Mother Board

Hi there, good people, TL;DR version: my PC randomly crashes. Under load, in sleep or even when shut down (no shutdown for fast startup or whatever Windows calls it either, good old shutdown). It looks like somebody pulled the cord, but USB lights are still ON. To make it work I need to flip...

Hello, I just bought this pc and its making these noises and i cant pinpoint where its coming from or whats causing it, can anybody help? It makes them even when idle , just sitting in BIOS or desktop. Its definitely not a wire rubbing in a fan, doesnt seem like coil whine. MOBO speaker beeps...

Hi. This is my first time building a PC. I've been trying to get my build finished for a few weeks now, but I keep getting the same problem. I have everything put together and turn the computer on. All the fans are running and the motherboard light is lit. No beeping. When I plug in hdmi to dvi...

Can i put the motherboard (after attaching the chip to it) in the same antistatic bag? Will it cause any problem or damage?

To save some money on a case i was wondering what size this board is, everywhere i could find info says it's an ATX but i wanna be sure before i buy a new board and try to fit it inside.

Hello, I was considering to upgrade my motherboard and cpu, and i was going to upgrade my current mobo for a Asus prime x570-p, but putting my system on partpicker gives me this note/error: "The Asus PRIME X570-P ATX AM4 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the Corsair CX...

i5 12500 + Msi Pro B660M-A or i5 12600k + msi Pro B660M-A which is better? If I don't overclock then can I use 12600k with Msi pro B660m-a . I wanted to get more cores to get better performance in productivity work but didn't have the budget to get a Z series motherboard. 12600k has total 10...

I will be getting a 5600 or 5600x and I need to choose a b550 board. Most important thing for me is better performance in cpu based games (dont know if a motherboard can have an affect on this) and audio. The highest I would go for is an Asus tuf b550 plus (170€) but there are some cheaper...

Hello guys, My pc actually works fine when it boots successfully, however CPU QLED on Mobo turns on usually every time at start. Then system automatically gets off and try to start again, this repeats 2 or 3 times. Finally system boots successfully and works without any warning or errors and...

Hi Guys, So, bit of back story. Sometime around 6 months ago my GPU decided to Artifact and was no longer usable. Fairly straight forward. Then i borrowed a friends 6600XT. All is well again. However, randomly 6 months on, when playing any game more demanding than say, rocket league and...

My PC now refuses to boot. Everything powers up, lights on and fans blowing, but does not boot up. I get a q code of 26 on my Asus ranger mother board. Leading up to this it would occasionally not boot like above, but when hard reset it would book ok. Any advice would be great.

Hi, So I made silly mistake when transfering a CPU from one motherboard to another, The machine I was taking the CPU out of, still had the power cable plugged into the power supply and the powersupply switch was in an ON state (The Computer was OFF though). I forgot to switch the power supply...

Hey y'all, you can call me Q I have a quick question, what are some particular reasons a MOBO won't jump start even if there is power being routed through it? For some context, I have a new MOBO, PSU and Case. Was in the process of transferring everything over and I turned on the MOBO to see...

Heyo. Haven't built a system in a long time and looking to upgrade. Currently stuck on the motherboard of all things though, as the PCI(e) generations are confusing me. Chipsets like the B350 are listed as PCIe gen2 yet the listings of actual B350 motherboards are stating it's using PCIe...

Hey all, I've been having problems with my pc for a while since I built it but I finally got it working pretty well. That is until my motherboard started to not recognize my new graphics card (6600xt) whenever my pc turns off. (I'm able to fix the problem by removing and returning the bios...

I bought a pre-built on Facebook about 5 months ago and the Pc ran fine. I started having performance drop due to CPU heat issues. So I recently upgraded my CPU Cooler to Corsair H150I and Case to Corsair 4000D When I would push the power button all case fans and RGB light up for half a second...

So my pc stopped working some days ago, pressing power button or sorting the board pins do nothing now, I've faced this same problem last year as well, where it will work normally at the computer shop but wouldn't start at home. I did lots of digging on this issue last time and found out it was...

Hello forums, Just a couple days ago my computer started having this problem where after being off through the night, it wouldn't turn on the next day until I switch the PSU off and then on again. I recently bought a wireless razer mouse which charges by putting it on a stand which has RGB...

So my friend gave me his old GTX 970 since i wanted to upgrade from my GTX 1050. I knew my CX430 wouldnt handle it very well, cause EVGA recommends 500w at minimum, but i wanted to test it out anyway to see if it worked. I booted up with the 970 and it made an insane high pitched noise and no...

I have a home server that just gave up the ghost. The motherboard, CPU, memory, and power supply were all ancient, so I figured I might just as well renew everything but the SSDs. I bought the following: Gigabyte B450M S2H AMD Ryzen 5 4500 3.6GHz Thermaltake Smart RGB 500W 80 Plus Corsair...
