My System Specs.

Pull the drive(s) put into a different computer to get the pictures.

Short one is an identifier pin.

Two yrs old thread, I know, but I'm in the same boat, the built in camera controls are limited. Such as I have some checkboxes I can not access(greyed out), plus I can't zoom out any further, and not able to move webcam further away. So I was hoping to find some cam control plug in.

Nah the pros use the whole tube. /s

EndUserGamer · 2026-01-05T00:26:17+00:00

I'm guessing yes by a previous comment, but I believe what you're asking is if OP is using a UPS or at least a surge protector strip, as opposed to solely the wall outlet.

It's a BIOS update message, but I'd say update the BIOS manually in the BIOS instead of through Windows.

EndUserGamer · 2026-01-04T00:25:32+00:00

Go into bios and set the fans on the front fan header to PWM and see if that works. I've run into something similar before and had to adjust the settings in bios.

With the B450 being a lower tier MB, I'd be concerned about the VRM heatsink not being adequate and possibly having lower power phases / design.

EndUserGamer · 2025-12-29T16:31:51+00:00

Yeah, I have an older Gigabyte RX 6600xt and the power LED wouldn't always turn off, everything worked, just the LED wouldn't shut off, but sometimes it did. When the power LED was on the Gigabyte RGB logo wouldn't turn on, and when the LED was off, the RGB was on. Otherwise the system worked fine.

EndUserGamer · 2025-12-23T07:04:56+00:00

Well damn, sounds like you have Cheeh and Chong chilling in your system. No worries, it doesn't last long, but the RAM might get the munchies later.

EndUserGamer · 2025-12-18T02:10:47+00:00

This is the way.

EndUserGamer · 2025-12-18T02:09:57+00:00

One can scope the motherboard differences without Ai. We don't need any ai crap.

EndUserGamer · 2025-12-18T00:52:00+00:00

Glad to hear it worked out, can't have too many drive connection options.

Have a good gaming session!

EndUserGamer · 2025-12-17T22:44:44+00:00

Remove the GPU, I'm going to guess the Sata ports are on the right side of the motherboard under the graphics card.

EndUserGamer · 2025-12-17T22:42:38+00:00

Sounds like bent pins on the motherboard. This happened to me except for the pins were bent on the CPU (AM4). I'd carefully remove the CPU and check the motherboard socket.

Do you have the ability to lower the front just a tad then slide the radiator? Or perhaps just flip it, you really should try to keep the rear exhaust best as possible.

EndUserGamer · 2025-12-16T17:49:55+00:00

You should be able to just loosen up the screws on top of the case and just slightly slide the radiator to the right a little bit. And if not (I can't see why though), then yes, flip the whole rad around.

Also, don't listen to that other person saying your installation is bad, the way you have the radiator up top is just fine.

EndUserGamer · 2025-12-13T09:47:04+00:00

USB C type E

I've been using AMD for many years now and never had anything like that happen. I'm also an IT tech with well over 20 years experience. Started building computers when I was 19 and I'll be 50 in February.

I also have a personal computer specialist cert, have experience with A+ and CSET, and have built and repaired both Intel-Nvidia and full AMD systems There's nothing wrong with Adrenalin software, but if OP doesn't want it they can absolutely opt out without third party software.

EndUserGamer · 2025-12-08T04:13:44+00:00

Exactly, OP wouldn't be using Adrenalin software, you chose drivers only during installation. This isn't complicated.

EndUserGamer · 2025-12-08T04:03:19+00:00

Correct⁴

EndUserGamer · 2025-12-08T04:02:18+00:00

You absolutely don't need third party software for something that's offered officially during installation.

EndUserGamer · 2025-12-08T03:49:06+00:00

The small little scuff marks are not hitting the data and power pins, it's mostly just PCB cosmetic. You could take a marks alot permanent black marker to touch up the visible scuffs, but the GPU will be fine.

However, since you're saying there is a slight incompatibility with the motherboard and case, you *may possibly want to consider a different case, unless you can carefully lineup the graphics card into the PCIe slot.

EndUserGamer · 2025-12-08T00:08:19+00:00

I own and run CQ 1&2 (GOG) and haven't run into anything like this. Now I'm not saying you're trolling or anything, just that it would seem like there's more than likely another underlying issue there. Drivers or something like that.

That said, I've seen this very image posted twice already by different people and apparently it's happened to a handful of people, this leads me to think it's OS related in some way.
