    Hdmi port is bad on the asrock 570. Switched to dvi and works fine but I was extremely heated when I saw this

    How did you HDMI port mess up?

    F***, I used to always switch the port on my GPU when streaming since I only had one cable.

    yep soon as i booted it up yesterday after connecting all power and data cables in order to POST

    took a good minute to post and then i was met with the asus motherboard splash screen with that green artifact mess.

    i swapped to the dvi port on the card and used my dvi to hdmi cable and worked like normal

    its a good card but Asrock are new to making gpus so im not surpised by having quality problems tbh

    i tried using their gpu overclock software too and the standard overclock preset crashed the system smh

    Damn.

    Use MSI Aferburner for GPU overclock.

    I use it to downclock mines a little since it's a closed system and the temps are high.

    Did you use another HDMI cable? Sometimes the cable can be defective.

    na i used my dvi cable instead but imma do that right now to confirm

    edit: well i be damned. its the cable but how the f*** does it work with my 560 and not the 570 thats why i assumed the port was bad cause i know the cable was good

    i just put the original cable on my xbox and it works just fine there too

    I knew it would be the cable. It's happened to me a couple of times where the HDMI cable just craps out. Some times I just keep plugging it back in and it fixes itself.

    First timer trying to make a budget build real quick before these prices keep going up, already ordered everythign but can you guys let me know what you think? For a budget build:

    AMD Ryzen 3 3200G Processor (4C/4T, 6MB cache, 4.0GHz Max Boost) with Radeon Vega 8 Graphics
    MSI B450M PRO-VDH MAX Motherboard
    Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4 3200 MHz C16 XMP 2.0
    Kingston SSD A400 Solid State Drive 2.5 inch SATA 3 - 480 GB
    Thermaltake SMART 600W ATX 12V V2.3/EPS 12V 80 PLUS
    Case: Cooler Master MCB-q300l-kann-s00 (wanted to get this cool looking AeroCool joint but it was sold out)
    Monitor: ViewSonic XG2402 24" 144Hz 1MS FreeSync

    Currently looking for mouse+keyboard

    hey guys! so I was able to build this successfully earlier in the week and everything has been well :) but one of the RAM sticks isn't being picked up ):

    Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB)

    When I had it in DIMMA2 it wasn't reading it and it was telling me to put the stick I had in DIMMB2 into DIMMA2, when I switched them it wasn't giving me any issues but it wasn't reading the stick I had in DIMMB2 (which is the one that wasn't being read).

    Anything else I can do to troubleshoot or should I look into purchasing a new one? And if so, what are my options for buying a new one? Thanks a ton in advance!

    honestly im not that experienced so i wouldn’t know how to help, have you tried pc build subreddits? if all else fails it wouldnt be hard to find another compatible stick because theyre everywhere.

    This happened to me when I upgraded my GPU.

    Make sure they are in every other port first (your manual will tell you specifically which ones to start at).

    Make sure you aren't overclocked. Just keep reseating. Mines have to be reseated sometimes when I physically change things in my system.

    BIOS will tell you which DIMM isn't being read from.

    I hear Asrock has some nice higher end Motherboards but I've had had nothing but bad luck with their stuff

    I've only ever owned cheaper mobos tho

    ya i was kinda skeptical cause i know their lower end boards are pretty ass, but ive seen good reviews on the gpus so i tried it out. its an amazing card so far.

    overwatch on ultra. destiny on high. this is with one stick of 16gb ram in it (newegg sent the wrong s***). i have two dimms now so add ~5 fps to both these numbers

    i have an asus 60hz panel aswell so imma have to upgrade my monitor at some point but this s*** is unreal to me. i never had a system this good before
