My friend and I have replaced every single component of this build while troubleshooting and still cannot get a post. We replaced each component one at a time. The first was the motherboard, then replaced the cpu, then replaced the ram, then the power supply. We have tried with/without the...

I've read similar posts that claim the rx 480 is designed to idle hotter than usual. Most users post idle temps of 45-50c though so mine seems hot even compared to those. My card will constantly hit the 60c limit when idling and then the fans will turn on and bring the temps back down to 55c...

I recently upgrade my graphics card to the XFX RX 480 4gb and am having some minor issues with managing temps. Under load, the temps are great and will stay at their targeted 70c. However, when idling the card will stay at 55c which seems hot and worries me about shortening the lifespan of the...

I don't have another GPU so I'll have to give a new one a shot. I'll post back here with results in case any future readers have a similar problem. Thanks for the help bgunner! Edit: Replacing the graphics card has fixed the issue for anyone else experiencing similar symptoms

After running each test, all tests passed except for OCCT. However, error checking did not provide any additional info as the system crashed about 20 seconds in. What I am getting from this is that either the gpu is dead or the outlets in my room may not be providing enough power. I'm not sure...

No parts are overclocked. After clean installing the drivers and running Ccleaner, the issue is the same. However, while deleting AMD files on the C drive I noticed there are AMD files located in the Windows SxS folder. I did not want to touch these manually so I ran a disk cleanup for the C...

I have tried reinstalling drivers but will try again before going with a full reformat. I'd rather not reformat so reinstalling the drivers again couldn't hurt. I'll post back here with the results. Also I am not overclocking anywhere.

Ah yeah forgot to mention. The wattage is more than enough as it is a 750 watt. All temps are also more than acceptable.

Any time I start using my graphics card (gaming specifically) my computer will either black screen crash or restart. All symptoms lead me to believe this was a faulty power supply but after testing another power supply the problem persists. I live in an apartment and had a weird amount of...

I am currently undergoing similar issues, only when gaming. As soon as the GPU is stressed/used in any way my computer will die and when looking in The Windows Event Viewer, I find the error Kernel-power 41. This is caused by a power issue. However, in my scenario I have tested other power...

Alright so just adjusted the cpu cooler and it's spinning again (checked after recent post). Gaming is good again. Very helpful tip. However, my temperatures are INSANELY high. Running at 100 degrees Celsius while gaming and 85ish while idling. I am using a stock cooler and haven't reapplied...

Yeah I checked the GPU temperatures and forgot about the CPU. Intel i5-3570k is running at 80 degrees Celsius while just surfing the internet. Maxed at 90 degrees while trying to game. Will definitely try re-seating everything in the morning while paying close attention to the heat sink. Thanks...

Just moved into a new apartment today and set up my desktop. After startup, I realized that the entire computer was running slow. While gaming, the fps is about 5 while the usual is 120. When typing in an internet browser, there is a delay before I can even see what I'm typing. The internet is...

Yesterday I bought the lego games off of stream. I wanted to play the coop with my brother but wanted to utilize two screens instead of one. After setting up softTh, the game worked fine until the second level when the colors became extremely weird. After playing around with the settings I...

Yeah I would only do a custom setup after I graduate college as more of an "enthusiast" hobby.
