problems


Recommended Posts

My cat decided to chew my power cable and then it shocked my motherboard and wrecked it. my power supply fried but at least it was on warranty.

 

the motherboard and cpu and gpu were wrecked(all still had the 30 day amazon warrenty still), but the ram made it( took it to a computer store and they stress test it)

so i was thinking of just getting another motherboard and the same cpu . intel core ultra 5 245kf and z890 then i saw black Friday sales and cyber monday sales.

 

i have a Dell 27 Plus 4K Monitor - S2725QS - 27-inch 4K (3840 x 2160) 120Hz

i was thinking of going to amd or the older generations of intel 12,13 or 14(heard they were better then the new ones)

 

would my 6400mhz cl38 ram work on those platforms?  i want to use my ram as it cost me 131 bucks 32gb . right now 6000mhz cl30 is over 600 bucks.

i have few video cards im looking at.

9060 xt 8gb

9060 xt 16gb

5060 ti 8gb

arc b580 12gb

Before people can suggest what motherboard to get it's important to know if your RAM is compatible with both Intel and AMD.

DDR5 is sold as EXPO (AMD), or XMP (Intel) only these days but there is also DDR5 RAM that are capable of providing both XMP and EXPO profiles so you aren't limited to just AMD or Intel.

You will still be able to use the RAM on an incompatible CPU, but it will get locked to 4800MHz without the EXPO or XMP profiles. 

So let us know the model number of the RAM (or the link to where you bought it).

    • Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The release date of Grand Theft Auto VI has moved quite a lot since its original announcement in 2023, but it finally looks like the game has found its final launch slot. Rockstar today had a new video upload on its YouTube channel, and while it wasn't a new trailer for the game, the company revealed two things. This was the pre-order kickoff date for Grand Theft Auto VI as well as the game's official cover art. The company revealed that June 25 is when fans of the series will be able to pre-order their copy of Grand Theft Auto VI. Pre-orders will be available both digitally and in retail stores. The newly unveiled cover art shows off the two new protagonists, as well as a few more characters that are probably vital to the campaign storyline. Shots of vehicles players can use like a light helicopter, motorcycle, sports car, and speed boat are also seen here, alongside a shot of a crocodile. "Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them," says Rockstar describing the campaign's protagonist duo. "But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive." Grand Theft Auto VI is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on November 19, 2026. A PC version has not been confirmed yet, though it's expected by many to land after the console release. When asked about this, the Take-Two CEO says it considers the core audience for the Grand Theft Auto franchise to be on consoles.
    • In rare occasions when you turn your computer on you will be greeted with a Secure Boot error followed by the message "No boot device found" If you go into the UEFI and disable Secure Boot the system boots up just fine. Below is a method I found online to fix the issue Disable Secure Boot and boot into Windows (If Bitlocker is enable you'll have to go to https://aka.ms/myrecoverykey on another device to find your bitlocker recovery key). Find a flash drive and make sure it's formatted Fat32 Create a folder on the flash drive called EFI and a subfolder inside EFI called BOOT On your computer navigate to C:\windows\boot\EFI Copy the file SecureBootRecovery.efi to your flash drive\EFI\BOOT Now reboot the computer and tell the computer to boot off that flash drive. You should see a black screen with some text telling you it has repaired Secure Boot Turn Secure Boot back on and reboot and your computer should boot normally.
