Hi Guys Today I built my new pc and it kinda runs :) I did install Windows 10 (because I already had it on a drive) and after getting the drivers for Ethernet, I started updating Windows. Up to here everything worked perfectly fine. But during the installation of the Windows Updates the PC...

Hi, so I thought I would ask in this community about a recent PC build of mine. I am using some dated parts for this PC build, but they are all new. Background is that a friend of mine just had these unboxed parts on hand and decided to sell them to me as a bundle for a steal. I made a list of...

I'll be describing the current issue first, then the history if that helps at all: Specs: AsRock B360mPro4 Corsair CV750 32GB Ram I9 9900K RTX 2080 So when I turn on the psu at the switch, my rig gets power for about half a second (I know because the led on my mouse flicks on, then off...

Hello everyone, Today I learned the hard way that you shouldn't use your old modular PSU SATA power cable on your new one and my brand new 2TB BX-500 smells like molten silicon and prevents my pc to POST if it is plugged in. I saw on other posts that someone did the same oopsie and managed to...

After trying unplugging the power cord from my monitor, I accidentally touched the pins that connect to the power cord and zapped myself, I was just wondering if this could be bad for the monitor and the peripherals(keyboard and mouse) I connected to its USB ports. Also, is this a problem with...

Hello. A few years ago, we got multiple identically-made, custom-built PCs. One of them, though, had problems, with these symptoms: Firstly, no USB camera connected to it would turn on most of the time, no matter what the camera and drivers. The indicator light would turn on for a few...

I have a very weird problem. My PC works all fine and dandy and then suddenly my USB hub disconnects for a split second and reconnects. This happens sometimes when my air conditioner starts up or shuts down, sometimes just randomly. The issue is that when this happens, I have to unplug...

Hi everyone, TLDR: Got water dripped on my monitor in a way that it went all inside while it was off. Tried to dry it with a blower + vacuum cleaner for 30 mins each in all openings. Placed it in the sun with its back to it for 30 mins until it got too hot. It's now been 24 hours, is it safe...

After my first build, My PC case gives me a mild shock when I touch. I tried using a UPS, plugging the PC to a different wall socket and, taking the PSU out of the case, but nothing seemed to resolve the issue. I have noticed that touching the MoBo also gives me the shock. So what could be the...

I have a three monitor array hooked up to a UPS. I also have electric blinds in my home office. Whenever I move the blinds up/down when my computer is in operation, one of the monitors goes black momentarily. It is always the same monitor and the one that is closest to the blinds — although...

Is it normal to get static electricity from just touching certain peripherals and cables? I built this PC earlier this year. Sometimes I accidentally touch the bottom of my condenser mic and I felt the electricity shock. I also have a USB cable for when I connect my phone or gamepad into the PC...

Hey all, whilst moving my hardware to a new case I somehow managed to nick the corner of a wire on my GPU that was sticking out and have exposed a very small portion of the wire. (Honestly don't know how) From what I can see in the schematics of the GPU (EVGA 1080 FTW) it's the LED connector...

A couple of months ago my computer has started to give me some trouble. I've listed the main issues: Games from Fortnite to RE2 used to crash when first opened. A quick press of the reset button on the PC seemed to fix the problem. Now not even that helps me, I can't play games anymore, they...
