My PC for about a week now has been consistantly freezing and then crashing in Chrome and in games (even minecraft). I've ran multiple cmd promts like dism, sfc scan now, and a few others but the problem persists. In event view 6 warnings show up after the last 2 crashes (The bolded one has happened in all crashes):

Hey everyone, so I was playing DMC 5 on my Acer Nitro V15 when all of a sudden the game froze, had like some purple outlines or glitches on my screen then force restarted. After restarting, I noticed that my laptop was slower than usual, so I tried restarting it again, but nothing happened. I checked if some of my files got corrupted, and yeah some were corrupted. After fixing the corrupted files, I restarted once again and nothing changed. I even checked my hard drive and I still had a lot of space available. I genuinely don’t know whats happening and if someone could help me, I’d greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

My PC is working fine. Just bought a new case, AIO. Updated the bios before transferring the components to a new case.

Cleaned all the components before transferring. Re-sited every thing, m.2 drive, ram, gpu, cpu, SSDs, HDDs.

After transferring all the components, my PC is working just fine.

Now I wanted to format my PC but the m.2 drive(where my OS is currently installed) is not showing as a location for windows installation.

So I installed a new OS on a different drive for now(So I have 2 OS now on different drives). Once I’m on the desktop I went to disk manager to try to format my M2 drive and it’s not showing on the list of available drives.

Here are some informations that may help:

1. I have the latest sata driver from mobo’s website.
2. While using the OS from that m.2 drive, I can see the drive from disk manager.
3. Bitlocker is off as I checked.
4. M.2 drive is showing in bios

*Note
My PC is working fine. It’s just I want to re install a fresh OS on that m.2 drive

I came home one day and turned on my pc, it had no display but all of the lights were on and the fans were spinning but the Dram light was on so naturally I immediately went to check the ram and took each one out individually to test them and one worked and one didn’t. I used my pc with one stick of ram for that night perfectly fine but then the next day when I came home I had no display all over again. I started with cleaning everything and tired lots of fixes I saw online such as removing the cmos battery and putting it back in and switching the ram sticks to different slots to see if the slots themselves were dead. Nothing worked so the next day I took both sticks of ram to a friend’s pc and each stick of ram worked perfectly after I tested them each individually. Then I figured it was my motherboard and replaced my old one (Asus B850) with a new one (Asus X870E). I used it minimally for a couple of days without the new drivers because I didn’t have a flash drive at the moment and I was waiting on a friend to bring a flash drive with windows to do a fresh windows install. I know both of my monitors work and their cables work too. However this morning I tried turning on my pc with the new motherboard and my whole pc working for two days just fine, it had no display again and I’m unsure what it may be now besides my CPU but I want to make sure before I buy a whole new one I have a Ryzen 5 9600X that I bought brand new around June last year so it’s less than a year old.

I have r5 3500x and asus prime b550mk and a 2x4gb 3200mhz 1Rx16 ddr4 ram. I tried to turn it on and it gives me no display not even at the bios just black screen. I tried to switch different ram slots and simultaneously use my 2 sticks of ram and still no use. i tried to turn on the pc with only cpu mobo and gpu and it gives me a 1 long beep and 2 short beep just once. I put the ram back and it doesn't beep but still no display. The gpu is fine i use it everyday in my old setup.

Now, i went to a repair shop, and they only use the cpu motherboard, video cable connected to the board and their own ram and they solely rely on caps lock of the keyboard and no gpu till they get a no response

The pc turns on but won’t output any display or get into the bios. I followed mostly this build to a tea. I turn on the pc and i’m not getting any output. I’ve updated the bios and I’ve got the hdmi plugged into the gpu not the motherboard. Lost.

so idk if the motherboard is the problem cause its a lil bit closer to the case on the bottom then the top so its a lkl bent cause i forgot bottom 2 standoffs and i was installing the gpu. so fans spin, cpu fan spins, gpu fan spins, ram rgb lights up. also my motherboard doesnt have debug lights it's the gigabyte a520m-k v2

My started to freeze after leaving a game open, when i came back I forced shutdown my pc then after reopening it, minutes later it happens again and repeats every time now.

Troubleshooting Ive already done:
- Run DISM then sfc scan
- Reseating gpu and ram
- Alternate Ram and their slots
- Clear CMOS
- run on igpu without gpu installed
- ssd is at 96% based from CrystalDisk
- Disabled all 3rd party services in msconfig

Note that it runs perfectly inside safe mode, it only happens in normal boot even without doing any task. Activity light for ssd on case also stops working when it freezes.

This pc is already old and do plan on upgrading it but i need to save up first. I use my pc for school and need it for my course, I rarely play games these days. Any help will do!

pc started act up after I left it running for like 30mins while doing sumthing irl, when I came back it already froze and the only option i have is to force it to shut down via power button. The pc now persistently freezes after sometime whenever i use it, it doesnt event last 10 mins until it decides to freeze up again. The activity indicator also stops working when it freezes. I managed to run CrystalDiskInfo to check and i got 96% for my ssd, though this doesnt mean the ssd isn’t bad but this freezing thing only happens after a windows update the night before the first occurrence. I wanted to do an sfc scan but idrk if it can finish before finishing. I need all of your expertise to let this system free again. All troubleshooting that Iv’e done is reseating the gpu and ram, ditching my gou and using igpu (still freezes), letting it load up a bit but it still freezes after sometime with me even doing anything besides logging in to user.

My friend keeps experiencing constant instability in his system which has seemed to progressively get worse over time. He’s asking me to make a post to Reddit to see if anyone could help, with the issues he’s been experiencing attached below in his words:

• Shutdown from windows does not work, have to hard shutdown.
• Yellow dram on restart until I turn it off manually
• Pc will on occasion crash under graphical load and my gpu drivers will stop working, like some sort of corruption. Forcing me to DDU them and reinstall to get them working again
• Game crashes Random intervals

When I first purchased and built the pc I had to manually set speeds as expo was not working and wouldn’t let my pc post. New issues such as driver corruption and not restarting and newish (5 months ago)

Now back to me:

He personally believes the issue is his system ram, and while that could very well be the issue considering everything, I also feel he should try updating his firmware, which he has never done before. For some reason he has been reluctant to do so, believing that the issue stems from just ram alone. Now we’re just wondering what anybody else has to say about this?

Specs:

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
MSI Caron B650E WiFi
AMD XFX 7900xtx

I recently bought a 1440x2560p monitor and i juts put my old one beside it with is a curved 1080p monitor, both are same size, i tried aligning it by going into nvidia control panel then making a 1440p resolution for the 1080p one to trick my pc into thinking its 1440p to make them the same size in the display settings but this made it very pixelated and the colors looked smudged? They align but because of these problems i just need a different fix that both makes them aligned and not look weird, thanks.

Hi all,

I havent switch my pc in like 5-6 month and i bought a new monitor (AW2725DF) as I wanted to play again.

When i tried to connect dp cable to my graphic card, it did not connect at all to both dp slots. But when I tried to motherboard it was started working. When I used it with old screen 6 month back, it was working fine in gpu.

When I switch my pc on the graphic card fans starts to spin and when computer on main screen they stop. I tried to run timespy to test it and they didnt turn on and my score literally under 1k for gpu.

My specs are:

Cpu 7800x3d

Gpu 7900xtx

Ram 64gb ddr5

Windows 11 pro.

I updated gpu to the 3.5.1 ver I think and I havent updated bios since I bought it (2024)

I will include pics and a video.

Any help would be much appreciated
