pin

Yesterday I did an experiment, I wanted to see what happens if I enter the wrong BitLocker PIN too many times. Well, now I find out what happens! For some reason, today my PINs (both BitLocker PIN and the Windows login PIN) and fingerprint are not recognized anymore. The only thing still working...

Hi! I'm looking for some help in case anyone knows about the subject. I recently bought a new gpu, and I would like to put one of those vertical supports on it, as I really don't want to spend a lot and I want something visually decent I searched on Aliexpress, I found one that caught my...

Not long ago my power supply failed, and I got a new one (slightly more powerful than needed, as I want to upgrade to a B550 board and Zen 3 CPU soon). I also unplugged and removed everything - including the CPU and 3 SATA drives - so I could mount everything on a test bench for easy access...

Okay so, while cleaning the PC I noticed that the 6-pin cable had a loose wire and was ripped from its pin during disassembly (the pin head is still inside the header). The pin is the 6th pin from the "PK8" cable mentioned in the attached diagram, it is mentioned that its a COM pin which I...

I'm re-homing an HP Elitedesk 800 G1 sff into a new case, but it only has one CPU fan header and no chassis fan headers. However, under closer inspection there is one spot for a chassis fan header on the motherboard, but it doesn't actually have the header installed, just bare pads. photos...

Hey! So yesterday I was kind of in a hurry when seating my new AIO and when I was installing the CPU Cooler and Heatsink, the CPU somehow stuck to the Heatsink and I tried to put it in a couple of times before realising. So here I am, with some bent pins and one broken VSS pin. I managed to...

Hey guys, I'm messing around with an old rig of mine and encountered something peculiar. I recently recieved an i5 3470 and wanted to swap said rig's cpu with that one. So here's the thing, the motherboard has a few bent pins on it but runs fine with the already installed cpu, whereas when I...

Hello, Like the title implies I bought an MSI Z87-G43 with the CPU and memory already attached to the mobo. When it arrived I cleaned it and put it in a case and fired it up, the CPU fan pulsed once and turn off for good, tried once more. Same result. I proceed to test multiple PSUs but nothing...

I was trying to diagnose a minor but persistently annoying bug my system has, and as a result i disabled services individually to see which caused the issue. When i disabled the store related services i thought nothing of it, since the description just said that the store apps might not work...

A few months back Windows 10 forced me to set a pin and I did so begrudgingly, writing down the pin on a post-it note and with the intention of resetting it when I had the time. Now a few months down the line, I've not bothered to remove the pin, the post-it is long since lost and today...

I just bought myself a Zotac RTX 3070 (Was lucky enough to manage to get one). Upgraded from an old MSI GTX 970. For some reason, after installing the graphics card I get absolutely no signal. I'm using an HDMI 2.0 cable (a really good high-speed one), but nothing. FYI, my PSU has one 6 pin...

Hi, recently I assembled a computer for the first time in my life (exciting!). When trying to attach the CPU to the motherboard, I got the position wrong (I should have read the manual): I tried to push down the CPU to the board but it wouldn't go in. When I took it up, however, on the...

Recently I built a new PC and it’s my first build. It is all new parts except the motherboard, which I bought refurbished. I promptly bent a couple of the pins on install, but was able to bend back very straight. I had an initial issue where in order to boot, I seemed to have to switch the...

So somehow I have bent pins on part of the motherboard where the processor goes, I read you can straighten them but not sure if I should try. Is there away to fix that? Like can I use parts of another computer to replace it?

View: https://imgur.com/a/16j7NhW As you can see there are 2 ends on the PCIe Cable both are 6+2. But shouldnt one go into the PSU and the other into the GPU? Because one more end which can not be unplugged goes directly into the PSU. Does that mean I have 2 6+2 pins available for the GPU...
