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...

Hi, I have an ASUS P8H61-M LX mobo that is giving me a lot of trouble. I wanted suggestions on a new mobo that would have an LGA-1155 socket. Thanks Rahul

This seems to be for gaming. Is this overkill for my requirements?

My 6 years old Intel DH67CL mobo with a i5-2500k processor and 2x4GB G-Skill NT DDR3 1333 Mhz died, can't be fixed. In general, I was happy with it. I'm happy with the rest of the spec. Have a new PSU (Corsair VS550), SSD, HDD, DVD-R, CM Elite 311 cabinet, Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, Webcam, etc...

It turned out to be an unstable issue. Finally I substituted monitors (DVI not working properly), and reset windows. So far so good. Thanks all.

Thanks GTA5. I didn't find a CP-xxxx number on the PSU. S/N is 11457106009002713779. I didn't realize you could repair mobo. Right now, the display goes off on HDMI and DVI, but it boots into windows otherwise. I'm going to try a system restore, and failing that, using a graphics card. I'll update.

Hi, I have a 6 years old Intel DH67CL mobo with a i5-2500k processor and 2x4GB G-Skill NT DDR3 1333 Mhz. In general, I'm happy with it. I've just had a series of transient problems. First the monitor wouldn't turn on. Then the replacement wouldn't go into BIOS or Windows, just stuck at the...

Thanks, I've gone for the graphics card. Will see the performance and then decide on the RAM.

In general, I realize the mobo / processor is getting dated, and the whole thing will need replacing in 2-3 years. So I'd keep the budgets low. I have Windows 10 pro 64-bit running already. 2GB is too little RAM. So I'd either double the ram, or simply go on to 8GB. 1066 MHz is fine. 4k would...

I have a Celeron G530 processor running on a ASUS P8H61-M LX . I have 2GB RAM (Kingston DDR3 1067 MHz). I have a SSD for Windows 10. My use is quite basic, internet, some minor graphics. Intel doesn't provide a Windows 10 display driver for this config (Intel HD Graphics 2000 on Sandy Bridge)...
