Hi all, Yesterday I received a "new" (used) motherboard for my home server (based on 4th gen intel, as doesn't need to be high-end). The specs are as follows: - i5-4670 - ASUS B85M-E Motherboard (previously had MSI H81M-P33) - 16GB 1600MHz HYPERX Fury - 120GB Samsung SSD 2.5" - 500GB Seagate...

Hi there! I have a problem with my Desktop PC that is running Windows 11. I have 18 USB ports in total (16 in the back + 2 on the front). two of the USB ports that are in the back are USB 3.0 and only them works out of the 18 I have. I have tried multiple OSes like Windows 10, 11 and Ubuntu but...

I'm at a complete loss, I've tried everything under the sun to try and fix this issue. I bought this pc from ibuypower (I know) and after a few months it started crashing my games, so I sent it back not once, but twice, for the same issue. The first time they said they replaced the motherboard...

Hi folks, This may be a long post so bear with me. I was out shopping the other day and had an impulse buy moment, so I purchased the Ryzen 5 5600x to upgrade from my Ryzen 5 3600. I had previously looked into this and knew this wasn't a massive upgrade, but I guess I was greedy and wanted to...

So I have a older motherboard. (ASUS B75M-A) And the issue I’m having with this board is It shuts down about one or two seconds after being turned on, Sometimes I can get it turned back on immediately by pushing the power button but sometimes it just won’t do anything until I remove power...

A few days ago my CPU was running hot, fixed it and now the usb ports just stop working every few minutes or so it still gives power to my keyboard and mouse but they don't work in windows during that period, I've reinstalled windows tried different ports, nothing seems to help. Please help. My...

Hi everybody, I recently had to install a new (to me) motherboard as my old one experienced issues. I purchased a used z170a gaming m7 on eBay and installed it. Other specs are an i7 6700k and 16gb ddr4 ram, booting from a Samsung evo 850 ssd. I also have an HDD plugged in for extra storage...

Hey guys, I've been pulling my hair out over this new ram I bought last weekend. I used to use a single 16 gb stick of patriot VIper DDR4 ram at 2400 mhz. I recently sold that and bought a 16 gb set of Corsair LPX 3200Mhz. I've never had this much trouble with my computer. I put in the kit, and...

Peripherals Losing Power In Certain Programs, Possibly Motherboard (X99-Deluxe II) Short version of the problem. Losing power to all peripherals, doesn't matter where they are plugged in at. I think that is all that is happening, the lose of power to devices connected via USB, and nothing else...

Hey everyone! My PC doens't boot for some reason. The power switch turns it on, every fan works, everything lights up, but nothing on the screen, and the power switch and reset buttons don't do anything (even after long pressing). I have to turn off the psu to turn it off, but I can turn it...

Hello, Recently my PC started having weird issue where it would turn off unexpectedly, with variation of time duration in turning off. For example, sometimes, it would turn on my PC and I would hear the fans spin for a second, and then it would turn off, then start again, and then off again...

Back in 2016 I built my first computer and it worked without issue until just recently. I noticed that it would randomly be off when I came back to work on it, and would not power up unless I removed the power cord for a few seconds. Sometimes the computer would shut off while working on a...

For the past few days my computer have been acting weird and Im not even sure where to post this coz it might be a mobo, PSU, or memory. So here are the errors I got for those few days Sometimes its just a black screen I got an error saying about "memory management" (I performed memtest, it has...

My microphone jack on both both the front and back panels emits a loud static pitch and lowers my voice to a point where it can't be heard. I have tried it with multiple different mics and have had no luck. I was wondering whether buying a cheap 3.5mm to USB converter off amazon would be the go...

Ok. Here is the thing. I was using my PC for a while this way. Then I said this to a guy in a computer shop. He said that this is not good for my motherboard and it will consume half of my motherboard life. Is this true? Coz I don't see anything like that. Normal heatings and everything runs...

The donkey writing this post had a bit of an issue when performing a thermal paste re-application, turns out AMD's wraith prism cooler preapplied compound is not exactly the best and my cpu got stuck to it (REALLY STUCK). I tried many methods (such as, twisting, 99% isopropanol and rubbing...

Context: A few days ago I was working on my computer, using it perfectly fine, absolutely NO problems booting up WHATSOEVER , and then my shitty desk (which I've since replaced), slammed down on it shutting it off instantly. I tried to turn it on afterwards but it refused to boot, so I took...

Hey, I was just wondering if the Intel skull canyon is a good value computer for low demand games e.g team fortress 2. But I'm talking mainly about value for your money. Thanks.

Hi folks, I've been a user of Toms Hardware forums for a while, usually just looking though, but never signing up, until today. I've only recently started using a mid-high end(?) PC and I'm looking for some advice. My rig - AvP Venom Black Gaming Case - http:// CPU - i7 4790k @ Base stock...
