This is kind of a two-part thing. Had a friend message me asking if Windows 11 was worth upgrading to, said I enjoy it and recommended it. Woke up the next morning to a message saying he had been stuck on an "Undoing changes made to your computer" screen for hours now. Every time he boots up...

Took my PC to a repair shop about a weeeekk aagooooooo. (sorry) Boot drive seems to have failed, which is why it was bringing me to BIOS. This should be solved now, maybe a mod to lock the forum but keep it up? In a nutshell: if you’re in a bios boot-cycle (continuously booting to bios); it’s...

Did this today, I still boot to bios. It asks me if I want to run setup or load default values. I tried setup, and am back into the bios loop. Can’t recall if I’ve tried F2 but I imagine it would be the same.

Awesome thank you. I’ll definitely try this when I get a chance. Also, I wanted to get reassurance about my CPU, when I was trying to fix it myself, I was in a bit of a rush since I had to drive an hour to Microcenter to get some thermal paste. When screwing the AIO down onto the CPU, I didn’t...

I’ll definitely try this, just a few questions. From Left to right, slots a2-b2 would be the 2nd and 4th slot I assume? Also, how do you connect only the drive with windows? Not sure what that means. Thank you.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I HAVE POSTED IN THE WRONG TOPIC, I THINK IM IN THE RIGHT SPOT TL;DR: Came back to PC stuck on BIOS, tried reseating nearly every potential component that could be the issue to no avail, now PC won't make it past a CMOS prompt [I think its a CMOS PROMPT at least, its...

Alright, so I have an abundance of issues I just recently started noticing. I'm trying to fix it at 3:00 AM but probably not the best idea. I'll just jot some issues and see if I can provide further detail tomorrow: Earlier today, my computer had unreasonably slow boot up and shut down times...

SOLVED! Just had to reseat the first ram stick, noticed it was actually never detected in the slot, so just reseated it and now its there. So glad I dont have to reseat the CPU. Thanks for the input!

Funnily enough talking about the bios you just reminded me that, as aforementioned, each XMP profile is seperate per stick of ram, but the CPU section to the left of the XMP profile sections, if I clicked on that, it would also jnclude a XMP profile, but would only let me choose only one of the...

I will definitely check the bios. Can I update bios versions through the MSI website? The ram is populating the 2nd and 4th slot which was marked for dual channeling. I have two different answers for source of OS, since I’m not sure exactly what it means, but I bought a cheap key through a...

Hey guys, finished my pc build yesterday. Noticed that my system only recognized 16 gigabytes of ram. I saw that I had 18gb of virtual memory and around 16gigabytes of physical memory in the system info, but task manager only shows 16gigs in the performance tab. Something that is confusing me...

Turns out I had it backwards and upside down (the mounting bracket) Built my pc and desk last night so didnt have time to update. Thanks for your help!

While I’m at work, to other people viewing, any other inputs would be greatly appreciated. I’m bound to run into more problems. Another question I have is that since I didn’t unscrew the fans from the front, do you think that another issue related to clearance couldve been that I used 6x32x5mm...

Ahh ok! Sorry I thought you were saying that each time you saw AIOs installed like that, that those were the wrong way to do it. I’ll try it that way tomorrow! Thank you so much man! I’ll update this thread tomorrow if I stumble into any problems.

I believe I left the fans on the front and tried attaching the bracket straight on the back of the radiator, meaning the fans and radiator would be poking through the top on the inside of the case. Is there a way to do it that I’m missing? I never unscrewed the fans that were already on the...
