  1. AMD Smart Access Memory needs me to enable pci subsystem 4 gb encoding in BIOS

    Thank you because I was having a hard time finding it but I was able to use these guides to at least have an idea of what the folder it was in was named. then when I found it, it was greyed out. I had to disable CSM support, but that option wasn't showing up anywhere, so I asked gemini and it...

  2. AMD Smart Access Memory needs me to enable pci subsystem 4 gb encoding in BIOS

    I have a pic here. I went into my BIOS of my ASROCK Gaming Phantom and I can't find any option involving PCI subsystem or 4gb encoding. Any idea what specific option I'm looking for here? I have a Ryzen 5900x paired with this new 9060xt. Thank you for any help.

  3. Solved Can't enter Safe Mode because keyboard won't turn on

    I tried the front panel but that didn't work. I might end up getting a PS2 mouse anyway for future upgrades because I'm going to change out my boot drive and soundcard too.

  4. Solved Can't enter Safe Mode because keyboard won't turn on

    I've heard of legacy support but I thought that was for older electronics that used old USB interfaces from like Windows XP. I didn't know it could be for a keyboard I bought in 2015 though. I guess legacy means something else in my mind. I'll look for a way to enable that.

  5. Solved Can't enter Safe Mode because keyboard won't turn on

    argh! I meant X570. Spunk's solution worked though so I'm happy. I overthink things...

  6. Solved Can't enter Safe Mode because keyboard won't turn on

    I feel really stupid for overthinking it like I did. I just did this, and now I have my 9060xt running benchmarks. Thank you for your help.

  7. CPU in Eco Mode has weird usage graph

    Is it normal for the graph to go up and down like this? I'm always a little paranoid about my hardware because this was a 1 time buy.

  8. Solved Can't enter Safe Mode because keyboard won't turn on

    I'm doing a DDU uninstall of Nvidia and replacing my GPU with an AMD, so I need to enter Safe Mode but when I am at the selection screen (press 4 for safe mode, 5 for safe mode with networking, etc) my keyboard won't turn on. I have never entered Safe Mode with the motherboard I have now, the...

  9. CPU in Eco Mode has weird usage graph

    Forgive me, I tried finding the right sub forum but I don't know where I would put this. I put my Ryzen 5900X in Eco mode in Ryzen Master and restarted. Eco Mode brings it from 105W to 65W. It has this usage pattern on the graph and I'm wondering if there is anything to worry about or if this is...

  10. Reinstalled touchpad drivers, now touchpad is slow and mouse is fast

    My laptop is a Samsung 730QDA I've had harmony between my bluetooth logitech mouse and my touchpad for years. Last night my touchpad stopped working so I uninstalled the drivers from device manager and let Windows handle reinstalling it. Now my touchpad moves incredibly slow and my mouse moves...

  11. Had to press any key to reset CMOS when dad's laptop died.

    I don't have the model number but it was a $300 ASUS laptop to replace his previous laptop that he dropped out of his wheelchair. I probably will just open it to see if the battery is replaceable and if it isn't then we're already saving up for a new laptop anyway.

  12. Had to press any key to reset CMOS when dad's laptop died.

    The laptop is a cheapo from 3 years ago so I probably wouldn't get any support for it. It might have happened because of what you said about it losing power. My dad must not have noticed it was dying until it was all the way dead and by then it just had that bios glitch. But if the laptop goes...

  13. Had to press any key to reset CMOS when dad's laptop died.

    oh ok so it would be obvious that it's bad

  14. Had to press any key to reset CMOS when dad's laptop died.

    Thank you for the points! I still have too many hard drives to count. I let them die all the way before replacing them, because I have enough backup to run a small country's entire economy

  15. Had to press any key to reset CMOS when dad's laptop died.

    I thought about checking the battery for swelling but I don't know what the threshold between normal and swollen is other than the extreme examples I've seen on social media. I assume if I press my finger into it and it has any give whatsoever then it's swollen?
