    Motherboard problem... maybe?

    Wound up RMAing the mobo. Got an MSI Tomahawk. Can't even get this thing to post now. I think I wound up with one of the older ones with a manufacture date from around April of last year. I was reading that the ones that first came out needed a BIOS update to make them play nicely with Ryzen...

    Motherboard problem... maybe?

    Pretty sure it isn't, but at least it's recognizing that more than 8GB is there now.

    Motherboard problem... maybe?

    Well, RAM issue resolved... sort of. Windows is recognizing about 15.4GB of RAM out of 16, but only if they're in slots A1 & A2, limiting the memory to single channel. Whatever. On to the next issue of the computer refusing to power down after shutting down Windows. It's just one thing after...

    Motherboard problem... maybe?

    It's all in the case right now and running. Windows is installed. Flashed the BIOS. The new problem is Windows 10 is only recognising 8 out of 16 GB of RAM as usable. It shows both 8GB sticks in the BIOS, plugged into slots A2 & B2. Virtual Memory issue perhaps? My first AMD build is starting...

    Motherboard problem... maybe?

    I'm not entirely sure what happened, but I unscrewed the fan and radiator to check for clearance on my CPU power connector. I moved it around to gave it a little more slack. Seems to be seated a little better now, so maybe that did it. It started right up shorting it with a paperclip. Front...

    Motherboard problem... maybe?

    Hi everyone. I'm having probably the biggest problem I've ever had while doing on a build and I was hoping someone could help point me in my next direction. First off, specs... Fractal Design Focus G White ATX Case AMD Ryzen 5 1600X ASRock AB350 Pro4 Motherboard Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB...

    2 Different SSDs...

    What you just described basically sounds like an SSHD. A little similar in purpose to a RAM disk as well, in using a faster piece of hardware to get more speed that a traditional mechanical hard drive. I've read that SSDs have a limited amount of read / writes to them. What kind of effect does...

    2 Different SSDs...

    At this point, I think I only have one free SATA port open on the motherboard, an ASMedia one, so it would seem that it is initializing it at every time I boot anyway. Thank you for the responses & help guys.

    2 Different SSDs...

    GotNoRice, can you explain exactly what the purpose of that is? I'm not too familiar with using a partition as a cache. SSD technology is rather new to me. Tsumi, so am I correct in assuming from your comment then, that a 3rd party controller is going to be slower than an Intel one?

    2 Different SSDs...

    Hi. Forgive me if this questions has been asked before, but I'm looking to expand my storage with a second SSD. I have a 120 GB Corsair Force GT SSD (Model F120GBGT-BK). It's split in to 2 partitions and reaching its limit between the OS on one and games on the other. I have an Asus Rampage...

    Blu Ray Audio Problem

    Seems as though the problem lies within TMT. PowerDVD 10 works great. I don't know the difference between all the new HD audio formats & features, but decent sound is better than no sound.

    Blu Ray Audio Problem

    I have 5 standard desktop speakers that plug into a "volume control box" for lack of a better word. It's a crappy little device that just has volume control knobs for front, rear and center speakers and the sub. That is connected to my Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer card via a standard audio...

    Blu Ray Audio Problem

    I bought a Pioneer Blu Ray Burner (BDR-205) and found out it wasn't happy with my old Viewsonic monitor for playing Blu ray movies. Seems it didn't support HDCP. So I figured I would upgrade my monitor since my Viewsonic was old. I picked up a Samsung Syncmaster P2570HD. I'm hooked up through...

    Cant read burned media in drive I just burned with

    Im using a Samsung Light Scribe burner model sh-s183l. I burned a couple of data CDs using Verbatim Light Scribe CDs this morning. When I tried to access the data from the drive, the window came up, all the software files looked like they burned to the CD, but they were coming up as blank icons...
