Thanks @omega44-xt. Does it support 2200G? Mfg website doesn't list it, but online people seem to have had success. *www.msi.com/Motherboard/B550M-A-PRO/support#cpu

I'm running a Ryzen 3 2200G on a Asus Prime A320M-K mobo with 2x Corsair 8GB DDR4-2400 UDIMM RAM. The rest of the system is OK: PSU (Corsair VS450), Samsung Evo SSD, HDD, cabinet, Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, Webcam, etc. Mobo has failed. Please suggest replacement. Thanks in advance. 1. What is...

Thanks @Desmond and @TheSloth . Going with Crucial P3.

Hi, I have a Lenovo IdeaPad S-340 with 256 GB SSD, and am running out of disk space. I was thinking of upgrading to a 500 GB SSD. I don't need more space, this is purely a work laptop. It has a PCIe 3.0 NVMe M.2 2280 SSD. Was looking for recommendations for the upgrade. Thanks very much in...

Thanks nac, will go with your recommendation.

Thanks omega44-xt. I have pretty basic needs, mostly office work, webinars, max some video editing. No gaming or overclocking. I have another computer with an Asus Prime A320M-K (which is also giving some trouble but under warranty). I'm wondering if I should get something similar for this...

I built an AMD computer with this ASRock mobo. The computer isn't turning on, have checked everything except the mobo and processor (Ryzen 3200G). Presuming the mobo is dead, wanted a recommendation for a new mobo. Mobo was purchased in May 2019, so is just over 3 years old, I think out of...

This is what is happening, restart after 30 seconds or so. ASRock replaced the motherboard. They said they tested the new one with a Ryzen 3 2200G, which is also the only AMD processor I have. I'm wondering if the RAM has failed. It is a Kingston HyperX Fury 16GB DDR4 3200MHz Memory...

Yes. I rarely push the CPU much so stock should be fine. Thanks a ton.

I have an existing ASRock x370 Pro4 + Ryzen 3 2200G + Kingston HyperX Fury 16GB DDR4. I've been having a weird issue where the PC doesn't reach POST, and it restarts after around 45 seconds. The motherboard has been replaced, same problem. I have a very old computer that needs replacing...

Thanks for this. It worked. At 100% CPU for 15 minutes, max temperature was 76. Idling is at 38-39. Stupid me. Here's what happened. Basically, the white tiny plastic legs of the stock cooler got misaligned & splayed, so it went down but didn't stay locked down. Today, I took the motherboard out...

I don't think it is the thermal paste. It is Arctic MX-4 2019 ed, and applied in single spot as recommended. Before I used this, it was thermal throttling around 25% utilization. Right now, the motherboard (GIGABYTE H61MS (ITE IT8620E)) is reporting temperature in the 40-45 C range, except for...

I have an intel i5-2500k with the stock cooler. It is a 2012 build. I just changed the thermal paste. Using HWInfo32, I've found that when I run an encoding job on Handbrake, the CPU starts heat throttling initially around 60% utilization (from Windows Task Manager), and over time drops to 50%...

I'm looking to replace these 3 components of my PC. Have a new cabinet, PSU, SSD, HDD, etc. Didn't have or need a graphics card. 1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? Ans: No games. Chrome takes up tons of CPU / RAM as I have zillions of...

Different problems show up at different times. Here's what happened the last time I tried booting it. 1. Didn't get to bios. Cleaned ram contacts, shifted to another slot. Need to shut power for a minute (otherwise will stay in this mode) 2. Didn't get to bios. Beeped one long and two short...
