I appreciate the quick response. I decided to try reseating the CPU, just to see if that had any impact, and now it works perfectly. Must have improperly installed it. Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the clarification. I’ve tried each RAM module individually and in single channel combinations, and I tried using RAM rated at 2133mhz from another board, but I can’t get it to post. It’s a brand new board, and I haven’t been able to get into the BIOS yet to make any adjustments to...

I’ve tried installing two sticks I’m using RAM from another board with a DOCP profile to bring them to their rated speed. That shouldn’t have any impact on how it operates on another board, right?

I’m upgrading to a Ryzen 9 3900x with an ASUS ROG STRIX x570-E Gaming motherboard. When powering on for the first time, the fans are running at max speeds, and I receive a Q code 3E from the board, which according to the manual, it indicates Post PCH Memory Initialization is starting, but it...

It really depends on what kind of setup you're looking use it with. Example, I'm using an RTX 2080 with an Intel Core i5-6600 (non-K), and it's able to maintain high fps (60fps or greater) in 1440p on Final Fantasy XV, a graphically intensive game, albeit with some stuttering, but I think it's...

I know this sounds silly, but is it possible you're running off of integrated graphics? That seems to be the reason why all graphical settings default to minimum. Check your inputs in the back of the PC and make sure you're plugged in to the graphics card. Also check Display Settings and make...

Update 5/12/17: It's been a while since I posted about this problem, but I wanted to provide an update. I spoke with ASUS customer service twice regarding the motherboard. They were convinced my problem wasn't a bad motherboard but a faulty GPU, and wouldn't test it unless I tried the GPU in...

While the lack of a Virtual Console at launch is disappointing to me and many Nintendo fans, I'm more concerned about whether or not I will need to repurchase the Virtual Console titles I already have on my Wii U. I wasn't too thrilled to find out I had to repurchase them when I upgraded from...
