tl;dr: Replacing the CMOS battery seems to have fixed it. Among the other issues my computer was having, on boot it displayed the time it was shut down instead of the current time, and Windows time would continuously fall behind despite me syncing it. I looked up that symptom and read that it...

Update: It seems to be booting but the graphics card doesn't turn on, because something probably related also happens when I'm in Windows. It doesn't seem to be related to being under load - it's equally likely to happen whether I'm gaming or browsing the Internet with a few tabs. Any music...

4790k, ASUS Z97 Pro, GTX 1070 I shut down and unplug my computer every evening, and in the morning it normally boots fine. But if I need to restart, it often just displays a black screen, without showing the ASUS logo first. When it's in this state, restarting it, shutting it off, or even...

I have an ethernet connection from my desktop to my Linksys AC5400 router, which is plugged into the Comcast-provided Cisco DPC3941B modem. Most of the time, my Internet is fine, but approximately once every 2 to 3 minutes I get a 15-to-30-second span of high (>300ms) ping. I've had two Comcast...

Sounds like that could be the problem, but it wasn't an issue before.

Until recently, I had a 1080p 60hz monitor and a GTX 770, and I had no problem with videos. I've recently upgraded to QHD 144hz and a 1070, and I'm happy with it, apart from this issue. When I play a video, there's some kind of rendering issue when there are several frames with small changes in...

i7-4790k, ASUS Z97-pro, GTX 770, Corsair 760 As the title says, my computer randomly turns off. Sometimes it reboots immediately by itself, sometimes it tries to reboot by itself then turns off again, and sometimes it stays shut off. In the latter case, it doesn't respond to the power button...

Also, if I was going to reapply thermal paste, would I need to remove the motherboard from my case to remove the cooler?

I've opened up my case and the CPU fan is definitely still spinning. I'll take another look at whether the cooler has gotten loose, though I don't think that it has. My CPU is not overclocked.

I've had my current computer for about a year and a half now, and until recently it worked fine. However, I moved recently, which may have bumped something, because now when I game it sometimes hits temperatures of 100 C, and shuts down my computer. Usually it restarts and runs normally...

Oops, I typo'd in the title, I have a 770, as I said in the post body. I take it there's no way to do this for the 770, either.

I have an EVGA GTX 770, and it's kind of loud even at the the lowest fan speed (1140 RPM, according to PrecisionX). I'd like the fans to shut off completely when the GPU temperature is low, but if I try to set the PrecisionX fan curve for my current GPU temperature below 35% for my current GPU...

I opened the case while the computer was on, and upon closer inspection it seemed that the beeping wasn't coming from the motherboard, it was coming from my mechanical hard drive. After removing power from it, the beeping stopped immediately and I haven't heard it since. I guess this means I...

It's beeping right now. The temperature is 49 C and the core speed varies between 4200 and 4400 Ghz.

I opened up the computer and pushed down on the cooler pins, and they seem to be in as much as they can be. It's still beeping.
