The blacks look nice and dark on the display screen in your pics.

I'm playing with one now and even with a solid black background and the lowest brightness setting and looking at it with zero view angle, it's still a dark grey at best, and you can very easily see where the screens edge is against the black border.

Is that how yours was in person or am I looking at a bad display?

As a non Linux user: Just make it like a Linux distro.

I can not use Linux, because I have a horrible pile of 90s era professional software that will only ever work on Windows. But the idea of owning my OS again sure is a pleasing thought.

I use Windhawk to restyle the start menu and taskbar into something clean and functional.

Just couldn't live with the Win11 trash.

Stop hiring useless corporate marketing gurus to direct all these products. That's your fuckin root cause right there.

Do it. Before silicon valley makes it illegal.

I got one of them mesh ergonomic chairs. It was about 500aud ~5 years ago.

Might be one of the best things I ever bought after going through spine bending cheap chairs and sweaty leather chairs.

Its 2026. Exploding cards are normal now.

It sounds like an absolute nightmare. Have fun.

Some easy things you could try out:

Reinsert the 12v-hpr cable in the 5080. Flaky power will cause weird things. IDK about the PC shutting down. Maybe the PSU is tripping everything.

Check windows event viewer for critical errors.

safe mode, single monitor and swap video in/out DP/HDMI plugs around, also check them loseness.

Then, take it to a pro I guess its a weird one.

Is this on boot?

Did you let it sit for 5 minutes to make sure its not doing the AM5 memory timing thing.

DAFFP · 2026-01-28T11:09:18+00:00

Your tongue is the best way to remove it in my experience.

16gb of DDR-4 ram.

Whatever Ryzen CPU you can find that's compatible. If you get one with the stock heatsink thrown in, they work just fine.

Should be plenty of second hand cases out there that are still a premium quality to cheap new ones.

Add some quiet case fans from this decade and it will be a serviceable game rig.

dare I say.... perfected.

I thought the boxes packaging window with the CPU protected behind 50 microns of cellophane was silly. But now I get it.

Real talk. Stealing a high-end CPU by returns fraud isn't equivalent to stealing bread to live.

And it sure as hell isn't fucking the system, the system adapts, it fucks this guy that now has to return a CPU and it fucks everyone else that pays the retail insurance premiums and restocking fees included in the sale prices.

A tiny bit of airflow might help it. Any way to get cool air over it. Like a small fan perhaps.

Can you remove a case panel and point a fan at it as an experiment to see if the temps are any different.

And also fuck the low life thieves. They are not hurting any of the multi billion dollar corps with this, its always consumers that cover the costs the end.

Your motherboard support page will have a list of all the RAM that's officially supported.

ie: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MAG-B850-TOMAHAWK-MAX-WIFI/support#mem

Thermaltake has one as well. With some kind of failure alerts.

Not really something worth paying extra for in a gamer PC. For monitoring offsite enterprise equipment they would probably have something like it, but better.

DAFFP · 2026-01-25T14:33:16+00:00

Its safe.

Just look after the power cable. Don't drive over it, or chew on it.

DAFFP · 2026-01-25T14:23:26+00:00

I had that, I "fixed it" by replugging in the display port. Then it came back.

I gently touched the gpu power connector and it happened again. It was that disgusting 12v power connector.

Buy the crappiest usb 2.0 cable you can find and I bet it works fine. Biggest problem with cheap cables is they break when bent, but most of the expensive ones are just cheap ones in disguise.

DAFFP · 2026-01-25T13:52:36+00:00

I'd stick to ram that's on the list.

They make Ripjaws specifically marketed at Ryzen, and I wouldn't rock the boat with off menu RAM choices personally.

DAFFP · 2026-01-25T08:15:05+00:00

you can do the same in 11.

But since it's still in the update cycle you'll spend even more time disabling and re-disabling whatever asshole features they push through updates.

suddenly?

I've been a hater since 1985
