Motherboard has an EZ Debug with four LEDs that light up for certain components. That's how I discovered it would stop booting after RAM.

Here is what I did! I cleared the CMOS and unplugged RAM, then booted with it and it went! Working like brand new. So there must have been an error code on the CMOS or RAM preventing me from booting. Thank you guys for the help!

I just updated my post with parts list, sorry. Right now I am taking out RAM and trying to boot with one stick and only the basics. I left it overnight to cool off but it still does not boot which is what really worries me.

Hello everyone. Bad news. I recently installed a new M.2 drive which meant I had to rearrange my other drives, and my SATA power plugs. I must have accidentally left my CPU cooler unplugged. My PC idled for 4 hours before I came home and noticed the fans were not on, so I shut it down...

This is still a persistent issue. I have set the DHCP to any other thing, and it sets back to "Other". This issue persists and I cannot figure it out, I am at my wits end. My ISP says they do not know what to do and I might ask for them to reset my entire network, if that will help. Can this be...

When browsing for this, I noticed the lease time was set to "Other" and there was no way to clarify. I set it to 24 hours and hopefully that will fix. I will set a static IP as well. Thank you.

This does not work, I switched all devices on Ethernet and still drop. My brother has been playing on a new Xbox One and played for four hours, didn't drop. While I dropped twice. So it is either my NIC or something with my settings on the router. How would I go about setting a static ip? I see...

What will happen is the little Ethernet connection icon in the systray will just switch to the wireless after 60 seconds, then eventually switch back. Next time it fails I will do so. Isn't a static ip a dangerous/risky thing to do if my ip is found?

I do share the house network, but I use the most of it. Downstairs uses laptops and such, but they have no issues.

Hello everyone. I am experiencing an odd issue. My ethernet connection will drop for a few minutes at a time. I have tried three different cords and yet it still drops occasionally, about twice a day. I cannot find ANY pattern in when or why it drops. When it goes out, it takes about 60...

Hey everyone. I am building a PC for my brother who is going off to college, he will have a laptop for classes and such but I want him to have a desktop if need be. I am using a large amount of old parts from my past, however for the main stuff I want to get new Mobo and CPU (maybe ebay the...

Hey everyone. My gaming PC build has a lot of personality and every part has history to it. But my GPU's story tops it all. I have a GTX 970 4GB, bought when it was the newest thing on the market. My friend bought it with is i5-4460 build, and used it often throughout high school with us, while...

So I took the RAM out to inspect it, put it back in the same spot, and now the PC is acting like there is no RAM there at all, meaning it will not boot, fans spool up then stop, etc. It is Ballistix Crucial Sport 1x8GB DDR3, 1600 speed. Yes I know it is old as dirt but if it ain't broke...(but...
