Hello tom's Hardware forums, I recently bought a used SSD for my PC. Its a SK Hynix PC300 NVMe 256GB Everything was fine at first with the SSD at first. CDI showed health at 99% and read and write speeds were normal. however my pc started to randomly freeze and reboot and when I downloaded...

As the title says, Ive been having an issue where my pc would randomly turn on and off by itself even if it was previously shut down. It won't even POST just ON for 2-3 sec, off for 2-3 SEC and repeat. After some testing I thought why not try and remove the power switch and just short it with a...

Second Update: Event Viewer gives these two somewhat worrying messages.

It doesn't boot to windows. It just turns on for 4-5 seconds. then shuts off and on again. nothing even comes up on the screen. Last time I updated the grpahics card drivers was 5 months ago. Installed from Nvidia geforce app UPDATE: I managed to turn on the pc. I had previously switched off...

Hello, yesterday I started having a weird issue. Suddenly in the middle of the night my PC booted up (it was shutdown not on sleep mode) and started a weird restart loop where it would power up for 4-5 seconds, power off for 1-2 seconds and so on... I had to switch off the PSU or it wouldn't...

I actually did try a different PSU at a local pc shop, it was a Corsair 1000w psu and the problems still occurred before so I doubt it's a PSU issue. I disabled XMP profile and the system has been running stable but the memory clock is 2133 which I don't like. Could this be a problem with ryzen...

I did install them in the recommended way (channels 1 and 2) and they are also the same kit so they should work together. I tested the second stick and I already have 11 errors (10 in test 6 and 1 in 8) so im guessing that stick is bad. I'll have to contact the store then. If you could please...

Can you clarify what you mean by incompatible? Like with my motherboard or what?

Like 2 hours ago, and I did it twice. Also update: I'm now testing each ram stick alone and the first stick worked with no problems. I'm now going to test the other one. I heard of a problem in faulty cpus where they can't run RAM in dual channel so my guess either there's a problem with the...

My fault, I don't think they are an issue since i checked my hard drives' health and tried a different psu but they are: WD 1TB HDD Kingston 128GB SSD And Seasonic 520w S12II

Hello all, Recently my pc was having random freezing issues and I changed my CPU, RAM and Motherboard to help fix them but every time i change a part that i think is the issue, another issue comes up. I attached two photos for a test i just ran My OLD pc specs: CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 RAM: Team Dark...

Apparently this means they're not working properly? But I checked the RAM and it was working fine. Im very confused.

Another Update: i tried reinstalling windows again, it just shuts off, no error this time. However, i noticed something. The motherboard has 4 LED lights for BOOT, CPU, RAM, GPU. When the pc shuts off, the RAM and CPU lights both start blinking in alternating intervals

Hello, Previous motherboard was Gigabyte AB350M- GAMING 3. I have the Seasonic S12II 520W 80+ bronze PSU. It has been with me since February 2018 so a little over 2.5 years. I left the BIOS open for an hour and it didn't close, and memtest for 4 hours. The longest time i was in windows before...

Hello, I recently changed my motherboard to a new one after encountering boot problems with my last one. After installing it, i booted it up windows only for it to shut off 1 minute later. This happened a few more times with different times before it shuts off, and in one occasion it restarted...
