Thanks. When I read your comment, I see that I have not read carefully enough.

I have got a deal for a Ryzen 5 5600, and I want to swap my 2600 on my Asrock ab350m pro4 MB. However, I cannot find any info on how should I do the BIOS upgrade. My current version is 5.10 and from what I see before I upgrade to 7.40 I need to install the 7.00 bridge BIOS. And there is my...

You can try with programmer if we are 100% sure the card is just bricked. I am sorry if I misled you but manufacturers used to offer this as a service as I said but it is not tied to warranty and you could try asking them if they could do it. By "I think even with warranty this would cost like...

His question is rather: Can I expect almost the same performance in games with this video card buying the cheapest option (margins of 5/10 % at most)? I have already told him there would be some difference on games such as Valorant but in games such as Cyberpunk, Hogwarts Legacy the difference...

Seen this problem before and it was a bricked r9 290x. To be honest I wouldn't try doing anything for now but RMA it as other people suggested. It could be just a bios problem and the manufacturing service could program it with a new one and the problem could be fixed. I think even with warranty...

Recently a friend started to look for new PC parts. In his case new means some second hand good component but this is irrelevant. His old PC has an old 2nd gen XEON, 24GB of RAM and 1050 Ti. For his new build he got a 2070 super, 16GB of RAM and Asus TUF X470 Plus Gaming. He uses his PC...

Does the card have second bios? Has your friend flashed incorrectly a new bios? Did you try forcing PCI-e Gen 3 and check if it runs?

Try putting the card in a different PCI-e slot. Try using different 8 pin cable/change the cable header. But from what it sounds it could be something that have happened while pulling the cable when cleaning and the 2 suggestions above would be useless. Maybe damaged 8-pin connector on the GPU...

Well it is kinda not wonder, it is my game drive. I play a lot of games and one of them requires additional content of around 200gb which was an archive. The drive currently has 600-700gb on it(or something like that) The only thing that I do not like is the wear level count that has changed...

Time will tell. As I said I got it replaced by a 2022-07 made in china drive, which is new. All past were made in Korea (second was 11.2021 or something like that). So far after 1.2TB written, 60 power-on hours the only SMART value that has changed is the Wear Leveling count to 99. So I think...

Well some update here, not like it needs. I got my drive replaced (again), changed the port of the ssd, changed the data cable, have switched my PSU to Corsair rm850x, have checked all electrical socket and the fuse for the room , and got some kind of electric shock, surge protections (I am not...

Some updates on my side: I bought the Corsair RM850x and today I changed the bequiet with it. I have sent back the SSD to the store which has send it to a service somewhere abroad. No info on that probably would take the full 2 weeks to "investigate" and give info on the problem. Hope this...

I find it strange that I have another old PC that is used for at least 5-6 hours a day has an old Seagate and Toshiba HDD and both are like on 0/10% health for 5-6 years have so many bad sectors and still I have no problem with them. Of course I went on and bought the rm850x and have sent the...

This was the full scan not SMART test. The short smart test is returning no errors while the extended smart stops after finding a bad sector.

I ran the full scan. After the scan the number here "Problems occurred between the communication of the disk and the host 30814 times " has not changed, only the amount of the bad sectors has increased from 7 to 9. My course of action will probably be to return the SSD again to the vendor and...
