Update: I updated bios and now I'm black screening so I'm kinda lost at this point. Should I just get a new PC at this point?
Tried updating my bios but when attempting to through the bios itself it states "not a valid bios" even though it's through the updater built in??
Update: I stole my partners ram and put 4 x 8gb in there and now it's showing 16 GB available. Smh. So it seems something is reserving half of my ram. I reset bios to default. PLZ help lmaooooooooo
Hey all still working on it I'll try a few more fixes today. Thank you guys so much for all the help 😭
Where would that be in bios? I've got an asus but unsure currently what specs
Randomly one day I was playing a game and it started stuttering so it worked at one point. Got ram installed into the right slots. Tried a different set, then my old ram stick then tried with new ram and old ram. At that point it states 24gb available 7.9gb usable.
Checked and the option is not ticked. No igpu
Update: I installed Linux and it's still not working I will tweak around with some of the settings yall suggested and get back to you ASAP. Also
No igpu Gpu: 1070ti ftw2 Ram: corsair vengeance pro ddr4 3600 I'll get my mobo soon im stepping out for groceries
Only issue is most of what I use it for is gaming. Do you know any Linux distro that would be best for that? I would also like forge launcher for games with the partner
