Monitor doesn't turn off when the computer reboots and monitor is plugged into the same surge protector, so I don't think it's that. Could be a bad port on the surge protector though I guess.

I believe I have switched power cables but I'll try that today. I'll remove the surge protector to see if that makes a difference too.

Thanks for the replies. I read them when posted but I'm still working on resolving this issue and trying things. I've tried: -jiggling all the cords -tapping all over the case, by the power button, by the motherboard rear IO buttons -looked all through case for loose connections, misaligned...

I've had an Ncase v6.1 since February, and it reboots when bumped. If I lean over or bump the case, it reboots. I've rebuilt my computer several times (rewiring, cleaning) since building this machine and even replaced my power supply but it still does this. My components are all good quality and...

This is a great analysis, I appreciate it. I've found that Newegg component reviews in general tend to be unusually negative and problematic. I'm not sure why, but if you cross-check almost any item on Newegg versus every other website, the Newegg reviews tend to be the most negative or having...

Yea I agree with the not running card at 8x. It doesn't really affect today's GPU's (according to analysis by Gamers Nexus) but I also tend to keep my gaming rigs for 4-6 years and upgrade the video card during that time. Who knows what GPU's in that time frame will or won't be affected by...

I emailed Sliger and they responded the ASRock X570 board also does bifurcation, but unfortunately that board has bad reviews, too. I think I’m going to give up on bifurcation for now and either use something like what W4RR10R posted, or find another solution. There are a few USB wireless cards...

That is very interesting... Have you used the Gigabyte X570i motherboard? It has very mixed reviews on both Amazon and Newegg, which makes me hesitant to try it. In fact the only high end AMD board I’m seeing with decent reviews seems to be the Strix x570i.

Checkout this two-part review too. It covers both cases as well as the Sliger SM550 and SM560.. Part 1: https://smallformfactor.net/reviews/battle-of-the-boutiques-part-1-a4-sfx-s1-sm550-sm560/ Part 2: https://smallformfactor.net/other/battle-of-the-boutiques-part-2-a4-sfx-s1-sm550-sm560/

Unfortunately it seems that board has very mixed reviews on both Newegg and Amazon. Are there any other X570/X470/B450 motherboards that support bifurcation?

Is there a list of motherboards that support bifurcation? Specifically X570 or alternative AM4 chipset motherboards? I've looked through a few motherboard manuals and don't see this option specifically listed. I have a challenging wireless environment in my house, and no easy way to run ethernet...
