    Question BIOS Update causes system to no longer post with XMP enabled.

    After doing some testing I've figured out with a manually set voltage of 1.350V (the setting used by the XMP profile) and a manual overclock of 3200MHz the system will POST fine and take the overclock. But if I try to step the system up to 3600MHz it stops POSTing. I tried each stick...

    Question Brand new PC Crashing Randomly

    Hey all, I built a brand new PC about a month ago and it has honestly been hell. My Ryzen 7 3800X arrived missing a pin, and my ML240L arrived damaged. I also had to deal with problems relating to random shutdowns, but after taking out cable extensions this seemed to clear up the problem...

    [SOLVED] Need More Molex Power Connectors (Fan & Temperature Display)

    I am so glad you asked me to check again, I have honestly no clue how but somehow I missed the peripheral cable with two molex plugs on it. Thank you very much for the help, and the splitter is something I will definitely keep a link to stored away for another time.

However the pins marked TPB and such are still a mystery, as I don't see them labelled on the linked website...

    CD Drive Issues

    Hello, around a year ago I was running a game from a CD, and after I ejected it and placed it in again (it wasn't reading properly, the CD was a bit dirty) my computer now no longer reads CD's with any accuracy. Some times it will work, sometimes it wont. The other day when I installed my new...
