Ok so I was running my i3 12100f with 3500mhz ram at gear 1 for a few days no problem Then I was playing around with bios boot feature's and somehow corrupted the bios and it wouldn't boot and VGA debug light was on then got the bios reflashed by a repair shop I don't remember the cpu they...

Hello! Quick post pertaining to another issue I had. My friend moved a while ago, and a few months ago tried to boot up his PC that I built for him. He did say that his PSU was "dustier than the Sahara". The motherboard went into an infinite bootloop that only stopped when you flipped the main...

was doing some research and it turns out amd's ryzen 5000 series processors have just unexpectedly died, now that article was posted feb of 2021 so youd assume they fixed the problem. either they did and i got a bad cpu or the cpus are still dying and they didnt fix it. i returned my mobo...

Specs: Zotac GTX 1060 6GB MSI Z390 A-Pro LGA 1151 i7-9700K Problem: This PC has ran for atleast 2 years perfectly fine with no issues. But recently the CPU Ez debug light has been coming on. Power seems to be going through the motherboard, but there is no display. I'm able to turn on the PC...

SYMPTOMS (from 2 weeks) : My PC keeps rebooting randomly, Sometimes it keeps turning ON-OFF & never even reaches POST (no BEEP) OR Sometimes it comes to desktop (with in 20 - 60 secs) reboots, OR Sometimes works completely fine as if nothing ever happened ! Now it just stays ON, No BEEPs, NO...

Initial problem was temps of 90c+ while gaming (98-100c in borderlands 3). I did a 100% cleaning of all fans, no effect. I repasted the cpu, no effect. I reseated the cpu, no effect. My AIO h110i water cooler was working fine according to multiple temp and fan control programs. I admit, I have...

[EDIT]: In my original post I left out a few key details. This system a dual pc in the enthoo 719 powered by the 1200w revolt x dual system psu. Top atx build is, supposed to be, a 3800x and 1080 FE. Bottom itx build is (currently) a 9900k on an asus rog z390i mini itx mobo w/ MSI 2080 super...

Hi, I hope everyone is well. About 2 weeks ago my pc died. There was an electrical disturbance (lights flickering and dimming for a good couple seconds) which I presume was either a surge or a brown out. So I immediately went to my pc which was still running and fine, and hit the off button to...

hi everyone, so today i bough a new GPU, the XFX rx5600 xt. installed it and expected it to boot straight up, but it didnt. it wouldnt post or even show a signal to the monitor, the fans just kept periodically spinning to maximum rpm then, slowing down, with the process repeating. i went an...

I got a new case and started building and when I was done I tried to turn it on and only got a blinking light on the chipset. So I took everything out put the board on a box and tried hooking up just the psu to mobo and psu fan would not run just a blinking light again I made sure the 24 pin was...

Pc was working fine earlier today but after trying to install some LED strips, the computer itself turns on ( all LEDs, fans, etc, turn on) but does not display and peripherals don't turn on either. The red "CPU" led on the motherboard lights up also. I cleared cmos, swapped out the GPU...

I know, I know, if It's fried than there's nothing I can do. I was working on an old laptop and had to remove the heat sink and unplug the fan to service some of the parts. After putting the laptop back together, I started it up. The screen flickered, but then turned off. I opened the laptop...

Okay, this is a sad post. I'm an avid pc builder, who buys parts used and flips PC's. Was having a great week. Had an i7 4790k paired with a z97 board and an i5 4460 with an h81 mini itx board. I was testing a faulty gpu in my z97 board and downloading drivers for it with the igpu. Suddenly...

So my laptop fan is making a rattling noise, very noticeable in idle. Called ASUS customer support and they told me I should get it replace, however my warranty doesn't cover it. Not in a position to spend a lot of money, I also don't want any trouble with continuing using my laptop. Is there...

Hi. i've been having some random freezings for a while now. My pc just hangs and the audio sometimes studders on the note it was playing. When i ran a SFC it came back with "i can't do this", when i did a chkdsk on boot it went to BSOD and when i activated verifier it just went to BSOD when i...

I recently built a new rig with a Gigabyte R9 380 4gb. I'm getting some serious weirdness with it. At first I was having serious stuttering issues in Killing Floor 2. I initially cleared these up by rolling back from Crimson to older Catalyst drivers. Later I used a driver removal tool to...
