friend has a problem with his setup AMD FX board

Thank you for the detailed response. This is not a new build, its new behavior. So he is currently using an AIO liquid cooler(not sure which one), and took the side of his case off to get more air flowing because he believed that was the problem.

friend has a problem with his setup AMD FX board

Catastrophic Raid 1 M.2 Nvme failure. All lost.

Yeah i would suspect some kind of electrical damage, like others said psu specs would be nice. Full system specs and platforms you tried would also be helpful. Thank you, also as this point if you feel you have done your research, and due diligence, i would consider consulting a data recovery...

Solved! Which is best RAM for my Ryzen Build = SOLVED !

I have a ryzen build personally and have had good luck with Flare X and my research showed earlier versions of ryzen did play nice with Flare X but the newer models (or updated bios) should be stable with either one.

PC isn't working after adding fourth RAM stick, three are fine, Asrock Z68 Pro3 Gen3

This is very odd, i had to re-read this a few times it seems like you've done your due diligence, have you tired running memtest with those configs that will post? if so, i may speculate maybe trying a different/newer cpu, since from what i gather the memory controller is located on the cpu in...

Question SSD cloning software?

In my experience as others said macrium reflect free is great for cloning, all youll need is a sata to usb adapter(im assuming you have one) boot from the original drive and clone to the sdd on the adapter. As long as your ssd is big enough to hold all your data, just move the partitions in...

Question Do I need to upgrade Ram or CPU? (see screenshot)

That's a tough one, although the extra RAM will likely provide some improved performance it likely will only like useful during certain tasks or if you are a heavy(or heavier than average win 7) user, at the point you are at just take the money and invest in a new laptop(unless you are...

Question Installing Windows 10 From a partition (same hard drive)

I mean in theory, maybe, but why, at that point why not just run to the store buy a $5 flash drive and save yourself the headache, some times brain power is better spent else where.

Question Toshiba Satellite L650-1NU - turns off after 4-6 minutes

With these consistent symptoms generally in my experience, especially with all the due-diligence that you've done i would come down to the same conclusion i'd(if its a must fix for whatever reason) get a new board, from oem or some 3rd party, dont know if the cpu is soldered but if not and it...

Question Lenovo laptop broken

If It was me I'd try to restore the laptop to original condition, contact support and act stupid, and push for them to replace the board or to replace the product entirely(ideally). It just sounds like there's issues with this board(obviously) and that's the OEM's responsibility, you shouldn't...

Question Which of these Loptops?

i think if you arnt planning on gaming at all you are way better off looking for something with an 8th gen mobile i5 (still 4 core 8 thread) with an ssd(256gb ish, prolly gonna be 500gb for same price soon) for around $500 usd. For general use outside of gaming you would have way better user...

Question Lenovo Customer Support?

In my experience lenovo is on par with other oems, my only beef with them is if you do have to rma something to them they want you to pay to ship it to them. If i have to rma an HP or dell they over night a box with all the packing materials. But its been probably almost a year since ive had to...

Question Which of these Loptops?

I'd have to agree with the others, if youre planning on replacing the hdd for an ssd(and willing to spend the money on the ssd) then sure go with that one, but if the answer is no, go with the ssd, plus if youre just a normal user, that i7 is fine, its still a 2 core 4 thread.

Question Laptop or Surface?

careful as far as i know the 399.99 surface go uses eMMC storage which is not nearly as good as an ssd, i think the version thats like 500-550 (depending on sales at the time) uses a true ssd which is going to be more reliable in the long term. As far as use in bed, sure, you can choose between...

Question RAM speed for Ryzen 5 2600, no OC. Educate me, thanx...

Ryzen can be very picky about the ram you use. Everything I've read, and in my Ryzen build i personally use G.SKILL Flare X, seems to be the most agreeable ram overall for Ryzen, for the most part, but this is based solely on things I've read and my personal build. As far as dual channel setup...
