So I've had a sata ssd and just wanted some extra storage so I got a m.2 nvme ssd when I installed the ssd I made sure it was all the way in the slot and all that. When I tried turning on my pc it would only boot into bios. I tried both slots on my motherboard and I made sure the sata ssd was plug into the right port where the nvme ssd doesn't disable it. When I removed the nvme ssd my pc worked normally anyone got a fix for this? Mobo: Asus Prime B550 Plus ac-hes, CPU Ryzen 7 5800xt, GPU: GeForce RTX 3060, Ram, 1x16gb 3200mhz

So my pc won’t post and has the dram error light and q-code of 00 and it has Ryzen 7-7700 and i have never overclocked it. And it’s is 2 stick ddr5 I have tried it in one stick in a2 and the other stick and I have tried channel b1 and it has power and the cpu cooler monitor updates and it’s hovering around 30-29 Celsius and I have tried power cycling it. But it doesn’t post. And the mobo is an rog. And it has rm1000 psu.

i have a 32gb kit of corsair ddr5, i can get another identical kit for a good price but its rgb while my current one isnt, will all 4 sticks still work together its the same speed and stuff.

I have a Dell Inspiron 5456 laptop (Core i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD). It used to run at normal speeds and handled some games fine—even without a dedicated graphics card—but lately, it’s become extremely slow and keeps freezing. I’ve already reformatted the drive (I switched from Windows 11 to Windows 10), but that didn't fix it. I updated the video drivers and even tried installing the OS on an older hard drive, but nothing worked. I keep it plugged into the wall because the battery is faulty; the temperature seems normal, though the cooling fan kicks into high gear every time I turn it on before eventually quieting down. I used monitoring software, and the temperature stays below 60°C. Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be?

So I'm going to upgrade my ram but I'm not too sure which one to go with should I go with the corsair vengeance Rbg pro c16 3200 or with ripjaw 3600 any help appreciated

Ryzen 7 5800xt

I have old this old laptop, don't know what to do. I have upgrade the hdd to ssd years ago. Is the anything that i can upgrade again to make it more usable. My also notice that i dont have any bluetooth.

Hope someone can help me. Thankss.

Hi, am UK based and currently have 13400f with a gigabte b760m ds3h ax ddr5 motherboard. I originally planned to upgrade to a different gen/socket around 2028 at the earliest, but given the whole situation right now I think it'd be best if I just maximise the potential of my current system. I thought about getting a 14600 but all of the stuff i see online says that my motherboard might not support it due to it having only a 6+2+1 vrm (honestly idk what it means but thats what i see mentioned online) so I figured a 14500 would be a good enough upgrade over the 13400f to hopefully try to survive the whole situation. Is this opinion/choice correct? I play in 1080p with a 9060xt 16gb and 32gb ddr5. It would only be about a £80 upgrade or so if i sell the old cpu afterwards, but budget is no issue honestly.

So I took a massive gamble on a random site listing a brand new factory-sealed ROG Strix 4070 Ti for $350. I 100% expected to get scammed or receive a box of rocks, but FedEx delivered an actual heavy sealed GPU box today.

Now I’m paranoid. Is this stolen goods, a repacked refurbished unit, or did I just hit the lottery? Has anyone ever received a legit working card from these liquidation deals? Should I test it in my main PC or be worried?

I sent my card to get repasted by someone and since I got it back. Now the temps seems like they are worse? For example when I play the Witcher 3, the temps can go up rapidly in under 5 mins to 86 degrees. I’ve had this pc for around 5 years and when I got this pc I played cyberpunk at ultra settings with the rtx on ultra and the temps were not like that like AT ALL. So now I’m wondering if it’s the case because when I take off the side panel the temps goes down to 80 and the front glass panel infront of my intake it goes down to 77. (The case is Matrexx 50 by deepcool and is a new egg prebuilt)

Or I don’t know if I’m crazy but the guy that repasted my card did a bad job? Because I’ve never seen these temps on my gpu and my gpu has never been this loud in my 5 years of owning this card. And even now when I’m watching videos on YouTube and I’m hearing my loud ass gpu fans on the desktop and I’m idling at around 47-51 when back then I was idling at 41 and sometimes I’m idling at 44 today

How should I fix? Cuz I don’t really want to spend on a new gpu with these awful prices

Tenia una ram de 16 gb ddr5, compre otra igual y no puedo hacer que ande, a la primera vez inicio normal, cuando la apague apareció un error de windows tuvo que reiniciarse y nada.

