Well just to close this thread up, I just restarted the PC and it worked fine, which seems weird to me but oh well. Not messing with that again!

It has a Flash BIOS button, would it be possible to update BIOS via that if it appears to be broken upon restart?

Hey all, I just got a 3700X and assorted components to go with it to upgrade my PC. The motherboard I went with is the MSI x570 Gaming Plus. After a ton of hassle, I got the thing running, but its idles at very high temps (50-60C) and I've heard that the early BIOS versions for Ryzen 3000 are...

This is a picture of the instructions. I don't quite understand what to do once the copying/cloning is done because the second step seems to contradict the last *. So basically my question is, what are the steps I should take once the process is complete in order to make my new drive bootable in...

Hello all, just built a new computer with the intention of using an external cd/dvd drive to install windows 7 but just as I get to the initial windows 7 install screen it says that I have an error with some driver not being installed, I assume its the cd/dvd drive driver. I put in the driver...

I have a slightly old but still perfectly good hard drive from an old computer that I want to install in my newer one. I'm not exactly sure how to do this. Can I just plug it in, assuming I still boot in through my primary hard drive, and then access it somewhere to do a fresh partition and...

I'd go for the 780 Ti out of these two choices. The 290X is a good card, but they run very hot. I would recommend a 970 instead of the 780 Ti. They are about the same price and you get less power consumption, less heat and an extra GB or VRAM. It's a good card. The 390X will probably be...

I'm currently wondering if its the right time to upgrade my gpu. I have the 7970ghz edition and I thought I would wait for 390x to come out but with these prices, its hard to pass up. I could get a 290x with alien isolation and star citizen for 300 on amazon right now or a gtx 780ti for 370 on...

Since about a week or two ago, my bf3 hasnt been running right. First it would't even connect to the servers, it would just load a white or black screen and then go unresponding. Now i can sometimes get into the game, but it runs at about 4 fps on whichever settings i set them to. I've tried...

Im having the same issue, sometimes it wont even load the map, other times it gets in and runs at about 4fps. I've tried reinstalling, repairing via origin, defragging my HDD, wiping and reinstalling graphics drivers. Nothing works. I had 850 watt psu with i5 3570k and 7970 ghz edition that...

So i recently acquired a set of turtle beach xp400s and i wanted to use them on my pc, turns out you can't use the built in optical out that my mobo has for these headphones and you need something called dolby digital live which you can only get on a standalone sound card. Does this all sound...
