Few issues with my new build. wall of text

[PEPE_]

Hi all,

I have encounted so many issues with my new build, its really a headache.

First off,

When i was starting to build the computer everything went great to be honest.
But as soon as the pc started to run i've encountered more and more issues.

I'd say my first big issue was with my AOC G2460PF FreeSync screen..
It happend when i put the monitor hz above 100hz.
On the new drivers, 15.11 and 15.12 i had horizontal white black artifacts.. i honesly thought my monitor/gpu was dying..
Or rather horinzontal lines flickering, i used to have a black screen while gaming followed by no signal, however this seems to be have fixed by the monitor driver update, since the black screen issue hasn't appeared in a week or so after the monitor driver update. i tried with my led television, i i i thought the issue was fixed.. but no, it re-appeared on there aswell. on the HDMI cable.. which were probably the drivers again.. 15.12 and 15.11 are not usable for me.

Example of the issue i had on crimson drivers.

posted this on AMD forums aswell..

Also a big post about my monitor on overclockers...

I did notice artifacts in 1 week in dota 2, which are probably driver related...
I was pretty pissed and dissapointed at this stage, regarding my monitor and freesync.. wish i went with gsync and nvidia instead. :'(


Literally the problems did NOT stop for me.
After updating my Asus rampage v extreme to its latest bios,my gpu did not show up anymore in the bios as vga slot. it does detect it as second slot in the bios, not in the first slot.. it used to show up, but for some reason, its gone. i have reseated it, no avail.


When i woke up and booted the machine up once again, i could not boot into windows. i had a black screen, followed by bios code F6 and 61,pulled out 2 ram sticks, and it booted, tested each module with one stick, and noone was faulty. put them all back in, and it booted again..?:hmm::hmm:
I posted this on the rog forums, and someone had the same issue, and told me "Add alittle vcore, cha/chb and your eventual voltages, plug in your ram setting manually, also try adjusting system agent."

Have not done this yet, havent encountered the issue yet.



After i have done the ram tests and the gpu reseating back to slot 1.
I had another issue...

Whenever i went into game, with my headset, it hear static noise now...
Even on my monitor speakers i hear very rough static noise.. less on the headphones though... only happens on the headphones when im in game.. not on desktop use.. this is all so odd. it did not happen before..


Rival 300 cursor skipping
Ducky shine 3 TKL A W D keys sometimes not responding in game ( need to repress the )
Is this bad luck or what?
Like everything is brand new, except the motherboard was refurbished.
This is prolly on my end most of it. except a few things..

Sorry for the long wall of text...but what do i do at this point? take the system apart? test it outside the case?

Thanks for reading.

Agreed.

Agreed.

What should i say in the email to asus?
I'm not sure what to say, im already waiting on a email from asus, saying the first GPU slot is not being detected in the bios anymore. it used to be with the previous bios.
Technically nothing is defective.

Next time, list all your rig parts first. Second, you say this is a refurbed board. Many times that is someone else's problem board that Asus just passed along to you. With all your issues I'd say it points to the board. I wouldn't accept one slot (memory, expansion) or sound/graphics issue if the board was under warranty. When I was having issues with my latest Asus mobo I just called them up. I had already done my troubleshooting before I did so. I would just make sure that you've tested your parts on another working system (if possible) to rule them out. If it's not too late you could also return the mobo to the seller if it's under 30 days.

This. Asus refurb mobos at Newegg seem to get consistently bad reviews. Then again, so do more popular motherboards, a lot of newbs building PCs on Newegg, and they seem to concentrate on the more "well known" boards. But the reviews from people that claim to have been building PCs for a long time, and know how to troubleshoot, and the board is quite simply just bad, I tend to put more stock in those sorts of reviews.

Btw, in the last few days, I looked up a product on Newegg, and the reviews no longer show "tech level" next to the reviewer. I think that's a loss. As self-selecting as those ratings were, they were a rough guideline on whether or not the reviewer sort of knew what they were doing.

The problem is that anyone can say they are an expert. I suppose it hurts their sale when techies pan a product.
