Hi guys, was looking online for some help on how to utilise ram better. I found some suggestions to change the bios and clock speed etc. I changed a couple of settings and rebooted and now the pc turns on and all seems fine but is displaying nothing to the monitors, neither of them. They both say no signal and then go to sleep after a couple of minutes, I have restarted via the power button and turned the unit off at the rear power switch to. Not really sure what I’ve done?

Any beeps when it boots?

fiery heron
#

Listening now

#

I can’t tell when it’s fully booted (no screen displayed) but no it doesn’t seem to beep

robust bobcat
#

Sounds like you were basically trying to overclock the mem.... can you get back into the bios? Spam DEL while booting

fiery heron
#

I was enabling the XMP or similar feature and adjust the target speed, I thought I’d been careful and didn’t adjust it too much

#

No, not able to access them - the display ends up going off

robust bobcat
#

I'd reset the Bios... Look up how to reset the bios for your board (removing the CMOS battery)

fiery heron
#

Do I just search removing the battery or?

robust bobcat
#

what mobo?

fiery heron
#

Do I need to know the board

robust bobcat
#

you may have a reset button on the mobo

fiery heron
#

Im assuming it all needs unplugged and opening up? Like there is no external access?

robust bobcat
#

yes

#

the battery is on the mobo

#

looks like a big watch bettery

fiery heron
#

How hard is this to do!

#

?*

robust bobcat
#

What RAM do you have? Does it support XMP/EXPO? If not then enabling the option is probably why it doesn't boot, or the clock settings were wrong... but it should have beeped if there was a RAM error...

fiery heron
#

some ddr4 Corsair

#

4x8

#

3600 I think

#

Am I going to need to move the GPU for this placement?

robust bobcat
#

unfortunately you are...

fiery heron
#

Is that just a few screws or?

robust bobcat
#

screws at the back, power cables and then pull it out (unless it has a PCI clip)

fiery heron
#

Are those the clips?

robust bobcat
#

remove the two power cables from the gpu, and the two screws on the back plate

fiery heron
#

When I undo the screws, will it fall

#

Like which is best first, clips or screws

robust bobcat
#

shouldn't, but make sure you lay the case on it's side

fiery heron
#

It is mate

robust bobcat
#

power then screws

fiery heron
robust bobcat
#

didn't want to say that 🙂

severe tundra
#

screws first

#

but support the GPU

#

I would unplug power first aswell

fiery heron
robust bobcat
#

I think your mobo has PCI slot clips...

fiery heron
#

Not sure if these help?

robust bobcat
#

there is a clip on the right of the slot you need to push open

162957000058.png
#

it will pop up the card

fiery heron
#

Any chance I send a pic and you annotate where the clip is?

robust bobcat
#

the pics you're sending are from above so can't show on your pics

fiery heron
#

Which angle should I show?

robust bobcat
#

like the manual I posted

#

I'd give that a good read fella

#

what SSD/HDD drives do you have? are any of them setup as RAID?

fiery heron
#

I found it!

fiery heron
#

Not a clue what raid is mate

robust bobcat
#

ok cool

fiery heron
#

So what now?

#

Go in reverse?

robust bobcat
#

give it a few mins

#

put the battery down 🙂

fiery heron
#

And just to foreshadow, if this doesn’t fix it

#

What situation am I left in then…

robust bobcat
#

erm... well... lets cross that bridge whne you're fcuk'd

fiery heron
#

Whole new builds

#

?*

robust bobcat
#

nah, lets see

fiery heron
#

I’m still confused as to what I did wrong, I very much did not adjust many things maybe one or two values?

robust bobcat
#

I'm 90% convinced you messed up the mem settings

fiery heron
#

90 isn’t convincing hahaha

#

Let me know when is good to start the rebuild 👍🏻

robust bobcat
#

the 10% is for the "oh fcuk"

fiery heron
#

Fingers crossed for the 90

robust bobcat
#

ok it's been about 5 mins... stick it back in and do all the other stuff in reverse

#

when you try to boot hit/spam the DEL key

fiery heron
robust bobcat
#

F1

fiery heron
#

Ignore the hand, I’m unsure

robust bobcat
#

set the date/time for starters

fiery heron
#

Lovely

IMG_6472.jpg
robust bobcat
#

then go to "Boot" and check the settings

fiery heron
#

Done

finite impBOT
#

cprgbglitch :tada: Congrats @robust bobcat, you levelled up to 9! :tada: cprgbglitch

fiery heron
robust bobcat
#

looks fine

#

Choose "Exit" and Save & Exit"

fiery heron
#

Any other settings you’d think is useful to look at? Ram or fans or anything?

