broken

Hello, I have had my PC for quite some time now and it has been through a few moves with me however this time something different has occurred. Whether it be due to lack of cleaning, the moving process itself, or being dormant for some time I am having this issue where in game (league of...

My SSD became very slow one day then after a few days stopped working all together. Now when I try boot I am forever taken to the bios. My disk does not show under the bios however other drives do. I have tried other sata cables to no avail. If I boot the pc using another drive that has windows...

Title says it all, HDD light stopped working suddenly after school. I have also noticed that the USB ports are not working (keyboard and mouse not lighting). The monitor does not react at all whenever I turn my PC on and off but the fans are still spinning, I am certain that this is not a...

Hello everyone, hope you are all doing well. This is my first post on this forum, I apologize if this isn't the correct category for this question. The wire of my Razer Kraken 7.1 v2 has been playing up and I have identified the exact fault of the cable is right next to the earcup itself...

My Logitech G413 has been acting strangely recently. Preceding the event of my entire pc slowing down to the point where I had to reinstall windows, my G413 had and still has this issue, where about every 10 seconds or so, the inputs will stop working for a few seconds, and then it will spam...

When I press the power button, or anything, nothing happens at all. Just a clicking noise whenever it is plugged in. No fans, LEDs, or beeps. Even with everything except for the 24 pin connected it still gives this clicking noise. I have tried a variety of components to use with it and none seem...

Hello all, Both the ctrl keys on my laptop keyboard stopped working. I have both ubuntu and windows installed, and they work in neither of the two. Windows is a fresh install, installed after the keys broke, which makes me think it is not a software issue. On ubuntu, I also tried using the...

Hello, Yesterday while i was just minding my business, my second monitor just stopped working. If i turn it off and on, it works for a second, but then shuts down turns off immediately. I have tried replacing the power cable with a confirmed working one, in a socket that i know that works, but...

Hello I would like to start with I am new to posting here, but have visited many times over the years to troubleshoot other pc problems of mine. So to start off I recently bought an AMD XFX Radeon 6970 2GB GDDR5 under the condition "Untested". I of course knew this GPU was probably broken but I...

Hello I have had this GTX 970 for nearly 4 years and in the last year occasionally it will just say "no video input" and I had to do really random things like remove the cmos, swap ram around etc. But since a few days ago I have been unable to fix it, nothing I normally do is working. I saw...

So I recently got a new psu (start of an upgrade) and thought I might as well put it in my current system. While in there I thought I’d give the cpu some love with a heat sink and fan clean followed by some new Tim. All seemed well till I came to turn it on. Instantly got a code 55 (which is...

I recently got a computer handed down to me. I’ve been gaming on it for over 3 months now and had no issues. Recently, I decided that I would move it to a different country because I was very pleased with the performance. To see if it would fit in a suitcase, I disassembled the PC completely...

When I first got my computer in September 2019 I could, essentially, play any game I wanted to. The main game I wanted to play, and could, was Total War: Warhammer 2. I used to be able to play this game on high, or ultra, graphics, with basically no noise coming from my computer, or seemingly...

So to begin my breaker tripped in my room and my computer wouldn't boot after that. After Troubleshooting I found it to be an SSD that had nothing to do with Boot. Removed it other SSD still didn't want to boot. Would be detected in an External HDD/SDD bay though. So I refreshed Windows to...

Hello, I'm a young lad, and after many years of saving I have finally procured all the parts necessary to upgrade my terrible setup to something almost mediocre. the parts I'm putting together are: intel I5-9600K LGA1151 Nvidia GTX-1050ti ASUS brand ASUS prime Z270-P motherboard 2x Corsair...

So Ive just changed my cpu, psu, and motherboard because some of my components were broken from my old pc. After putting them all on again my pc booted and I managed to use it for an hour, after which it suddenly turns off by itself. After trying turning it on again it failed to boot, giving a...

