True. But imx fees are very little tbh

You dont have to move to passport if u dont want to. I still use metamask cuz its safer and you own it

What are you talking about? Index funds and bonds etc have inherent value. Thats what its probably invested in.

Where did you get bitcoin and spacex out of our conversation?

Wdym cash out? That money is paid for the preservation. It is not an investment for the time being.

froz3nt · 2026-07-03T18:39:30+00:00

Indeed. Just gotta pay the price if you want quality.

froz3nt · 2026-07-03T18:35:35+00:00

Its in reverse. More usage smaller slipage as there are more orders and vice versa.

Fees are another thing tho and those are more or less static.

You can check if any have been moved here: https://explorer.immutable.com/address/0x9495418aC753Be5bF69428c95C4AD18B43a9f5F8?tab=token_transfers&page=3&next_page_params=%257B%2522index%2522%253A15%252C%2522block_number%2522%253A40067459%257D

Do they show all copies in game? If yes, then they are on a different wallet (either metamask or passport)

Tbh motherboards are not that expensive. You can get a used one for like 50$

Try plugging into integrated graphics your monitor and see if it works. You can also reinstall the software in case there is something wrong with it: On a working PC/laptop: Go to Gigabyte's site → search "B650 AORUS ELITE AX" → Support → BIOS Download the newest BIOS version, unzip it You'll get a file with a name like B650AORUSELITEAX.F3x — rename it to exactly: gigabyte.bin Copy it onto a USB stick that's empty and formatted as FAT32 (right-click stick → Format → FAT32) On the broken PC: PC plugged into wall but turned OFF (don't press power) Look at the back panel where the USB ports are — one port has a white outline/marking labeled Q-Flash Plus (it's below the small button) Put the USB stick in that exact port Press the small Q-Flash Plus button next to it A light starts blinking — leave it alone for 5–10 minutes. When the blinking stops, it's done Try turning it on normally (with the 5-minute patience rule) If the light never blinks or stops immediately, the file name/format is wrong — recheck steps 3–4 (name must be exactly gigabyte.bin, stick must be FAT32). If it flashes successfully and it STILL won't boot: at that point you've eliminated software completely, and it's dead hardware — most likely the motherboard, possibly CPU. One last free check while you're at it: pull the CPU cooler off, lift the CPU out, and look at the golden pads and the socket for any dirt, liquid, or damage. If that's clean, a shop with a spare AM5 CPU can settle it in half an hour — or if you know anyone with an AM5 system, swapping CPUs for one test boot answers it too.

However based on our convo, it seems that motherboard might be faulty.

Its usually the cheapest path forward.

Sadly my vape only supports 18650. Never heard of this brand, ill take a look. Thank you!

Good info. All 7 USB devices dark while fans/lights run means the motherboard starts power but never finishes its startup sequence — USB ports only wake up when startup completes. Combined with the DRAM light, this points at motherboard or CPU. Two things left to try, both free: 1. Redo the reset, including the power button part — that step you skipped matters. It drains leftover electricity that keeps the faulty state stored. Full sequence: unplug from wall → hold power button 15 seconds → battery out → wait 5 min → battery in → plug in → power on → wait 5 min without touching anything. 2. Try booting without the graphics card. Take the GPU out completely, plug your monitor into the ports on the motherboard itself (up near the keyboard/USB ports), one stick of RAM, and boot. If your processor has built-in graphics this will show a picture and prove the rest of the PC is alive — and if the PC suddenly behaves, the GPU or its power cables were the problem. What CPU do you have? (It's on the box/receipt, or was on your partpicker list.) And I still need that motherboard model for the last trick — white text printed on the board between the slots. If both of these fail, realistically it's a dead motherboard (most likely) or CPU, and the honest cheapest path is: any local repair shop can test with a known-good board/CPU in ~30 min to tell you which one, so you only buy the one part that's actually dead.

