troubleshooting

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...

I've tried taking 1 ram stick out. I've tried all 4 slots. I've looked at the cpu socket pins. I've looked at the cpu power pins. I've looked at the MOBO power pins. I've flashed the latest bios. I've reseated everything several times including the CPU, the heatsink, the m2 ssd's. Everything's...

Turned my PC after being away for a couple of months to be greeted by this issue, was working perfectly beforehand. Basically the PC turns on and lights up, all the fans spin etc, but the display doesn't seem to be getting any signal. I've separately checked the monitor with my laptop and it...

Hello! I got this LG UltraGear 24'' IPS FHD 24GN60R-B.AWZM and I notice that when I turn it on, the pixels slowly updates when watching videos for some minutes, then after some minutes it becomes perfect. Also when launching some programs only for the first time (OBS/Discord) looks like the PC...

Hi, i've been having issues recently with my PC, on boot it instantly goes to code 15 orange, for about 2 min it will sit there until it eventually loads into a BSOD with "inaccesible boot drive". the only work around is to reset CMOS, set up bios and exit out, it will then boot, into a rather...

I just built a new pc fresh Valid install of windows i boot in and everythings fine for about 5 or sometimes 30 mins then the internet would go out like a driver issue, updated all the drivers but also my external hardrives go offline as well, the drives were in my front usb ports

So I just had this PC built at Micro Centre a week ago as of today and after a few days of use it began to randomly restart with no error message. A key thing with these restarts is that when they happen, everything ceases to function one bit at a time. First, my bluetooth audio goes out and...

Hi there, i'd like to just quickly clarify, that the shutdowns, are not random, and follow a disturbing pattern. Under a 3D stress test performed by OCCT, after running for around the 7 min mark, my computer shuts down. without a BSOD, and event viewer is just as confused, this is definitely...

Hi, hopefully this is the right place to ask Last week when I booted up my PC, it showed a strange behavior. I couldn't find an exact match of the case that I encountered so not sure what's going on. Something worth to mention, the week before it happened, there were multiple power outages in...

Hello, I'm encountering an odd issue with my new build. About every 3-5 boots (it seems to be completely random) it will power on, post with the usual progress wheel, but then instead of booting windows, it just gives a black screen. The monitor is still receiving a signal, but its just black...

I bought a computer second hand and it was sent to me by post, and yes, that was probably a bad idea, no need to comment that 😂 sender did not unmount any components, it was sent as is, in one piece. It seemed to be OK packing and I cannot see any visible damages. When I plug it in, there is no...

Pretty sure my system is underperforming (based on the specs and comparison to other people with similar specs). I built it myself (first time) and I'm not sure if I've done everything correctly. Pulling like 30 fps on Overwatch and Valorant at Low Settings. Also, weird issue where my mouse...

I'd have this issue for a year now. My PC randomly shuts off to black and has a critical kernel power event listed as the cause. I've changed out my power supply, turned off overclocking, unplugged everything nonessential to reduce power use, and tested the surge protector. It keeps happening. A...

Hello everyone, I come here looking for help as I'm struggling to find the underlying cause of my roommate's computer's problems. To put it simply, his computer has been having BSOD on a regular basis. On average, he has about 2 to 5 crashes a day. So he's asked me to look into it. I've spent...

Hello all I am reaching out for the 3rd time now regarding system wide hitching/stuttering in all pc environments. System stutters in every game, on desktop, and in BIOS. Back in 2021 I built a new at the time pc with all top end components. The system has this stuttering issue that remains...

I've tried to run the fans to make sure the case works but as you see nothing worked beside of the motherboards LED. I needed an adapter to plug the RGB controller to the motherboard and as I know you can run the pc without plugging it there because it is only for controls l've also tried to...

During gaming primarily my pc will black screen and restart. Pretty stumped on whats going on with my black screening system failure issue. 3 months ago it was doing this constantly and i couldn’t use the pc for more than 30 min at a time. To try to fix that issue i re installed my whole pc...

TL;DR, my new 2024 G14 battery seems to last 9 hours in cases where it seems like it should be lasting 10+ going by online reviews. Only difference is my ambient temperature is a bit higher. Trying to figure out if this is expected or abnormal. Hello everyone, I recently...

Good morning everyone, it's my first post so sorry if I did some mistakes, some time ago I did put a GPU in a PC while running (I know a pretty dumb thing) after that with and without GPU my PC doesn't output video signal, so I thought that I broke something in the motherboard or the GPU so...

Hello, I have a noise in my PC that occurs almost randomly and I am unsure what it is. It's a bit faint in the video, but it occurs twice. You may have to turn up your volume to hear it, but it's fairly audible in person. I say "almost" because it seems to happen randomly when using my PC...

Hi all, For a few weeks my PC is crashing randomly when using the GPU (i.e. playing game or watching videos). The screen goes black, the sound freezes and lags, and after a few seconds the computer reboots. In the Event Log I'm not seeing anything except an Event 41 - Kernel-Power. I'm not...

Hey everyone, I'm reaching out because i feel like my computer is lacking in performance. When I contacted the store where I bought the computer, they just said there's nothing they can do about it and that it’s normal. Asus said the same thing. But here's the thing: Cyberpunk struggles to get...

Hallo, This is more of a what do you think this could be than anything. I've got an RTX 3060 & an old BenQ xl270z 144hz monitor. A few weeks ago I had driver corruption and a faulty DP cable (or so I thought...maybe it wasn't) at the same time. Used DDU and got a new DP 1.4 cable, took some...

Hi all, I come here looking for help as my new computer won't work for some reason I can't figure out. When I turn it on, everything seems to run just fine : fans light up, CPU pump lights up, RAM lights up, everything seems to run just fine but the power button keeps blinking and I've no...

My computer frequently freezes during use. It most often occurs during the loading screen of a game, and especially if I'm doing something else on the other monitor. These games are not ones that require a good computer (just league of legends, tft, and valhiem) If I reboot the computer quickly...

So I'm at my wits end. for the past couple years ive been suffering micro-stuttering and frame drops in prettymuch all my games, with a coil whine coming from my tower akin to the sound cicadas make that stops during stutters, the noise is synced perfectly. I know i said it started 2 years ago...

Recently just build a new rig and the pc shuts down when playing demanding games and weird screen glitches occur when playing other games. Launching cyberpunk 2077, rainbow six siege have caused the pc to immediatly turn off and after playing overwatch 2 for around 10 minutes I got an error...

Hello guys, For about 3 or 4 months now I've been getting an issue with my PC. The problem is, when I'm gaming, usually with 140+fps at least the games I play, out of nowhere I get a sudden FPS drop and the game stops for about half a second. I have a log file done with HWinfo where the issue...

Hey, Ive built a PC approximatly four months ago. But today I ran into a problem which I could not resolve by my own. I have noticed on this AM5 system that every 2-3 weeks, the boot cycle takes 5 minutes. I always thought thats because of the new platform. Usually I wait this time or it also...

Hi I recently bought a tp-link ax3000 archer t55e wifi bluetooth adapter for my build since my motherboard doesn't have built in Wi-Fi and ethernet is not an option. I have been using another cheap Wi-Fi adapter by tp-link and, although its low speed, been working just...

Hello, I've been having this problem with my pc since Diablo 4 got released so around June of last year. It started happening after I moved my pc to housesit for a family member and when I was playing diablo 4 for the first time it would hard restart, (Screens go black and pc restarts)...
