    Upgrade Options/Path Help or Suggestions

    TV with a wall mount could be a possibility. The thing is my desk is a corner desk, got any corner mount suggestions? The cheapy wall mounts I've had in the past just pissed me off, bought a omnimount years ago when tvs were starting to get lighter but the cheapy mounts were bowing under the...

    If I was running both the laptop and desktop at the same time. I'd likely have the center and right monitor for the desktop and left monitor for the laptop. And it's hard to visualize the size of the 34" curved you linked, but I'd say I could probably do 2 of them side by side without much...

    Upgrade Options/Path Help or Suggestions

    So, getting older and having less time to spend on gaming and keeping up with PC hardware in general. I have a general idea on where I'd like to end up, but I'd like to get there in a way that makes sense and where I'll be happy with what I end up with. Right now I have a desktop that I...

    Seeming System Partition Corruption.

    Since I hate when these problem threads go without a final solution, here's what so far has happened and I THINK it's fixed. Only time will tell if it'll corrupt again due to another hardware issue. So first, 3/4 memory sticks were bad in the computer. I am waiting on a replacement RMA for...

    Seeming System Partition Corruption.

    Fourth stick has tested good in slot 1 and 2 for 4-5 passes in memtest86+. So I think I've definitely got a bad set of memory on my hands with very infrequent/odd errors. Which may be causing my problem. Only way I can be kinda sure at this point is to get the rest of the windows updates (if...

    Seeming System Partition Corruption.

    Replaced SATA cable.......tested third stick of memory in bank 1 and it tested bad on one address multiple times in test 8. Going to test fourth stick overnight. Only concern I have is memtest86+ is reporting the wrong CAS numbers for my ram, it's slower at 11-11-11, but at 28 in the fourth...

    Seeming System Partition Corruption.

    It's a Corsair ax1200i power supply. I have not replaced the cable, but can easily do that. Other updates: So far I have individually tested two of the four sticks with memtest86+ and both failed on one or two addresses, I am going to retest them to see if they fail on the same addresses...

    Seeming System Partition Corruption.

    This problem is bizarre, so I am posting here trying to see if it's a sign of a possible SSD drive failure that I've never heard of before. This is an existing build, it's ran for ......3 years or so with one video card failure and no other major issues in that time aside from a weird powering...

    No Post problem after more than a year of using the machine.

    Yeah I bought a set of them from Auto Zone...which worked out to 3 bucks a piece. Figured can use em in the key fobs if they need em. I guess I am going to RMA at this point. Thanks to everyone for the help, it'll be a week or two until I get a replacement motherboard to try things out again...

    Was running, then it wasn't when powered down. I reseated the ram multiple times now in a number of the banks.

    Debating on RMAing today or doing more tests, my irritation with it is telling me to RMA it, but it'd be nice to know it's not something else. Though I can't check the CPU at all and the PSU will be kind of an ordeal. Couldn't find the plastic cover for the CPU socket so just going to put tape...

    Pulled CPU and powered up. No beep codes...CPU LED lights up and stays lit, DRAM LED doesn't light up that I witnessed.

    What is this type of battery called? Can it be purchased from the auto parts store? It looks like the kind of battery that comes out of a key FOB. I called Asus support to see if they had any ideas on the issue, and they gave me an RMA. But I'm still tempted to try to solve the problems...

    Ok slightly helpful update. I have to RMA the old memory, so I started using one stick of the new memory. No change to how the motherboard behaves/blinks. I also found another computer speaker and it beeps when I remove the memory with a long tone and two shorts. No beeping at all when I...
