OK. I ended up sending the Bad stick back to Gkskill and they sent me a replacement. It was fairly quick and easy. That solved my issue. I now have 4 sticks in the board. All 8GB 3200 and no issues. You likely have an issue with your MoBo on that slot if you've moved the RAM sticks around and...

Hi, I also have ROG Strix MoBos. Both X470F and B550F I also have GSkill Ram but mine is F4-3200C for the system in question. I ran the latest version of Memtest against both sticks of RAM for at least 12 hours and they came back clean with no errors at all. I am experiencing nearly the same...

Found a few concerns on the Media Dashboard for anyone with these and interested. 1). There were considerable potentially conductive solder flux residue paths where the flux from soldering had not been cleaned. This could potentially cause shorts. 2). There are two, 50v 10uF capacitors on the...

Follow up: I ended up trying a new ROG Strix MoBo in this system and it STILL misbehaved. AFAIK the only thing I didn't test was the cpu and I don't see how it could be anything else at this point. I ordered another Ryzen cpu and I'm sending the questionable one back to AMD since it's still...

A PC that freezes can be very annoying. There are so many possible causes it is often difficult to isolate. Here are a few of my suggestions that might help. RAM Download Memtest, create a bootable USB stick and boot the computer into a Memtest full RAM test and let it run overnight. That...

Really? I would be very interested on your explanation of how you came to that conclusion. Might really help me going forward. (this may turn into a plea for help after all :) I would have thought it just the opposite...highly likely. You do see the Audio jacks? So it tapped directly into the...

Not really asking for assistance here. Did it come across as a plea for help? Sry. Unintentional. Just a "heads up" for others. People buy these things and may have similar issues and never think about it. Then again, I may be the only sucker who ever bought one. The information is AS-IS...

Not too long ago I had a computer failure and it never occurred to me until today that it's possible it may have been my cheap Chines Media Dashboard that caused the MoBo failure. (I have no evidence yet, just speculating) Long story short, I had a nice system with a Ryzen 7 processor and ROG...

Hello, Yesterday I received a brand new B550F Motherboard from Amazon. After getting everything all connected I could not get any video. I tried a different video card, different video cable but still no post, no video and solid white Q-Led I had just about given up when I read a suggestion...

The GPU requires PCIe 3.0 Support. Your motherboard does not provide that.

My first thought is the Graphics card. I guess you'll know tomorrow. Make sure the fan is not blocked in any way or that the fan is intermittent. Do you have cats?

Not to ask the obvious but....... What are the CPU temperatures during game play? The faulted executable is DDV.exe DDV.EXE - Dangerous %PROFILE%\DDV.EXE https://greatis.com/appdata/d/_/_profile__ddv.exe.htm

I like to take my computers outside every few months and use compressed air to blow them out. Sometimes dust can build up and cause heat retention in places you wouldn't suspect. Remember that there are more chips on the MoBo than just the CPU. Pretty much all of them are subject to problems...

Thank you for that. I would take a WAG that ASUS is no worse than the rest of them. MoBo warranty is probably a sham. They probably never have any intention of ensuring that your issue is resolved. A virtual PR stunt. I would wager that I will get the same board back, untouched, but claimed to...

K You learn something new every day. Thanks
