Hi there. I didn't buy the CPU second hand, it was new boxed. I applied new Artic MX-6 paste. The odd thing is though I have CoreTemp running and both times Windows froze it showed the temp at around...

5 days ago I upgraded the CPU in my AM4 system from a 2600x to a 5700x. In the space of that time I have had 2 freezes that requires me to restart the PC and just now a sudden restart, even though I...

So I have 2 PCI-E slots, I was thinking of moving my USB 3 card to where my SATA card is, swap them about in the case. The reason being I am purely guessing that the priority of "option ROM" in bios...

I will check. If there is, would this disable my RocketRAID one as well as the SATA one though ? I have a budget motherboard so I have a bad feeling my options will be limited.

I have a RocketRAID sata card, it boots up fine, shows RAID config screen just after the BIOS selection screen, etc. No problems. Today I bought a cheap JMB582 chip SATA card, 2 port, just to allow...

I am a bit confused, do you mean when I have the bad module in ? I just changed back to my okay 8gb module (while I await my 3rd set to arrive). Do I need to change back again ? Or will it tell me...

I have had 2 sets of Corsair memory (both were 16gb dual channel sets), both had 1 bad 8gb module per set, by bad I mean errors showing up in MemTest86 (I got blue screens with both sets when...

This will sound a very strange question, but for a long time I have had a i7 PC with Windows 10. It broke, so I replaced it with a Ryzen 1600x (the motherboard, CPU, and memory), also with Windows...

This is ultra strange. I have 2 PCs. For the last 3 months I have been having issues where just one of the PCs internet would slow down from the usual 60mbps to 20mbps or less (only on single thread,...

I can't access the bios now, the screen won't show up. Before this happened I installed the latest F16 bios. The confusing thing about the memory is I have tried all 4 one by one and it doesn't make...

What a nightmare, I posted yesterday about issues with my PC when my hard drive stopped working, I went around in circles on BIOS until finally I managed to find a way to update BIOS that allowed my...

I think you are misunderstanding me. I tried the mechanical drives earlier on today before I finally managed to get the BIOS update done. The SSD was perfectly seated BEFORE that, so when I removed...

OOPS, confession time guys, I have made a bit of a error. Just before I updated the bios earlier today I tested the different SATA ports out. It seems due to the odd placement of the SATA socket it...

I am trying every setting because nothing works, so thought why the hell not, I change one setting at a time, so I go back in to BIOS the next time and change it back if it didn't help. I am just...

Thanks. Date and time is fine. Yes, I set to optimized and also default, neither helped. SATA port goes up to 6TB thus far (highest drive I have), may go higher. Yep, I have tried every setting, also...

I guess there is that chance, but it has 2 SATA controllers on board and both don't work (with the SSD). But I do know before this happened my ethernet was poor, I tried 4 different NICs, even a USB3...

Thanks everyone. This is the weird thing though, other drives (mechanical) still work fine connected to that Port 0, and that is the same port I used for my 256gb SSD. I tried new power and sata...

Hi, thanks, yep, already thought of some of those, right this second I am creating a 220gb partition on my 480gb drive just in case. I also tried the cycle trick of leaving plugged with just power...

My 256gb SSD died the other day. I thought it would be simple enough, just get a new one and copy the backed-up image on to it. However, I got a 512gb Adata SSD and it won't show up in BIOS, I have...

A very strange issue here. I have 2 PCs. One of them, when I do a speed test, shows TBBX1 scores between 7 and 20mbps, where-as multi-thread is correct at 55mbps (max achievable 57). Upload is also...

[EDIT : See very bottom update 3 for my solution, however I would still be interested to hear from people to know why this happened]

Okay, an interesting situation here. Up until recently I could...

How in the world this has happened I don't know, but the font for Google, Gmail, Facebook, BBC, Daily Mail, and some other sites has suddenly changed to a crappy tiny one. But it effects ALL Chromium...

I am using Windows 10 home and in the lower right hand side of the screen I get the usual Windows 10 desktop notifications, but annoyingly they all come through at once. So I will be sitting here and...

One small niggle I have is the 6 external HDDs I have, which are connected to docks, constantly take about 5 seconds to come to life when needed, I suddenly hear them whir up when I click on them or...

Thanks for your advice. I tried everything, including upgrading with ISO over the top of existing version and the network resetting and uninstalling. The only thing that worked was a total Windows 10...
