motherboard

Hi all, I recently started dabbling with old PC hardware as I find it all quite interesting. For the purposes of testing old AGP and PCI cards, I thought I’d get a test bench together with an older motherboard. I then discovered ASRock made weird motherboards that had AGP, PCI, and PCIe slots...

Here is my Z390 Godlike motherboard: https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813144209 Why are the 2 outer NVME slots bigger than the one NVME slot in the middle? I recently ordered a Samsung 990 Pro 4TB NVME, am I ONLY able to install that storage drive in the middle NVME slot on the motherboard?

My motherboard is Z390 Godlike. The PC was working normally and then all of a sudden, the PC could not reboot normally with this error message: https://ibb.co/5xCv096 I have already tried fixing it by checking the "Boot Priorities" and my Samsung 2TB NVME is there #1 as normal. My PC also...

What the title says. I built a new PC about half a year ago and just now noticed that the prongs on the IO shield aren’t making contact with most of the ports. Do I need to take the whole thing apart and bend the prongs to get them to touch or would that be a waste of time? I know they’re...

I bought a mid-range motherboard that came out the factory 2 months ago. I will use it for a future PC build I'm planning, but I'm not actively working on it. The question is: If I leave the motherboard for about 12 months without power (it won't be unpacked and connected to a power supply for...

Hi, I own an ASRock ROMED8-2T Server Motherboard and since a recent reboot of the machine, it won't boot nor show any video signal on an external monitor. The IPMI ethernet port flashes but doesn't get a DHCP address. The BIOS screen shows b2 code. Here's what I tried to troubleshoot the...

I know it's RAM- related issue, but I don't know what it is, and I don't have extra DDR5 kit to test if both sticks I have are faulty. Things I've tried: Reseated rams (Pushing down any further will probably break them) Removed 1 stick and tried the other in all of the slots, except A1...

I swapped my RX 6600 to my friend's 1070Ti, I forgot that I have enabled REBAR in the Bios beforehand for the SAM in AMD GPUs. Now that I plugged in the 1070Ti, it does not display. The 1070Ti was working fine in my friend's system btw. I tried removing the CMOS battery, but still no display...

My father has a PC that he built back in 2004. At that time it was quite the rig, but now it's obviously like watching a turtle walk whenever it tries doing something. Normally in this situation, a fresh install on the new PC of windows 10 or 11 would do most people fine, but that won't work...
