I am building a PC and would like to know if my parts are compatible. Thank you very much. Memory: G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C16D-16GTZR Motherboard: GIGABYTE B450 AORUS PRO WIFI (rev. 1.0) AM4 AMD B450...

I got this advice from another board and it worked, so my machine is back and running. Thank you everyone for your suggestions: Older M4 firmwares can get hung up if the computer crashes unexpectedly. The way to get the drive to recover is to unplug the computer completely for a couple of...

how can i run test programs if it doesn't boot up?

Here are my components. The SSD drive contains the operating system and it won’t boot up since it isn’t being recognized. Windows 7 Home premium, 64-bit. Western Digital WD Black WD2002FAEX 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive SAPPHIRE 100352-2L...

Our PC keeps breaking down. It will suddenly lock up and when you try to reboot it, it no longer recognizes the hard drives. When it happened on Sunday, I could not get it to work but the next day I reset the BIOS and it started working. It went down again today and is still not working so...

Our SSD drive failed and needs replacing. We don’t want to spend the money for another SSD drive, so the new drive will be our boot drive and contain our programs. Any data stored on it will have a copy on another drive/cloud/dvd. We are thinking about this Toshiba from New Egg...

I need to get a new internal hard drive and would like to get some recommendations. It will be 2TB or 3TB (preferable) and 7200 RPM, not on a network. Which drives would you suggest I check out. Thank you Jerry

Thank you for the suggestions. Do you have any tips on how long I should run the stress tests for? Jerry

I have just finished build a PC, parts are listed below, and would like some recommendations on some Freeware/demo programs I can run to do Benchmarks and Stress test: Western Digital WD Black WD2002FAEX 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive SAPPHIRE...

thanks for the help. I decided to re-install windows and this time when i loaded the drivers from the cd, the video card showed up. now to load in all the newest drivers i need. jerry

Thanks for the replies. The hard drive was not formatted, that took about 5 hours. I installed the disk that came with the motherboard, but I can't seem to find any drivers for it at their website. Here is what I could find: AMD Media Codec Package HydraVision Package ATI Catalyst...

I have Windows 7 Home premium, 64-bit. My new PC has a Crucial SSD drive which works fine, and a 2TB western Digital which seems invisible. The drive is a WD2002FAEX. IN the BIOS the drive is listed in the SATA2_4 slot. The SATA controller is ‘enabled’, the SATA mode selection is AHCI...

I'm such an idiot. I didn't have the power to the CPU plugged in. I still am not getting a beep when booting up though, but windows is now installing Jerry

Did you computer produce any beeps and if so how many? - there were no beeps Are you sure you plugged it into the video card? - yes, the fans are spinning If so double check that it's seated properly on the motherboard and plugged in comfortably. - i removed the video card and placed it...

I just built a PC and when I turned it on for the first time I got nothing. It powered up, all the fans were running, but nothing showed on the monitor. Here are the components all from Newegg. I’ll be installing Windows 7 Pro once I get that far. Western Digital WD Black WD2002FAEX 2TB...

Danny: What recommendation do you have for the CPU: We just ordered the Seasonic 750 PSU I will go with on-board sound for now, I can always add the sound card if I think I need better sound. I'll check out the 4x4 memory prices to see what the difference is. Thank you Stitchmanz

Danny: Thank you for your hep. My version of Windows 7 is the Home Premium 64Bit. What do you think about this Ares memory, it's 1866? Is there any advantage in getting 1866 vs 1600? Does the color of the memory mean anything, for example the same corsair 16GB has 3 different colors...

1: What will you be doing with this PC: Gaming (RPG – not online, action/ adventure), watching videos, lots of photo editing 2: What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included: $1,700 includes tax and shipping 3: Which country do you live in: WA, USA 4: What exact parts do you...

If the cost are pretty close, then I would go with a 7200. RPM. The WD Green is $110 and the WD Black is $180, to me that is not a close price. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136792 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136891 I'm also...

For my new build that I am planning on making, I know I want to get a 256SSD drive (Samsung 830/840). In addition, preferably 2TB or more drive. I have noticed that 5400 drives are becoming more popular again. My main usage for the second drive will be media storage. Are 5400 drives worth...

Thanks for the replies, sounds like the 7950 is the way to go. If I decided I wanted to do some mild overclocking (i.e., not having to add any extra cooling), how much could I safely do? Do you have any recomendations as to which 7950 to get? Stitchmanz

I am thinking about getting one of these 3 cards for a new system and would like some advise on which would be the best value for the money. My monitor is 1920x1080. While I am willing to buy an overclocked version of the card, I will not be doing any overclocking once I get the card...

Tsumi: Are there any particular models you would suggest? thank you Jerry

thank you, i will check out the general hardware forum

I’m thinking of building my own machine, rather than buying a pre-built one. I keep reading that it is better to build your own, but I know nothing about which parts to buy. I know that the pieces have to work with each other, but don’t know where to begin. I’ve been trying to do some...

Could you please list which ones are quieter. Thank you Stitchmanz

Which card is quieter, the 6970 or the 570 Thank you Stitchmanz

Danny Bui: how does the Intel Core i5 2400 compare to the i7 series - I want a CPU that will last 3-4 years. If I upgrade the memory to 16RAM, would I need to get 4x4 or do they have 2x8. I saw in another note that memory was not compatable with a heat fan. How do you know what is or is not...
