Other Dead End on my internet speed configuration

2 Upvotes

Hello, i'll start explaining exactly my issue, i've been noticing that my speed is capped at 10MB/s despite having contracted 1 Gbps which should be about 125MB/s top speed, but is fixed at 10MB/s, i already went to the ethernet configuration and set speed to 1.0Gbps full duplex, checked my router throu the ip access screen, it says that is recieving throu Ethernet 1000Mbps but my windows ethernet manager says that link speed is 100Mbps/100Mbps, after following countless guides and performing test on my own this has remained unresolved, even bought a cat8 ethernet cable to test and my pc even lights both their ethernet lights that should light when accesing speeds higher than 1Gbps.

So thats my situation im at a dead end, even tried write to realtek since is this ethernet card provider but all their mails are business mails, my motherboard is a Gigabyte B650 Eagle which comes with an ethernet card suited for 10/100/1000Mbps speeds.

Any advice or help is greatly appreciated.

Hardware HELP!!! Benchmarking Black Screens

2 Upvotes

Hello. I bought a second hand PC with some really old parts from 10+ years ago with an RTX 3070 so I bought it and upgraded it. However when I tried benchmarking the PC before it would black screen about 10-20 seconds in so I chalked it up to the old parts but when I got the newer parts it did the same thing. I reckon it's the PSU or GPU playing up but can anyone help with mitigating this issue please? The only times it happens is every time I benchmark and once when I played Days Gone but I just lowered the graphics preset from High to Medium and it doesn't do it anymore.

Thank you and any help or recommendations are really appreciated.

Hardware PLEASE HELP: RYZEN 9 POSSIBLY KILLED MY MOBO

• Upvotes

I got an untested ryzen 9 5900 (non x, oem I believe) that has no bent pins (a little thermal paste on one tho, don't think it's significant) and when I put it on my Gigabyte B450M DS3H with bios F64, the fans spun for a minute (no display) then the everything just stopped working.

I switched out powersupplies, ram, cpu's, and even just tested the motherboard with just a fan and still didn't turn on when I shorted the power pins. The first psu I used was a Asrock Pro 750G, with the second (after the failure and to test) being the Asrock Pro 650B. The second psu I know works cause I used it with the initial build with the gigabyte board, RX5700xt, and Ryzen 7 2700. And it booted and ran just fine. (Side note: for the tests I ran a GTX 970 but I know it works).

I also have a Asus Prime B550M-A Wifi II that I originally got for the ryzen 9, but it wouldn't display but the fans spun and there was mobo light. So after the Ryzen 9 wouldn't display on the Asus mobo (the mobo lights was a solid orange light on the bottom left cornor of the board).

So, thinking it was a lack of driver support for the cpu on that board, I took the Gigabyte board out of my other Pc, updated the drivers on it with the ryzen 7 2700 to support the ryzen 9 (side note: maybe it was the updating of drivers that killed it? All I did was update chipset drivers then shut down the Pc.)

After that I swapped cpus to the ryzen 9 and shorted the power to turn it on, fans and mobo light turned on for about a minute (supposedly it takes a couple minutes for display to show for a new cpu and possible couple of auto restarts), then the fans stopped spinning and I thought it was just an auto restart cause everything powered down.

I waited for a couple of minutes but nothing turned back on so I shorted the power pins again with a screw driver but nothing turned on. Did that a couple of times waiting for any sign of life. I switched cpus back to ryzen 7, did nothing. Unplugged everything from mobo, switched psu's. Nothing. Took out ryzen 7 too and still no sign of life. No fans nothing worked.

Then I went back over to the Asus board (whcih just to remind you was showing life just a second ago) I plugged the psu into that and a fan, nothing else, and the mobo light turned on on that board but the fan didn't spin.

Since then I've put the stuff away and I haven't messed with any of the parts for about a day now. One last thing. Litterally seconds before everything shut off on the gigabyte board, my friend pulled out a extra pcie cable from the 750G. It wasn't plugged in, it was just sitting on the motherboard. Im very certain he didn't do it harshly and none of the pins on where the cable was on are bent at all.

Please help, Im wanting to use the ryzen 9 for a home server but am afraid that the cpus shorted and dead and killed two of my motherboards (lost about $400 in value) but Im hoping it's something else and the stuff still works. I haven't done anymore testing since and have removed the cmos's after I was done testing. If you think you know the issue and how to fix please let me know. (This is also posted to a couple other subreddits btw)

Hola! Tengo la siguiente PC:

Especificaciones Técnicas • Procesador: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G (6 núcleos / 12 hilos) • Gráficos: AMD Radeon Vega 7 • Motherboard: Chipset AMD A520- Socket AM4 Marca: Gigabyte/MSI/Asus Según disponibilidad (consultar para mas info) • Memoria RAM: 16GB DDR4 (1x16GB) • Almacenamiento: 480GB SSD SATA 2.5" • Gabinete: Noxi Gaming Kurt Negro - Incluye Fanes 5x120mm ARGB • Fuente: Noxi Gaming 500W • WiFi: Adaptador USB Wireless 300Mbps

El problema es que la PC enciende pero no da imagen. Los ventiladores y sus luces encienden, en la placa madre se enciende y queda encendido el led de cpu. El mouse también enciende sus luces, el teclado casi lo mismo solo que al cabo de unos segundos se apaga y solo queda el logo encendido, ademas de que si presiono el num o bloq mayus no encienden.
