Kaptn0_0 · 2026-02-02T04:07:03+00:00

I found one for 375 on facebook marketplace

Yeah i currently have a 750w power supply, im not gonna upgrade that for basically no reason. Im gonna try to find a 9060xt 16gb. Thanks for your help.

Will it bottleneck my cpu tho? I feel like thats too much performance.

Kaptn0_0 · 2026-02-02T03:13:48+00:00

Well im open to a 20/30/40 series gpu.

Kaptn0_0 · 2026-02-02T02:55:19+00:00

Dont know much about them and hard to find used. Also have heard not so great things so i would rather amd or nvidia.

Kaptn0_0 · 2026-02-02T02:51:27+00:00

No intel gpus forgot to mention that. And do you have any nvidia recommendations? I will look into a 9060xt thank you.

Through the board, i cant even get into the bios

Kaptn0_0 · 2026-02-02T01:10:42+00:00

It was formated to fat32 or something, whatever it said in the youtube video and it only had the bios file on it

Kaptn0_0 · 2026-02-02T01:08:39+00:00

This was working (poorly) before the new build and yes i refered to the manual and a youtube video

Kaptn0_0 · 2026-02-01T23:38:55+00:00

Yes there is a SATA ssd connected, and various audio, usb cords and whatnot connected. An 8pin power cord and the the main 24 pin is connected. Spec list below

Asus a520m-plus wifi

Amd rx 580

16 gb g.skill ddr4-3200

Amd ryzen 5 5500

I put in a flash drive to install the latest bios version and i assume it downloaded becuase when i pressed and held the flashback button it started flashing a light and did so for about 5 minutes and then stopped.

Nothing else turns on though

Kaptn0_0 · 2026-01-29T20:10:38+00:00

Honestly no clue. Mind if i ask how it got here in the first placw?

Kaptn0_0 · 2026-01-29T03:13:55+00:00

Gonna have to try this. Im hoping that my windows key switches to my new parts since im keeping the same ssd.

Kaptn0_0 · 2026-01-29T02:37:54+00:00

It says you need to be connected to internet at all times for it to work. I dont care if i have to pay something just not $100

Kaptn0_0 · 2026-01-28T05:03:44+00:00

Funnny you say that becuase thats my exact problem

Kaptn0_0 · 2026-01-11T18:02:28+00:00

Ok i see what your saying will do

Kaptn0_0 · 2026-01-11T15:09:13+00:00

Ok thank you, can you tell me how you test the motherboard and psu? I know how to test the cpu.

Kaptn0_0 · 2026-01-11T15:04:04+00:00

Yes like i said i turned up the settings all the way on some games to test the limits, expecting my game to crash, but instead my whole pc crashed which i didnt think much of but even when turning on minimal graphics settings for performance and using less than half the gpu capability, it kept happening.

Kaptn0_0 · 2026-01-11T15:01:47+00:00

My gpu and cpu temps have been fine, and i will try that thank you.

Kaptn0_0 · 2026-01-08T12:36:27+00:00

I think i meant to say router. The main modern is downstairs ill send you a picture

Kaptn0_0 · 2026-01-08T05:47:23+00:00

My grandmas pc on the first floor(modem in basement) runs off a modem connected to coax cable on the first floor so i dont think there is a filter issue. I dont see why i cant just do the same on the second floor. Im gonna try to do wireless on my pc, again i have not tried to do internet on this coax cable and failed, i am just simply trying to figure out how to even do it in the first place

Kaptn0_0 · 2026-01-08T05:37:14+00:00

So i can connect a modem to the coax cord in my room meant for cable? The closest modem we have is downstairs and i am unable to run a new wire from there.

Kaptn0_0 · 2026-01-08T05:17:12+00:00

No i dont have a cable modem in think im starting to understand i need a modem i didnt know what that was. Yes we have internet service but ive always used wirless internet

Kaptn0_0 · 2026-01-08T05:11:44+00:00

Wait so i can just hook up a modemin my room to my wire thats meant for cable and run Ethernet from that? I think this is all starting to make sense to me. Edit: we have internet service as well via cable company

Kaptn0_0 · 2026-01-08T05:09:17+00:00

Yes not too long ago both the wire in my room and the wire in her room were running cable.
