BIOS reports 29C CPU, no malware from the scan. I'm beginning to think it's a mobo issue... few more symptoms: Computer will not recognize anything freshly plugged into USB while it's running - it will ONLY do so when they are plugged in for the boot. Anything that tries to interact with...

Oh you're right. I should have noted I have a Samsung 990 Pro, which are apparently prone to catastrophic health issues. I'm getting an 84% health rating from CrystalDiskInfo (which I think is not great), however, SAMSUNG Magician also hangs when I try to install it for more dedicated support...

Hello, around 18 hours ago my computer suddenly randomly degraded significantly in general. I'll try to explain all the specifics of what happened. I'm leaning towards a graphics card or software issue at the moment but this is so general/random that I figured I'd post here. I'll also note that...

I did a little bit better testing today with more alternate RAM combinations. I found that the computer simply will not POST whenever ANY B RAM slot is filled. DIMM_B1 and DIMM_B2 having anything in them causes failure - whereas I am currently running fine with A1 and A2 both filled. However...

Sure. CPU: Ryzen 9 5900X Motherboard: ASUS TUF GAMING X570-PRO WIFI II RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3600 (PC4-28800) C18 SSD: Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB GPU: AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT PSU: EVGA Supernova 750 P2 Chassis: Phanteks Enthoo Pro M OS: Windows 10 BIOS Version: 4204 I...

I am testing out a computer I was hoping to have just finished when I found that it will simply not POST when any more than 1 RAM slot is filled. I did the usual RAM diagnostics, and found from Googling that this exact issue actually may be caused by the CPU/mobo socketing. Apparently...

Do you have a temperature monitor? I also have this issue with my RTX 2070. I've been searching around and I always see people have a Max temperature of exactly 78 degrees C. I'm not sure if that matters, but it seems odd that it ALWAYS has that temperature when I am getting the worst FPS drops...

So I used Windows 7 for the longest time, and when I had my phone plugged in before going into sleep mode, it would remain charging until I disconnected it. Now that I'm using Windows 10, this no longer happens. I tried: Going into Device Manager > USB Controllers > USB Root Hub > UNCHECK...

I actually ended up just sticking the RAM in my old system to test, and that recognized them fine, so I think I’m out of self-fixable options now. I’ll just RMA it and get it repaired... time to see if I can keep the watercooling loop intact while also providing the clearance to get the board...

Ah, ok. Yes I have but I fail to POST with the correct BIOS in, so I was hoping resetting CMOS would allow me to boot into the recovery. Not according to the B350-F manual, which says this means No memory detected. The B350-F uses 1 long, 3 short for video.

No problem! I will definitely USB flashing instead of downloading from the internet if I ever try flashing again. I have one last question before I throw in the towel, because I believe I have been trying to clear the CMOS wrong. Am I supposed to provide power while jumping the CLRTC pins...

Yep, RAM was detected perfectly fine before my BIOS update attempt and I haven't touched it since. I just checked to confirm, I used the ASUS EZ Flash option in the BIOS.

My speaker came in. Got 1 long beep, 2 short beeps, which is the RAM as I expected from the little light that replaces the speaker functions. Is it possible to boot into BIOS without RAM? Or is RAM always a necessity even for BIOS running? I could have sworn I saw someone recommend running your...

I'll be honest I don't remember exactly what I did anymore, but I was in BIOS. I know I pressed F2 at boot to enter the BIOS, then I somehow ended up coming across a button that said "Update BIOS" verbatim, remaining in the BIOS the entire time. It may have been in the Advanced category...

Oh oh my god I completely forgot there are SPKR pins on the system panel. No wonder I wasn't getting any sound... I had them plugged into line out. My case doesn't have a 4pin speaker though so I'll have to pick one up from somewhere, but then I can finally get some beep codes. I suppose now...