Hello world. I have a ROG Thor Platinum II 1200W PSU and an RTX 3080 (Gainward Phantom). In some cases, like running AI models or playing games like Tekken 8, my PC shuts down completely and then restarts. When I undervolt my GPU in MSI Afterburner and flatten the curve at 1875 MHz, the problem is solved. So it seems the GPU is causing power spikes and the PSU is shutting down the system for some reason. My question is: which is the faulty part — the GPU or the PSU? My PSU is high-end, so I'd be sad if it turned out to be the culprit. I plan to replace the GPU to a 5090 in a few months anyway.

My build consists basically of a Gigabyte B550M Aorus Elite motherboard, Corsair CV650 PSU, 2 x 16GB RAM, 2 SSDs, Ryzen CPU. For maybe the last 2 years the computer remained plugged in, the PSU switched on (and the LED on the motherboard lit). It would often remain on for days in a row, and occasionally be hibernated or powered-off, but the PSU switch alway on the "on" position.

THen about 2 months ago I moved to another location barely 2 blocks away, and I took my built PC in the car with me, packed inside the original boxing of the cabinet. Then it remained maybe 4+ weeks under a desk, untouched.

Finally I plugged it and absolutely nothing happened: no PSU fan, no LED lit on the motherboard, nothing. So I proceeded to do some tests:

• Tried plugging PSU into other power outlet, and even in an UPS (same UPS where it was plugged into in previous location).
• Unplug PSU from motherboard. Paper clip test and the PSU turns on, fan spins, and 12VDC as expected (from the one pin I tested).
• Plug the PSU back on to the MB, nothing happens (not even PSU fan)
• Removed RAM modules: no change
• Removed / replaced CMOS battery: no change
• Hold power button for 30+ seconds: nada
• Unplugged LED and power/reset cables: still nothing from PSU fan, and shorting power pins on MB doesn't start PC either.

I unplugged other wires coming from PSU, still nothing.

Haven't removed SSDs, CPU, CPU cooler, but at this point I would have expected some sign of life.

What bugs me the most is that I didn't do anything, I basically carried it 300m distance, kept it in a corner for a few weeks, and now it seems dead. I've moved the same PC before (but didn't leave it off for as many weeks), and it just turned on again as expected.

The MB is quite new (maybe a couple of years?) and the PC remained in the same place for all the time, until it moved now.

Anyway, I'm feeling kind of lost, I don't know what else to try and honestly wouldn't expect the issue to be with the MB.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I'm new to pc so I'm wondering what i should upgrade first?

I found a brand-new, factory-sealed Kingston FURY Renegade Pro KF556R36RB-16 in Poland and bought it for $115.

When I bought it, I thought it was simply a 16GB DDR5-5600 gaming RAM stick. I didn't notice the "RDIMM" part of the model/specification. After looking at it more carefully, I realized I actually bought: Kingston FURY Renegade Pro KF556R36RB-16 16GB DDR5-5600 CL36 ECC Registered DIMM (RDIMM) 1Rx8 XMP 3.0 So obviously this isn't normal desktop DDR5 and apparently won't work in a standard AM5 gaming motherboard. The strange part is the price. I started looking for this exact model and found Polish stores listing it for several thousand dollars, with some listings being close to $2,000 for a single 16GB stick. I understand that those prices might be completely unrealistic retail prices caused by extremely low availability, so I'm not assuming that my stick is actually worth $2,000. But I also found it interesting that this exact model seems to be quite difficult to find. So now I'm trying to figure out what I should actually do with it.
