    Question Monitor froze, went black, and now won't start back up

    Unfortunately not. After more troubleshooting it seems that my motherboard is faulty, however I suspect that this might be due to the PSU. I have currently sent the motherboard back and cannot really verify anything at the moment though unfortunately.

    [SOLVED] PC freezes almost instantly upon startup, or fails at connecting to the monitor

    Read the post above again, the 5 restarts that I did was with everything in place except the GPU which had been taken out. I have also tried putting the GPU into another PC and it has started up as intended.

    [SOLVED] PC freezes almost instantly upon startup, or fails at connecting to the monitor

    Alright, so I have an update and I hope someone can help me out a bit here. I managed to get a hold of a case speaker, and upon starting up the PC with everything hooked up there are no sounds from it. Following the following article on msi BIOS one beep indicates a successful system boot...

    [SOLVED] PC freezes almost instantly upon startup, or fails at connecting to the monitor

    The few times that the monitor actually gets a proper connection the PC tends to freeze within a few seconds. So there is really no way I can get into the BIOS nor update it unfortunately.

    [SOLVED] PC freezes almost instantly upon startup, or fails at connecting to the monitor

    Unfortunately I do not have a jumper cap as I did not get one with the motherboard. However, I've read somewhere online that you need to simply connect them and that you could for example use a flathead screwdriver for this, and I have done so in the past. I tried to do it again just now, and it...

    [SOLVED] PC freezes almost instantly upon startup, or fails at connecting to the monitor

    Forgot to mention that, but I have tried resetting the BIOS by unplugging the round battery from the motherboard. No change unfortunately. And no, as I said the monitor just lost connection to the PC so if there was an error code I could unfortunately not see it. EDIT: I also forgot to mention...

    [SOLVED] PC freezes almost instantly upon startup, or fails at connecting to the monitor

    Roughly a week ago my PC crashed while I was doing nothing particularly strenuous for the system. The image froze for a couple of seconds, and then the monitor lost its connection to the PC, however the PC was still running just the same as before. I waited a few minutes and then shut it off...

    Question Monitor froze, went black, and now won't start back up

    Alright, so I have a bit of an update on the situation. I successfully detached all of the cables and took the malfunctioning 650W PSU out of the system. I then put in the 500W PSU that I had in my old PC (which I double checked was still working by firing up the old PC earlier). The monitor did...

    Question Monitor froze, went black, and now won't start back up

    Thanks, I'll double check that the old PSU still works since my old PC is still intact beside having no OS. But if all looks good I know I can safely try changing them to see if I can make it work. Fortunately I have a warranty on the new PSU, so I really just need to verify whether that's the...

    Question Monitor froze, went black, and now won't start back up

    Yesterday evening my PC experienced an issue when the screen froze for a few seconds and then went black as the monitor seemed to lose connection to the PC. The PC was still running, so I shut it off manually through the power button. Upon restarting it, the problem persisted and I also noticed...

    Question Newly build PC lags on startup, audio "buzzing"

    I've tried opening up both separately and no software seems to be causing the issue unfortunately. The only thing that seems a bit off is that if I open up the task manager it starts with the CPU usage being quite high (Around 70%) within the first half second. It then sorts the list out showing...

    Question Newly build PC lags on startup, audio "buzzing"

    Yes, I reinstalled the OS on the new built after wiping the SSD through a secure erase. BIOS seems to be working fine (I have remained in there for 30 minutes or so at least), and it is updated. The way you explain installing the OS is the way I have previously done it, through a USB with a...

    Question Newly build PC lags on startup, audio "buzzing"

    Hopefully someone a bit more knowledgeable than me has an idea what might be causing this. I've recently purchased a new PC which I've assembled myself. Everything except my SSD is brand new since the SSD is only about 6 months old anyway. Upon starting up my PC in the morning i experience lag...
