Everytime I shutdown and unplug the PC, my BIOS resets even with updated bios and new CMOS.
Motherboard: Gigabyte B450M S2H V2

[POST RMA UPDATE, ORIGINAL POST IS BELOW]
PC #2:
Computer Type: Desktop
GPU: XFX SWFT 319 Radeon RX 6800
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X
CPU Cooler: Deepcool AG400
Motherboard: MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX
RAM: TEAMGROUP T-Force Vulcan 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18
PSU: Deepcool PM750D 750 W
Storage: WD Blue SN570 500 GB PCIe 3.0 X4 SSD
Operating System & Version: WINDOWS 10
Description of Original Problem: Still desperate for help on this issue. Contacted XFX support, and RMA’d the GPU a few weeks ago. Continued to have these consistent hourly-ish crashes in RDR 2, the Finals, and also in the Cinebench GPU test, which has been the only consistent way to force it to crash that I’ve found (although I've heard of other people having issues with Cinebench, not sure if this is a reliable metric) . Other benchmarks like 3DMark Time Spy run perfectly normally, and have yet to cause a crash. As I mentioned in my previous post, these crashes seemingly uninstall the graphics drivers, and require a restart before they come back. After having these crashes with a second card, I was convinced it must be something else in the PC, and got a friend to bring over his spare PC to test the RMA’d 6800 in, and I have listed those specs above. I swapped the GPU in, and the problem followed the card.
Troubleshooting: [IN ADDITION TO BELOW]

• GPU in entirely different PC, specs above.
• Tried different outlets across the house, monitored power draw with power meter.

At this point I am truly lost. I highly doubt both the original and RMA card are faulty, but I have also swapped out all the components, and continue to have the issue. Now looking at factors external to the actual computer that have remained the same, but still haven’t had any luck.
Once again, any and all guidance is appreciated. I have no idea what to do at this point.

Operating System & Version: WINDOWS 11
GPU Drivers: MULTIPLE VERSIONS FROM 2022 TO 2024
Chipset Drivers: MULTIPLE VERSIONS
Background Applications: DISCORD
Description of Original Problem: While playing a variety of games two monitors often lose all display and this cannot be regained unless I restart the PC or plug a monitor into the motherboard. After the black screen, when I plug the monitor into the motherboard I check task manager and the GPU is no longer there, and only the iGPU remains. The severity of the issue has varied, with some cases the issue being the PC seemingly uninstalling its own GPU drivers which required a full uninstall with DDU and reinstall before anything can be displayed from the GPU’s DP/HDMI ports. Other instances have just required a full restart before the PC returns to normal. Some cases have also included system fans ramping up when the GPU quits, however this is not always the case. The system was built two months ago, and when running normally, all indicators are stable, with 3DMark returning scores higher than average and temps remaining low. Unfortunately, the issue is inconsistent and only occurs once every 8 or so hours of use, so determining the cause is difficult. There is also no indication of a crash before it happens that I have found, as clock speeds, frequencies, FPS, temps, etc. all seem stable before it dies, although it is hard to know exactly as it happens completely out of the blue. The only other issue of note was some stuttering in Battlefield V that I believe is unrelated and was fixed by editing the DXNAVI registry.
Troubleshooting: So far this is what I have tried to little effect:
Multiple complete uninstall and reinstalls of GPU drivers via DDU, ranging from Adrenalin 22.5.1 to 24.2.1
Reseat GPU multiple times, while checking both 8-pin connectors are fully plugged in (not daisy-chained connectors either)
Multiple BIOS updates as the issue continued on each version
Multiple Chipset driver versions as the issue continued on each version
XMP on/off, SAM on/off
Changes to many Windows settings including power plans, game mode on/off, etc.
Changes to many GPU driver settings like setting minimum frequency, increasing power limits (+15%), 100% fan speed at all times, etc.
Radeon Boost and Enhanced Sync on/off
I am contemplating reinstalling Windows, but before this, I will likely swap my 6800 for a friend’s 6750 XT and see if he or I have any issues and if we can find any conclusions from that. Looking for any further help before I try those other two options.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks! :)
UPDATE:
Ended up swapping the 6800 for a friend's 6750 XT to see if the issue followed the card, which has left me even more puzzled than before. He wasn't having any issues playing Battlefield V or Rust (the two games which caused the most frequent crashes for me) until we played Helldivers 2, and at that point he couldn't play for more than 5 minutes without a black screen and needing to restart. So after that happened 3-4 times we tried disabling updates through the Group Policy Editor using the hardware IDs with no results, confirmed multiple times. Then we swapped the GPUs back around, and now back on my PC I've yet to have a single crash on Helldivers 2. Not too sure what to make of all of this, and will likely RMA the card on Monday.

