UPDATE: I'm really dumb. It was outputting to my second monitor which I had powered off. Thanks anyways

I waited a few minutes then put the battery back in. The top side of the battery shows the labeling and has a plus sign on it (I don't know if that means that side is positive). The bottom side has no writing and is textured. After receiving the 02 error a few times I pulled the battery out and...

After resetting my bios by removing my CMOS battery, my PC won't boot past a black screen. My MB is displaying the code 02 and the Q-LED light is solid green. I flashed my BIOS with the latest update but the issue is still occurring. I tried unseating and reseating my memory and ensuring each...

I ended up getting a barely used x570-E from my friend for $150, so I'm going with the 3900x. Thanks to everyone for their help

I wont be using this CPU for gaming; I don't really play games anymore

Ah yeah sorry, I mean the i9-7940x

Try making sure that your drivers are updated. Good chance that will fix the problem

I build my PC for gaming about 5 years ago. I no longer use my PC for gaming and instead use it for software development and virtualization. That said I've been finding my 4 core 6600K very lacking. However I'm starting college in the fall so my finances are pretty limited. I'd like to spend...

If it meant 16 bit processes, then it could be because you switched from a 32-bit OS to a 64-bit OS (64-bit OS can't run 16-bit programs) and copied old programs over. However, it sounds like this could be a memory issue. If you can get the computer up again, I would run windows memory...

First step, make sure all your cables are plugged in and tightly secured. Check everything. I highly doubt that you would have damaged anything, but if you did, check your beep codes and post card if you have one (reference your mobo manual for what the codes mean). Honestly, if you unplug a...

I don't want to hijack this thread and turn it into a ray tracing debate, but I would go for the NVIDIA cards because of ray tracing. It might not be main stream yet, but after seeing what games like Battlefield were able to do with ray tracing, it will only be a few years before every single...

I have decided to switch from a monthly VPS to my own server. I don't need to switch right away, so I decided to build one since I have a good bit of experience building PCs. What I am wondering about is what type of processor/board combo I should use. The server won't be used for anything...

You are probably right, I just assumed he was using a card that he didn't list

Also, if you don't mind a watermark on your screen, you could save a hundred bucks on your OS. Just sayin
