What happens if you boot without any RAM?
If i recall correctly, that sometimes gives you evidence as to whether the CPU + Motherboard is working or not. In my case there are different beepcodes.
It might depend a bit on the motherboard but my z370 board would just hang and stay powered on with a "no RAM" boot code. It runs through the codes in order and CPU checks are right at the top of the list so if it's powering off before it gets past them then it might not indicate a problem there.
Agree with Craton, kinda guessing but there could be a problem w/ PSU or a short somewhere. You could try running the system outside of the case. Good luck Teo! :x

My brother once plugged a fan power cord (from the PSU) into a fan header on the motherboard. It auto shutoff on startup, but I'm still surprised that didn't break anything.

Hello.
I just reinstalled Windows 10 onto a new-to-me SSD and I'm having some trouble getting drivers installed, namely the Realtek LAN Driver for my mobo (I have a Gigabyte GA-Z170 HD3P). I keep getting the below error whenever I try to install it.

Right now, I'm on a laptop since my PC won't connect to the internet (I'm downloading drivers onto USB, then plugging USB into PC and trying to install them). No idea what to do from here.

So it turns out Intel went full Intel, so the motherboard my friend got is compatible only with Coffee Lake and not Kaby Lake. /facepalms

Ah I forgot about this bullshit.
You know what's the worst? That the socket is the same and if modified BIOS you can run that CPU on that mobo perfectly fine, it's just Intel's greed at work.

You said that you had a coffee lake CPU though, i checked - was this incorrect? Was you looking to plug in a different CPU?
Intel i5-8600K CPU
Gigabyte Z370 HD3 motherboard
Yeah, Intel are terrible for that. They design their sockets/chipsets as an afterthought to the CPU itself and haven't been sufficiently punished for it yet.

Considering you're downloading the right drivers....
You may also try downloading on your laptop the Snappy Driver Installer - and download the LAN package. Then copy that to your PC and it should install the right driver. Normally I absolutely do not recommend any "driver installers", but I follow the development of SDI for few years now and even use it at work and it's quite nice tool.

I can't lie; that program looks sketchy as hell. Not to mention the reports of it being infected with adware.
Edit: Used SDI Origin and it worked. Just installed the ethernet driver. Thanks man! I appreciate your help.

Hello guys,
So I've recently purchased Starcraft: Remastered, and F5-ing into the HD version makes the game run at a meager 40-50 FPS, compared to the 200 in SD; which makes the game feel sluggish and not responsive at all.
I'm just wondering if this is a hardware limitation or perhaps just a matter of tweaking some settings / downloading the newest drivers. My machine is a Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3225 CPU @ 3.30GHz with 8 GB of RAM, running a x64 Windows 7. The GPU is as follows:
Display adapter type Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000
Total available graphics memory 1696 MB
Dedicated graphics memory 64 MB
Dedicated system memory 0 MB
Shared system memory 1632 MB
Display adapter driver version 10.18.10.3345
Primary monitor resolution 1280x1024
DirectX version DirectX 10
Thanks in advance!

All internet browser are ignoring my mouse wheel when it scrolled a bit. mouse wheel is fine at everything else.
edit: scrollbars of all internet browser are "damaged" ?. Twitch uses own scrollbar and works perfectly.

my bios screen shows cpu temp ~~50-55 celsius degrees but when I log into windows Core Temp shows 30~35 idle. Is this a normal situation or one of them is wrong?

IIRC often cpu power stuff doesn't work in the bios so it's idling at full clocks and volts with some minor load but in the OS it can drop clocks&volts
with temps like that you should check full load temperatures
|
my full load temperature (converting a video with handbrake) is 100C :O
there must be something wrong even though im using stock cooler, stock clock i7 4790k
|
It's probably not attached properly. The stock cooler pushpins require a good amount of force to get in, you can check the reverse of the motherboard to make sure all the pins are completely through.
That said, the stock cooler is garbage and will still likely overheat under heavy load. There are lots of good cheap aftermarket ones, I like the Pure Rock Slim or Hyper 212 for no / light OC.
|
It is attached properly I can see all 4 pins coming out at the back. Although I wiggled it a bit while installing so thermal paste distribution may not be good.
I'm getting 25C on idle (ambient is 21C), 80ish with a simple stress test app (StressMyPc) and 90+ with handbrake. Mobo is out in the open.
Should I repaste it?

Can do but check the settings as well. Many motherboards these days run out of the box overclocks with "features" like "multi-core enhancement" that lock the CPU at the top single core turbo bin for all cores and massively overvolt it. You should be seeing 4.2ghz under x264 encoding with vcore around 1.15v IIRC but it could quite possibly actually be 4.4ghz @ 1.42v.
My last two mobo+cpu's have tried to use settings by default that sane OCers wouldn't even approach without high end cooling and/or a delid, they were both hotter out of the box than they ended up being on my max overclock because of the amount of vcore that the mobo told them to use. It's basically just review cheating (and you should dismiss any review that doesn't go into the bios to disable that stuff), not consumer friendly at all

Random question, what is a reasonable anti-malware/virus thing? there seems to be a million of them and I have no idea which will also infact produce malware/bloatware on my pc.
For the record I think there is some malware on my PC that turns myscreen black and locks it and tells me m windows 7 is not genuine (wheras it is). I have to run everything in safe mode (which is also slow af appearently)