Hello, I am a freshman majoring in biochemistry and I recently had THE worst day ever. I literally feel so hopeless and that I won't ever be a PA. Going into college I had no idea what I wanted to do until I came across the PA occupation, and it felt like just the right fit even though I learned about it about a year ago. And because it had now become my goal in life, I have been working as hard as possible in my classes do get into my desired PA program. The only issue is, I feel like (I have been made to feel like) I have the lowest chance of getting into my dream program. I fucked up my 1st semester gpa apparently according to my advisors (i.e. I got a C+ in advanced gen chem 1, B- in a 300 course that they adviced I should take w/o warning me how challenging it would be, dropped out of advanced gen chem 1 lab, and earned all As for my other courses - I also commuting for 16 hrs/week and working at McDonald's which drained all my energy and motivation) and in their eyes I'm doing awful this semester as well (I expect to have a C in calc 1 and an A- in engl101 scholars program and gen bio, I also expect to earn all As for my other courses). I don't think I'm doing bad necessarily, my performance is not nearly as good compared to my hs grades/gpa but I consider myself to be doing well considering that my family moved houses the same week I had midterms for calc + bsci, I am a commuter who commutes roughly 11-12 hrs per week, works/worked a fast food restaurant job for 12-16 hrs per week, I didn't have much energy bcs of Ramadan and starving all day, and my relative passed away earlier this semester. Even though most students I know haven't experienced the events I listed (and they don't work or commute) I am roughly doing the same as them in terms of my academics (I expect to have a 3.26 gpa for my 1st year). But, after advising sessions with my counselors/advisors I feel like I won't be able to become a PA, that I am sincerely behind and my life is actually ruined. I know I'm being dramatic but I'm honestly doing the best I can (I go to office hrs and keep my profs updated). I wish I had more support and someone to tell me that it's going to be okay for me or that even they had a success story, idk. I have planned to get 2500+ PCE hrs, 800 volunteer hrs, 75+ shadowing, get involved in research internships, become president of the PA club at my school, and become a TA for at least one of my science classes. But it is truly disheartening to hear MULTIPLE people tell me that I'm not doing well or I could/should be doing better, I feel so stupid. My other friends took the easier classes because their advisors actually helped them make informed decisions so now they have 3.8+ gpas while I'm stuck with my stupid 3.26. I have calculated that if I get an average of 3.7+ gpa for the next 6 semesters I can get my gpa to a 3.76 gpa bcs I won't have any other math classes other than stats (math has always been my most difficult subject, I don't know why I don't understand it) so I should do better but please, if anyone has any stories or tips or just words of encouragement, it would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know anything but I like my computer and it's a custom build that I bought used. My PC is like 9 years old. I think I need to upgrade my CPU? Not sure. It's getting slow and I can't update windows. Right now I have an Intel core i7-5930k. I'm trying to look into upgrades, but I have no idea what I'm doing. Can I upgrade this alone, or would I need to upgrade something along with it?
I have no idea what I'm doing. I've replaced easier things like graphics cards, but nothing too complicated.
Motherboard- MSI X99S plus GPU- GeForce GTX 980 WindForce
Not sure what other parts I've got...

