Bottom right standoff was bad, I removed the screw and it posted/booted just fine. Ended up swapping that standoff for another one, had no problem booting again. Problem solved, thanks everyone.

I moved all the standoffs around so there is one for every mounting spot. It does seem like it's touching, I'll have to check with a mirror and flashlight to see

Update: I decided to go ahead and do another complete rebuild outside the case. I was able to get it to post no problem. Took it back apart, put it back in the case, and put it back together; once again no post.

Assuming you are only using those two devices and no M.2 drive, just use SATA3_A1 and SATA3_A2. Neither look like they interfere with anything else. I did a quick read of your mobo's manual; while it does suggest using SATA3_0 for the boot drive, it doesn't explain why. From what I could read it...

Updated! CPU LED is on

I'm trying to build a budget pc for my father while I am visiting. I have plenty of experience building PCs but not with AMD MB: MSI A320M GAMING PRO CPU: Ryzen 3 1200 RAM: Patriot Viper 4GB DDR4 2400 x2 GPU: XFX Radeon RX 560 PSU: EVGA 500W MB didn't come with a speaker, will pick one up...

Any on-board gpu you can plug into?

Do the dots keep spinning, or do they freeze?

Whilst normally I hate updating drivers needlessly, and using beta drivers, I discovered AMD did have a beta driver "optimized" for GTA 5. Installed it and the lag/stuttering seems to have disappeared on low setting. Will try high settings later.

Did not work. Still the same performance issues. Also I have just noticed that after installing a second graphics card, the game is using 2x the amount of VRAM it was using before with the same settings.

I have it saved to my HDD right now, but I could transfer it onto my SSD, although I would prefer to avoid that if possible. I use the SSD for my operating system and a few programs only, since it is only a 240GB

System Specs: CPU: Intel i7-3820 3.6 GHz Memory: 16 GB Mushkin Redline 1866 Video: 2x Gigabyte Radeon R9 280X I have all setting set to the lowest possible, yet cannot drive around without my frame rate dropping to 5-15 FPS Any help?

Good call on the heat. After readjusting my fan cases so that the airflow was brought from forward to back, rather than side to side, my PC has yet to crash. I ran a 5+ hr stress test with my GPU running at 99% capacity with no crash, and another for 12+ hrs also with no crash. My desktop is now...

So far as of late, my PC has not had a BSOD, but instead just crashes as it does in the second picture, which doesn't create a minidump file. I do not use the stock CPU cooler, I have an EverCool Buffalo CPU Fan installed, and it is always spinning. For the sensors, what info do you need, or...
