troubleshooting

My PC will randomly stop outputting video, audio, and peripheral signals but the system continues to run. All fans continue to spin and all motherboard LEDs continue to light up. I am forced to hold the power button to restart it as I am left without any way to interact with the system. When I...

So here is a rundown of what is happening. I installed a brand new GPU EVGA 3070 TI FTW to my build. The old gpu was AMD Radeon 6600 and having different issues than my current. Every couple of days Ill turn on the pc and games will be at 15-20 fps and just locked. I will have no GPU stats on...

Just got a brand new SSD earlier (a 960GB Kingston A400) and I'm just installing a few games onto it. But then after installing two games, the write speeds dropped to at an average of about 8-12 mb/s, and both the active time and average response time hovered in the really high values (90-100%...

Hi, I recently bought a gaming PC and I'll include the specs below. After playing video games for about 2 hours with no issues, my gaming pc starts doing this weird freeze thing and I would have to shut down the entire PC and restart. I don't think it's a temp problem, but please point me...

Hello, since yesterday midday I have been troubleshooting my new pc build trying to understand the problem and get it to boot. I’ve tried everything between heaven and earth. When I turn on the PC every fan and all the rgb turns on, the qled display on the asus mobo first shines red on cpu...

I've been having issues since last Friday. My computer was acting up after a storm, so I'm not sure if there was a power surge, but my attempts to troubleshoot didn't help or may have made things worse. I posted here (Question - Computer will not start up, already tried many troubleshooting...

hi, so recently while playing valorant ive noticed that about every 30 seconds or so my fps drops drastically from around 50 (which isnt that great on its own) down to 10. this makes the game unplayable and lasts for about 15-20 seconds. I checked gpu-z and turns out my gpu clock speed was going...

Hello everyone, my computer recently failed to boot, instead choosing to scroll text reading: "SetVariable██ : UnsupportedInitCbuiVariable : Unsupported". It scrolled and quickly filled the screen, with variations to the full blocks. Image...

Today I upgraded the PC I had with a new PSU and GPU, moving everything to a new case (I've had this computer for about two years, about a month ago I upgraded to a Ryzen 5600, updated the BIOS and everything was fine). Upon finishing the build, the GPU gives no video (though the RGB does light...

HI! Below is a link to my pc build and specs, I have also attached a screenshot from the resource monitor: https://pcpartpicker.com/b/D29NnQ View: https://imgur.com/ziCYn7L I have enabled XMP and am not using a fresh copy of windows as it booted to an old SSD I had installed. Not adept in...

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...

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...
