Note: @MicO C I have merged your two threads together as they were both about the same machine and both had replies.
Please try to keep to one thread when its about the same thing :)
For future reference always keep the welcome box, or at least its contents, it will have any spares that came with your components eg SATA cables (for extra drives) that were not used in the build, and all the screws that came with the case, and often various other bits and pieces.
Yes I...
Yesterday it was posted on Twitter that the winner has had a message sent to them.
I've not seen or heard anything after that - admittedly I can never find anything on Twitter anyway - often with these things the winner has something like 30 days to respond - not sure if it was that for this...
Hi @edotruth,
These are the English forums where everything needs to be in English, if you need the Italian forums they are here: https://www.pcspecialist.it/forums/
Or if you can use English you are welcome to post here again
2nd hand machines are not denied support/ownership, its just the fact your friend didn't transfer the ownership/warranty and it does need to be done properly I'm afraid to prove its not stolen property
Many have successfully got warranty and ownership rights when buying 2nd hand - have seen it...
Afaik it's because without the ownership being transferred properly to you there is basically no proof that it just wasn't stolen (no, I'm not saying you stole it) - which is why the original owner has to transfer the ownership/warranty
Unfortunately the same applies to everyone here, including the mods, the mods are mostly just volunteers so we can only see and filter by what you can :(
Since its probably not a PCSpecialist system (the motherboard suggests it isn't) we cant really give any detailed replies I'm afraid.
But it should be able to take a normal SATA drive, given its age I highly suspect its wouldn't know what to do with an M.2 or NVMe
Swap the monitor cables round between the monitors, see if the problems switches to the other monitor - if so its probably the cable, if the problem stays with the monitor you are concerned about its not the cable
If its the one single monitor that it keeps happening to whether you have it as the main monitor or secondary monitor I'd definitely be suspecting the monitor - possibly the port you are using in said monitor or the monitor cable
Have you also tried using a different monitor cable from your...
The link that Spyder added has the 1000W,1200W and 1600W PSU's in it
There are only the home/office AMD configurator and the small form factor AMD configurator that I saw that didn't have those choices - was it one of those two places you were looking at?
All the other AMD configurators have...
Which configurator are you using?
I could happily spec up a machine with a 3090Ti and 1000W PSU (or 1200W) on at least a few of the configurators - once I'd picked a big enough case for it :)
If you are still unsure after reading IRLRobinS's response then:
Don't suppose you've got a link to the PC - I can never find the named PC's in th configurator - so if you have a link we can see whats actually in it
Also it may help if you could take a pic of the back of the PC for us
And to throw some more salt in AMD's wound, can now pre-order the Intel 13th gen!!!!

Scroll down the CPU dropdown
Think I'm going to wait til Jan/Feb ie once the Intels are out, things have settled down and there have been plenty of reviews and such :) (and Christmas is over and down with)
You will need to do a full clean install especially if there was some sort of virus, you'll need a USB drive (of at least 8GB in size)
You can download the installation media from here onto a USB drive: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10 (if its Win11 I'm sure there is...