I’m on the midst of a disheartening and extremely frustrating battle with brilliant earth. Please please please do not give them your business and trust, just save yourself the heartache.
My finance and I decided to check them out after seeing all the online adds. I loved their unique setting and we picked out a ring together in April of ‘23 (rose gold cometta perfect fit with 1.2 lab diamond). The in store appointment was an overall good experience. He proposed July 1 and the ring was gorgeous! I absolutely loved it.
Fast forward to early April of 2024. I’m sitting at work and notice the center diamond is extremely loose to the point to can wiggle it around with my fingers. I immediately took it off upon getting home and contacted the company through which we had a 3 year warranty. My wedding date is June 1, so prior to sending it off to be repaired I wanted to speak to someone at brilliant earth about when it would be returned and also why it was broken already. I wanted to know what we could do to make it sturdier so this would not happen again. It’s important to note I have a desk job and am extremely careful with my ring. I take it off to shower, clean and even sleep.
I spoke to 3 different people in customer service before finally getting an appointment with a women in the customization department. I had thought about adding platinum prongs or even extra prongs to make it sturdier. This women told me it’s “standard to have the ring inspected every 6-18 months” to ensure the product is sturdy and basically said it was my fault for not having this done at the 6 month mark because I have rose gold setting. No one told us this upon purchasing the ring. I inquired about new prongs, and she told me they would need to create an entirely new setting and that my small accent diamonds would not be able to be used and that they would get “recycled.” They then proceeded to tell me that a custom job would start at $2,000, and the best discount they would offer me is 50% of the original setting (roughly $600). This was unacceptable to us. I asked to speak to a manager and they told me I would have to send in the ring first and it would need to be inspected. I was told It would be inspected and that a manager would reach out to me within 1 week.
I ship out the ring later that day (Saturday). I call customer service the following Friday and there is no update but I am assured the manger will reach out once it’s inspected.
Tuesday rolls around and still nothing. I call customer service again and am put on hold for over 15 minutes while the women reviews my case. She comes back and tells me the next step is to talk to customs. I inform her I’ve already done this and am waiting to speak to a manager. She laughs at me and tells me there is nothing a manager can/will do and that since I “refused all the options that customizations gave me” we are at a standstill until I accept one of the options. She tells me it will take several days- a week for the manager to contact me.
I start to get very upset/ frustrated at this point and begin crying, telling her that my wedding day is approaching and that there is clearly a disconnect happening within the company and their lack of communication. After crying and venting on the phone to this lady, she tells me that a manager will call me back within 24 hours.
Nothing seems to be getting resolved. No one calls when they say they will. No one seems to care that I likely won’t have my engagement ring for my big day. The quality sucks and the customer service is absolutely horrendous. They don’t give about their customers or stand by their products. I plan to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau once this nightmare is all over.
My next step (hopefully) is to have the manager call me tomorrow. I’ll provide an update once I have one for those who have made it this far😅

My razer core x works perfectly on an Intel based laptop I’ve tested it on, however on my 2022 Flow13 THE GPU never reacts or is detected,
the enclosure will light up in the right updated port, but nothing else, in the left port nothing at ALL happens.
Could it be that I installed the bios update inadequately somehow?
I brought it to a shop and they insist it is because this laptop either is lacking the GPU support from an Intel CPU or TB3 capabilities and that USB4 isn’t enough in this case?
Are either possible?

