Hello everyone. This is my first post and I am a rookie when it comes to pc building. I built this PC close to 3 years ago now and after 7 hours that day and finally getting everything figured out and working, I left it be, only spraying it with some compressed air every now and then. Then, a couple days ago, after downloading Corsair ICUE to sync up all my fans, I noticed it was only recognizing the fans that were plugged into the Corsair USB hub. For some reason, I had set up to have all 6 fans plugged into the Corsair RGB hub via the fan port. but only 3 of those fans were plugged into thei ..read more

Before you leave your comments "Read this guide, read that guide xyz... ". I did red this guide word by word and followed every single step which is mentioned. The reason why I am posting my thread is that I need some serious help. My pc won't turn on after cleaning up. Last time I used it was 2 days ago before cleaning. When I press power button my fans spins normally and I get "check video cable" on my monitor. My keyboard and mouse are non responding. I only have this pc for my college studies. If y'all can help me fix it, it would make my studies alot easier. My Specs: Cpu: Intel Xeon E3 ..read more

So I built a new PC a week ago CPU: Ryzen 7 7700, PBO, Motherboard limits, CO-20 RAM: GoodRAM IRDM 6000MHz/CL30 2x16GB, EXPO-6000 30-36-36-37 MOBO: ASrock B650M HDV/M.2, latest 3.20 update GPU: GTX 970 (I'm waiting for my 9070 XT) SSD: WD Blue sn580 1TB Minidumps Memtest reports Within the first hour of it being posted , it bluescreened with IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL caused by display manager process (dwm.exe, no PBO/CO).

I bought a new nvme M.2 sdd 2 days ago. Cloned windows to my old hdd, pulled the old m.2 out and set the new one while my other files were on another ssd (SATA, so 3 drives in total). My motherboard has only one m.2 slot, so I couldn't just unplug the old m.2 (where the os is at) and plug in the new one. Swapped them, booted in from hdd, from BIOS and for the first time everything was fine. The next time I tried to boot the pc, I lost all the files on the ssd (sata one) and all the system files were copied on that one. I didn't clone anything on the ssd, it just booted from it apparently (I th ..read more

I have an ASUS Crosshair V Formula Z motherboard and I was looking through the QVL Memory List and found an entry that makes no sense to me. Under the DDR3 2133 MHz Capability is an entry for G.SKILL F3-17000CL11Q2-64GBZLD 64GB (8X8GB) DS 11-11-11-30 1.5v. The problem is there are only 4 memory slots on this motherboard, so unless there are 4 hidden memory slots on this motherboard somewhere, there is no way I can install this 8 card kit into the ASUS Crosshair V Formula Z motherboard. My question; is there some secret to installing this memory kit on this motherboard? Maybe the top comes off ..read more
