troubleshooting

tl;dr: flashed BIOS on Asus X470-F so I could use new Ryzen 5900X, but it won't post and my motherboard is showing the BOOT Q-LED error ? So I can't tell if I screwed the pooch or if this is an actual error that's not my fault. I finally decided to upgrade my PC with a new CPU and case (GPU...

Following a clean reinstall of windows on my machine, windows installed my system reserved partition on Disk 0 which is one of my HDD drives while the OS was installed on disk 3 (C) on my SSD. This rendered my drive and made it unusable. In order to format and make the drive usable, I moved the...

I have had this issue where when I play games with friends, my buddies rtx 2060 performs better than my rtx 2060 super, this does not make sense to me, even youtube videos people have uploaded with the same card perform significantly better than mine. I'm not sure why this is happening. I do...

First time AIO user here so i'm a bit confused on the proper setup for an AIO when it comes to fan monitoring. In the bios the monitoring for the AIO does show up and I can see the rpm if that matters. I've tried looking into this a little bit but i'm getting conflicting threads of information...

I snapped up a 5900x earlier today and I noticed that it was getting quite quite hot just idling and doing nothing basically. I've looked on the forums and seen lots of people saying quite similar things and people concluding that it is just meant to be like that. I figured the best course...

Screen Grab of Hardware Usage So I have been playing Escape from Tarkov recently, and have been getting a lot of 1-3 second freezes & a hand full of stutters. When I pulled up Task Manager real quick, I saw that one of my SSD's was maxing at 100% usage, leading me to believe this is causing...

Today I noticed that my vcore and vids voltages are pretty high, I'm running everything at auto because my bobo is an a520 and overclock's disabled. The voltages(core vid) are reaching 1.463v on idle, I took a look on the internet and that's normal. Butt things change when CPU is on full load, I...

Greetings guys, long story short, a friend I sometimes help with plugging in hardware stuff into his PC just bought a new graphics card. I did unplug and remove the old one and added the newer one. Everything ran like a charm, as usual, he even did a view tests with a mid-end graphics game...

so basically a couple of weeks ago I swapped my old pc into a new case so I could fit my 3080 I got right, everything was fine and it was working great! a day or two goes by and I start getting random blue screens due to access violation basically right so I figured my ram was going and I was...

Hey guys, so I have an interesting problem that just started happening the past few weeks. It has happened three times as of today. My PC will shut off during gaming (playing escape from tarkov), but the RAM and IO lights will stay on. Almost like its in sleep mode. Both monitors will lose...

I’ve been having a problem with my pc as of this morning, everything was working fine yesterday. I first noticed the pc was turning off unexpectedly, and the cpu light has gone red on the motherboard. The pc will turn on fine but after 5-10 minutes it will turn off again and the fans and lights...

Whenever my PC turns on (either from being powered off or from rebooting) it gets stuck in the VGA LED light from my Motherboard. I then have to press the power on button twice manually for it to actually post and boot onto Windows, where all works perfectly fine. This has happened since I...

So I Switched out my 3060 ti with a gigabyte 3080 and I switched out my seasonic gold 650w psu with a 1000w g6 evga gold psu. When I booted it on my 3080 lit up, my fans were spinning, and the psu was running, but I had no signal on my monitor :/ I put my 3060 back in and it started running...

I'm in a bit of a pickle with my computer and idk if anybody else had this problem so I figured I'd ask. So my D drive (which is my storage) just suddenly started saying it has 100kb free despite me not adding anything to it, and last night it had like 40 or 50gb free. I tried deleting something...

Hey everyone, I built this pc 11 hours ago and I’m still troubleshooting it. At the beginning I thought that my b550 is not updated to the latest bios, so I did but my 5600x is still not working and the red light is on. I also thought that the cpu cable was malfunctioning so I tried the two...

When I was installing my Io shield I bent the little metal flaps outward (i cut my finger doing that lol) and I discovered later that they serve the purpose of grounding the ports. I tried bending them back, didn't work. I'd need to remove the motherboard from the case to do so and since I'm a...

I had a 140gb SSD in my PC set aside for my other PC until got anotger SSD. Same brand and everything I swapped the drives. Mind you the 140gb was formatted but it was completely empty. I have my windows 10 installed on my 1tb nvme drive. After the swap my computer booted right to bios and...

