    *** Car Wash / Valet / Detailing Thread ***

    I got some bramble scratches. What's the best product and technique to remove them? I can rub them out with a nice cloth and they do sort of disappear / blend in for a while but then return. Do I just need a magic pen or something like this: Back in the days it was T-Cut but what's...

    Smaller Scale / Room Based Powerwall

    I have 5KW of solar panels, which I know I am not using to capacity in the day (sometimes). I like the idea of powerwalls where the panels charge up a battery and that is then used to power the house at night. But the costs are silly at the moment and before going that route I would rather wait...

    The oldskool rave music (early 90s) thread

    Ok, I managed to work this out. I remember Pete Tong's Essential Selection played it with the adjacent track being TC 1991's Berry. Using this site: https://sbradyman.angelfire.com/ess-selection.htm I went through every playlist starting at 1991 until I found TC 1991. In the Pete Tong -...

    The oldskool rave music (early 90s) thread

    I asked this a good few years ago but can't find it :) ANSWERED: See reply Can anyone remember the name / artist of a track from the around 90/91 that sampled Cat On A Hot Tin Roof? Sample: "Give me another bottle" "Yes sir I want liquor that bad" "turns the hot light off, and the cool one...

    Chip and Scratches Revealed After Car Cleaning? (Not Self Made)

    No buckets used - just the foamer and powerjet. The chamois was used for drying. If that was the cause then surely there would be more than one mark and it would have been a different shape. Rather than a long straight line the chamois was used in a shorter arc motion. The paint chip looks...

    Chip and Scratches Revealed After Car Cleaning? (Not Self Made)

    I picked up a nice E-Pace back in March. It was 1 1/2 years old, 3K on the clock and bought direct from a JLR dealer. The car was immaculate. I went over it very finely at the time, and for a couple months I still checked it because I could not belive it had no marks on it. No chips, dings...

    15-11600KF Z590 UD AC Fails to boot - Stuck on VGA LED

    Here's how ASUS do it: "CSM settings have been changed for better compatability" Gigabyte just say the card is not compatible so you need to go into the catch 22 BIOS to enable CSM, Asus detect there is an issue and just do it for you!

    15-11600KF Z590 UD AC Fails to boot - Stuck on VGA LED

    I have had a reply back from Gigabyte. "Z590 motherboard CSM Support option is disabled by default in BIOS. The graphics card you have does not support UEFI (GOP) booting, therefore the video card cannot be recognised and have the 5 beeps error. You can also ask the graphics card manufacturer...

    15-11600KF Z590 UD AC Fails to boot - Stuck on VGA LED

    I can't believe my luck. Rig working great all day then 8:30 tonight we get quick succession power cuts. Off / On ... Off ... On. Off for half hour. When I went back to the rig it would not boot. Presuming the BIOS has reset back to CSM disabled I then go through that whole rigmarole of using...

    15-11600KF Z590 UD AC Fails to boot - Stuck on VGA LED

    Finally I have the solution: TLDR; ENABLE CSM in the BIOS Longer Report This was a complete pain, and has cost me £250 in extra notes - wasted. More than that I spent 3 days on this with unsuccessful help from Gigabyte and not much research material on t'internet. In the end, it was a...

    15-11600KF Z590 UD AC Fails to boot - Stuck on VGA LED

    Easily done when you have been trying to get the rig going after two days. Mrs nagging about the mess, the cost and such. In the old days, when the pins were on the chips you could easily be more careful because they were stronger, and you could just remove the chip and place it on a foam pad...

    Bent pins. Should be easy to fix but an annoying inconvenience none the less.

    15-11600KF Z590 UD AC Fails to boot - Stuck on VGA LED

    *** Success *** Well looky here. I put in a G6400, remove the GFX card, and ... it boots to the iGPU. Will update with conclusion later. But at this moment in time I am not happy with Gigabyte, after having uneccesarily spent £250 and trashing a motherboard.

    15-11600KF Z590 UD AC Fails to boot - Stuck on VGA LED

    Colin. I tried one of the 2x4 in the 1x4. No joy. Gigabyte support say only the 2x4 are needed anyway. Journey. Got the T-shirt on all those. The rig is now currently naked and I got it hooked up to an old Belinea monitor with VGA cable, after having tried HDMI, DPORT. As for running it...

    15-11600KF Z590 UD AC Fails to boot - Stuck on VGA LED

    Ok, I have now tried this in a new Z590 Gaming X. I have exactly the same fault. * No display on the screen * Red LED stays on VGA * 5 short beeps I guess it is the CPU then.

    15-11600KF Z590 UD AC Fails to boot - Stuck on VGA LED

    Hmm. Of course there are pins in there - in the socket. I just zoomed in with the camera and there is a bent pin. I must have done that myself at sometime, somehow whilst swapping the coolers and reseating. Gutted. I doubt I can RMA this now. Maybe it still has an inherent fault, maybe it has...

    15-11600KF Z590 UD AC Fails to boot - Stuck on VGA LED

    Yes, not possible to get into bios. No screen at all. Let me make sure I have not done something stupid with the CPU. It's a socket LGA 1200 so: * There are no pins that can be bent * It is not possible to insert the wrong way because of the two offset notches * It is not possible to crush...

    15-11600KF Z590 UD AC Fails to boot - Stuck on VGA LED

    I logged a call with gigabyte support. They state: 1. The "Initial Display Output" default setting in BIOS sets the graphics card on the PCIEX16 slot as the first display. and 2. It should be fine to connect ATX_12V 8-pin only. Additional 4-pin connector is mainly for power compensation...

    15-11600KF Z590 UD AC Fails to boot - Stuck on VGA LED

    Thanks for the pointers. Danny, I have tried the other pcie slot. It's now out of the case on the bench and still the same. orbitalwalsh, that makes sense but the manaul does not. It does not say you have to have the extra EPS connector specifically in that there is no text "this motherboard...
