I don't do partitions on my drives, last time i did any of that was with windows XP over a decade ago. I have the main SSD, which is a bit old/slow but runs the OS and 1 or 2 heavy games at times, i usually keep 40-50gb free space, it has 222gb total. I also have an even older 1tb HDD, which is...

I can't recall all the steps i did, but the video i linked is what i used to overcome the platform key message that was not allowing me to enable TPM. Video is 2 minutes long and the information rolls in at 1m. But for the most part i switched off an option in the bios, then enabled secure boot...

Maybe greyed out is not the best description i could have given. I did this TPM change like 1-2 months ago or so, so the details are coming back to me slowly. This is the video i used to enable the TPM: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03Zjo-RyYbI After rewatching it, i might have...

Howdy, once again i visit these forums to request some knowledge on potential solutions to fix my hardware problems. Full specs: -b550m pro 4 asrock motherboard -r5 5600g -2x16gb 3200mhz ddr4 ram (or used to be at 3200mhz when i messed around after buying the hardware 2-3 years ago, it seems to...

Tested some more, rebooted a few more times, noticed that one of the times the storage was not popping up in the bios anymore under the hardware tab. So i assumed possibly faulty cables? Turned off my pc, removed the power, tried pushing the cables connected to the ssd a bit see if they were...

Howdy, today i went about my usual stuff, tried powering on my pc, it worked but i was facing a boot drive error during boot, basically it was telling me to select a proper boot drive and press a key to try again or something along those lines. I panicked as i thought that another SSD kicked the...

I guess the power supply is really that bad? I just googled reviews after two people here warning me, and everyone points at it doing less wattage than described in the label. Sigh. I've filtered the search in the store i'm buying with your psu suggestions and my limit, which one would you get...

Hey, since my current pc is going for a check in next week, i've been preparing myself for the potential bad news from the check in. Current build going for a check in due to issues i failed to fix: -asrock xtreme 6 z77 *** -asus rog strix factory oc 1080 ti -i7 3770k stock *** -16gb ddr3 4x4...

I'll mark this as best answer, the stuff you said is probably as close as we can get to this last issue. Going to need to take the pc to a technician next week and see what's going on. Pc still restarts nonstop with USBs/hd audio/sata cables off and only plugged in to receive power. Also tried...

I'm wondering, could this issue be derived from magnetization of the case? I recall googling that before getting the new supply. From what I understood, a PC case that is magnetized can't be fixed, only way is using a new PC case, right? I also brought this up with the guy that sold.me.the new...

I see, but this last issue occured last year with my previous power supply. But with the other power supply I could manage to temporarily fix the problem by removing the CMOS battery and putting it back in. With this power supply, doing the same trick isn't fixing the restart spam my PC is doing...

The guy from the store recommended an Urano VX 750w. The previous one I had was better than this one. Removed the GPU and CMOS again, still.no fix. Maybe new CMOS battery? Edit: Tried a new battery... No fix. Got no clue what to do anymore. ☹️

Okay, got some bad news... PC worked for 3 hours. Was installing some game launchers and chatting through discord while downloading some games. All of a sudden I started hearing crackling noises from my monitor, I quickly unplug everything from the monitor, even the main plug, waited 15 minutes...

I've had people tell me that before, but i honestly think, the issue is not the GPU, but the motherboard instead. GPU is heavy and that might be the reason why i need to reslot the GPU once or twice per year to fix problems... I have to see if i can find a support for GPU, to help avoid sag...

Update: Removed CMOS battery, gpu and ram. Removed small particles of dust on top of the mobo. Put everything back in where they were just like before, booted, got that CMOS boot date warning per usual. Everything working fine atm. I've been outside of safe mode for 60 minutes thus far...
