Hi Everyone. I've lurked here for years for technical help but I have had this problem go on for months and I am at my wits end and I am reaching out for help. About 5 months back I built a new computer. After 3 months, that common problem people have with ASUS motherboards happened to me where...

Alright, so I bought an RTX 3090 Ti along with a 1000W EVGA PSU and installed them both a couple of days ago. At first I was playing games like normal for a day or so and everything was fine. (I updated my drivers for everything after installing the new card btw) a day later when my PC started...

MSI B560M-A PRO, AMD Radeon RX 550 640SP, Intel Core i3-10105F CPU. Noticed that If I use the DVI-D cable, the motherboard will sometimes refuse to POST. VGA LED turns solid white. If I do get a video output through DVI, the motherboard takes frighteningly longer to POST. However, if I switch...

Hey guys. Sorry for the long post, I tried to be as detailed as possible. I have a TL;DR at the end. Any help would be appreciated and hopefully people who've struggled with this this share their experience. Issue: I have a rather strange problem with my build from 2014/2015, namely it no...

Hi guys, sorry if this is a long one but I am absolutely stumped as to why my new PC will not post. I built it using all brand-new parts, assembled it as carefully as anyone who just spent £2k on new parts would, then when it came to turning it on for the first time I saw a solid white Q-LED...

This computer was working great for a while, then I took out the original i7-7700 out to put in my brother's new PC and I put an old (but still working prior) Pentium G4560 in its so my mom could have it. Installed a new SSD and tried to boot it just to get 3 long red beeps and 2 short white...

Good day, everyone! I've been having problems with a PC that I built for a friend. I built it this March and started having issues with it after 2 months of usage. I'll detail all the issues I've had with it so far below. The first instance was in late May wherein the PC won't POST after...

Hello, everyone! First of all, I'm sorry if this is the wrong section, as I am not completely sure it's a storage problem or a motherboard problem. Anyway, I have recently bought new PC parts and I used them with an old SATA 3 SSD (a Kingston A400 of 480 GB) as my main drive, and I had no...

I thought I updated correctly, I didn't. I have an ACER Aspire TC-780A with 24G DDR4 RAM. The computer powers on, the power supply fan initializes, the HDD initializes, there is no beep, no POST, no display, the CPU fan does not turn on. Then the computer powers off. It restarts on its own...

So basically my mobo ''died'' 2 months ago. First it had red cpu light, no display, then i shut my pc down via PSU button, and since then it wouldnt boot or even give a single fan spin, it literally acted like it wasn't plugged in power. Then I rmaed it, and they were fixing it for 2 months, and...

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...

Hi all I recently tried to upgrade a Lenovo q190 for my dad. Its a ultra small form factor desktop. I consider myself pretty tech savvy and have built a few desktops, and have upgraded RAM/SSDs on many laptops. This was supposed to be a pretty simple upgrade. The case was easy to open, I did...

Hi all! I recently had to get a new motherboard and reused my previous parts. I noticed that the PC will only POST (might use this term wrongly, what I mean that everything lights up, fans are spinning, but I don't even get to the BIOS screen) if I have memories in channel A. I originally have...

I got home and tried to turn my pc on but the fans and lights powered for a second then went off. I've been trying to fix it and have gotten to the point where now when I plug my PC into the wall and flip the wall's switch the PC tries to power on by itself (doing the LED and fan spin for a...
