It's an infrequent problem, event viewer hasn't been of any help. There's a kernel power error but the time lines up with me cutting the power. What's even more concerning is that I can't do a force shut down, and yes I held the button down for 20 secs. Graphics drivers are up to date, chip set drivers are up to date, I've disabled fast startup and hibernation. I ran memtest86, let it did all four passes. Ran the System File Checker. Everything seems good. I've already turned off any performance boost options in the bios.

I found current idle settings, and according to our lord and savior ai, typical current idle could prevent lock ups and crashing at low power states. Is this worth trying? Anything else I should look into or try? The only other option I've manged to find on my own is to straight up disable sleep.

I've been planning on installing this aio I salvaged from another old computer, has maybe two years of use on it. I just realized I would need a 92mm to 120mm adapter. Since the radiator is 92mm and the fan mounts on my case is 120mm. The one I purchased is made from pla, which isn't very heat resistant. Could the radiator get hot enough to warp or even melt the pla adapter?

I recently rebuilt my pc, new hardware, new case, and wanted to clean my setup. I redid all the cable management, got rid a lot of decorations and knickknacks, reorganized a few things. Really liking how it's looking now. Any suggestions or advice? This probably isn't its final form.

Bought some new ID Cooling fans to put in my rig. Got two up front for intake, and one in the rear for exhaust. My question is, is the default settings good enough? I did set control mode to pwm since they have four pin connectors.

This time Tommy's master morpher. Repainted everything, bought 3d printed coins from Etsy, and labels from BD15.

I've been having issues with HP pre built for a while. Most signs pointed to a failing power supply. I know if I wanted to use a different PSU I'd have to replace the motherboard. I also read that a different motherboard might not fit in the HP case. So I replaced all three. The build took 3 to 4 hours. Took my time with routing the cables. I'm pretty confident I did everything right. There was a little squeeze out of the thermal paste when I mounted the cooler, I may have used too much... But everything is running fine so far. Haven't tried any games yet. I did reinstall windows too. I plan on replacing that janky bottom fan, I wanted an intake and the cord was too short to mount on the front.

Not bad for my first build, huh?
