    Need help with possible cause (which part to replace) - CPU or Mainboard?

    Found the problem and it has happened to a few others out there. The GA board + 1600 combo for some reason has a setting (wasn't able to find) where half the system memory is reserved. Windows and Linux clearly show this. When I swapped the CPU out for my 3800x the reservation went away, but...

    Sorry I just wanted to clarify that I wasn't leaving the installation media in the CD or USB formats and trying to boot the installed operating system on the HD. So no success. I also tried reinstalling manjaro (just because I already had it on a USB) and Manjaro saw the disks, installed...

    Question: Video Card impact on Desktop Performance?

    Thanks folks I do have an SSD running, and that has made the difference, the real lag I see is in video playback. Usually with the audio and video being out of sync. I think I will try a newer card and let you know the results. Thanks for all your comments.
