Troubleshoooting

So my PC only boots sometimes (that's an understatement) but when it does it runs perfectly fine. Most of the time it has no video output and no usb function and hangs, with no indication it's running apart from fans and LEDS, it turns off instantly from this state upon pressing power button. I...

Hi all, I'm relatively new to pc building and I had just completed this new build using the kraken 360 cooler. The AIO itself doesn't seem to be powering on and the fans only budge a little but everything else in the pc works. I've attached a video to show what's happening. I've tried everything...

I've been trying to help a friend troubleshoot his pc for a bit now since his computer was extremely underperforming on most restarts. After some testing we found that his cpu clock speed is 800mHz whenever he gets a "bad boot" and on the rare occasion he gets a "good boot" his clock speed is...

Hi everyone I ran into a pretty bad problem with my PC. I cannot even get it to POST anymore. A few days ago i was just using it normally and all of the sudden, the PC cuts its own power and since then i cannot get to start again. The system is bit old yes, but i took good care of it over the...

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...

Hi, today my computer stopped booting. The motherboard DRAM light and CPU diagnostic lights are flashing: the DRAM light turns on for around 10 seconds, and then the CPU light flashes and turns off and goes back to the DRAM light. I looked around online, and most reports of this happening are on...

I repasted my dad's laptop and now the fan won't spin unless I run Asus fan diagnostic tool, the fans reach its maximum rpm and the diagnostic tool doesn't find any problem. But when I'm not running the diagnostic, the fans would sit at 0 rpm. The CPU temp sits around 50-60°C after 10 minutes of...

Background: So, I have just moved house, and my PC has been in storage for a few weeks. I also have a new monitor. These are the only 2 events that have occurred since my PC was booting normally. Oh, and I updated the chipset driver from 10.1.1.44 to 10.1.1.45 the other day but this issue was...

So the yellow led and red led pops up meaning my mobo doesnt recognize the cpu and ram, tho I suspect this is a ram issue. Now this gets quite weird because I had that issue before but fixed it by putting my ram in a2/b2, then no lights were on, then removed the one on b2 because I was trying...

Hi! I’ve been experiencing random freezing/stuttering with nothing showing in event viewer, i’ve tried fresh windows install last night and tested again today but still getting the same issue and it’s almost impossible to replicate it, both of my monitors will freeze briefly then readjust...

Hey everyone, I've had my PC for about 3 years, built it back in 2021, and got a new GPU recently (rtx 4060) and everything worked fine, but recently decided to change the mobo since it was outdated, and the CPU as well along with it. (Gigabyte Aorus B650 Elite AX mobo and AMD Ryzen 7600x CPU.)...

When I first built this system, I tried enabling XMP, and started getting BSoDs somewhat randomly (usually ranging from every 30 minutes to every 8 hours or so). These seem to occur regardless of what I have running on the system at the time of the crash. I was annoyed by them for awhile, then...

Hi, I have been having this artifacting problem come and go which would fix itself when i ran heaven benchmark for some reason.

Hey all. I bought Antec fusion fans which come with a fan/RGB hub included. I have 4 fans plugged into it, and they all light up/power on - but only one of them (the one plugged into the first slot) adjusts its RPM (and displays the speed accordingly) while the rest blow at 100%. These are 4...

I've been looking to upgrade my PC for a while now, so earlier today I got an unused RTX 3060 Ti to replace my old GTX 1660 SUPER. After removing my old card and seating the new one, there was no signal being sent from the card. When plugging in my old card, everything still worked fine. I made...

So I have an older computer I've been trying to get working after not using for about 6 months. It sometimes boots up and runs apparently fine, no abnormal temperatures, running as fast as I'd expect. Its only able to turn on properly one in every 8 times though. The other times, fans and...

Hi, I would say I am new to overclocking. I disabled a lot of energy features in BIOS, I set the constant clock ratio multiplier to 51, and the cache ratio to 45. I have a great cooling for my system. I have no problem playing games, running stress tests, and being idle... but When I wake up...

Hi I'm having issues after a bios update and would appreciate any advice you all can offer. I am running a 5800x cpu with a gtx3080. My PC had been working since I built it in 2020 but I had had some stability issues and decided to update my BIOS. After I did this, I was unable to boot into...

So, about a week ago, I unhooked everything from my PC (Besides CPU/Heatsink and RAM) and aired out the GPU, Radiator, Fans, PSU, and Case with the compressed air tank we got in our garage. (Was just doing some cleaning because it was very dusty in the places I can't normally reach) Plugged...

Hi! I’ve had an issue for a few months where I would hear an intermittent clicking/rattling sound from my PC. It would usually be a few quick half second bursts of this sound. I first thought HDD until I was able to get close when the sound happened and realized it was emanating from the top...

Hi! Around 8 months ago my self built computer began acting up. When opening certain applications, weird graphical colorshows appear randomly on the screen. (see images). The issues appear in chome, edge, steam (launcher only), Lol launcher and other mostly "web-based" applications. It also...

I've been having this issue with my desktop sound for a while and I have no idea how to fix it now. For starters; sometimes when I'm playing a game, the sound will completely cut out and will only come back on when I do some sort of interaction, mainly when using mouse1. Also for some reason...

I've got a modern AMD build encountering a weird issue and I can't get to the root of them so far The PC runs normally. I can game on it, browse websites, perform normal computer interactions. But occasionally the entire PC will freeze and become unresponsive. RGBs. Apps. Sounds. Windows OS...

Hello, I've recently upgraded my graphics card and there's an issue that I'm facing, it happened with the previous card as well. My computer goes black while playing games. The LCD gives a no signal warning and then its off, I still hear the sound of the game for a while after which there's...

Yesterday i was watching a movie and when moving my monitor, something fell and probably hit the cables and the image just stoped. I tried restarting the pc and was stuck in a loop trying to boot the pc. After that i gave up and tried again today and didn't get any signal, tried to unplug the...

Hey, I'm in the middle of building myself a new rig and it's becoming a complete nightmare. At the current moment, everything seems to power up okay, LEDs, etc but there's no display or POST. Since I have an Asus motherboard, the power is flashing rapidly indicating that the DRAM has an issue...

Ok so a couple of weeks ago I walked away from pc for like 10 minutes and came back and all of my monitors were strobing, I restarted pc and everything was fine. A couple of days later I was watching YouTube and all of my monitors went black, pc did not restart or anything, all of my rgb was...

Video Just installed this new WD Blue 4TB HDD. It makes this sound every time it stops, such as on shut down, sleep, and sometimes when idle. I've done some research and this seems to be a fairly common issue, although I could not find an answer on whether this is normal or a cause for concern.

Recently I have been getting an awful amount of BSODs on my computer. They ONLY happen when I load specific games. Titles like Doom Eternal and Road 96 basically crash instantly, while titles like Titanfall 2 and CSGO never crashed once. Temps were also fine all the time. My graphics drivers are...

*My threads got merged so the beef of this thread is now a comment below the post, but this is relevant as well. Wanted to know if these pins look normal for a LGA 1200 socket. I did a little research, and it seems that the pins on these sockets are intended to be somewhat "bent," but I don't...
