So, I asked my brother if I could borrow his motherboard just to test things out, and everything worked perfectly. Now I know I definitely need to buy one myself... but before I pull the trigger, I wanted to get your take: what do you guys think about this board?
Here’s the link:
Is this one actually more powerful than the: MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk?

I've already given that a shot, but I'm still getting the same result. It starts up for about two seconds and then just dies...

I tried swapping in a different power supply, but I'm still hitting the same wall... honestly, I'm starting to think the motherboard is the culprit, but I wanted to see if anyone else had any thoughts before I give up on it...

Hey everyone, I just finished building my second PC and I've run into a bit of a snag...
So, here’s the deal. When I plug everything in, nothing happens. There's no power LED lighting up or anything to show it's getting juice... absolutely nothing. Then, when I hit the power button a few times, it tries to kick on, but then it just shuts itself right back down after maybe two or three seconds. That's it. If anyone has any idea what might be causing this, please let me know! Thanks! 🙂

There are so many different classifications for various types of cables within the tariff schedule that you won't know for certain until the shipment actually hits the port.

Then there is the freight forwarder's service fee, which would be your third major expense, though that really just depends entirely on which logistics company you decide to hire.

Jane Doe, thanks for the help... 🙂

I honestly can't figure out how much this is all going to cost me... could someone help me out?
Here’s the breakdown:
For example,
350 iPhone USB cables.
The price is $233
If anyone could just run the numbers for me on what the customs, sales tax, and everything else would end up being...
