power

I built my PC back in February, and everything was working great up until a couple of weeks ago. Recently, I started running into a bunch of strange issues that all seem to be connected to the motherboard. For example, my wireless headphones started picking up weird static in some USB ports and...

Why is the balanced power supply circuit of the amd ryzen processor set to 99% minimum power? Is this normal? I'm afraid that with such power consumption, the processor will wear out quickly. What happens if you lower the minimum value to 10%? Which is better when the consumption is at least...

I replaced my mobo & cpu with ones from a friend that worked perfectly and now the PC shows no lights and won’t turn on at all. I don’t have it fully put back together (GPU isn’t in & USB 3.0 header isn’t) but everything else is there. Gigabyte B560M DS3H i5-11600K Gskill 16gb ram (one stick)...

Hello. I am trying to profile energy usage of all components in a laptop when running a simulation. I know that fans don't draw that much power but is it possible to estimate how much power fans draw in a laptop? As in are there built in sensors similar to those that estimate gpu and cpu power...

Lately, my PC hasn't been shutting down. When I proceed to shut it down, the display goes to sleep, the graphic card's fan/light and motherboard's lights turn off, but everything else (cooler, ram fans) stays running). I looked around online and have so far turned off fast start-up in power...

I'm helping a friend's PC. It's using an Asrock Steel Legend B450 motherboard. The motherboard light blinks on its own even when the power cable isn't plugged in. When the power cable is plugged in and turned on, the PC won't start. I've already tried resetting it with a jumper, but it still...

I recently moved apartments and have been having trouble with my PC. It powers on and boots fine, but will suddenly power off after about five minutes. There is no blue screen or "shutting down" message it just turns off. I know things can get jostled around during a move, but I'm not sure what...

My EVGA 500 BR PSU is only 5 months old, my PC for the last month or so was randomly shutting down & restarting immediately with the kernel power 41 (63) event in Event Viewer, it was either at idle or during use, searches turned up that the most likely culprit is the PSU, but I decided to do...

Hi all. So I'm in a bit of a trouble here. My PC won't boot up - it's stuck between powering on and then off (all within a second) - and it keeps doing this until I turn off the PSU on the back. Sometimes I can get my PC to power on and use it like I normally would, play games, watch movies...

I've read some that says cheaper UPS will have trouble with APFC PSU, then some again that says modern UPS/PSU should have no trouble with the type of sine wave. I've also read from some that the only ones that care for pure sine waves are motors. There's also some that says there are just some...

Hi all, I'm looking for a machine that does not use a lot of power because it will be on 24/7. I'm deciding between two models. one model uses the Intel Core i5-14500 that has a TDP rating for 65watts and the other model has a Intel Core i7-13700T that has a TDP rating of 35watts. I got this...

So I just bought a B760M ddr4 wifi gaming plus motherboard it works great! But I paired it with a 14700F and used hwinfo64 to check everything if there's overheating or anything I notice the pkg power never goes over 110 watts. Pl1 is 219 and pl2 is 219 so I'm confused I run R23 and it gets way...

Hey y'all. My first post. Just trying to get some troubleshooting ideas. Long story short. My wife went ballistic. Hid my case and then hammered the glass. Didn't drop or anything like that. I used a shop vac and got all the glass out I could without removing anything . When you plug power to...

my computer has a board Asustek Z10PE-D16, how can I force it to stay always on? and never stay powered off? It happens that my users (Windows Server 2022) sometimes shut it down, and then I need to drive an hour to turn it back on I wonder if there is a jumper that makes it always start?

Is the Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 750W worth it over the Thermaltake Toughpower GF A3 750W for an extra $10? Or just please help me find a decent 750w 80plus gold ATX fully modular pcu (hopefully better than those) under 100... I was thinking about maybe getting a RX 7900 GRE so I would need a...

As the title says, it powers on but none of the ports work. My MSI motherboard ACE x570 is giving the no GPU detected error code. Already tried 2 different comps and it's the same issue. If the GPU is getting power, but the motherboards are giving the no GPU detected error code, could it be...

In the past couple of weeks while gaming, my computer has suddenly powered off with no warning. When this occurs, strangely, the PC's internal RGB remains on, while everything else powers off. My fans stop spinning, monitors stop receiving signals, and power button doesn’t do anything until I...

My UPS's battery can only output 300 watts which can only keep my pc on for 10-15 seconds while idle. I got highpower 800 watt psu. Will the UPS damage my components because it cant give enough power to my computer? I've seen my rgb fans leds getting less bright when a power outage happened...

Hey, guys! About 2 days ago I slept my pc and then disconnected it from the power cable to move it. (Although I did first switch the PSU off and then disconnect the power cable, I feel like this might have been an issue since PC wasn't fully turned off) After that it wouldn't turn on. At first I...

I see plenty of discussions on Tom's reviews about the power efficiency of various GPUs. That's a good topic, but for my system 99 hours out of 100 or more it's actually just browsing the web or 2D architecture or maybe in TurboTax. On Windows. Where can I go to see how the cards perform in...
