My AMD system only seemed to have issues occasionally trying to open Samsung Magician from the System Tray. It would crash occasionally, but I could restart it from my Start Menu without issue so I've had no real reason to uninstall the update. Now my son's Intel system had issues requiring...

You want to stop scalpers? Don't buy from listings on eBay, or from any reseller. These resellers can't buy all the stock and when they've no more money to invest in cards that aren't selling, stock at e-tailers and retailers will be available. Then the scalpers get stuck with a bunch of...

Not sure, but there were still quite a few ATMs running Windows XP not too long ago.

I'd like to update this original post. I was able to find a workaround by using Ryzen Master to set the Memory Clock and Fabric clock to 1600 while setting XMP in the BIOS but lowering my DRAM Speed to 2933. This got my RAM working at 3200. As time progressed ASUS released a series of BIOS...

This is right out of the Release Notes: At least one unformatted, uninitialized, unallocated SATA or NVMe SSD for storage acceleration. So it doesn't require the SSD to be NVME, though in my case that is what I'm using.

Actually I've used it and it works quite well. I already had a 500GB nvme main boot SSD (Samsung 970 EVO Plus), and a 4TB drive to keep all my data and games on. I added a 1TB WD Black nvme SSD and used it as a caching drive with StormMi. It took awhile to cache and thus far it's only used...

I love AMD, and these processors (especially the 3300X) look awesome. On the CPU front they have definitely been executing, and I'd say the same for the GPU front if it weren't for their drivers because the 5700XT is a great performer and value. However AMD has really missed the larger picture...

I would like to see Tom's benchmark this along with others, I'll reserve my opinion for now. Also someone else mentioned the ASUS Prime X570 Pro, would like to know for sure if its compatible.

I copied and pasted this form this Link On a working PC, go to the Microsoft software download website. Download the Windows 10 media creation tool and then run it. Select Create installation media for another PC. Choose a language, edition, and architecture (64-bit or 32-bit). Follow the...

Well there hasn't been an update since late November, so they haven't been actively updating it. That said expanding memory compatibility probably isn't a huge priority, so unless there is something that has to be fixed, I don't see this issue being fixed or any feature adds. Other than this...

Do you know what version of Windows you are running 1909?

Do you have access to another working computer? Or better yet, do you have access to your install media (USB presumably)? If you have or can make one, you can boot from it.

First make sure the drive you are working on is the actual new drive, you don't want to mess up a drive with data on it. If the drive has a partition (usually gets one if it has a drive letter), you could just try and format it. That can be done by right clicking on the drive in Disk...

Have you tried using DDU or the Clean Install built into the new Radeon Driver? DDU is the tried and true method for removing all traces of your old driver. Radeon ReLive drivers has added the Clean Install option under Custom Install which should fully remove the old driver (and all it's...

Being that this is supported in DX12, one would assume this could be done on nVidia hardware. I wonder if they'll try to benchmark this on nVidia hardware. nVidia still technically "supports" SLI, but not many games support it, especially new titles. I just wonder how the scaling compares...
