For about 2-3 weeks now whenever I boot up my desktop it gets 'stuck' on the pre-bios screen for about 3 mins every time I boot it up. The little beep that normally comes does sound. I can't access the BIOS either, although the screen still shows. When the computer finally boots it works...

a few days ago, i noticed my PC making a real weird noise during a chkdsk. i thought it was my hdd but it is coming from my psu. it sounds like a dog whistle mixed with a 3D printer. please help!
My graphics card is on and the fans are spinning but it isnt displaying. The light on the graphics card isnt on either. I can’t launch BIOS because I don’t have on board graphics
Or just when hitting a loading screen on games it often speeds up near max RPM for a few seconds then goes back to normal.
Used stock Intel cooler for processor then switched to Cooler Master Hyper 212X, same issue so must be bios related?

Which AMD processor is comparable in power to an i7-6700K? Tried searching for it, but am having a hard time. Is that Intel chip older, maybe that is the problem? I have a spec from a vender recommending that Intel CPU and want to go with a current AMD that is just as good. Business machine, not...
My system specs are listed below. I'm possibly interested in buying an FX8350 to replace my aging FX4130. the upgrade will cost me roughly $50. My question is whether it is worth upgrading to the 8350 and keeping my AM3+ motherboard for another 2-3 years or if I'd be better off selling my...
