Hello everyone. As the title says, I need help with enabling dGPU support on my Acer motherboard. It has a pcie 3.0 x16 slot which I would like to use with a gtx 750ti I have laying around. However, upon booting it up with the dgpu, the bios tends to crash. It just freezes at the Acer splash screen and becomes unresponsive.

Upon further research, I discovered that everyone with my motherboard faced this issue. Apparently, it was just not possible because the bios happened to be some hybrid of a uefi and legacy bios which led to dgpus having a tough time figuring out whether they...

Re: Need help identifying the missing cap on the back of an i5 3570



I actually did not notice this earlier so thanks for that. I guess it would be better to just move on since this is the case....

Hey guys. I have an i5 3570 with a capacitor knocked off from the back of the cpu. I got it with a semi faulty mobo that I got for really cheap. The rest of the cpu is in a bad shape as well but its mainly cosmetic damages. I did try to run it and my test bench booted but the system never posted. It just got warm.

From the looks of it, I think the cpu can be revived by soldering on a new capacitor. However, no matter where I look online, I am unable to find any details about the capacitor or anything about the layout of those...

It works. Thanks a ton. However, it still takes a long time to POST. I could manage with that. All I had to do was flash the bios update file to solve that issue.

Really appreciate your effort. Cheers and have good year ahead!...

Hello everyone. As the title says, my bios is corrupted. I have already checked every other possible solution like ram position and reset cmos but nothing worked. I have no idea how or why it happened. The motherboard takes hours to POST. When it does POST, it gives 1 long beep and 2 short beeps. After some scavenging on other forums, I discovered that it had something to do with video output. Not sure what else is damaged in the bios but I managed to take a dump of the bios.

I wanted to reflash the bios chip with another dump from the net. Unfortunately, I could not find any for...
