I got a new hp prodesk 290 g2 mt from work and was using it with a monitor recently. But today it suddenly don’t turn on and screen say no VGA. When I turn the PC on the fan start and don’t do much noise. The on button doesn’t show any light only whem I press it then nothing (no light). Screen turn on scan then say no VGA i tried to unplug but nothing. Any advice ? Thanks
I got 2 sticks and both stopped working at the same time, let’s skip into the initial diagnosis please I already test it multiple systems and done hundreds of tests, but I have a gut feeling they got a solution, if you can help on a new point of view on what could it be? SPD?
Hi,
For the past few days, I've been having a problem with my PC. I'm unable to boot after enabling XMP to run my RAM at its rated speed of 3666 MHz.
I found that changing this setting can sometimes cause this issue, but now I'm stuck because I can't boot into the BIOS to disable it.
I've already tried:
Unfortunately, none of these steps solved the problem.
My PC specifications:
Help lmao. My PC just started beeping after turning it on. I've tried reseating my RAM and GPU but the beeping persists.
I can use the PC without any issue so far. But this beeping is making me worried.
SPECS
RYZEN 5 5600 G
Gigabyte B550M DS3H AC
AMD Radeon RX 7600
2X 16GB DDR4 HyperX 3200mhz
Yo Reddit, hoping someone can help.
I recently bought a used AMD Ryzen 5800X + ASUS ROG Strix B550-F bundle second hand. I installed it with an Arctic Freezer 36 cooler, 32GB DDR4 RAM, Zotac 3070 and a EVGA 600W 80 Plus PSU
From the start I had no POST - board lights up on standby but pressing power button does nothing. I tried the screwdriver trick on the PWRSW pins with no response.
I discovered the CPU had stuck to the cooler via thermal paste and pulled out of the socket when I removed the cooler/installing it/ fannying around - not sure if it was fully seated before this happened.
After reseating the CPU the board stopped lighting up entirely.
I then tried plugging in the 24 pin and 8 pin CPU without anything else and the standby light returns, but as soon as I insert the CPU the standby light dies completely, suggesting a possible short.
I've checked all front panel headers against the manual, verified 24-pin and 8-pin CPU power are connected, tested the PSU with the paperclip trick (fan spins fine), tried single RAM stick in A2 slot, and tested outside the case on cardboard. Removed bios battery, visually inspected all I can but I'm not quite ready to rule it out as dead yet.
CPU pins look visually fine to me but hard to tell. Anyone got any ideas whether this is a dead board, dead CPU, or something else? Thanks
I’m rather ignorant when it comes to computers and so are a good chunk of my friends
I’ve been having an issue where my PC will power cycled a, but will not boot
This happens on occasion but typically unplugging it for a few minutes solves the issue
As of yesterday, however, nothing I have done has solved the issue
My fans and case lights are on, and my GPU’s lights are also on, but nothing else seems to be happening
It’s been power cycling for about 24 hours without any progress, and I do not know what to do
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dgW328
These are the parts, aside from the GPU which is a GFORCE RTX 4080
I have shuffled my RAM sticks in their spots, still keeping in mind the pairs they came in, I’ve restarted my bios, I’ve left it unplugged from the wall for several minutes
The only thing that happens is the DRAM being on, and, on power in, will flick to the CPU light to it’s left for a moment before returning to the DRAM light that remains on until the PC powers down
Any and all help to repair this issue would be appreciated, I need this PC for work and don’t have the budget for replacement parts right now

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with my ASUS FX50J laptop before I take it to a repair shop.
What happened:
- The laptop was working normally when it suddenly freezed for a second then blue-screened.
- It automatically tried to restart, but it was taking a long time.
- I unplugged the power cable while it was still restarting, and it immediately shut off.
- Since then, it has never booted again.
Current symptoms:
- Pressing the power button turns the little green led lights on the laptop
- The fan behaves the way it normally does (it doesn't spin immediately; it starts after a short delay).
- The screen stays completely black with no backlight.
- The Caps Lock LED never responds when I press the key.
- An external monitor also shows no signal.
- I removed and reseated the RAM, but nothing changed.
- I even tried powering it on with no RAM installed, and the behavior is exactly the same.
- battery little green led light works fine it lights up when the battery is connected and turns when i remove it
- One strange thing I noticed is that if I plug in the charger with the laptop off, my USB mouse immediately lights up, even before I press the laptop's power button. I don't remember it doing that before.
Has anyone experienced these exact symptoms? Is there anything else I should try before taking it to a technician?
Thanks!
Model is an HP Victus 15 fb1013dx
Has been running like a champ for 2 years when I bought it new.
Earlier this year (February) a small amount of wine was spilt across the keyboard, it shut off moments later, and I thought that would brick it for sure. I unplugged everything and propped it up like a tent and put fans over it. 24 hours later, it came back to life. I’ve used it for months since, no problems, no residue, but as of 2 days ago, my computer finally shut off mid-use, and will only do this now when I try to power it on.
I’ve tried several methods:
Holding down the power button ( most tests, for up to a minute) unplugging the battery, isolating the power cord and vice versa, disconnecting each ram stick one at a time, and even testing the power cord, and after every test, I still get the same result. Has anyone else ever experienced something like this, and is there anything I can do for it, preferably on my own?
It is a battery connector cable. Connects the battery to the motherboard. Any chance I can get just this part without getting a new battery?
My battery is in good shape and yes I've got the motherboard repaired.
i downloaded something off of internet archive that came up as safe on virustotal, so either it wasnt, or somehow i magically got malware, but holavpn showed up as a pup in malwarebytes (i have never installed this program), so i got rid of it. i did a 2nd scan afterwards to get rid of it because it showed up again in more detections and malwarebytes told me to restart my laptop, so i did, and now im stuck on a black screen that wont open anything. ive tried opening task manager, ive turned it on and off several times, its just not opening but its running.
