For all people who have the same problem: I fixed it by slightly bending the tabs with my fingers, and now the problem seems to be solved.

Hello everyone, today I was trying to install a new XFX RX 580 GTS in an old build, but things didn't go as smoothly as I hoped. There seems to be a slight bend in the metal of the GPU, making me unable to correctly insert the card into the PCIE slot. I'm not quite sure whether this bend is not...

Yeah that's why I added I'm going to the States this month, what are some of the notebooks you have in mind then?

Anyone?

Hi, I'm looking to buy a new laptop for the next year of school. I'm studying abroad, so a desktop is not an option. I was hoping the fine folks at Anandtech could help me out. I live in West-Europe but I'm travelling to NY/Miami this month, so buying something in the US is an option as...

Then you shouldn't buy a 3570k and Z77 motherboard. You either downgrade or get into overclocking ;-) I had the same setup (and was a complete noob at overclocking as well) and used this guide to help me. It isn't very hard with some help. And if you really don't want to OC, then a i5 3450 and...

Bump, anyone?

So, as it seems, it has decided to start working for some reason. I have no idea how I did it, just playing around with the setings, but it seems to work. Thanks for the suggestions anyway!

Hello fine folks of AT, I seem to have a problem with my old hedseat on a new-built computer. I'm able to get sound in both front and rear jacks, although I can't seem to get my microphone working. I have tried to fiddle around in the BIOS, in Realtek Audio Manager, Sound panel from Windows...

So, I'm back and I have tried different solutions with different results! Updated the BIOS, didn't really help at first. Although it may have contributed to making it work. I checked and double-checked and the ATX12V was indeed connected, thanks for the suggestion anyways ;-) So, I...

Yeah, I was searching on the web and found that as well. I will try it as soon as I come back from a small trip on Wednesday. Will keep you updated!

Ok so I did a few things, with different effects: tried another slot: still doesn't seem to work tried another GPU: I tried my old GTX 280, which works with 6+8 pins for power supply, but the 8 pin one seems to be a bit bended, so I cannot use that one in my new rig (works in the old one...

Ok, I'll try that tomorrow, since it's getting dark in here and there's not enough light to keep things clear. Will keep you updated!

Disabled it, still not working. The GPU fans are working, yes.

Well the default is PCI Express, I just checked for reference, this is the screen I'm able to see (with some different other options, but the Primary Graphics Adapter is there too): ftp://europe.asrock.com/manual/Z77%20Extreme4.pdf (on p62)
