back to microcenter and have it flashed. Thank you for the answer.

Generally relying on DVI cables. Tried switching the cable with no difference.

As it sits right now: Ryzen 5 5600x Asus Prime B550-A motherboard G Skill DDR4 3200 Ripjaws 2x16 Powerspec 650w 80+ Bronze Semi Modular XFX RX 480 8gb RS (I think, it's the best buy model) The old system where the problem started: FX 8320 Gigabyte 990fxa-ud3 G Skill ram EVGA 550 Bronze 80+...

Hey all! I just had an issue with my pc to where it was randomly shutting down. Nothing but the northridge heatsinks on my mobo served to be heating up and the parts are old. FX 8320 old. So, upgrade to Ryzen 5600x happens and I install my RX 480 8gb card. There's absolutely no signal now. No...

I would've grabbed the 3600 because all the 3300x are sold out. If I buy another PSU,gpu and a case I've got my current rig I can actually put to use as a workstation. I could do that cheaply without worrying about performance on the GPU. I've got spare peripherals and I'm sure the FX chip will...

Hey, thanks! Honestly, I probably would tab out ofa game while paused or facing a corner in a safe place and get a new print sliced or rendered. I would definitely do it once to stress test at least. I took advantage of the low ram prices right now and ordered 32gb (2x16)@ $112 USD. Gskill, but...
