Thank you for the reply, if I did go for a graphics card, what would you recommend? Doesn't need to be a gaming card, just for basic everyday PC use, maybe a little video conferencing?

Well, learn something new every day, thank you. I might just end up going for a low price graphics card instead of fully swapping the processor, do you have any recommendations for something like that?

No, didn't really think I needed one since this is meant to be an everyday computer, for schoolwork, video calling, etc

Thank you very much for the video. I pulled the board out and it appears that the stopping and starting thing has gone away. The bad news is the machine still doesn't POST. I cleared the CMOS, reconnected the power supply cables and tried every display output (VGA, DVI & HDMI) with no luck...

Ok. I've never had to try something like that before, do I leave the current processor and everything on it? Leave the fans, drives, etc connected?

Good evening. So I just finished building a new PC, just for ordinary everyday use, no gaming GPU or anything. Specs are as follows: ASRock B450M Pro4 Ryzen 5 2600 G.Skill Aegis DDR4 3200 (8GB, 2x) Deepcool Gammax 400V2 Red Corsair CX450M Fractal Design Core 1100 case 2 Case Fans (1 intake...

Thanks for all the info, and I'll probably end up going with the second list as the GPU isn't something I really need at the moment. I'm not a pro or anything at building PCs, at least regarding the best components to pick, so I appreciate the help.

Thanks for the list. As far as something like the video card goes, I should've mentioned that I won't be gaming or anything like that. Main thing this PC will be used for is schoolwork, video conferencing, etc. But you're saying this will be a better build overall? Anything in particular that...

Good afternoon all. I'm building a new PC for my family (for schoolwork, light video editing, everyday use) and just wanted to link my components list and see if anybody had any thoughts or could point out any issues. The build includes a Ryzen 3 3200G and an ASRock B450M Pro4. I was told that...

Good evening. I'm looking to add a new storage drive to my PC, an M.2 SSD preferably (mostly to transfer my games to, from my primary drive). I've just been having a bit of trouble choosing which drive to pick. My motherboard is an ASRock B450 Pro4 (not the B450M version that a lot of the other...

Bought the cooler, installed it, much cooler temps now. Appreciate the help!

Thank you for your help. I ran the test on Prime95, and ended up with a CPU temp of 95C by the end of the test. Based on what I described in my original post (my issues seating the cooler and the thermal paste smudging), what would you recommend my next step be? I still have the stock cooler...

Good evening. I recently built a new home computer with a Ryzen 3 2200g, a Wraith Max cooler, and an Asrock B450M Pro 4 motherboard. The case I used was a Thermaltake Versa H17 with 4 case fans installed (2 intake fans in the front, an exhaust fan on the top and an exhaust fan out the rear of...
