Hey everyone, I was having an issue with my pc not posting when turning it on. (Happened maybe 2 out of 5 times) Saw a post saying resetting cmos could help. After doing this, it shot me straight into bios and won’t let me leave. Through some digging it’s not showing my bootable drive. It was...

Ok so if I boot my PC from sleep it crashes after a couple of seconds it acts as if I hit restart. Im pretty sure this is a hardware problem because I've put in a ssd from a working PC, and also reinstalled windows with it still crashing in the end. Im pretty sure it's not the RAM or GPU...

Waking up from sleep/shut down results in a black screen until I force shut down the PC by holding the power button, which I don't think is a good thing to do regularly. But regularly doesn't even cut it. I can't even recreate the problem. Sometimes when I shutdown/sleep it would work just fine...

Hi, I've not been keeping up to date with what is required for a decent build (and it seems to be a lot more expensive). My friend wants a PC for <£800 and she wants it to run BG3, and probably some future FromSoftware games. I'm tempted to save on the CPU and Mobo and get the 5600 and B550, and...
