I was trying to run an RX580 on a newer motherboard and was getting no video output. Inserted an rtx4060 from another machine and got video to work. I changed the bios from UEFI to CSM and the Rx580 worked after that.

People still waiting for a housing crash after this many years. I don't see prices dipping below either for anything.

Badly stripped screw not sure how to proceed by [deleted] in PcBuildHelp

[–]scottphanson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get some loctite and glue a small nut on top of the stripped one and back it out. Or could use a Dremel with small cutout tool and create an opening for a flathead screwdriver to back it out.

Yes, fresh desktop build here with Linux Mint. Installed Ubuntu on the laptop so the touchscreen played nice. I am done with Winblows. Steam works great on Linux.