I was a Hearthstone addict. I'm not now.
In reflection, I offer some notes on my tenure with Hearthstone.
I'm mid-50s now, educated (postdoc), professional, fairly demanding job, fairly demanding long-term partner. Never really evidenced any real overt addiction in my life, other than being terminally online back in the 90s when being online was quite tricky, to usenet and to reaching Farmville level 80 back in the day, and spending a fortune on coffee. (it's decaf Nespresso these days.) Alcohol and drugs were never for me; I don't understand the attraction, dislike the taste.
I began playing Hearthstone just after its release, using an iPad 2. The Hearthstone client outgrew that, and the animations would bring the tablet to a halt. I eventually moved to an iPad 4, where the same thing happened again. And as the years passed I bought an iPad Air 3. I'd play on an iPhone on commute, but that was not that enjoyable an experience; the iPhone 5s screen is cramped. As my eyesight slowly deteriorated to need reading glasses, the screen became far too small. The contrast between card text and background could be higher, and a font could be chosen that is more legible. The game doesn't do much for accessibility. (Red numbers on a red blooddrop? Seriously?)
I liked Hearthstone as a tactile card game; playing it with a mouse just wasn't the same, and even touch-screen Windows just didn't feel right. So I never played with helper apps, I never played on a desktop PC, and I often played casually, silently, on the iPad, while doing other things like watching tv or reading, which limited my engagement. I was always a free-to-play player, I never paid, but oh, how I started to grind those daily and weekly quests.
I made Hearthstone friends just for challenge-a-friend quests. I once played an actual real-life friend on a different server new to me (and lost, because I had set up the account specially to play. "You need more cards" my friend said earnestly, not realising how rich in cards I was on my home server) . It dawned on me that there were three public servers around the world (excluding China, which had its own). And I could grind for gold and for card packs by doing quests on all of them. And that meant three Tavern brawl packs a week, too. Notifications were always off -- it's just a game demanding my attention, not a person -- but I knew what times to log in to get new tasks and even how it adjusted when I flew into different timezones on vacation. I did the daily grind for gold. On three servers. I could afford all the adventures, and all the expansion packs. "Tavern Brawl Thursday" was a thing, and my partner's eyes would roll, just as they did when I played on vacation. The fifteenth of each month and having to play nine games with Noz was a chore. Turns were rarely as brief as fifteen seconds even then.
I played all hero archetypes across all three servers, the better to grind. Achieving Level 60 was always meaningless. The heroes seem far less different from one another, these days, as new expansions scatter cards between them. I have no favorites, though Priest and Warlock don't seem as much fun or to my taste as, say, Druid or Rogue. Demon Warrior is okay, but the newer Death Knight seems a little gimmicky. I used netdecks, because actually playing is more fun for me than designing a deck to play, and I'd have the cards to play a lot of the decks. I really enjoyed playing Pirate Warrior and, er, Treant Infinite Growth Druid or whatever it was called, until new expansions meant that those decks were no longer useful. My deck space was always full with decks and variants I'd tried, and I always wanted more deck slots.
But Hearthstone was expanded beyond the classic game I enjoyed, and as it was diluted, that worked to dilute my interest. Arena was always a gold money pit, and not well thought out, even for someone who likes deck design; too random. Eventually Duels did that idea far better, with its choice of deck growth pathways. The solo adventures were enjoyable; on one server I bought single episodes with gold as anchors, and came back to buy the rest with the gold I'd earned after the adventures went cash-purchase-only. I understood the commercial need for Standard and Wild, since selling new cards that can be played enjoyably by new players is the goal, but the cards are not curated well in Standard thanks to introducing new cards all the time and rebalancing. Battlegrounds wasn't much fun, and was too time-consuming and unrewarding, even once I finally learned its mechanisms. Mercenaries was always boring.
And once the shop was revamped -- again -- indicating where engineers and designers were spending most of their time, and new types of currency that I never earned were introduced, Hearthstone turned into a much more obvious cash grab for whales, just like Farmville -- and with a raft of dialog boxes to wade through every time I opened it, just like Farmville. If everything is a special event, then nothing is a special event.
I don't care for gold cards and the animations that, if they wanted, could have been offered across all cards -- artificial upgrade scarcity, a waste of disk space -- or for the later platinum or whatever special cards they're doing now. That's just frippery and chrome. Why pay for it? Why repeatedly download content that you can't use?
A few dubious achievements, of sorts: I never made Legend -- playing across three servers diminished my progress on each, and I was just grinding, for the most part -- but did reach D2 a couple of times. I once got more than 100 wins in a Tavern Brawl (one of those only-three-cards-duplicated things) and didn't get anything for it. Some of my posts musing about the game were deleted from Blizzard's Hearthstone forums. Don't rock the boat, or bite the hand that feeds your addiction.
Opening packs is just annoying; making a fetish out of artificial scarcity is, in the end, offputting. And I can no longer be bothered to learn about the new functionality whose keywords I now struggle to read on the cards. Every event now has a mechanism tied to it, and it's been downhill since Inspire. Games take too long to play, and are often decided by my opponent playing some high-power card I'm unfamiliar with.
I can't remember the names of most cards; I played by artwork recognition, particularly once I stopped being able to read the names easily. The names are just not worth the effort, though Annoy-O-Bot sticks in my memory. The lore behind the cards? that's not even a game mechanic, man.
I have all the white-jewel cards, most of the blues, and a good scattering of the other two. I never went for mass card disenchants to buy rare cards; the value wasn't there. I saved dust, and curated my cards, disenchanting the gold cards that I was awarded, endlessly. Once the red tags remained, that was the first sign I cared less.
I still have over 10,000 gold on each server, so I can easily buy a few more expansion packs I'll never really use. But these days I only log in on Thursdays, to glance at the tavern brawl. I might play it if it's novel, but most times I've seen it before, and don't.
But constantly downloading a new client -- gigabytes of data, which is mostly animations -- jars with me, particularly when it gets updated a couple of days after a big revision and I have to do it all over again. Maybe Battlegrounds should be an optional download, too, to decrease app size, but it seems to be the main earner at this point.
I really liked Warcraft III as well, but Blizzard eventually ruined that introduction to their world, with Reforged. A menu system written in Electron that takes more CPU than the game it prevented access to? Ten minutes to draw the start menu on a little Asus netbook that is far more than capable of playing the original 2002 Warcraft III game that the menu is preventing access to? Getting to the fun moments became too hard. So I had to give up on Warcraft III, just as I've now given up on Hearthstone.
In retrospect, I could have sent less time gaming, and more time enjoying life. There are many other tales of addiction, even to Hearthstone, that are far more serious than my minor decade-long peccadillo. There's more to life than gaming, but it's true that Hearthstone is a game that I did once enjoy.
I think, in the end, I'm thankful that Blizzard ruined Hearthstone; it has made it easier to leave.

