Ensure power cable is fully plugged into monitor and power strip/wall outlet, hook up and ensure psu power cable is hooked up fully to psu and in wall or powrr strip. ensure monitor cable is hooked up to your monitor fully and set to correct video input. Hook up the keyboard and mouse using the usb ports closest to the ps2 port. Theres no signal to the monitor, either from the GPU or the iGPU. Ensure atx, eps 12v (at top of mobo towards rear) hooked to mobo, then pcie power is hooked up to gpu properly. Of the status LEDs on the motherboard, the DRAM LED is lit green, the CPU LED is lit red, and the GPU/Boot Device LEDs are off. clear the cmos using the jumper (read your manual), put jumper back in its spot, apply tim to the cpu and reattach heatsink to cpu mount bracket and fan to cpu header. Disconnect power totally, ensure ram is in slots 2 and 4 from left to right, ensure to shove gpu into pcie x16_1 fully seated, hook up a monitor closest to the screw side if the pci bracket. Since the socket lays on 1 side and the latch bar is closer to the pcie socket, the tip of the latch bar faces left, ensure when you insert the cpu the letters are closer to the ram and not up and down on the mobo.

I use soft, lint-free paper towels and q-tips dipped in high-purity isopropanol alcohol to clean, and then apply a drop of new heatpaste onto the middle of the CPU, at least the size of a large grain of rice. So i'd then clean it 100% and then apply new heatpaste. Finally, how to do it properly once it all works: Clean the CPU heatspreader and the cooler base, because when you re-use old heatpaste, there can be trapped air bubbles which could lead to overheating. For further testing, you can put the cooler back on without replacing the heatpaste. Read here for example, it's more common than people think.Īnyway, if the pins are all perfectly aligned, you can put the CPU back in. If different kits of RAM are not working at all, it could be that you accidentally bent some pins during CPU installation. A lot of the pins on the right side of the socket go straight to the memory slots, since the CPU houses the memory controller (IMC). If the pads under the CPU and some pins of the socket don't make proper contact, you can have all kinds of problems. ![]() Check very carefully (with a magnifying glass, if possible) if all the pins look exactly the same, in position and in height. Take out the CPU and carefully inspect the underside and the socket for any bent pins, foreign objects, dirt, or other abnormalities. So I tried my friends Athlon X2 CPU, but it still wouldn't boot and the CPU led was still. I assumed the CPU had died, since I OC'ed it when it was already factory OC'd. The CPU led on the mobo was lighting red. Normally i would suggest to update the BIOS using the Flash BIOS Button, but none of the ♚TX (micro-ATX) B660 boards have that feature.

A comment on one of your posts might get pushed to your phone, but the 20th “like” on that post might not result in a buzz in your pocket.

Lymph nodes become swollen when they are actively fighting infection and illness. It can be helpful to know where your lymph nodes are located to get ahead of potentially serious ailments. Paying close attention to swelling in your nodes is important as swelling indicates that your body is dealing with sickness. Symptoms that are commonly associated with lymph node swelling include: You can check for lymph node swelling by gently pressing over areas with clusters, such as the sides of your neck or around your armpit. Lymph nodes largely go unnoticed until they are enlarged or swollen due to them trying to fight infection and illness. Lymph nodes are found in the following five areas of the body in clusters: They play a major role in our ability to fight infection and disease. Sometimes referred to as lymph glands, their job is to collect and drain fluid from our tissues. Lymph nodes are small, kidney bean-shaped structures.

Today is a new recommendation of a comic you should totally consider reading. They should reach out to people beyond the choir like the many popular young adult blogs and sites that’ll love a series like this. It shouldn’t rely on just the comics sites since they cater to people who are already reading comics. I’m not sure what DC is doing in terms of its marketing but they should really direct this book to the young adult community. Is this ghost Millie Jane Cobblepot and if not, who?.What’s up with that Le Morte d’Arthur? How will Cloonan and Fletcher use the King Arthur lore in their storytelling?.Batman seems to be the curtain Olive is too frightened to pull and I wonder what’ll happen when Olive finally decides to get close to the source of her truth.It marks a rich time in our lives where we’re caught between dependence and independence. At the end of the day, Gotham Academy is about the perception of teenagers as they wade through what defines them and what doesn’t. Mental illness is not only a great topic to tackle because of the stigma surrounding it but I think mental illness is a great vehicle for exploring yourself as a person in terms of perceiving the world. The writers are also alluding to Olive having her own relationship with mental illness and the supernatural through her fear of being like her mother and being able to relate to Millie Jane Cobblepot via her diary. This isn’t a new comparison since mental illness in the past was often explained away as the work of the devil and/or the supernatural. Mental illness is woven throughout the series so far with Olive’s mother and Millie Jane Cobblepot but their inferred mental illness can also be read as supernatural abilities. The first issue is stronger than the latest two but the series is doing some interesting stuff through the themes they seem to be circling. I’m aware of Cloonan through her self-published comics but this is my introduction to Fletcher. In regards to the writing, I think Becky Cloonan and Brenden Fletcher are still in the beginnings of finding their groove with this series. “If we want the truth, we have to get as close to the source as possible.” Karl Kerschl is a fantastic artist and Geyser’s colouring deserves a nod as well. ![]() The oranges and pinks in these panels pop against the black background like the fire burning within the story and it creates the illusion of being able to grab the panels in your hand like you would with loose matches. The reason I chose this page among other great layouts is due to its simplicity and the way the panels are shaped like matches. The second example is from issue #2: In Issue #2 It offers a look at the characters we’ll be seeing throughout the series and we’re also given the first glimpses into Olive’s inner thoughts. I thought this layout was fantastic because we’re given an establishing shot of our primary location: the school. I have two examples of these great layouts and the first is found in issue #1 as a two page spread: Two Page Spread in Issue #1 The page layouts are probably my favourite thing about this comic because they’re visually exciting which is fantastic for the younger demographic it’s targeting. An IGN review of the first issue said it felt more like “an animated television show than a conventional comic” and I completely agree. This sounds great and the art mirrors the youthful audience with brighter colours than we’re use to in a DC title while still maintaining the eerie feel of Gotham. What makes this interesting is that our protagonist is keeping a secret from us (the readers), her friend is the sister of her ex-boyfriend (but not really ex-boyfriend) and it all takes place in Batman’s city. The series has the hallmarks of a young adult story: a protagonist who feels she doesn’t belong, a friend she can go on adventures with, boy troubles, and a boarding school (young adult gold!). It follows Olive Silverlock, a sophomore at the prestigious boarding school, Gotham Academy, who’s experienced something traumatic the previous summer that’s connected to Batman. Of course we have the current run of Batgirl too, but Gotham Academy is a new series with all new characters and it’s outside the influence of DC’s other titles. Gotham Academy is what I like to call DC’s way in with the young adult readership. Gotham Academy Becky Cloonan and Brendan Fletcher ![]() |
