I have bitdefender, but am up for renewal if anyone has any better antivirus recommendations. I haven't looked at my task manager yet, is there anything I should be looking out for apart from anything hogging my network?

So I have been extremely lucky and found a windows OS on an NVME drive I had, it’s not a clean boot, but certainly doesn’t have all the programs and what not that I have on my OS. The speeds are what I would be expecting, which means something on my “current” OS build is badly throttling my...

I am sad to say I have already tried that :(

Tried two cat 6 cables, and there is only one port unfortunately. It’s not only the Ethernet connection that is slow, it’s the WiFi too, so it sounds like either a motherboard issue??? Or something to do with the OS/applications.

Not using any. I am thinking of doing a clean install but really don’t want to have to reinstall everything to find out it’s a bloody hardware issue 🥲.

Hi all, Really struggling here - I only get slow download speeds on my Dekstop PC; 2 other laptops and my mobile phone report great download speeds. The network adapter is an Intel I219-V. I have tried all of the following; - Reinstalling network driver - Disabling firewall (on...

UPDATE: New Corsair 1000e PSU, and the PC still won’t post, I’ve tried 1 re seating the CPU, using 1 RAM stick and then the other, other RAM stick on its own. I then tried flashing the BIOS but that doesn’t work either, I’m really running out of options here, I think the mobo is DOA.

It’s a brand new mobo, and it won’t even display anything, I can’t even get it to the bios

Can anyone comment as to why the pc is still acting this way even with the GPU and everything else disconnected ?

Thank you both for your advice, can you recommend a PSU, I must admit I’ve been out of the PC game for a few years now, and my pal was on such s tight budget, and well here we are! My one question though, the system is doing this without the GPU connected? Could a power spike have damaged it?

The motherboard manuals says that during a post you should hear bios beeps, but I haven’t heard any. A bit disappointing if there is no onboard speaker? But maybe that’s normal, I’ve ordered one to try and help anyway. Please see a video of the issue, and see if you can spot anything! Really...

Thank you for the prompt reply. I have double checked the pages already and the 24 pin and 8 pin are connected, just not the 4 pin. All of the fans are connected to the case fan control, and the fan control does work. The fans all come on, so does the aio pump, and everything runs seemlingly...

Yes that’s the right manual, and literally all that is connected is the fans, aio pump, 24, 4x4, usb headers, hd audio. no cables from other psus

Z690-P WIFI I5-13400 ASUS TUF 3080 CX 750M (from old build - working fine) The pc turns on runs for 24 approx seconds and powers off, and instantly powers back on, and does this over and over again. I am aware the mother has 3 power connections, 24 pin, 4x4, and a 4 pin (atx_12) I haven’t seen...
