    Question Motherboard dying?

    This is a very strange, and finicky thing, I cannot make this happen, it just “happens” I know this hardware is old, but there's no money for a new one, and I'm just gonna keep kinda of a record of how things go here Right now I decided to remove the XMP, for almost 10 years my rams and cpu/nb...

    Question Motherboard dying?

    Noticed the other day a USB disconnect sound, went to check on device manager and saw "Etron USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller - 1.0 (Microsoft)" had a yellow warning. Same happened with my PCIe wifi card and COM port, tho not always, but USB is consistent in failing. I fully cleaned this PC...

    Question Asus PCIe WiFi card not detected ?

    I can check for another card, but I believe there is something in this M.2 to PCIe interface adapter that is not playing nice with my board. Just as last resort I'm gonna reflash my bios when I have the time and see if something works

    Question Asus PCIe WiFi card not detected ?

    Thank you for the reply I did all of that first, the thing is that the new card has a lot of issues getting recognized by the board. I can check that in the UEFI system browser as most of the time the slot appears empty... I tested in an even older board and a newer one, and the card appears...

    Question GPU reads as x8 instead of x16, wrong reading or motherboard dying?

    I have no other system to try this. CPU already checked and seems fine... Tomorrow I'll do the bios reset and clean install of Windows to see what happens, I'm even going to reconnect all of the power cables

    Question GPU reads as x8 instead of x16, wrong reading or motherboard dying?

    Only if I reboot and it shows x16 then it will stay reading as x16, gaming, 3d rendering, nothing changes the reading, so if I start the computer and it reads as x8 it will stay as x8... Mind that I can't choose anything or see the actual link speed properly on the UEFI, but the ASRock "System...

    Question GPU reads as x8 instead of x16, wrong reading or motherboard dying?

    @Darkbreeze It appears to do this of showing as "x8" instead of "x16" after the computer being turned off long enough, but I'm still not sure.... Nevertheless, what I did today: Removed PCIe x1 Wifi card - Same behavior Removed PCIe x1 Wifi card and changed the GPU to the second slot - Same...

    Question GPU reads as x8 instead of x16, wrong reading or motherboard dying?

    And has I said earlier I find so strange it not dropping from x16 2.0 to x16 1.1 when there is no load... I have now only Windows with GPU-Z opened and still on 2.0
