I've got my OS, and some other applications and files such as Adobe on a Samsung 870 EVO SATA SSD. I've got a new build ready to put together but I'm not sure if I should do a fresh install of Windows, clone the drive, or just move the hard drive and continue to use it as my boot drive. I have...

I'm building a new PC for my wife as a Christmas gift. It's a classic story of everything going great until it's time to boot it... On boot I hear a click like everything wants to turn on, but I get no fan spin, nor display. I've tried HDMI out from the board and the GPU with nothing. Holding...

So I recently upgraded my pc with new hardware. This included a new cpu, gpu, power supply, a new motherboard and ram. All i did was switch these parts out with the old ones and started up the computer again. At first the computer would only boot into bios every single time and would constantly...

I recently built a new pc a few days ago and games crash in a seemingly random timeframe, they will crash to desktop, giving no message and instantly cutting off audio and visual feedback once the crash occurs, as if I was alt-f4ing. One of those blue screens I read the error for and it was...

Hi, I've just built a PC with the following parts list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TW3zZJ. I bought the GPU used on ebay, but I think there is some kind of problem with either the GPU or the motherboard. Its very difficult to get the PC to post. I have to power on/off multiple times before...

Hello, I recently built my new PC and upon installing windows was immediately hit with MEMORY_MANAGEMENT error (so far 5 times, and kernal security check error only once). I eventually got Windows to install and ran MEMTEST, which resulted in over 7000 errors (insane). I've tried reseating the...

Just got a new motherboard and processor. Everything is fine, I just need to know what to do now. I've read that you should do a clean install of windows for the motherboard but I'm not sure why and the links most people provide are way too complicated. I still have "windows" on my old HDD...

As the title suggests, I've recently built my first ever gaming PC and so far have been really happy with how it's come together. That is until I've started testing it with games. I started with a run through on Total War: Warhammer. Whenever I enter a battle, the game lasts for roughly 4...

Hi all, doing a new build for a friend but the system does not output any display. The board cycles through the troubleshooting lights and the fans, GPU and keyboard etc turn on but no display signal is emitted. The VGA (white) and Boot (green) lights stay on and nothing else happens. Build...

Hi Everyone. I just upgraded my PC (kept old power supply), and there's an odd behaviour now. When I switch on the socket to which the PC is connected, the computer automatically boots. I've never seen this behaviour before, so not sure how to resolve it to ensure it doesn't happen. Not sure...

Just finished building my PC. When I had everything tucked away, I powered it on and made it to the BIOS screen. I powered it off, cleaned up the table a bit, plugged in my mouse, keyboard, and USB to update the BIOS, powered it on and now I get the amber VGA debug LED on the motherboard. All...

Hi all - As the title states, I'm constructing a new PC, and the mentioned board refuses to POST or display any output. The system fan and PSU fan spin up, but it never shows the bios splash screen. I've tried: * both HDMI and DP out of the main board, * both HDMI and DP out of a separate...

This is my second time building, this time nothing will come on. No lights, fans or nothing. There has been a light behind the power button on the case but it went away. The flash bios button will work if I press it on the motherboard, That’s been the only light or “sign of life” I know the...

Hello everyone! I have been having an issue with a new PC build. It will lock up and show a yellow DRAM light on the motherboard. I can not use the power button to shutdown and have to use the PSU to power the PC down at that point. All the parts were purchased brand new and are listed below...

Hi All, I have today just built my first PC, that being said it doesn’t turn on at all. Everything is plugged in to the best of my knowledge but my knowledge is very very limited as to where certain wires go, piecing the parts together was fine but when I start seeing wires such as Power SW...

So I am finally putting out to build my dream PC, I already have a decent gaming PC but as for most enthusiasts it is not enough for its time. I have heard a lot about the Ryzen 7 7800X3D being the best gaming CPU out currently, so that is where I have started my PC build. My first question is...

Recently a friend started to look for new PC parts. In his case new means some second hand good component but this is irrelevant. His old PC has an old 2nd gen XEON, 24GB of RAM and 1050 Ti. For his new build he got a 2070 super, 16GB of RAM and Asus TUF X470 Plus Gaming. He uses his PC...
