I recently bought the stuff to build a computer and just put it together. I boot it up and it beeps 3 times, pauses, then beeps another time before shutting down and rebooting. I've tried treating it like 4 beeps and taken out all the extension cards but nothings changed. Any suggestions would...

If consumers had real rights in the tech industry I would sue the ass cheeks off Microsoft for fraud and faulty products. Third time this has happened- stuck in a boot loop. The only keys that ever do anything are F2 Setup, and F12 Boot Options. Neither of them allow me to use safe mode. Is...

Okay so my computer has a range of issues atm: A while ago I noticed my PC was slowing down and so I reinstalled windows, that went fine. I needed the drivers for my Wifi dongle and couldn't get that to install (or was too slow maybe) so I moved my PC to a part of the house that has an Ethernet...

I've had a i5 7600k Cpu for about two years now. After replacing my motherboard, ram, and PSU about 3 months ago, my pc started freezing and delaying turning on. It would often boot loop and act as if it did not have enough power. I replaced the power supply and the problem persisted. I tested...

My computer was running just fine then all of a sudden it crashed! It gave me the blue screen of death, but didnt show any file that was culprit. So it rebooted and immediately it went to blue screen again and gave the file "volmgr.sys" but it did its thing and then actually booted up to the...

Hello party people, Captain Kim speaking, except it's Jannis and we're not going to Ibiza. Today I received a Wiko 2 Pro from a Friend, who apparently pressed the Power button repeatedly. When she tried to turn it back on, it got stuck in a boot loop. I tried Vol. Up for recovery and Vol. Down...

Hi everyone, I'm curreny having issues booting my system, which I'm hoping is just psu related. Basically, when I turn the computer on, everything lights up for a second or 2, fans spin then it turns off. It will turn on again and just repeat the above. If I take a stick of ram out it boots...
