Hi, I'm looking for a motherboard to replace my Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming GT. It's a PC mainly used for gaming that I built 2 years ago. Unfortunately this model is no longer available, and I can't seem to find any good replacement on Amazon. I found this one...

Reinstalling Windows didn't help. Neither did a new PSU. Looks like it's time to get a new motherboard.

Specs: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming GT Intel Core i7-4790K Quad Core CPU 4.00 GHz1150 ATX Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 G1 GAMING 4 GB (3.5 GB + 0.5 GB) G.Skill TridentX DDR3-2400 CL10 32GB Kit (8x4) Corsair RM Series 850 Watt PSU Hi, I'm getting a bad, random (see below) sutter when using my PC. It's...

Well, what do you know. It hasn't happened again... yet. I don't know if I should be happy or concerned...

If it happens again, I'll try.

Hi, Yesterday my (1 month old) PC started making a sort of whirring resonance sound. It's not extremely loud, but fairly audible coming from the case. The sound stops if I: open the case (it's the type the side of which can be easily opened without screws) or lift the case off the ground, or...

It looks like the culprit was a loose 24 pin cable. Seems to work fine. Problem is I'm still not 100% sure the cable is all the way in, but I've been working on pressing it for the past 30 minutes, and any longer I'm afraid I'll crack the motherboard. Anyway, thanks all of you for your...

OK, after plugging and unplugging some cables, situation is stabilized. I'm now at the stage, where boot is ok if lying on side, but not if standing up. If I lift it horizontally while it's lying it goes off the moment it leaves the ground. If I put it down and it's still off, tapping the case a...

Update 2: For a moment I reached a stage where it would boot properly if lying on its side, but not if standing up. Could it be a short somewhere? I looked around at all the wires and it seems fine. Any idea where to loo?

Update: I removed graphics card connected all 3 fans to case headers, and it booted perfectly. reconnected 3 fans to mobo headers and it doesn't switch on again. Reconnected fans to case header, still won't work. Unplugged fans, still nothing. Really weird. It was working just now. Any ideas...

Hi, Hi, I build a new PC yesterday. Switched it on and it seemed to work fine. Today I wanted to install the OS. I spent around half an hour browsing through BIOS options, but didn't change anything. The only thing I noticed was that it showed rpm of only 1 case fan out of 3. All 3 fans...

The modem and router are one unit. I tried resetting yesterday already. Anyway, it seems better today. While the Autoneg is still working very slowly, "Autonego for 100FD" seems to work much better than yesterday. EDIT: spoke too soon. Losing connection still happens though arguably less often.

Hi, I got a new broadband package and received a new Technicolor TC7200 router. I'm using 2 machines to connect to it. A laptop with Windows 7 and an old 6-year-old desktop using Windows XP. Laptop works without a problem both wired and wireless. The problem is when I connect the desktop...
