    MSI H110M PRO-VH with i5-7400 - no display and no errors - need to update bios?

    I recently bought a H110M PRO-VH mb and an i5-7400 kaby lake. I'm able to start the PC without having any of the debug led lights on the mb staying on, but no video output or keyboard(usb) working. The fans works fine. I believe that this cpu is not compatible with the mb without updating the...

    PC just shut down, won't turn back on

    As title. My PC generally runs pretty cool, so I have no idea why it would decide to die on me. May have accidentally left it running the whole night, so possibly PSU? But the motherboard still has a green light on. Nothing else seems to be wrong -- I have a surge protected power strip heading...

    Dell i7347 vs i7348 ram

    When looking for new RAM, I can only find RAM for 7347, not 7348. I need the latter. Is there a difference? Also, I've heard that the i7348 can only have up to 8gb RAM, is that true?

    USB 2.0 PCI card with front panel connectors?

    Hello, I'm looking for a USB 2.0 PCI card with an internal header pinout so I can plug in the front headers on the case to the card. The reason why I can't use the motherboard's header is because the onboard USB 2.0 controller is fried for some reason and will not work. This is an LGA775 board...
