I only use my computers for running Tradestation with a single low res monitor, so overall my graphics requirement is quite low. I've never used a graphics card at all, just Intel onboard graphics. Recently I noticed that when I allow the monitor to go to power off mode (from Windows power...

It's Tradestation, so hence the need for reliability. Tradestation is a notoriously buggy piece of software. I thought about a VM, but that's another level of complications which I don't care for.

I tried to install Windows server 2022 on this mobo (Asus Prim H610M-A D4 CSM). Asus tells me it's not compatible with Windows server operating systems. I was able to install the server OS on some older Asus motherboards, but not the one I mentioned above. Can anyone recommend such a mobo? I am...

I bought it on Amazon. Lesson learned.

I have been putting together my own computers for years; I've built at least 10 and never had this happen. One of my spare machines did not have a Windows 11 compatible mobo, so I purchase a replacement with TPM (Asus Prime B360M-A) so I could use it to test Windows 11. It was not new (half...

Yes, I found them, thanks. My computers are minimal, less than 300 watts. Hence the need for very few cables. The are also caseless, so I'd prefer not to have the extra spare cables flopping around.

Power supplies always have way more cables and connectors than I need. This is especially true now that you can put your hard drive right on the mobo. I could get by with a power supply that only has the 24 pin and 4 pin mobo connectors. If I need other drives or storage they can be USB, on the...

The next day, I went to work on this computer, and it started up as if nothing had happened. I suspect this had something to do with Windows activation, but who knows.

I've just put together a new build (mobo, cpu, ram, and the subject hard drive). On initial install of Win 10 Pro, everything went ok. It was running. I shut it off,and the next day I began installing software, starting with Fling, an ftp utility, which I've used for years. Sometime during the...

This morning this computer shut down on it's own, and then restarted normally. The mobo is an Asus P8H67-M EVO. Because of the shutdown, I thought to check the temperature. SpeedFan shows a CPU temp of 89C, while core temps are below 30C. I then went to BIOS and looked at the temperature there...

The two memory sticks turned out to be unmatched. It was the newest one that was bad, and which the mfg(Kingston) has agreed to repair since it's an out of production model. In the meantime, I have purchased 2 new memory sticks. As an afterthought to this I decided to check the memory in...

I was just trying to decide if it would be better to replace them both, even if only one is bad. I still have to run the one at a time test. Thanks for the feedback.

I ran this test in the course of diagnosing a freeze up problem which started suddenly and with increasing frequency. Can someone give me an interpretation of the results. I'm assuming I should replace the memory, which is this:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820134636...

It would be hard to answer the temperature question without doing actual testing, but for the thing that matters most (the cpu), it's getting the benefit of cooler room temperature air, and that is good enough for me. And, as I said, I have a long experience factor with no problems, and I have 4...

Thanks for the comments. I agree with your comments about the RF, but I'm looking for an authoritative source that I can point to if someone challenges my recommendation. Some feed back on your other thoughts as well. 1 and 2. The mobo's are all vertical so they get convective and radiant...

We all know that computers have to meet some FCC guidelines for RF leakage, but what if you are running caseless. I have 4 computers in my office, and none of them is in a case. Three of them are very close to one another, so it doesn't seem to have any effect on the computers themselves. There...

I was able repair the connector, so I purchased the two capacitors that appeared to be bad and replaced them. It now returns from the power off state without difficulty.

I eventually decided to take the monitor apart. It's quit difficult to disassemble and I broke a wire on one of the connectors which goes from the main board to the screen. I could see that a couple of capacitors were pooched, so that is probably the problem, but I'm not sure if I can repair the...

I have two of these and have had them for several years. Lately one of them has begun to stall in trying to power up when it has been put in low power mode by Windows. I noticed there are some parts available for these, but I'm not sure what part I might need. Anyone know? Thanks for any...

Done, thanks.
