I tried this, and got this, so i'll see if it improves now. I suspect the issue might well be RAM related though. I just put the system into sleep mode, and then tried to wake it - it wouldn't, I pressed the power button and it whirred up, but no display - checked the LED debug light and the...

Hi, I am fully aware of dual channel, single channel and even quad channel. Usually, on most boards, in my experience, you use slots 1 and 3. On mine it's 2 and 4 which I thought a bit strange, but that's how it is. I am aware that no OC is required - but ordinarily you buy a K version CPU to...

So about a month or 6 weeks ago, I replaced my Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200MHZ (32 gb - 4 x 8 gb sticks) with CORSAIR RGB SL PRO 32GB, in the form of 2 x 16GB sticks, I noticed the system initially wouldn't boot, but it produced a screen which told me I needed to use slots 2 and 4 for optimal...

Nice build. I don't like the source of the GPU however. If you look at the listing, and then click to the seller, you'll see he's got many different graphics cards all for sale, he's only got 5 positive feedback and has only been registered since October last year, the graphics cards are all...

My PC also does something similar, but it doesn't produce the same sound, it's the moment I load up a demanding game, like perhaps MSFS2020, even at the splash screen where it's loading, I get a high pitched sort of buzzing or whistling sound, it's not coil whine from the PSU, because whenever...

Yes, those two components should work fine. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZVdFDc

Lots, I'm from the UK too. PCspecialist (Custom built I bought in 2017) Cyberpower (My current PC - bought about 3 weeks ago from them) Chillblast CreatePC Overclockers Scan.co.uk (Bought a custom built system from them in early 2016). There's literally loads out there, each has their own...

Material shortage, partial effects of COVID-19, and then topped off by greedy scalpers who buy several high end cards for perhaps £500-£700 each, keep one for themselves, and stick the rest on eBay for anywhere from £1,300 to £2,500. Silicon is in short supply at the moment. I'm waiting on an...

I assume your internet connection is decent enough? Streaming uses a lot of bandwidth. What's your budget? I'd personally recommend one of the newer gen intel 10th/11th gen CPU's or an AMD Ryzen Series chip, but depends on how much you are looking to spend. You might struggle to get a GPU at...

I see. In that case, it depends on what you are after. A 3080 will be perfectly good enough for pretty much any game these days, a 3090 is overkill really and also very expensive given current scalpmarket prices. Ideally you want one of the newer gen CPU's, say 10th or 11th gen intel or AMD...

Definitely on the latest BIOS version? Does your motherboard have Q flash? Should be a small button on the back of it that allows you to flash it via a USB without a CPU installed.

Ok... so this is a new or used PC that you have just started using, and it‘s not worked properly from the outset? Personally, I would try to restore the bios defaults, I can‘t see this making any difference in this case, but it may do, a setting may have been altered that shouldn’t have been...

Urgh. Think I need to go to the opticians.... in my defence... it is nearly 1AM and i'm tired! :ROFLMAO:

That would indicate that the missing drivers are what is causing the issue. It may be worth trying a few things first... Go into device manager, and expand all of the options... so expand "Storage adapters, display drivers, etc" and print screen it and post an image of it here. It seems odd...

Worst thing that will happen if power delivery is not sufficient, is it just won't power up, or you'll have an unstable system. But you aren't going to break anything, PSU's have numerous protection methods in place, breaking things is more about too much voltage rather than not enough power...
