    Question Ram upgrade caused onboard and pcie sound to not work

    I found a site listing that as a potential fix. This didn't work. I ended up upgrading to windows 11 as a hail-mary, and it worked. I'm not sure what to say about this but I'm glad it's fixed.

    Question Ram upgrade caused onboard and pcie sound to not work

    I have the most current bios. I updated it with no fix. In addition, I have no audio working through my USB sound card either. This is bizzare.

    Question Ram upgrade caused onboard and pcie sound to not work

    UPDATE: I ended up just upgrading to Windows 11, as I was out of other options. I didn't want to format unless it was necessary. The upgrade fixed all my issues. What a strange situation. I upgraded to a cheap set of 2x16gb ram modules from my 2x8gb. When I got into windows, I noticed I have no...

    Question Internet won't work when connected to router, only on modem (Rogers XB7)

    I use an Asus RT 5300 router. Recently I upgraded to the Rogers infrastructure, and received a new XB7 modem. The tech told me BRIDGE MODE doesn't work well on these modems, so I left it for the time being. This is why I am connected the following way: My modem is connected to an Asus RT 5300...

    Question Connecting PWM fan to DC fan connector

    Thanks. I'm currently daisy chained to the pump fan header because i read it has higher amps output, but couldn't verify that info. It seems to be working fine. I had the temp sensor set to core temp. I'll have to see which sensor is for the motherboard.

    Question Connecting PWM fan to DC fan connector

    Hello, i just bought 3 phanteks t30. I plan to run them in the 3k rpm mode, at a 0.36A input current. Two intake, one exhaust. Besides the cpu fan, my MSI z490m MAG has a pump fan (pwm) and 3x sys fan (dc) fan headers. I want to know the best way to connect the 3 fans. The sysfan dc headers...

    Discussion Gigabyte voided warranty on a fake claim of "water damage"

    I put my Gigabyte z390m gaming in for a warranty repair after having issues. It's a long trip to California, which is my first lesson on not buying Gigabyte. I swapped the cpu cooler, and once I hit the windows boot screen the computer crashed and wouldn't post anymore. They send me pictures...

    Question After adding m.2 and swapping cooler - froze at windows now it wont post

    I dont think so. I did have to screw around with it a bit to get it in the right position, which i thought would be worse than it was. When I took it off I had a small amount smudged down the side. I'm kind of stumped. I brought it to the local place called ibreakufix. It has good reviews and...

    Question After adding m.2 and swapping cooler - froze at windows now it wont post

    Do you think installing a cooler could do that even though the cpu was left in place? I'm currently tearing it down piece by piece trying power cycling. I'm pretty much down to the cooler and cpu at this point. I will try removing it. intel 9600k 1080 founders edition ddr4 3200 flarex ram 850w...

    I have a pc that I installed an m.2 drive to and swapped to a bigger cpu cooler. I booted to the windows loading screen, it froze once and now it won't post at all. My system turns on, quickly turns off and on one second later, then it tuns off and on 10 seconds later again and stays on. Is...

    [SOLVED] Attempt at cloning drive gone wrong

    Yes. I can put the drive back into the laptop and everything boots fine. It's just that cloning to the SSD from the HDD using Minitool Partition Wizard doesn't allow me to boot it. Blue screen shows up. I've cloned 2 different drives this way so I'm stumped so far. I will probably just do a...

    [SOLVED] Attempt at cloning drive gone wrong

    I have tried to clone my dad's laptop hdd to an ssd. When I installed on my computer it treated it as the main drive and booted it up and populated it with a bunch of weird data. It's only 250gb but has 1tb partitions on it and boot repair reads 2 Windows 10 on it. Cloning it using easeus...
