failure

Hi all. I inherited a 2010 vintage Dell Precision T7500 workstation and it's amazing, but is having some quirks. It's dual Xeon E5530 (one on a riser), has 500 GB SSD, and is currently set up with 32 GB of RAM. All the DIMMs match each other and are non ECC DDR3 1066 (8x 4 GB). Here's the...

Greetings all, All of a sudden one of my HDDs became unavailable, missing from the list of HDDs... It began 2 days ago, suddenly its gone. Then I had to restart the PC and it came back. I used it, accessed my files as normal. Yesterday it gone again, after 2 restarts it came back. After a...

After waking up to black screens on both of my monitors, I decided to assume that they were correctly plugged in and jumped straight into screwing up my PC. I could sign into Windows using my pin code and new that it was working because I could hear the login sound. I adjusted cables to my GTX...

Using a 970, i5 4690k. I'd have thought it'd be ok to handle this but it seems not. It's also VERY indecisive. I could play Rocket league for 3/4hours without problem. Resi 2 reboot or CS:Go and it's dead within 30 mins. Steps i've taken: PSU Swap, clean wipe of Display drivers/reinstall, from...

I recently tried to install a new i9 9900k in replacement for my i5 9600k to which every time I would boot the system, I would get past the bios screen and windows would begin to load but fail. My first boot looked promising as it detected a new cpu and once it told me to set it up in the bios...

Hi everyone, Just want to seek opinions on whether my GPU (980ti) is on its way out. Issues started about a month ago, no hardware of software changes I'm aware of. My PC would freeze randomly (gaming, browsing, working etc.) with an audio loop that usually just sounded like buzzing and then...

Got my system to POST, but after selecting 64 bit windows 10 install from a brand new Windows 10 flash drive, it freezes while the dots are spinning around my motherboard logo. I was able to start in safe mode (through f8 on installation select), which let me get past the freezing, install...

Hello Everyone 3 weeks ago i build my first gaming pc and it ran fine suddenly then i started encountering problems such as the pc restarting without any BSOD or error code while playing games and then turning back on it feels like someone took out the power cord and plugged it back instantly...

I have an asus pro p2520l with an i3 5010u. the battery wont charge and I have no idea why, I've tried reinstalling the battery drivers, I've cleaned the contacts on the motherboard, I've tried updating every driver on the machine, I've flashed the bios and nothing is working, I know it's not a...

Hello, For the last 2 days my PC has been shutting down unexpectedly and my GPU is crashing when playing. This only happens when I open a GPU intensive program like a game. I monitored the voltage of my GPU when playing, but it has never exceeded 1200mv. The strange part is that after a few...

Hi everyone! I have a Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 mainboard with a Corsair RM750i power supply. I was noticing the other day that my USB devices disconnect at random so I investigated a bit further. I measured the voltage at any given USB port which is 5.06V. However, when I'd connect a load (I...

The PC I use is my first build, worked perfectly for a couple years now, but recently, after a power outage (which i think was caused by a transformer explosion based on the loud bang outside), Half of the time when I turn my PC on it won't recognize my boot drive, and most of the time when it...

Had two hard drives die on me in the past two months one hybrid and one nvme SSD, both different manufacturers the only similarity is that they are part of the windows OS. The HDD reverts after reboot (think faronic's Deepfreeze) delete files, format, install software, even secure erase...

I have a SSD that I have owned for about a year that I suspect may be beginning to fail. The SSD in question is a KingSpec 360GB SSD 2.5 Inch SATA3 drive. The symptoms are that sometimes when I am trying to save to the drive e.g. saving a video or image from the web there will be a long pause (5...

I'm having a problem where my PC wont boot from any ssd. Initially I had a pny 250gb ssd windows 10 boot drive I was transporting my PC and it was working fine before moving. After I hooked it up next i got a boot error saying " Disk boot error, please insert disk and press enter." So I assumed...

Hello everyone... I have a little problem, everytime I start up my computer, it gets the "cpu fan error" as soon as it appears a simple reboot makes it disappear, but when I turn off the computer the cycle repeats itself and I dont understand why... *Its a new problem. My motherboard and cpu...

So today I was playing GTA fine, I left for driving lessons and switched my pc off by the power supply switch at the back. When I got home I hit the on button and it started for a split second and then stopped, nothing appeared to have any power but I wasn’t sure, I dismantled the PC and rebuilt...

I have a homebuilt, Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0 motherboard, AMD Phenom 4 core processor, 8gB Corsair Vengance memory 1600gHz 9-9-9-24 and an Asus video board (inexpensive but I can't find the box and there is no description on the card. Nvidia though). I was using a Corsair VX550W power supply.Unit...

Startups on my PC sometimes works as planned, quickly starting up, but more often than I would like it to my PC either freezes on the ASUS Start Up Screen, the Windows Start Up Screen, or just stays on a black screen and all with the PC Fans and RGB Lights Active. I'm starting to get the...

Hey guys, now I know this might be a duplicated post and I’d like to apologize if that is the case in advance.I have this problem that I’m struggling with for a few weeks now. Bought every part to build my first pc, I’ll post the specs below. After building it up, it worked flawlessly for about...

Okay, so basically sometimes randomly it seems like my GPU is crashing. The colors on my screen will glitch or I would have huge red bars across my screen, the sound will crash / freeze and i'm forced to shut down my pc. When I launch it again it usually has some of the same red bars or weird...

I just want additional opinions, in case I made some glaring error, but I think I'm gonna get stuck sending this back and I think it is the motherboard not the psu. It is a system made from this parts list...

I installed my graphic card "Sapphire RX 580 on a motherboard" Intel DH55HC "with processor" Core I5 650 "and it does not show video, I need to know if there is compatibility, what solution exists to be able to use it on that motherboard.