I have been beating my head against the wall for like 2 weeks and I can't figure out the issue no matter what I try.
The issue is that with games that are graphic intensive (Warcraft and Vampire Hunters are the last I tried to look on Steam and off) start up and then freeze a few seconds into running. I can run My Singing Monsters and RPGM games what seems to be perfectly.
PC specs: Ryzen 9 7900X3D 64 GB DDR5 RAM (2x32 GSkill Trident, if that makes a difference) Radeon 7900XTX (XFX Merc 310) ROG Strix B650-A Mobo 1000W PS (Corsair RM 1000e) Windows 11 Home
So for troubleshooting purposes, I've done this: Updated drivers with Adrenalin and manually through device manager searching for best drivers through windows Updated the BIOS, didn't notice a change Looking at Adrenalin, shows 2 GPUs, GPU1 seems to be the IGFX and GPU2 seems to be the Radeon. In the BIOS, the PCIe is enabled to be the primary. I went to device manager and disabled GPU1 and games started to run, albeit slow. So, I restarted to try and fix it and now my screen colors seem to be like the phone with adaptive coloring and sound no longer works. Uninstalled and reinstalled the sound drivers and did not work. Reenable the GPU1 and sound comes back, but games don't launch. Stress tested in Adrenalin for a minute and everything ran fine. Reset the computer and reinstalled drivers and still the same issues. Have not done DDU (started it, it deleted the audio and then hung)
Please help or at least give me some direction. Thank you

Hey there, I was just wondering about what the issue here is, what might be causing it, and what I can do to fix it.
With literally every single download on Steam, I get the same results. Very spotty and inconsistent speeds sometimes spiking at like 900mbps, but usually being more around 25-100mbps, but really too inconsistent to tell. The little graph it shows you is an inconsistent mess, and it always seems to be the network’s fault. It can sometimes take an entire 24 hours to download something that’s 60 GB.
This is with a decent SSD that isn’t extremely full, a perfectly functioning and well-built PC with quality parts, advertised gig-speed internet, and a high end ethernet cable connected to a network switch that has been repeatedly tested with no errors. I’ve even made sure to close all other applications on my PC, and even anything else unnecessary with task manager.
I’m just so confused and wondering what the issue is at this point. Is my internet provider just awful? Is there something I’m overlooking?
A few extra things: I use Windows 11, everything besides my motherboard’s BIOS (I haven’t gotten around to it and was advised that it’s not an issue for the moment) is updated properly, and I’ve done many online speed tests that have given me the results I would expect from my internet package.

