Thanks for the advice. I've actually already changed the cable but it seems to me it got even worse. Maybe the cable is still not properly inside but I already tried so much

Hello. Is it safe to do what I'm doing in the second picture? This is what my PPU socket looks like: And this is what it looks like now to make sure the cable doesnt fall out (probably doesnt even work): Is this safe? Will it get hot?

Can't even add tags after I posted. I hope someone sees this

As it turns out what I did in https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/cant-plug-in-power-cable.3678684/ to my PPU socket had consequences. The PPU cable always slides out and the computer repeatedly loses power. Every time I adjust the cable, I can hear electric sparks. Is this bad? I can still...

@kanewolf I do have a graphics card: 07:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Picasso (rev d9) Do you need more info? By the way, it always blinks even if the computer is off. It only stops when I turn the thing entirely off with the power switch on the back.

@Master Djoza just in case the mention didn't work.

What is the meaning of this yellow light inside my computer's tower? View: https://i.imgur.com/tzF3wEp.png It is blinking constantly and it's basically been there since I got the computer. It blinks slowly though. Is it maybe related to a WIFI PCIe card or something?

Oh, that actually sounds like a good idea. Are you sure it will work and it won't be broken?

It's actually a rare 14-pin VGA port and I can't find any adapter for it at all.

You are right. That is actually a 14-pin VGA port and it's almost impossible to find any adapter for it.

Thank you. Custom video port? Don't you think it's VGA or something? It looks similar to me at least. Eventually I want to get an adapter so that I can see the computer's output without the CRT monitor that isn't really working. Perhaps I could get an adapter for the serial port? Note that...

Yes, I heard hard drive noises and fan spinning noises and stuff like that. I've let it run for a while when I tried to get the monitor to work so I expect that the computer was already at some kind of login screen but nothing showed up. Unfortunately I don't have such cable and I've been told...

What are the technical names of each of these 4 sockets on this old computer from like 1990? View: https://i.imgur.com/MHi0NKb.jpg View: https://i.imgur.com/iaFxNSE.jpg I suppose the first one is VGA for a monitor, the second is for a printer and the other two are for monitors too but what...

So I have this old CRT color monitor from like 1990 and today I tried powering it on, as well as the computer. So first thing I did is power on the computer and then I plugged in the monitor and pressed its button on the front. Nothing happened. Then I pressed it a little longer and a yellow...
