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...

When I try to get into windows I get a black screen, my gpu fans stop spinning and power save mode flashes on the monitor every so often which is not normal for my monitor when it’s in power save mode everything is fine in the bios I installed a new copy of windows because I thought windows got...

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...

2 days ago my laptop (lenovo y520, undervolted) randomly BSOD'd, I have never had it happen before and it refused to start.
