I finally took the plunge and installed Win11 Pro on my home PC. After a few days of smooth operation l was greeted with a "PIN is not available on this device" or something of that nature blocking me from being able to log into Windows.
I had to reinstall Windows/software and make sure l...
Skipping the high-end for a generation isn't all that bad. If my memory serves me correctly they did it with the Radeon 3850 and 3870. AMD needs to work on their RT performance and power efficiency with RDNA4 in order to have a great mid-range card.
Two sets of two DIMMS. I was running CPUz which lists the timing information of each channel. I put the new set on RAM in slots 2 & 4 which are recommended slots for running two modules in duel-channel configuration and l was getting errors in memtest64 with XMP on and also with running at stock...
I am using the latest BIOS 7C95v2J, which uses AGESA ComboAm4v2PI 1.2.0.B.
The new set of RAM fails in memtest64 even when running at stock 2133Mhz after a few minutes. Tried upping the memory voltage to 1.4 to no avail. The old set has no issues running memtest64+ using X.M.P.
Seems like l...
Last summer, I built a system for my friend's kid with the following specs:
Motherboard: MSI B550M RRO-VDH WIFI
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR4 3600 2x8GB
CPU: Ryzen 5700G
It has been working fine so far. I popped in another 2 sticks of RAM during the Xmas period and it booted fine the first...
The system seems capable for what she does but a faster processor like the 5700x would be a nice boost to overall system performance. What RAM does she have?
Since you are going for a 5600G, l would suggest getting a 3600MHz RAM kit instead of a 3200MHz one. 16GB should be enough for some general usage. You can always add more in the future if the need arises.
The title reads sub £200 upgrade but it seems you are going to be replacing platforms, too. Since you are coming from an 8core processor l wouldn't buy a six-core processor for a new gaming system. An eight-core like the 7700x would be a better choice.
Try inserting back the old GPU and installing the latest version of your BIOS first. Maybe it's a BIOS issue. You can also try disabling the onboard IGPU in the BIOS and see if the problem persists with the onboard GPU disabled.
I don't game but my home PC's 3900x feels faster than the 2700x system l am using at work. Hopefully, there will be some nice deals on 5800x/5900x on Black Friday.
