Hi All, Tl;DR; I hoovered out my PC case without any anti-static protection or anything, HOWEVER, my PC was acting very slow and strange BEFORE I even did anything, and possibly would have bluescreened if I'd just waited a bit longer. Instead, I shutdown fairly quickly and decided to clean it...

I need help. I built my first pc back in January. It runs fine. Noticed a few issues at first, one of them being that all the USB’s would disconnect the computer would freeze and I would have to hard restart it. This stopped for a while. One issue that has been consistent is that when I boot...

The lights on the board are lit so I am thinking it is getting power (could still be an issue with power but all the cables are seated well and its lit), and power seems to be coming through my USB ports. However when I boot my PC up, it whirrs and lights up but my display remains black. The...
