First Boot

So I just built my first ever PC with: MBD: MSI PRO B550M-VC WIFI AM4 GPU: RX 6600 CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 from my friend RAM: 32GB Ripjaws V Series The thing is when I finished building it, it would not POST and eventually found out that the CPU light was on and that the Ryzen 5 2600 is unsupported...

Hi, i have a strange issue with my PC, and I can't figure out if it's the PC or the Monitor itself. Only on first boot, after about 5-10 minutes the main screen only (I got 2 screens) goes black for like 2 seconds, then it turns back normally. This not happens untill the next day or untill i...

So I’ve build my pc on my own with my dad and followed all instructions. To our biggest surprise we encountered a small problem, the pc turns on the POST launches and the screen is asking us to press “f2 or del” to enter the BIOS settings, only problem is when we do so nothing happens as if the...

Hello, I tried to install windows 7 ( check out my thread ) and after failure, I tried to install windows 10. When I finish installing and need to type in name of my PC, my keyboard and mouse don't work. They work in BIOS but not here. What could be the problem?

So as the title mentions, I’m brand new to PC building but I managed to finish all the hardware assembly without an issue. Everything seems to be working just fine. (Every part has been purchased brand new) As for what comes next... I’ve read dozens of forum posts and watched tons of YouTube...

I know there are countless posts about this similar subject (which really makes me think this problem is only exclusive to MSI mobos), but I know it isn't. Firstly, I'll start by saying that this is my first time building a PC in a good long while, so I have a generally good understanding of...

I've just built my first computer, and when I went to press the power button, nothing happened. The HDMI was plugged into the GPU but it was making a static-y noise, which I assume is bad. I reseated the GPU and had the same issue. I double-checked that the CPU is in correctly, which it was, and...

Hi guys, I just built a PC. It seems to be working fine but it has some wierd behaviours. First of all it has quite long shutdown/restart time. Much longer than I am used to with other computers. And also, the main problem: When I start the PC after the PSU has been turned off / unplugged the...

So I'm very close to building my first PC (only part left is PSU) and I'm beginning to think about the first boot up. I've heard that if you've done everything correctly your computer should 'post'. Does the post screen look different for everyone depending on the motherboard manufacturer? I...

So I just completed a build and everything appears to work normally but the Q-code is A2. A2 is trouble detecting drives. I've checked the sata cable and switched them out but it still doesn't work. MOBO - Maximus Hero XI SSD - 970 pro HDD - Seagate Barracuda 2 TB

Hi. I am intending to upgrade some of my hardware. Mobo and CPU. Honestly i'd preffer to only switch the CPU but can't be helped with the socket thing. I did some google searches on upgrading major hardware without reinstalling windows/formatting and the results were mostly mixed. I also found...

Upgraded my CPU and motherboard and rebuilt the whole rig inside of a new case, when I turned it on for the first time I heard a cackle and smoke started coming out of it and one of the two 4pin cpu1 power cables had caught fire and burned. Any idea why this happened and what I need to do next...

I am new to computers and built one the other day with everything working fine (as of right now). my fans all get power , everything from F-Panel is all connected properly, my ram sticks are both seated propery (they are lighting up which i presume is seated properly), my cpu cooler is all...

Hey there, I'm fed up of my old Socket 1366 Intel i7 930, so I'm going to get an AM3+ board and I've undecided the CPU. Firstly, I would like you to recommend a good AM3+ CPU for under £200? Secondly, is this Motherboard decent...

Planning on building a gaming pc, wondering if the GTX 960 is too much for the pentium g3258, please keep in mind that I am going to overclock it to close to 4.2 ghz, or maybe 4.4 ghz. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/vMHJjX

Hi, I have TPLink modem plus router that also provides a LAN signal to another router that is kept else where. I still couldn't get a signal in one of my rooms for which I bought a zyxel wre2205 repeater. Now when I switch on the repeater all my devices suddenly drop the connection from the...

I have a Gigabyte 980 ti g1 gaming and i get around 74 degrees on full load but i have seen it go up to 77 degrees. I know that the reference gtx 980 ti full load temperature is 84 degrees. But is my temperatures too high for this specific card? I read the reviews and i see that on most...