Hi everyone, Performing some pc upgrades today, my motherboard died; I booted into the bios, went to enable xmp and the bios crashed. After forcing a shut down, the pc would no longer boot up. I have troubleshooted the pc, and have concluded that the motherboard is dead; my question is “is it...

So I just recently got a 5800x and I cant get any sort of display to show up when its connected. when i was installing it I i got thermal paste on my fingers and when i was touching the cpu i got thermal paste on the pins, would this make the cpu not work? Also I know on amd mobo's there is a...

I just upgraded my gpu from a 1050 ti to a 3070. In doing so I also had to upgrade my psu, which I then installed a 850w, that is to my knowledge installed correctly. I'm rather new at pc building, keep this in mind. My computer turns on and everything lights up, but my monitor is black, also...

My monitor appears disjointed and fuzzy, possibly a refresh rate issue? Model is an Alienware AW2518H, about a couple years old. The blurry / fuzziness continues all the way up the screen with it stopping at the very top for a few centimetres. Any suggestions on how to fix and what's the...

I just got a new CPU. I replaced it, turned on power, and saw that while the PC stayed on for ~20 seconds with fans/leds running, there was no video coming from the GPU or the motherboard video outputs (HDMI and VGA) I tried going back to the old CPU, but every time I re-install it and turn on...

Guys I was removing my RTX 3070 to clean it and I accidentally broke the x4 pcie retention lock, the x16 where the RTX 3070 is installed is fine, can I fix this in India or not? Help me, what will happen if I install the GPU without the locking clip? Will it fall off? I don't use the x4 slot I...

At this point I don't even care that it's broken I already replaced it but I couldn't for the life of my find my exact problem on the internet so I decided to post here. So I had an rx 460 that I used for 2 years until one fateful day it died on me. Now the problem is that it's not just that my...

I just installed an AIO onto my pc and randomly it will turn off (LED screen) and all 3 fans will stop spinning. The AIO that i have is a gigabyte aorus 360mm liquid cpu cooler. I looked online and saw that qfan control switching from PWM to DC might help - the issue is i dont have the cables...

Hi, I recently built a new computer to replace my old one. I've built many computers, so when this issue came up I really didn't know what to do. When my PC was first built, on every single boot it would stutter, both audio and visual horribly. After updating my motherboard BIOS to a new...

So I've had this PC since 2012, and have not been kind to it. It's started shutting of randomly so I opened it up and noticed the only case fan isn't working, one GPU fan isn't working, and after checking the temp readings etc it seems quite BAD. Is it worth me trying to get it sorted? I've...

Hello, im trying to build my new pc right now and I wanted to try outside the case if my components would turn on. Unfortunately they didnt. So im asking myself right now if my motherboard could be broken because I wasnt the most careful person. So my question is can it be broken although the...

I have a PCIe 6-pin extension cable with a broken ground pin. My PC has a GTX 1650 SUPER in it. I know my GPU draws around 100W of power and the motherboard power connector should be able to deliver 75W, as for a normal 6pin connector. If one ground pin is broken on the connector should the...

Hello everyone. So I pretty much sold my motherboard (MSI H61M-p31 g3) for a better one because it lacked a lot of features. I sold it for 80 dollars with a cpu and ram, though I already have a spare i7 3770 but I’m planning on buying 16gb DDR3 ram. While on eBay I saw this motherboard (Asus...

Hello, I have an ancient Sony Vaio laptop (PCG-7Y2L) that refuses to post. It doesn’t have a battery and nor do I intend to spend 115$ on eBay for a new battery. No, 115$ is not a typo. However, I’m afraid the lack of battery might be why it’s not posting. All that happens when I hit the power...

Bought a Gigabyte 5700 xt OC Gaming GPU two months ago. Installed with no issues. Ran smoothly for those two months with no issues at all. A week ago from posting, the display on the monitor stopped and no connection was registered. Upon booting, the motherboard (ROG STRIX B450) displays the...
