PCI

This has been a 6 month saga of fighting my soundcard to get it back to its original glory. If you have even a slight idea of what is going on, I am desperate for help. My soundcard is not showing up in Windows. It used to work totally fine, until about 6 months ago where upon rebooting my...

I picked up parts for 2 builds recently (not gpus) so have some extra hardware to test with. I got a ryzen 7 3700x and 2 asus tuf motherboards (b450-pro II(probably) and x570 pro wifi). My second cpu hasn't arrived yet so I cant test that yet. The issue is that with BOTH boards, my graphics...

What is the meaning of this yellow light inside my computer's tower? View: https://i.imgur.com/tzF3wEp.png It is blinking constantly and it's basically been there since I got the computer. It blinks slowly though. Is it maybe related to a WIFI PCIe card or something?

I currently am setting up a capture card into the pci x8 slot of this mobo since this mobo doesn't have pcie gen 2 slots. My question is this: Since the manual states that the x4 slot is disabled since I have an SSD installed in the m2 slot that shares bandwith and also states that when the x8...

Hi, i just got a new gpu (GTX 1080) and it didn't fit in the first slot, so according to my motherboard it has 2 PCI-E 3.0 x16, i was wondering if ill be fine using the second PCI slot and not lose any performance This is the motherboard im using: Asus B450-F Gaming...

Hi guys, I did quite a serious research on motherboards and principles of their work. However, a few points are either left unclear or I just wanted to double-check them with you. Will highly appreciate your comments: Is it right, that PCIe 4.0 is not the same as PCIe x4. So 4.0 means the...

A few days ago I was web browsing and and typing on keyboard, the GPU display signal went and hasn't been back since in the slot. I removed the HDMI cable from my GPU and connected it to the integrated graphics HDMI port, it was extremely distorted. I assumed the HDMI cable was the problem...

Hi, Just did a fresh install and formatting of my PC after years of successful running. Now my 2080 Super isnt being detected by device manager in Win10. The PCI is listed under "Other Devices" and windows fails to find/update any drivers associated with this. Under "Display Adapter" it says the...

Hi gentlemen, So I gave my GTX 1060 to my best buddy to upgrade his build. Problem is, his PSU doesn't has any cables at all. Just some weird SATA like connector in the back. Please see picture. https://ibb.co/0MNTmhb https://ibb.co/kqXCbns Never seen any PSU like that... It's 690W so it...

So I just got a GTX 1060 from a friend. I am upgrading my (awful) GT 710. It says I need a pci power cord? I didn't need one for my GT 710. This is my card:

I am hoping to upgrade to a new 3000 series nvidia card in a couple weeks after they are hopefully announced. I am running a 4k Ultrawide monitor and a second 4k monitor on my pc. I use the ultrawide for gaming but in newer titles it struggles. I was hoping to look view my PCI e or even just my...

Sorry, entered wrong email on other post. After days of unsuccessfully installing my GPU, I narrowed down the problem to the default graphics output settings in BIOS. Every time I switch it from auto to PCIE, then save and exit, the settings go back to default and my PC is unable to recognize my...

I installed a TP-Link AX3000 PCI-E wifi/bluetooth card into a new build, on a MSI H310M pro motherboard. I did all the instructions, installed the drivers that came with the CD, restarted, and wifi still isn't enabled. Nothing shows up when i try to connect to a network, it just says theres no...

I want to get an RTX 2080 or 2080Ti and my current GPU is a GTX1080. I dont know too much about the way the GPU is connected to the motherboard but currently my motherboard is connected to my GPU over a x8 PCI-Express (Im not sure if I said that right). The Link width is x8 and the PCI Version...

Hi all, due to my USB slots being filled up, I've purchased a USB 3.0 PCI-E expansion card from Orico, specifically the PVU6-502I-V1. My issue is that devices plugged into the card do not initialise along with Windows. The devices will only work when Windows has started and I replug them. I...

Hey everyone, First post here so let me know if this is not the right thread. I'm trying to install a GPU in a plasma cutting table PC, to help with rendering when they draw designs. The GPU works fine when installed, the problem is after I installed it the LPT3 device stopped working. This...

I am planning to buy a graphics card, however I have some doubt about whether my PCIe slot is alive or not because of the following : 1. A few years ago my PC stopped working. The local mechanic replaced the SMPS and took out the Zotac GT 610. VGA was then directly plugged to the motherboard. I...

Hello, I recently begun the rebuilding of my PC, this involved getting a new motherboard: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SXF8GY3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 While this is overall solid for everything I need it for, the one thing that it lacks, for me anyway, is the...

I know some variation of this question has probably been asked before, but I want to ask afresh so I don't get confused. I understand enough about CPUs and RAM and even PSUs, built my own desktop but I remain perpetually confused about PCI and lanes. I have a SSD as the boot drive. I want...

On two separate brand motherboards the x16 PCI Slot is intermittent (but mostly not working). Any GPU only works in the x8 slot in either. System: AMD 3700. ASUS Crosshair VII X470. 32GB Gskill memory (2x16) Corsair HX 850w. I've tried my wife's 1070 in both slots and only the x8 works. I've...

I am using a PCE-AC56 2x2 802.11ac Wifi AC1300 PCIe wireless adapter on Windows 10-64bit, I think it is dying now because earlier today it was fine now it is struggling like crazy to hold a connection for longer than 10 seconds. I should add the computer was on for at least 10hours as well and...

Hello! I have an M-Audio Delta 1010LT PCI sound card (Here's a review so you can see it - https://www.gearslutz.com/board/reviews/715065-m-audio-delta-1010lt.html) which is in my now very tired Dell T3400 workstation, which since the upgrade to Windows 10 can't really cope anymore. I'd like to...

Hey Guys - I recently purchased a new M.2 SSD which I installed via a PCI card as MB didn't have a slot. I cloned my old SATA SSD to it via Macrium Reflect, updated my BIOS so I could boot to it, and all started working. I use my PC all day and during the day it works great. When not using...

Hi, I'm just trying to teach myself IT fundamentals, I would like to know how to calculate the bandwith of a PCIe slot. I'm using a CompTIA IT Fundamentals but can't undertand the calculation. Btw, my english sucks xD

Hello, My old Dell T3400 is starting to grind to a halt. Unfortunately it is the PC I use for home recording and was wondering if I might be able to use the sound card externally on my HP laptop? It doesn't have to be a fancy casing, it's more the adapter that I am looking to find. When I...

I've been thinking about this for a while now (I think I've even made posts about it before, not sure) and I approached the idea through numerous ways like using a USB adapter and mounting it internally through one of the headers or get a motherboard with a floppy controller which is well not...
