All good. I had the same issue with a 3rd video card (RX6500XT) and I'm pretty sure it's actually the monitor, as I'm just testing the PC now with the RX6500XT card on a different monitor and it's stable. So issue resolved.

Hi I recently bought a 2nd hand GTX1660 Super video card. Now it works - sort of. I first discovered a problem (that I wasn't told about - I bought the card in good faith) when entering the BIOS. After 2 seconds the screen would go black then display again. I installed Linux Mint as a test to...

Thanks guys. I'll get rid of them. My local waste disposal centre takes e-waste for free. A drive for me next week. @littlepony - thanks but I don't know enough about electronic repairs so to e-scrap they go

Hi I have 2 faulty Corsair PSUs. I'm using a $10 power supply tester that has been shown to work with another working PSU. One PSU is an AX850 Gold and the other a TX850. The AX850 does not fire up the tester at all. No fan, nothing. Whereas the TX850 will start up the tester, but fail after...

Hey @helpstar thank you for your reply. I managed to get the PC going long enough to install Win11 and updates. BUT after about an hour the screen started flicking on and off again. This video card is a 2nd hand card that I bought off FB Marketplace (Quadro K2200). So I installed the original...

Hi After some advice on what to do next. Bought a 2nd hand Lenovo ThinkStation P710 PC from a highly rated ebay seller. PC boots up, but when I get into the BIOS by pressing the F1 key, the display will show for a second, then disappear 1 second , then show, then disappear etc. You get the...

Hi everyone I'm mucking around with 2 Xeon multicore CPUs and a Chinese ZX-DU99D4 v1.3 motherboard. Chipset is X99. Problem I'm having is getting my SAS controller card recognized before the PC POSTs into its BIOS. There are 2 PCIe x16 slots on this board. I can get a display when my Dell RTX...

UPDATE: Asus Australia have provided me with an RMA number for me to return the board for repair/replacement.

Thanks Mike. I think I've narrowed down the problem a little bit more. IF I switch off the power at the mains going to the PSU or switch the rocker switch at the back of the PSU for at least 5-10 seconds, then switch the power back on, the PC will start. If I then shut down the PC from Win10...

Quck q: can an old PSU (ATX 2.0) not work properly with the latest motherboards? Coz I keep coming back to PSU issues. I can boot up, shutdown, boot up, shutdown, and then no response from the power button.

Hey I'm still having some issues with this board. I've decided to continue this thread rather than start a new one. So, I installed the said board into a case. Same CPU (Ryzen 7 7700X) and 96GB RAM. Video card was a GT1030 from another PC that I had bought a week ago. Board beeps like it's...

All good. I get what you're saying. I have a brand name PSU to go into the system. Plus I managed to "fix" that slow POST. Updated the BIOS and it's much better. I guess initially I was too impatient and expected the board to POST after 3-5 seconds.

Ok sorry. I'll list what I know... CPU - Ryzen 7 7700X CPU cooler - AMD RGB stock cooler. Motherboard - ASUS B650M-A WIFI II RAM - Crucial 2x24GB DDR5 PRO series (two sets to 96GB total) https://www.crucial.com/memory/ddr5/cp2k24g60c48u5 HDD: Seagate 500GB GPU: GTX1050Ti PSU: Generic 500W PSU...

Hi Just testing a new system on one of those cheapie test benches off of ebay. :) Motherboard is an ASUS B650M-A WIFI II socket AM5. CPU is a Ryzen 7 7700X. ASUS website says CPU is compatible...

Update 2 Received the Opteron 4122 CPU and installed it. Sadly, board still refuses to POST. Not sure what to do now. I contacted the ebay seller to see if they actually tested the board before sale. My guess is that they didn't. I will wait and see how they reply. EDIT: ebay seller states that...