Hi everyone. I have a Dell Latitude 3310 that has been powered off and unused for about 6 months. Now it won't turn on at all. When I plug in the original 65W Dell charger, there is no charging LED or any indication that the laptop is receiving power.I also tried another compatible Dell charger, but the behavior is exactly the same.
The only sign of life is that when I press and hold the power button, the battery indicator lights up solid amber/orange. As soon as I release the power button, the light goes off. I've already checked that the chargers work and the charging port doesn't appear to have obvious physical damage.
Could this be caused by a deeply discharged battery after 6 months of storage, or is it more likely to be a failed charging port, charging circuit, or motherboard? Are there any troubleshooting steps I should try before taking it to a repair shop?
I format my PC and then it's like this, it doesn't enter anything but the BIOS and it doesn't save the changes in it and it doesn't want to enter the disk or the pendrive and the truth is that I've done everything I've taken the battery out of the motherboard, I made it a bridge, I took out the graphics card, I left only one ram, I also changed the version of the bios and even so it doesn't want to enter anything
Just for a quick second before getting into detail, the issue is a fan connected to my motherboard started overheating rapidly. The wire caught on fire, but I managed to shut off the power supply before serious damage. Now, there is a scorch mark on the motherboard where the fan was connected. I just need to know if I can turn the PC on after removing that fan. There are like 10 connections for fans, so it's not a huge deal. I'm worried about my CPU. What should I do? If you need specifics, I can provide the HW info and pictures of the board if needed. Please help, there is a lot of money invested into this PC. Thanks everyone.
Okay, so I’ve basically replaced my entire pc it feels like at this point. Out of nowhere, it died and started displaying “no hdmi/hdmi2 signal” on my monitors. I replaced the motherboard, cpu, power supply and case with new upgraded pieces and still I get 0 signal from my usb ports or hdmi ports to my monitors. I’ve tried pretty much everything I and my friends can think of to solve the issue so please, if anybody has any ideas to try, I need them. I’ve used my entire budget replacing my mother board and everything else already but in time I’ll have more funds, I just don’t know where to look anymore. To add, the pc itself turns on, fans all spin and lights work, including cpu fan and graphics card. My motherboard doesn’t have any lights indicating an issue either.
Ok, context:
Have been troubleshooting why BF6 keeps crashing to desktop and have been working through BIOS and driver updates, but to no avail.
Next on the troubleshooting list was RAM timings; apparently BF6 doesn't play nicely with XMP/XMP on 4 sticks.
So I turned off XMP and then couldnt POST, with the DRAM error light on my mobo (Gigabyte z490 gaming x ax) illuminated.
Managed to get back into BIOS after a couple of power cycles and disable XMP.
Next boot goes to black screen and then computer dies and no power to USB peripherals. The lights on the ethernet port are illuminated though (are they powered by the cable?)but everything else seems dead.
Wall outlet confirmed working so... does the hive mind think this is:
- dead psu?
- shorted mobo?
Thoughts/comments/prayers all super welcome!
I need to preface this by saying I'm generally incompetent when it comes to technology. You're gonna have to explain things to me like I'm 80 years old. Sorry in advance.
So, this morning I was using my laptop like usual. About an hour and a half in, it started producing purple and green lines in the top left quadrant. As soon as I noticed, the monitor went black. I connected to my TV with the HDMI and it works there. There's no external signs of damage, no cracks or anything.
I'm starting my master's in under 2 months and will definitely need my laptop working again by then (It's a research-intense MS, definitely gonna be using software like SPSS daily). I'm also currently unemployed and gigabroke. My warranty expired in January of last year.
What's my best option? I'm seeing some replacement LCDs online that aren't ridiculously expensive on websites like LCDBros, but I don't have the knowledge to judge reliability or compatibility etc etc. I really need some advice :(. Thank you!!
I'm having ongoing issues with my PC , specifically my O.S, crashing while gaming and I'm struggling to pinpoint the cause.
The crashes happen either after 20–30 minutes of gameplay or when a game is loading into a save/world, depending on the game.
Enshrouded
The Witcher 3
For a while I've been getting memory-related error codes, but now the whole OS is crashing instead. The PC never loses power or shuts off completely.
Things I've already tried:
Since Enshrouded became more stable after changing those settings but The Witcher 3 is still crashing, I'm not sure whether this is a RAM issue, VRAM issue, driver problem, or something else entirely.
Any ideas on what I should test next?
System Specs
I've no idea what i can do next other than just buy new ram, but as you imagine that now a costly fix, if that's even the issue.
So I have an rx570 gpu, I want to play my games with more fps so I ordered a used rx590 online but when it arrived it needs 2 pcie connector so I thought its okay since I have 2 that are "daisy chained" together. I removed my old rx 570 and put the newly bought rx 590 at first it works there is display so I decided to go to school and leave mt pc turned on. After arriving home I check my pc and there is no display so I tried restarting and no display then I tried removing cmos it works but after about 8 mins the display dies and never turned on again so I thought maybe my psu cant handle it because im only using a daisy chained pcie connector but now when I tried to put my old rx 570 card my pc wont boot, no display but my keyboard and mouse has lights and I can use numlock. I tried resetting cmos alot of times and also checking my rams the only thing I havent check is the cpu because I have a big cooler and I dont know hoe to remove it. I have no integrated graphics. any help would be greatly appreciated since I dont have the money to buy a new pc. I also tried putting rx590 back in and still no display.
cpu intel i5 9400f