Problem: Hello,
Recently my PC has been on its last leg even though it is quite new in terms of parts. The freezing will happen at random and some games are more prone to it than others (Ubisoft games tend to be more prone to it). When it happens the screen will freeze and I won't be able to move anything or exit the game, the audio keeps playing for a bit before it eventually loops and after a few seconds it will cut off. It has also started occurring when simply browsing the internet or watching a video. Recently I've started waiting a few minutes before hard resetting and after about the 3 minute mark my screen will go black except for the cursor icon with a frozen loading symbol. I don't know too much about PC building which is why I am asking for help, I don't even know where to start as I am not sure if it is a hardware related problem or software.
Troubleshooting:
Updated Bios and ran DDU. These were the only things I could think of to maybe fix it but had no luck and the problem persist.
If anyone could think of anything else to help the issue it would be greatly appreciated.

Added "Intel Baseline Profile" 

Hi,
I have a PNY 4070 ti 12GB OC, recently the second DP output has not been sending any signal to my monitor, I have 4 monitors, I tried each monitor separately and the other 3 outputs are working fine, I tried to update the drive with no luck, also I formatted and installed clean windows 11, also no luck, two days ago I noticed that the second slot could work only on BIOS and when it's booting to windows again no signal.
Please help 😢

I bought the latest Yoga Book 9i Gen 9 (Meteor lake) maxed out including 4yr warranty as I intend to use this as my primary machine for conducting my financial trading/investing activities. Things like looking at multiple charts, conducting online search and reading,
This flippable dual-screen is a new form factor of machine that Windows is not really designed for, but Lenovo has been able to take advantage of many existing features to turn it into a working reality.
Hence I have compiled a bunch of Windows-OS related tips that owners should pay attention for a pleasant initial experience with Yoga Book (beyond just getting the latest software updates with Lenovo Vantage and Windows updates).
I wrote the full version in another forum: https://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/threads/lenovo-yoga-book-9i-tips.7023377/
The short outline is as follows:

1. Install Notebookcheck's ICC profile to get calibrated colour displays.
2. Turn off USB "Always On" in the BIOS because it sucks power even during laptop off state.
3. Check regularly with the Win Task Manager for buggy processes that become a power virus and end them.
4. Disable the Windows feature "Virtual Machine Platform" for faster (snappier) performance.
5. Power & battery life:

a) Turn on Windows Battery Saver mode (not the same as Lenovo Vantage's Battery Saver) to maximise battery life and reduce heat.
b) If you want a custom Windows Power Plan settings for sleep to be followed, lock the screen with Win+L. This prevents Lenovo Zero Touch Lock from activating its own sleep that does not follow your custom Windows Power Plan. I only need this hack when I run trading software.

1. If you intend to operate in High Performance Mode for long time, place a USB-powered fan behind the hotspot to keep the laptop cool. USB-C PD 12V to 4pin PWM fans converters now available. Power it separately otherwise it will reduce the power available to the CPU.
   
2. Use Apple Magic Trackpad
   
3. If any app windows disappear off-screen, rotate the Yoga Book 90 degrees several times to force the off-screen windows back on one of the displays.
   
4. Handling the Yoga Book like a book: The Lenovo support guys say they are working on a dual screen software rotation lock to facilitate book handling, and this is the real solution to book handling woes. But in the mean time, the stop-gap is noting that the sequence is somewhat reverse of how we naturally open a book:
   

First, the Yoga Book must be open to the desired angle between the screens.
Second, then hold the screen in vertical portrait orientation (the speaker bar must be vertical). This initiates the landscape to portrait rotation on all screens and locks the portrait orientation for the next step.
Third you can start leaning back the screens (max about 60 to 70 deg from vertical) while maintaining the same angle between screen (book form) without triggering the return to landscape rotation. If you want to change the angle between the screens, it will trigger return to landscape orientation, so you have to go back to step 1.
If you need to lean the Yoga Book all the way flat, both screens need to be parallel and flat to maintain portrait orientation. This completely flat config accommodates the widest range of motion without triggering the rotation to landscape.