robust bobcat
#

lets see if it gets into windows

fiery heron
#

😭😭😭

#

Save changes and reset

#

Or discard changed and exit

robust bobcat
#

SAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#

lol

fiery heron
#

Here we goooo

IMG_6474.jpg
robust bobcat
#

yes

fiery heron
#

ARE YOU RRADY FOR THE REVEAL

robust bobcat
#

90% fella

#

no need for 10% OMFG time

fiery heron
#

Hahahahahahahahaha

#

Mate you’re an absolute amazing person, thank you so much

#

So patient and helpful, also with a hint of derogatory banter to keep it real

robust bobcat
#

no worries... I'd reboot, go back in the bios and just have alook at the other settings for fans and such

fiery heron
#

Ermmmm

#

What do you mean?

#

I’d previously cranked the fan speed as the gpu was running hot, is it worth redoing?

robust bobcat
#

You have completly rest you bios back to factory settinsg so you many want to tweak fan curves (or not)

fiery heron
#

Also, is the whole thing of your ram speed on the box versus the speed you’re running a thing worth changing?

fiery heron
robust bobcat
#

I'd just have a lok in the bios and see what they are set to... they may be jsut fine

fiery heron
#

Okay will take a dive now

robust bobcat
#

as for RAM tweaks... you need to know the specs of your Mem, what it can support in terms of clocks and OC and if it can do XMP/EXPO

severe tundra
#

just enable XMP and u good

fiery heron
#

Do these numbers look, as they should?

IMG_6476.jpg
#

For idle/ post boot

severe tundra
fiery heron
#

So xmp is the answer?

severe tundra
#

Yes

fiery heron
#

Is it known universally as xmp or does it vary on the brand?

robust bobcat
#

Intel is XMP, AMD is EXPO

severe tundra
#

XMP/docp/EXPO

#

on asus its just XMP pretty sure

robust bobcat
#

fairy fluff

severe tundra
fiery heron
#

These are the ones I changed before, I think

IMG_6477.jpg
#

This is what broke it all I assume

severe tundra
#

don't mess with that

fiery heron
#

Well I know that now hahaha

#

Useful?

IMG_6478.jpg
#

All good?

IMG_6479.jpg
robust bobcat
#

yeah, give it a go

fiery heron
#

Okay let’s save and reset!

robust bobcat
#

boooom!

#

sorry

#

just kidding

fiery heron
#

Hahahaha

#

Aaaaand we have blast off 🚀

IMG_6482.jpg
robust bobcat
#

as I was saying before... if need to fiddle with the temps jsut hit F6 in the bios to take you to fan control and you should be able to adjust the fan curves

fiery heron
#

Yeah I did that too mate, they’re all on full

#

Sounds like a wind tunnel in here

robust bobcat
#

well... to the moon mate

fiery heron
#

Things are feeling a little more snappy on the first impression

#

Possibly placebo but I’ll take it

robust bobcat
#

hahaha

#

nah it was the RAM download we sent

#

😛

fiery heron
#

Not a clue what you’re on about hahaha

#

Lost me

robust bobcat
#

🙂

fiery heron
#

Anywhere I can leave any feedback mate?

robust bobcat
#

so.... you're all good? can I go get a beer?

fiery heron
#

Get 3 mate

robust bobcat
#

🙂

#

feedback?

fiery heron
#

Yeah I don’t see a channel or anything for it

robust bobcat
#

no idea fella, I'm new around these parts, only here cuz I got a new PC a couple of weeks ago and wanted to post p0rn pics of my rig 🙂

fiery heron
#

😂😂 casual as anything

robust bobcat
#

kind jsut stuck around ... as a filthy casual

fiery heron
#

Veeeeery nice mate, can’t get on the curved for the main myself but I can appreciate a lovely view

robust bobcat
#

fiery heron
#

I’ll let you get on with that beer now pal, as I said before - you dragged me right out that expensive hole, I very much appreciate your knowledge

#

Thanks mate, have a great day x

robust bobcat
#

no worries happy to help! good luck and try not to fiddle to much 🙂

fiery heron
#
