    Computer wont boot. Colored line glitches on boot logo. Logo stays forever. If it boots then Blue Screen after booting. Post boot freeze up.

    Sorry for the delay. It gave me boot problems. I would have to shut down and restart the computer. I eventually disabled hibernation. I also should've stated that this was with Win7. I don't use it in Window 10 because of previous issues. I just put it to sleep and never had an issue with...

    Hibernation always gave me problems with my older PC. I only put PC to sleep now.

    What are the most strange or weird or you-never-thought-of it-or imagined PC parts on Amazon

    Google is your friend. I just google what's in my head. You'd be amazed when your actual question pop up just as you type it and find what you are looking for because someone else had the same question. My Corsair 5000D case has one of these powered fan hubs already built into the back of the...

    Which fan/pump motherboard header should I use?

    If you really want to control your fans, set up fan curves (smooth fan ramp function and not that yo-yo function) using, say ambient temperature or water temperature (water cooling) or whatever parameter you can think of, then you should consider the Aquacomputer Octo or Quadro fan controllers...

    bios flashback question, asus z690-f

    That's exactly what I did when I installed the AMD 7800x3D. I flashed the BIOS to the board before I installed anything so that I knew 100% that it had the correct BIOS to accept the new CPU. BIOS Flashback is a much easier process than the other version I must say.

    bios flashback question, asus z690-f

    Ahh, that's why it did not work. The video doesn't specifically say not to have any files, but it specifically says to prepare drive by formatting it, which would wipe all files on the USB. Try it again next time. It's much easier than having to enter BIOS or the OS (I would not use the OS...

    bios flashback question, asus z690-f

    Yes, it works and it works perfectly. This is how I update BIOS and no it's not just for when you have a corrupt BIOS or some other BIOS issues; it's for updating BIOS, just another method to update BIOS. You just need to make sure you place the firmware in the root drive and not in a folder...

    Does the tool cost more than the board?

    Asus X670E Hero 1904 BIOS

    I agree about 0805 being rock solid but I knew it was time for an upgrade. I updated to 1904 which came out at the end of January. I've had no issues since the update. I reset all OC settings (CPU/RAM) from 0805 and ran many Cinebench stress and stability tests and it's been good. I really...

    Asus X670E Hero 1904 BIOS

    Yeah, I did see something about the LEDs during the updates but it was for the EK water blocks and the MB. Thanks. I was just curious.

    Asus X670E Hero 1904 BIOS

    Thanks for the feedback. I updated to 1904. I ran/running some Cinebench tests (stock and Ai Oc) and EXPOII and all is good so far. Question. I noticed when I booted the system after I loaded the new firmware, it gave several messages that it was updating other things, such as Thunderbolt...

    Asus X670E Hero 1904 BIOS

    Thanks. I was thinking the same thing but after reading what is was for, but they always put that one bullet there about improved system stability that makes you think about it. Which version do you suggest that most had success with?

    Asus X670E Hero 1904 BIOS

    Anyone update to new BIOS? Any news on it...good, bad, stay away? I read to stay away from 1807 because it was unstable for many (assume that's the reason for 1904) and that 1709 was pretty good. I am still on what I believe is the original or 2nd BIOS (0805) and considering updating to the...

    Don't know if it's the game or the GPUs

    Yeah it was the game giving me fits. Other than this particular scene, I've been able to run DX11 and all the other goodies. Ironic you mention the driver because the games gives a message that I am not using the most current drivers when in fact I am. Thanks.

    Batman: Arkham City for PC

    Cool that's good to know ^^^^ OK I turned off DX11 and set Physx to medium for the fight with the Joker and was able to get through the mission. I have one more question. Can I set up an icon for the PC settings so that I don't have to exit all the way out of the game to change the PC...

    Alrighty. I have some settings to change then. When I start the game, I keep getting the message that my drivers are not up to date, which they are. How can I eliminate this message? Thanks

    What single GPU would replace

    my 560 (no ti) sli setup? I am considering going with just one GPU but not sure if that would be better or worse than where I am today, but with so much data out there and me being pretty new to the world of PC gaming, I am not sure which single card would match or exceed my sli setup. The...

    Don't know if it's the game or the GPUs

    Thanks for enlightening me as this is all new to me. I did not get a chance to test the settings last night because I was dead tired when I got home yesterday. I know I can disable DX11 in the game settings, but do I disable physx in the game or in the nVidia settings? Thanks...Al

    Dell U2412M

    Glad I found this thread. I just spec'd my new computer build and needed a monitor. I currently use a HP vs 19 that was purchased back in 2005, so any new unit will be an upgrade at this point. I really wanted a 27" monitor, but all of them seem to be wide-gamut units and I really only need...