1. For cross-screen browsing (browser stretched across 2 screens), use any non-Chromium browser (eg. Firefox). Chromium browsers (Edge, Google Chrome) have some kind of conflict with Intel Graphics acceleration causing screen delays and even IGFXN reset event error id 4101. They work fine only when confined to a single screen.
   
2. Disable Windows Fast-startup.
   
3. Turn on Core Isolation features (memory integrity & kernel hardware protection) for better Windows security.
   

With the above, Yoga Book 9i is a great laptop for me.
With AC power at home, I set it up with laptop aluminium stand and an attached PC fan blowing the back to keep it cool, as the OLED display attached to the CPU unit is warmer than the other OLED screen and will inevitably suffer shorter life. Battery saver mode on all the time. (in the tropics here, room temp is 30degC).
I've only started using the Yoga for 2 weeks, first focusing on stability issues. The book format and the pen will be next.

So I recently bought a new cpu ( R7 5800x) and when I plug it into my mobo the gpu won't work, like the fans won't even spin up or anything and the computer won't boot. It's important to mention that no gpu works it seems, as I've plugged in both my old gpu and new gpu and they both don't work with the 5800x,whereas on the other hand my old cpu runs them both fine. I thought that maybe it could be a mobo issue (MSI b450 tomahawk) so I updated the bios to newest, and still no luck. Any advice is appreciated.

Hey guys this is my 1st time posting here. I hope everything is all well. So I met her last december, let us call her A. A was a very beautiful women, who I really wanted to have a relationship. SI A is an academic achiever while me is let say above average hahaha. She is always busy when we talk, inuuna niya kase yung acads niya and I understand it. I told her na manliligaw ako sa kanya, she almost turn me down instantly becauase she said na hinde daw tumatagal yung mga past talking stage niya because of her situtaion, akala daw ng iba is nawawalan siya ng interest kaya they left her na lang and also pinapaaral siya ng tita and tito niya from abroad kaya no choice siya kundi sumunod, I told her ibahin niya ako, she agreed naman but she said na if ever, we will stay in secret muna. May mga times na I feel very discouraged na but whenever I feel like that, I talk to her and she explains naman and she is updating me if ever na magiging busy siya so ayun, staying strong kami.
She posted me on IG, na bio niya name ko, ako syempre super kilig and saya when that happened. Hanggang sa mina myday niya ako sa IG. I asked her "Why sa IG lang?" She responded na yung IG is her "safe space" dahil wala daw don fam niya, puro classmates and acquitances niya lang andon. Nung nakausap na siya ng tita niya, nung una pabiro lang but parang girl instinct ata kaya niya nasabi yon, so ayun umamin na siya. Super kabado kami dahil akala namin is it will be ended quickly but her tita is pumayag naman but hanggang ligaw lang. After that incident, she posted me na sa Facebook niya. Napaka saya ng mga araw ko na yon dahil we really like each other, sometimes she engages to talk and call, minsan ako, kahit hindi ko hinihingi, she give it to me. Unfortunately, her tito saw me sa facebook and kinausap siya, her tito said na "No boys allowed muna" so she has no choice to end our relationship dahil uuwi sila here sa Pilipinas and she promised na she will fix things before they come here.
I was really devastated nung nalaman ko yung mga pangyayari. We are all goods naman till that night na hinde na siya halos nag rereply sa messages ko and akala ko busy lang siya talga dahil exam week din niya. Then one morning, she messaged me na yon nga ang nangyari, I can't take it pa ng maayos dahil may klase ako na iniintay that time, my friends talked to me kung ano ang mga pangyayri dahil nagulat na lang sila na bigla ako umiyak. After seeing her last message, she blocked me na. Then I remembered na she has an dump account so I messaged her doon. After few hours, she replied na ayaw na daw niya. But I insisted na wag naman sana niya putulin ang connection namin na parang wala lang nangyari sa amin and I will wait for her till the day she is ready. She replied naman after that na she was really was sorry and said na if ever na will meet again, and kung yun naman ang gusto ng tadhana, kami pa rin sa huli.
Thank you A, we will meet again, I'll do it. Habang nakalihis ang landas natin, I'll make sure na I will stay strong, improve, do better, and be worthy of you kapag nagkita na us again. I'll make sure na we will meet again
