    Question New PC motherboard lights on

    I just built a new PC, I got Windows put on it and was able to download some of my games. The next day when I went to go turn it on, none of my monitors were getting a signal, I checked the motherboard and saw the CPU light on.

    Question Pc won’t boot all the time

    I’ve had this issue badly about for around a week now and I’ve gone through the checklist of troubleshooting options but none have worked.

    [SOLVED] Desktop starts to turn on, then red CPU light and turns off again. Cycles repeatedly ?

    I have a home-built PC desktop. It has been working fine for a number of years. Out of the blue when I tried to turn it on this morning, the blue fan light turns on, then after about a second, a red CPU light appears on the motherboard and it turns off again. It continues trying to turn itself...

    Question Solid red CPU light until I restart?

    So I'm running into a bit of a weird issue. Whenever I cold boot my PC, the mobo displays a solid red CPU light and doesn't post (the fans are spinning and lights are on). I always fix it by hitting the restart button on my case once and it then proceeds to boot normally. It also doesn't run...

    Question CPU Mobo light on, peripherals off

    Hi! So i'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this but it seems most appropriate. I'm having an issue when I plug in the second 8gb stick of ram. It is in the correct slot, but whenever plugged in, the PC, goes into a bootloop. Thus, I assumed it was a bad stick. However, after...

    Question Build won't POST, how to verify it's the CPU

    I have two homebuilt computers that we use in my lab that stopped working. First they occasionally blue-screened, but then got to where they wouldn’t even POST. This happened about a year apart at the same station. I later learned that there was a faulty UPS there backing up the PC power...
