My PC was running slightly hot as a whole, with just the stock 120 mm fans that the Fractal Design Meshify C came with, so I bought two Noctua NFS12-A 120 mm fans. Right now, one of the stock fans sits at the top of the back side (exhaust), while the other sits at the front, in the middle...

Yeah I think I'm going to try to buy new RAM sticks but I read that these should last almost forever, so I'm doubtful. I also may RMA the motherboard, for the third time, and if that doesn't work I'm going to sell the parts minus the power supply and build a new beast. Thank you!

This made my day lmao thank you

Previously, I did have a ASUS Sabertooth Z97 board, that lasted me a good 3-4 years before it died and I had to buy a Supermicro board since it was the only one with the z97 chipset that was also brand new and relatively cheap (was not going to spend $600 on a brand new motherboard when I can...

Tried this just now, the motherboard beeped 5 times, continuously, without RAM. With either RAM stick installed, in either slot, there were no beeps and no post.

Alright welp.. looks like it's time to ditch this build then. Would it be worth it to take it to the computer repair store? I feel like I'm just tired of dealing with this issue but at the same time I feel like the computer repair store wouldn't know much about it and would try to scam me for a...

200% certain there are no extra standoff or any wires touching the back of the motherboard. I have already put in a new CMOS battery. I also tried using the integrated graphics, as well as unplugging all the various USB and sound ports and jumping it with a screwdriver to no avail. Hard reset...

Hello, as the title says, I'm clarifying how to flash BIOS to a newer version if the computer fails post. I have a fat32 formatted usb drive, as well as the new bios, downloaded onto my laptop. The read me on the file I downloaded says: To perform UEFI BIOS recovery using a USB-attached device...

Hello everybody, before I start, yes, I have read the sticky and performed all steps on it, except for the breadboarding part as I currently do not have enough time to do so. This issue is definitely the most annoying issue I have ever had, in all of my life. So about a year ago, my PC suddenly...

What should I expect idle temps and load temps to be? It is a decently old CPU, probably around 4-5 years old.

Whenever I boot up GTA 5, an ambulance like siren noise starts, and turns off when I end the process. When monitoring CPUID HWMonitor, the processor had reached a max of 100 degrees Celsius when the siren started. Currently, the idle temp sits around 70 degrees, with "Core #0" at consistently...

Alright thank you! I'm pretty sure I can get a replacement for free, so I can at least try. Everything's clean, and I reseated everything including the CPU and reapplied thermal paste when I first tried to fix the problem. I did download the new Nvidia game ready drivers either yesterday or the...

Okay, thank you! I'm actually going to stop by Frys tomorrow and see if I can get a replacement for my PSU first, just in case it actually is the PSU because it's literally the same exact problem and symptoms as when I had to first replace it. I know this PSU is reliable, just going to see if I...

There aren't any JBAT pins, instead there's also just a clear cmos button that I have pressed to no effect. Since there's no display at all, I can't spam my bios key as it never gets that far. I will try to flash the bios. Just to be clear, I'm downloading the latest bios, putting the contents...

Yes, I've taken out the cmos battery for around 15 seconds, and put it back in. I also have tried using a new cmos battery, but to no effect. I tried using just cpu, its cooler, and 1 stick of ram with integrated graphics but this also had no effect on the issue. Edit: How would I go about...
