I was able to use the HDD previously and put some files in it but suddenly after a few days it won't work. It can be read on the PC but if you open it, it makes the PC lag. Same for the Defragment and Disk Management , it won't open unless you remove the external HDD. I tried this on 2 other...

Left my computer running a game and when I came back after roughly one hour, it was frozen on the boot screen. Ever since, the motherboard speakers keep on making a clicking/ticking sound. At some point it stops for a couple of seconds and then the computer restarts to repeat the same. I'm sure...

Today's morning, I was working on coding something, and suddenly my screen messed up, and music I was playing stuck (repeated single noise). It's like I unplugged my RAM when system is running. I tried to restart, Windows logo displayed, when it disappeared ( normally this should be turned to...

Hey everyone. So yesterday I decided to upgrade my pc from a B550 Tomahawk and Ryzen 7 3800XT to an 11700k and Asus Prime Z590-P. (Motherboard is free on Microcenter with the CPU purchase). However, once I installed windows again and went back to my BIOS to turn on my XMP to get the full speed...

I bought a pre-built on Facebook about 5 months ago and the Pc ran fine. I started having performance drop due to CPU heat issues. So I recently upgraded my CPU Cooler to Corsair H150I and Case to Corsair 4000D When I would push the power button all case fans and RGB light up for half a second...

I didn't disconnect anything within the case, only the external cables(mouse, kb, etc). I used compressed air, only took like 3 mins because I stopped when the canister got cold and the blowing of air weakened. The only thing I touched are the fans so they wouldn't overspin. I tried cleaning...

So I just upgraded my pc from an i7 4770k to a ryzen 5 5500, then was so impressed with the actual preformance of the pc. And well I bought a r9 5900x of my friend for a good price. But since initial build the system was slow to post and first boot, then remembering that linus, Jay and Kyle...

I recently upgraded from the 1650 super to the 3060. It runs normally with the 1650 super but whenever the 3060 is in the computer a clicking noise(similar to the powering up click) can be heard every now and then. Is it because my PSU is too weak for the GPU? It's a 550w PSU, or is the GPU...

I decided to do a clean Windows 10 install on my ROG g752vt, but after installing windows 10 on the nvme it wont boot to windows. The BIOS only even lists the drive as a boot option when CSM is enabled and the SATA mode is set to AHCI. I have tried every combination of boot and storage...

I have a Deepcool Matrexx 55 mesh 4f case and everything has gone well except one of the fans is off balance. When you look at the fan when it’s spinning it wobbles just enough to make a noise. How would I go about fixing the fan since the fans are pre-installed in the case?

I’m building a pc for the first time and the connections for the RGB are confusing the hell out of me. I have a Deepcool Matrexx 55 Mesh and I can’t figure out for the life of me how to wire it. I’m not sure if I’m just missing something simple or I’m genuinely missing a part.

Good Day Everyone So two months ago i replaced my Phanteks PH-TC14PE with a brand new Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML120L V2 in hopes that i get better temps. My Phanteks cooler had no problems running cool on 35° on idle and 65° on stress loads. I do understand that this is a hot Cpu with 130 W...

When I first power up my pc it now makes the noise you can hear in the video. Any ideas on why that noise happens and after running for a while it stops. The noise also stops after doing multiple restarts of the pc. I have an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor 3.59 GHz with a 2070 super...

When I play games, my gpu fans ramp up loudly and slows down quickly every couple seconds or so. It doesn't do this until I start running any games (Elden Ring, God of War, Valorant, League, etc.). After I quit my games, it starts doing the same thing even when idle. The problem seems to go away...

Hello, I have had this problem with my PC on and off for the past couple months now but it seems to be happening more frequently and I think its time I try to find out a proper solution. When I am using my PC it will randomly lose signal to my monitors and then my fans will rev up to max speed...

I've tried plugging in two different fans in my motherboard but they just wont spin. I have a gigabyte b450m ds3h and there's only one port for a fan other than the one for the CPU fan (which works fine.)

Hi, I just upgraded from ASRock AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT Challenger D 8G OC to Palit GeForce RTX 3080 Ti GameRock, and something that seems somewhat strange, is that I appear to have lower frame rate in most games (could be that GeForce experience needs tweaks, so leave any advices below) Anyway...

I recently benchmarked my PC to see how it's holding up now that its a few years old.
