By testing what all does that mean? just install into EATX case and see if it turns on? Thanks

Hello all, I have been set back a week due to a stupid mistake board that I just realized. I used my old ATX full tower case for a EATX board. I thought the case was an EATX case but it turns out after looking at the old product description for the case it's ATX. What was weird was that the...

Nevermind....It's not powering on whether its in the case or not. Very intermittent Dead PSU or dead MOBO?

Alright, reporting some more strange behavior. There are 8 standoffs that are recommended in the manual. When they are all screwed in in the case with the PC on its side, I get the 0.1 seconds power on. When I unscrew all of them and leave the motherboard sitting loose in the case on its side, I...

Hello, I am in the middle of a motherboard swap. I got the CPU / memory / etc. installed. When I plugged the system in, the motherboard power light flashes for about 0.1 seconds and then dies and I can't get it to power on again until I unplug and replug the PSU. So I pulled the motherboard...

Whenever I plug anything into my Dell XPS 13 9360 Kaby Lake right USB 3.0 port (the one that has SS and is next to the power button), it causes the computer to shut down. All drivers and BIOS are updated and using the latest versions. USB Powershare is disabled. When I check the BIOS log, I...

I bought a used Dell XPS 13 9360 i5-7200U laptop back in January with no warranty, but it was a great deal. It has always had issues with the WiFi cards getting very low signal and dropping in and out. It came with a Killer Wireless card which I tried under both Windows 10 and Ubuntu, both...

Problem solved by switching to AHCI mode in Bios version 1.3.2, and switching back to UEFI with Secure Boot off, and choosing not to use full drive encryption in the installer. I still have problems with the Right USB port shutting the whole computer down even in Linux Mint.

Update: Changed Bios mode from RAID to ACHI with no luck, still getting the exact same error.

Hello, I've been having a he** of a time trying to get my recently purchased used Dell xps 13 working. I bought it privately and it does not have a current warranty. It came with Windows 10 Pro and problems started happening from the beginning...Shutting down completely when I close the lid...

Great...should I go ahead and remove the HD and extract my files....or do you think this can be fixed?

I dont know. I use a VPN and sometimes it resets my DNS and I have to go into properties to turn it back onto automatic. It usually just resets the ipv4 one. But why would running that command cause my computer to reboot over and over and explorer to not work??

My computer was giving me a "ipv6 no internet connectivity" message, so I followed the advice of this youtube video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DddlBkwBRM I went to cmd and I typed netsh winsock reset catalog netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log Now my computer keeps rebooting over and over...

I think i may have solved it....the laptop was running in some sort of "power saving mode" in the lenovo energy management center. Switched to "High performance mode" and ran a couple of games, so far I don't see any stuttering and they are playable. *Facepalm*
