LP Migration into Rewards Accounts
Macsusc posted a blog entry in PC Giveaway Community's News & Updates
Hi everyone, A quick update, you may have seen some changes in your account related to your Lucky Point count. We have just finalised a migration where every Lucky Point from each subscription was added to your Rewards Account balance. This is in an effort to prepare our system to be easier to verify by a third party which we are considering as we want our trust, verification and transparency to be as well done as possible. Now Lucky Points are all in account balances rather than subscriptions, however if a subscription is not yet connected to a user, that subscription's points will still count in the wheel as well under the Stripe or Paypal email. We still have twitch account balance next to the rewards account, which may also get migrated shortly. You can still see how many LP you obtained through each subscription and manage those subscriptions seperately in the dashboard and LP earned through Twitch will also still be trackable. Once we find confirm the correct solution for us to be able to make sure LP is completely transparent, verifiable and untamperable, we will announce it. We are considering solutions on the block chain due to public visibility and decentralisation of the giveaway. No, this does not mean we are turning LP into a crypto currency, instead we are looking to utilise block chain technology for it's valuable purpose of turning something like a giveaway into a permanent non fungible document on the chain which describes what was given away, when it was given away and to whom it was given away to, who was in the giveaway and with how many entries. All while being totally traceable by anyone, ensuring everything is done fairly. To our members - thank you so much for your support as we progress on this journey, our Formula 1 Black Box Computer is around the corner and it's going to be a huge turning point for us once it's done as we've gone as far as designing our own power supply due to size and wattage constraints for the system, the case is also designed by us and is being professionally made in a factory. We have designed it in a way which allows us to carve 3D high definition custom designs into every side of the computer with our own CNC machine we purchased last year. This 3 Litre power house is going to be something really special and I can't wait to share it with you all. Please take some time to take a look at a recap of the last 3 iterations of the Black Box. Iteration 1 : Iteration 2 : Iteration 3 : -

So, I just wanted to update and say thank you. I started the new season of Diablo 4 yesterday and coming from only playing on console the difference with the PC you built is OMG. I'm already at 200 paragon. It's beautiful, fast, and quiet! Thank you again for all the hard work everyone there does!

Hello everyone, I'm genuinely puzzled by this situation. The PC had been assembled and running smoothly for quite some time before I entered the BIOS to adjust a few settings, including enabling XMP—all with the side panel secured in place. During the build video for this PC there is a point where I talk about the clearance between the CPU cooler and the side panel. It's possible that some shifting occurred during transit, which may have affected the internal components. The case itself could have sustained some deformation from being laid on its side or from the weight of items placed atop it. Please check out the link below to the build video to refer back to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFc2I5plKw8 @Cat_Dad8311 — I'm delighted to hear it's up and running for you now. Please enjoy this gift from all of us at The Crimson Market, and thank you for your continued membership -

Yep as soon as I can I'll go and pay the 70 something for the labor and pick it up probably be a few days not feeling very well has been a pretty crappy birthday and look at how I can set it on my desk and make sure kitty cats don't want to try and reach in the case since it won't have that panel on it -

@AlmightyWaffles hey I thought you tested the clearance and I remember in the youtube build video it had about 3mm? Is it possible the side panel was bent during shipping or something like this? either way, it's good that it works! Happy to cover the cost of the inspection 🙂 Now you finally have a PC! -

Okay so they called back he finally got it to boot up after taking it apart he says he can get it to work he has to get the cooler back on says the lroblem.is the case is too small with the cooler so when the side panel is on it presses the cooler fan and it keeps upsetting the ram so her said he may be able to get it to where its not bent and works but wont be able to put a side panel on it and ge will call m2 back when they are done done with cost and ect -

Now it has a boot light and the ram light on just the one stick of ram in it after trying all of it I'm really afraid I'm just going to make it worse now I have another light I'm just gonna stop maybe one day when and if I ever get healthy and can work again I'll take it to like a best buy geek squad but if I keep touching it it will get worse everything I touch does -

I 100% agree with @Macsuscassumptions. Those are the exact steps I would undertake to try to rectify this issue. @Cat_Dad8311Honestly mate, there's no need to worry. Nothing on a PC can't be repaired or replaced. Sometimes it takes a few steps to ascertain the exact issue, but we will figure it out and get this PC going for you. -

If the above does not work. Then we do this Do This Exactly Step 1: Download Latest BIOS On another computer: Go to Gigabyte support page for B850 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 Download latest BIOS Extract file Rename BIOS file to: GIGABYTE.bin (Required for Q-Flash Plus) Step 2: Prepare USB Format USB to FAT32 Copy only the renamed BIOS file to root Step 3: Flash BIOS Turn PC off Leave PSU plugged in and switched ON Insert USB into the white Q-Flash USB port (rear I/O) Press the Q-Flash Plus button The small LED should start blinking. Do NOT interrupt. Wait until blinking stops completely. Step 4: After Flash Completes Clear CMOS again Install one RAM stick in A2 Boot Since the computer was booting before, what may have happened is during your windows update, you either had the PC turn off due to a power surge or someone turned it off or it corrupted the BIOS for some othe reason. If we re install the bios and clear the cmos and it still does not run, I think we need to get either a new CPU or new ram sticks. -

Macsusc replied to Cat_Dad8311's topic in PC Giveaway Community's Build & Technical Help
Install just ONE stick in A2, second from the CPU cooler. While the PC is off. Then boot it up, send a pic of the motherboard at this time. If it doesn't boot, use the other ram stick in A2.