I've recently built a computer and my GPU (Ryzen 5 5600g integrated graphics) has started to power throttle. Is it bad? Can It damage the components? There's a little bit of thermal paste on green part of cpu, is this problem related to it? Please help! Is my PC going to break? Here's a pic of...

I accidentally got some thermal paste on the side (green part) of my processor (ryzen 5 5600g), it was the stock thermal paste that came with the stock cooler and I couldn't clean it all off. Booted of my system and it has been working fine for 8 days. I'm afraid of cleaning it because i'm not...

I'll cut to the chase, I've got a new SSD that's faster (gen 4 instead of gen3) and larger (2TB instead of 1TB) My motherboard is not detecting either SSD card in the second M2 slot. (according to the visualization and list in the BIOS) The first M2 slot detects both SSD cards, so the cards...

Hello, I've recenly built a new computer and everything worked fine for some days, but yesterday a problem appeared. When I connected my headset to the front panel jack the audio was fine, but there was a weird noise going on my microfone, like a buzzing or something like that. Other people...

Hi guys, i've ran into a problem and could really use some help, today i was playing tf2 and csgo, with both games this happened twice, my monitor turns off but my pc is still on and everything i checked event viewer and it's marked as power kernel 41, ive tried reinstalling windows, used ddu to...

I have recently swapped to WIFI since my apartment that I moved to has terrible powerline accessibility, (powerline light is red with slow connections and sometimes connection drops entirely almost 24/7) works perfectly with the red light about 40-50% of the time What I got and where I got it...

I had just powered down my system after using it like normal. The next day, I try powering on the system but only the PC turns on (LED lights turn on and fans spin). I have double checked the monitors, unplugged everything from the PC, reseated the memory, and tried resetting the CMOS battery...

The Problem: For about 6 months, I've been experiencing periodic (once every 4-5 hours) freezing and stuttering. These stutters are very jarring and freaky, like a snippet of audio gets looped and the framerate chugs, it actually sounds like it's about to BSOD but never does. This isn't a minor...

4 years ago I bought 2 sets of 16 GB Corsair Vengeance RGB ram, that have the XMP profile to OC to 3000Mhz. But since I've bought those sticks, and 4 years later, I've had an issue with a random Black screen where the Screens go down, USB keyboard/mice lights go dark but the case fans, and...

Hi all, having the darndest time trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong with my RAID array and a new SSD drive. I bought a new SSD drive to add to my home-built system. Everything has been working fine and continues to work fine, but I can't get the new SSD to be detected in Windows as a...

Hi. So i recently upgraded my motherboard and CPU, and everything worked perfectly until yesterday when i when to dinner, and when i came back i though the computer was in sleep mode, because there was light in the keyboard and mouse, but no fan spinning. So i turned it off with a long press on...

Hi all, I'm hearing strange noises from my RTX 3060 I believe, at first I thought it might be coil whine but I couldn't confirm it. Changing fan speed doesn't seem to affect it either and it emits the winding, high pitched noise (last 6 seconds of the video below) every minute or so. What do...

Hi everyone, first time poster here. I'd like to apologize for the length of the post but I think it's important I clarify everything. My computer over the last few months has had this issue where, under load, the monitor and all of the USB ports would disconnect. The computer, however, was...

Hi, my PC has randomly stopped powering on after sleep mode on windows 10. During the sleep mode to wake it up I tried pressing the keys on the keyboard, clicking my mouse and pressing the power button. I noticed when I clicked my mouse the LEDs lit up but nothing else. Those didn't work so I...

A friend of mine just upgraded from an i7-6700k to an i7-12700k and MSI Z690A motherboard. Can't seem to figure out why it won't even read the drives but through the pictures it seems to be detecting them. I wanna assume that the reason being is because of the new motherboard, he has to...

I recently made this custom build: CPU | Intel Core i7-12700K 3.6 GHz 12-Core Processor CPU Cooler | Noctua NH-D15S 82.52 CFM CPU Cooler Motherboard | Asus TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS D4 ATX LGA1700 Motherboard Memory | Kingston Fury Renegade 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory Storage | Samsung...

So I've been having this issues for the past couple of months that the pc just would have blue screens and stutters and the blue screens have stopped (except last week it happened again when I changed something in the bios, but I turned the setting off and it didn't happen again) and then, 3...
