Troubleshoooting

A grinding sound is coming from the inside of my desktop case. It isn't noticeably affecting performance, but the sound is annoying and I want to address it in case it actually is a problem besides just the noise. Some suspect it is a fan issue, but I am skeptical from prior experience. This is...

Hello, my old rig finally found it's way to heaven. I don't quite understand what exactly died in there. My case is not equipped with a speaker, and mobo has no digital indicator of a trouble. It simply froze with a static picture and did not react on any of my actions, although there was video...

Hello! I'm in some serious need of help as I don't understand what may be going on with my current setup. I'm usually pretty good at figuring these things out but regardless of what I mess around with in bios/other things, I haven't been able to figure it out. I think my setup is more than...

I just upgraded my motherboard, CPU, and CPU cooler. When I turn it on it takes about 30 seconds for the monitor to detect input after pressing the power button. It just shows a blank screen when input is detected. The HDMI is connected to the GPU. The peripherals turn on. I've tried both PCIe...

I built a new PC about 3 weeks ago. In the last few days I've been getting a very odd and frustrating problem. During some games (not all) my PC will randomly just power off and will not come back on no matter what I do until I've reseating the power cable for the Motherboard. I've unplugged...

Hi, I have built several systems but this one is really strange. My pc will not start. so I troubleshooted and couldn't identify the problem. When I insert the G3930 cpu the system won't post, so I placed I5 9400f in the same system to see if it would start and it did. I then placed the G3930...

Hi there - longtime lurker infrequent poster! I have recently managed to get my hands on a few new parts to upgrade my build, I have put these into my machine but now I'm running into quite an odd error. When the GPU is plugged in with PCI-E chords the PC does not turn on at all, when I take...

Hello, around January 1st, I have noticed during online gaming sessions that I would occasionally, and sometimes frequently, get ping spikes for a few seconds when before going back to normal. For example, in League of Legends, I would get around 17ms-18ms at all times, while now it fluctuates...

Hi, whenever I play a light game like roblox, my pc randomly shuts down and then turns on back again. Most of the time there's a BSOD with the error THREAD_STUCK_DEVICE_DRIVER. I have reinstalled every driver I cold find, used DDU to reinstall my graphics drivers and even reinstalled windows...

Hey guys. I just built my pc yesterday. It was running fine for that day and today until it randomly shut off and gave me an orange dram light on motherboard after trying to boot it back up. I have tried: reseating ram, booting with one stick, trying the possibilities of my 4 ram sticks in 2...

I recently did my first new build. I had an Asus TUF Gaming X570 motherboard initially. I thought the motherboard was broken so got it replaced. Now I've received an MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX and getting the same issue. I thought the motherboard was the issue in the first case because when I carried...

Boot loop out of no where I recently built my first pc and it worked perfectly fine for about two weeks. Then all of a sudden after playing Apex Legends for about 2 hours it cut off and started the boot loop. It wasn’t mid game, it was a couple minutes after I closed the window. I’ve done...

I accidentally tried to plug a USB C (coming from a PreSonus audio interface) into a HDMI i thought was the USB C port on the back of my PC. The PC shut down instantly, I freaked out and switched the PSU off, waited and switched it on again. The PC booted kinda slow so I turned it off and...

Hi All, Since I rebuilt my PC in the summer last year upon the release of new Ryzen 3 and Rx5700 I've found quite a few issues around lag spikes and generall instability/crashing when playing games. I'm coming from having Intel I7 & GTX 770 where I had virtually 0 issues with crashing or lag...
