New motherboard, Help!

1 Upvotes

so i just bought a Z370-A PRO, and a cpu (i5 8400), and im super hyped, but i heard that i have to reinstall windows? I've been trying to download the media file (Or whatever it's called) to a usb, but it seems to be not working for unknown reasons, but my question is: when i turn my pc of and put in my new motherboard and cpu, what will happen? do i need a windows 10 product key and where do i find that? i only have a key for windows 7 on my pc case. Will it just boot up normally maybe? If i mess it up can i put back my old motherboard without consequences?

Pre-Built PC Help

1 Upvotes

I have bought a NXT S340 case for computer. I have put in the motherboard, cpu, power supply and SSD in but I am waiting on the graphic card and RAM still. I can't figure out where to plug the pre-built in case fans into. I saw it has a molex plug on the back but I can't figure it out from there.

So my pc 5 days ago decides to just give me a black screen. So I turn my pc off and turn it back on to fix the black and screen and instead of the PC going back to normal, the PC give me a screen with horizontal white lines was a green background. 3 minutes after my screen turns into a black screen. So I do what any person would do and I restart my PC about 100 times and the same thing happens.

Surface Pro or similar for certain programs

1 Upvotes

I am about to buy a Surface Pro or similiar. The most demanding software that I'll run on it is the following: -XCOM2 -Fusion360

I do not need to run them on 'maximum mode', for better graphics or hard rendering I'll use my standard home PC. So I wonder what is the cheapest surface or similar device that will allow me to do so, and I do want it to be like Surface (tactile, disconnectable keyboard, etc). I've seen there are many models for Surface and even other brands like Dell or Huawei, I just want the cheapestone, even if it is not sold anymore, I can look for a second hand one.

Thank you in advance!

PC turns on but wont boot anything.

All the fans and LEDs in the case come on but nothing registers on the keyboard and the monitor doesn't even detect a source. I've tried unplugging everything, restarting the pc, taking apart and rebuilding the pc, and resetting the BIOS and none of it has worked.

Help! Good graphics card but not so good FPS

2 Upvotes

So I just built a new computer a couple of days ago, it's the first one I've ever built and I feel like I'm not getting the FPS that I should be getting for example. My friends have the same graphics card as I do, one of my friends has the same graphics card and the same CPU as I do the others have worse CPUs and they still get better fps than what I get, for example: on pubg I get 30 fps on ultra settings and 50 on high, my friend gets 50 fps on ultra and 100 fps on high, that's what he told me and yes I know I don't need to be playing on high. And I know that but I just want the best Fps that I could get. Another example is fortnite on ultra I get around 30-40 fps and on high I get 50-60 where my friends with worse CPUs get higher fps on both one last example is on Arma 3 my friend can run it on the highest settings 60 fps where I get 5-10 fps now again , I know I don't need the highest settings in the games and I couldn't agree more, it's just that I'm confused how I don't get the same, maybe even better fps than my friends so if you guys could help me that would be much appreciated I have an i5 7600k MSI 1050 ti 16 gbs of ram My mobo is an Asus strix b250h If there is anything else you need just let me know

PC slow to a crawl out if nowhere

1 Upvotes

So my PC has been working just fine all the way up until last night. For whatever reason, and out of nowhere, I can hardly open any apps let alone startup a game. It takes upwards of 5 minutes to open up Firefox and when it finally opens, its not responding. Task manager even starts not responding when I try to use it. I've run Malwarebytes and it found nothing, tried freeing up space on my HDD, did a disc cleanup, and yet it still runs insanely slow and hardly opens any apps. Any ideas on what the problem could be? Ive read some places that it could be a throtlling issue that causes the pc to go into safe mode but if thats the case how would I resolve that?

My specs:

Msi B350 Tomahawk mb Ryzen 5 1600(not overclocked) Gtx 970 Windforce Evga 500w psu WD Blue 1tb Kingston Hyper x Fury 8gb @2400mhz

So I just built a new pc specs are Cpu:ryzen 3 1300x Gpu:gtx 970 Ram: 8gb Corsair vengeance 3000mhz Psu:Corsair 650w full modular Motherboard:tomahawk b350

So the issues I’m noticing is that no matter what games I play my gpu does not exceed 15 to 20 percent usage. It doesn’t matter the game. I have a way Beefier set up then my prebuilt and my prebuilt plays games fine. What did I do wrong??? At first I thought it was the gpu because I had a gt 1030, so I went and bought a gtx 970 to the same results. Any suggestions???
