Hi, I have a Lenovo pre-built that is no longer working, it started with different BSOD messages which then progressed to BSOD with no text, just a blank blue screen. After that I started my troubleshooting by resetting the CMOS and even replacing it, reseating the RAM...

Hello, while I was in the middle of using my PC, it randomly shut off and since then I have tried to turn it back on, but it just makes a click noise and that's it, no movement of fans at all. I tried pulling out and reconnecting all the cables on the motherboard, PSU, and GPU which didn't do...

Hello all, I am returning again after prematurely marking my last post as solved. I thought my issue was resolved, but it had only improved slightly but never went away.

I built my first full PC about two months ago, all parts are brand new. Everything was fine until my AIO started making a loud grinding noise yesterday, so I figured that it was time to shut down the PC and try to fix the issue. I was playing Cyberpunk at the time, and temps got up to the high...

I recently put a pc together. At first it wasn’t booting properly but I connected it to a video output and took some other steps which aren’t important. The important thing is that it booted. I assumed that what I had wrong was a front panel cable which was slightly out, but when I went to boot...