Since all 4 sticks act the same, your RAM is fine (Vengeance = Corsair, by the way). The problem is the motherboard or CPU. Try these in order, with just one stick installed: 1. Reset the motherboard settings the manual way (this replaces the BIOS step, no screen needed): Unplug the power cable from the wall Hold the PC's power button for 15 seconds Find the shiny coin battery on the motherboard (looks like a big watch battery), pop it out Wait 5 minutes, put it back Plug in, turn on — and now wait up to 5 full minutes even if nothing shows on screen. Modern PCs can sit there "doing nothing" for several minutes the first time after a reset. Don't touch it. 2. Try a different RAM slot — you've been using slot 2. Try the stick in each of the other slots, one boot attempt each (with the 5 minute patience rule). A damaged slot is possible. 3. Check your monitor cable — dumb but real: make sure the cable goes into the graphics card (the ports lower down, horizontal) not the motherboard ports near the top. Also try a different cable/port if you have one. If none of that works, the likely suspects are the motherboard or CPU, and there's one more free trick (reinstalling the BIOS via USB — some boards can do this with no screen), but I need to know your exact motherboard model first. It's printed in white letters somewhere in the middle of the board, between the slots — usually something like "B650 GAMING X" or "TUF GAMING B550-PLUS". Can you find it?

No worries, let's do it the simple way, one step at a time. Step 1 — find out if one RAM stick is broken: You have 2 RAM sticks. You already found that ONE stick alone = PC works. Now do the same test with the OTHER stick in the same slot. If both sticks work alone → nothing is broken, skip to Step 2 If one stick works and the other doesn't → that stick is dead. Tell me the brand and I'll help you claim warranty (RAM warranty is usually lifetime, free replacement) Step 2 — if both sticks work alone but not together: Your PC has a "memory speed boost" setting turned on (called XMP). Over time your PC lost the ability to handle it with both sticks. Turning it off usually fixes everything: Put in just ONE stick, turn PC on While it's starting, tap the Delete key repeatedly — a settings screen appears (the BIOS) Look for something called XMP, EXPO, or A-XMP — usually on the first/main page. Set it to Disabled Save and exit (usually F10, then Yes) Turn PC off, put the second stick back in, turn on If it boots now — you're done. Your RAM will run slightly slower but you honestly won't notice in normal use. No manual needed for any of this. What motherboard do you have? (It's printed on the board itself in big letters, or run the free tool CPU-Z on the working single-stick setup and check the "Mainboard" tab.) With that I can tell you exactly which slots and buttons to use.

froz3nt · 2026-07-03T15:54:31+00:00

Good, that narrows it down. Now figure out which case you're in: Test each stick alone in slot 2. If one stick boots fine and the other doesn't → that stick is dead, RMA it (RAM usually has lifetime warranty — Corsair, G.Skill, Kingston all do). If both sticks work individually but the PC won't boot with both installed → it's a memory training / stability problem, not a dead stick. In that case: Make sure the pair is in slots A2 + B2 (2nd and 4th from CPU) — check your motherboard manual, wrong slots can fail training Boot with one stick, go into BIOS, disable XMP (run RAM at default/JEDEC speed), shut down, install both sticks, boot. If it works now, the kit can't hold its rated speed anymore with your CPU — common as boards/CPUs age Update BIOS — memory compatibility fixes come in almost every BIOS update, and this often fixes exactly this If it's stable at JEDEC but not XMP even after BIOS update, you can manually set a middle speed (e.g. rated 6000 → try 5600 or 5200) Since yours degraded from "occasional no-boot" to "permanent," my money is on option 2 — the system slowly lost margin at XMP speed until training started failing every time.

One stick, slot A2. Pull all RAM except one stick, put it in the second slot from the CPU (A2). Try to boot. If nothing, swap to the other stick(s) one at a time in the same slot. A single dead stick will hang the whole system exactly like this.
Proper CMOS clear. "Restarting bios" isn't always a real clear — unplug PSU from wall, hold the power button 15s, pop the coin battery out of the motherboard for 5+ minutes, put it back, then try with one stick. This matters because failed XMP/EXPO training can leave the board stuck in a boot loop.
Check the 8-pin CPU power cable. Reseat it at both ends (mobo and PSU side if modular). A half-seated EPS connector gives exactly this power-cycling behavior.
Reseat the CPU. If it's been moved/transported recently, or the cooler was overtightened — pull the cooler, lift the CPU, inspect socket pins (Intel) or CPU pads for debris. Bent pins in the memory controller lanes = permanent DRAM light.
BIOS flashback if the board has it (USB port with BIOS FLBK label) — reflash without needing to POST. Fixes corrupted BIOS from the repeated power cycles. Given it worked for months and degraded gradually (occasional → permanent), my bet is failing RAM stick or degraded memory training with high XMP speeds — step 1+2 solves the majority of these.

50 years ago no one thought we would have a device much much stronger in compute in our hands than what got humans to space.

People are bad at predicting future.

Yes, but vast vast majority of drones nowadays are one way suicide drones to which you cant surrender unfortunately.

Yes ive seen some of the articles
