Well, took everything apart... Motherboard had burn marks around the vrm's, so bye bye. Everything else looked good though. I'll have to change the psu as well for good measure I guess. It will be fun looking for a z170/z270 board lol

Friend told me that he got another random blue screen while playing football manager last night. He will bring the pc over to my house so that I can have a look at all the components. At this point, with the availability in psus being so limited, I'm thinking of getting a 450/500w bronze rated...

Thank you for the thorough reply! I won't be able to be at my friend's house again soon due to the lockdown but I will make sure to take it apart and look for blown capacitors. I will post any update as soon as possible.

Hello there, This is a rig I built back in 2015 and I have given to a friend to use a month ago. I know they had spring cleaning the day before but that shouldn't matter as it had worked perfectly for many hours before this happened. Note that they have many devices on the same power line, so...

So I kind of isolated the issue to gpu and psu. Thing is this very bizarre reaction can only be triggered with specific software or should I say renderer. By using megamix lav filters pack, and setting up as: Potplayer Madvr renderer with 4k profile Lav video decoder, using nvidia vivid...

Final attempt at finding help: disabled hardware acceleration for HEVC, loading the CPU, alternating between window mode and full screen: https://vocaroo.com/dwlzrjzvaob re-enabled hardware acceleration for HEVC, loading the GPU, alternating between window mode and full screen...

Ok, last thing I can do to demonstrate the issue. Hoping for the right person to see this and provide an answer: (kindly turn up your volume) View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMfTrvrAid0&feature=youtu.be

I'm running the msi overclocking scanner right now and I think I hear what seems to be the same noise but at lot lower level. Also it comes at short intervals instead of continuous. Any thoughts? Edit: seems there two different noises as well. One is like a high pitched buzz or mechanical hd...

Hello Tom's, I need your help! I don't know if the GPU is the culprit in this case but most evidence point to it so I'm posting here. This is a new rig recently built, specs are below: Cpu: Intel 10900K (SP 81) Mobo: Asus Maximus Apex XII GPU: Asus tuf 3080 OS drive: 970 Evo Plus nvme 500GB...

I usually spend around 2.5k for a full build. This year it seems I will have to go a bit beyond that maybe around 3k. Imagine that 10900k + asus apex + gtx 3080 will be around 1800 Euros (retail prices) alone... That is if I can find them in stock once I decide to bite the bullet.

Ouch... Amd must be using Intel CPUs in their servers I guess:sneaky:

Razer quality assurance sucks imho. I have purchased 2 black widow keyboards 3-4 years apart, and both have issues with their switches like key presses not registering. No matter what anyone tells me about razer I'm not touching any of their products again. Also they have shills leaving positive...

yeah, it was a lot simpler than that actually. The power switch was broken, I have no idea how, because it was working 10 minutes before the dusting. Anyway I'm using the reset button now to switch it on.

hm alright thanks for the info. The psu fan had already stopped working before the dust cleaning though. But I guess it might have affected the case and mobo fans. So removing the fan connectors and trying to power it on is worth a try?
