Hi Guys,

I did all that stuff...changed video cards. This is a dead motherboard I am pretty sure. The motherboard never beeped. It flashes codes but they are normal.

My main question now is what processor and motherboard to buy. Everything else is OK, new SSD. I don't need anything special for a video card. I generally like ASUS GigaByte also. The other thing was a bundle for around $300. I have not really started searching for the best deal.

The new i9 is faster than I can actually use. It does run BIAB a warp speed.

What I want to do is play my guitar, not work on this wayward computer...lol Redheaded step child it is becoming.
