    [SOLVED] Upgrade faulty or old GPU dying?

    Question Decent B450M mobo for R5 3600, 5600X later

And I'm leaning towards the B550 A-Pro so blindly mainly because all the rambling about how good it is for the price in terms of features...

    Question Decent B450M mobo for R5 3600, 5600X later

    I'm currently using a FX-8350 and got a last minute good deal for the R5 3600 but I don't have an AM4 board. After a lightning killed my GPU I don't have any savings left so was planning on going for the cheapest and upgrade later to the MSI B550 A-Pro.

    "The operation you selected will convert the selected basic disk(s) to dynamic disk(s)" on SDD

    Hello! Welp, I have this 250GB SDD where Win10 is installed. I used to have Ubuntu in DualBoot so I made a 60GB partition, leaving 170GB for Windows and programs. After a cleanse, I only installed Win10 leaving an unassigned 60 gb partition. I think the problem is that Windows has created a 3...
