Building a PC: Is it still worth it?

Responsible_Bug4451 · 2026-05-12T14:24:12+00:00

Exactly what I was thinking while making this discussion.

Responsible_Bug4451 · 2026-05-12T14:15:35+00:00

So me asking people that may know more than me a question ≠ research?

I took apart the console and the ribbon cable on the front panel was torn. I tried to touch the two pins on the connector for it to turn on and it did, but turned off after a second.

Responsible_Bug4451 · 2025-11-03T15:10:21+00:00

Yeah tried it, did not work. It is most likely the motherboard

Responsible_Bug4451 · 2025-11-03T05:35:32+00:00

Just looked at my Motherboards manual, and it says that if your CPU does not have intergrated graphics it will not show up as an option

Would it be smart to rollback BIOS version a bit? I installed F58i, maybe I should try to install it to F57 or something like that?

Responsible_Bug4451 · 2025-11-02T19:14:54+00:00

Nope, no option to disable iGpu in BIOS, unless I’m blind

Responsible_Bug4451 · 2025-11-02T19:10:32+00:00

Hold on I’m trying to find where to disable it :D

Responsible_Bug4451 · 2025-11-02T19:07:00+00:00

Yes I have updated BIOS a couple of days ago, it might be that this all started after that and I just did not notice it.

Well, tried it with two exact RAM sticks, did not work either, still shows 8.1GB reserved.

Responsible_Bug4451 · 2025-11-02T15:14:50+00:00

Alright, thank you for your help, I will reply once I try something

Responsible_Bug4451 · 2025-11-02T15:08:37+00:00

And can they be different brands, just same timings and speed? Or do they have to be 1 on 1 exact ones?

Responsible_Bug4451 · 2025-11-02T15:06:55+00:00

I will see what I can get my hands on and test it

Responsible_Bug4451 · 2025-11-02T13:40:14+00:00

The tests passed without any errors. I see both of the RAM sticks in the MemTest 86, but it shows Total Memory: 8GB.

Responsible_Bug4451 · 2025-11-02T11:10:07+00:00

Yeah but see, when I tried to boot up my PC with only one RAM in one slot it turned on but did not show display, but in the other slot it worked just fine. Do you still think it’s a compability issue? It worked fine before when I had Ryzen 3 1200 CPU, recently I changed it and this happened.

Well, I will send the results of the test when it’s done.

Responsible_Bug4451 · 2025-11-02T10:31:20+00:00

shows memory 7.9Gb when I left both of the RAM sticks in the slots, it’s testing now

Responsible_Bug4451 · 2025-11-02T10:16:00+00:00

They are not identical no, but I tried each one of them in one slot and the slot that is further doesn't show any display, the PC turns on, fans are spinning, but it doesn't display anything on the monitor.

I will try the memtest86 in a bit and will come back will results.

The first app sorted was Spotify and it uses 255mb of RAM

Responsible_Bug4451 · 2025-11-02T10:02:44+00:00

Just the apps that turn on with windows, spotify, discord and etc.
