I replaced my motherboard because the other one was faulty and when I got everything in it posted and told me about a new CPU and I pressed the key I needed to and after that it stopped and hasn't done anything since. I understand there is no CPU cooler and that is because it is a pain to put on and wanted to make sure everything worked before I put it on. I have tested reseating the ram, unplugging the ATX and CPU cable and the powersupply power cable. The Front Panel header is also connected.

Help

Troubleshooting update: - Disconnected all external peripherals except the power cord - Have tried both memory sticks in each individual memory slot, one at a time - Have tried a different power supply and as a result, have also re-seated both the 24 pin, PCIe and CPU power connectors - Have re-seated the graphics card - Have disconnected the front panel headers and tried manually shorting the power button pins with a screwdriver - Have disconnected power and data cables for all storage devices It still powers on just for a split second; long enough to cause fan spin but immediately shuts right back off. I almost think the fan spin though is just the capacitors draining because if I try to power it on a second time immediately after, I get nothing. The only time I get fan spin and a light is if I turn off power to the power supply and drain the capacitors by holding the power button down for a few moments, then flip the power supply back on and hit the power button again. It's almost like it just drains the capacitors into a power on attempt but once they're drained they don't get recharged.

Any fan can be quiet, just turn the rpm down.

Step one is to actually start doing something. You want to recycle tech? You don't need to talk to Linus to start doing so. You need to source things, fix em and find new homes. Have you worked in the existing recycling market? Maybe they do things the way they do (extracting precious metal) for a reason, and you could learn that and other things getting a labour job in a facility doing the work. Have looked online for people doing recycling the way you want to?

you think 18-27$ an hour is a luxurious wage?

You will need to test each components separately. Remove or unplug all non essential components. Unplug or remove all external and internal drives. Remove GPU, Remove all but one module of RAM, swap the slot and RAM modules around. If you have another computer or Voltage Meter, test PSU. If all of this fails, the motherboard is most likely been shorted out and will need to be returned.

Well that certainly is sad, this PC is 2 months - 3months old. This is the reason I highly doubt its a dead PSU and maybe something got moved around when I bumped it. Do you have any recommendations or anything to say before I go ahead and take everything out?

OK, the UPS not complaining should be enough to say that the outlet is wired correctly, and since it was new it's almost certainly up to electrical code, though since you do seem to have the knowledge you might as well open the outlet and double check that it's good. A bootleg ground can give weird issues and IIRC some UPSes can't pick up on it, so it would be worth checking, though if that was installed out of the factory there would likely be a class action suit against the people manufacturing the trailer at this point.

If the PSU is dead / dying, you don't really have a choice. Especially if you need the PC up and running ASAP, too. I would NOT recommend that you try to "self diagnose / self repair" a malfunctioning PSU, too.

I haven't tried each one in every individual slot; but I tried each one in one slot from each channel. Swapping power supplies didn't fix it, so I'll try this with the RAM next.

Did you try testing individual RAM modules in each slot, or even taking them out entirely?

1 Machine, and virtualize whatever you need. You can run truenas scale and run VM's under that, or if you need easier upgrade paths for adding more drives later, use unraid. For a budget build, unraid is typically the better option since you can more easily change drives in and out and add storage later, truenas and ZFS are not nearly as "easy on the wallet" to do this. Spin up VM's or docker containers for whatever you may need in terms of jellyfin, plex, etc etc.

This is 100% what messed things up royally. You are now an extension of a license. No longer a user a licenense with not enough addons yet. Saw that major shift from 7 to 8 where the whole "ecosystem" became a thing that was heavily encouraged and then basically hard enforced with 10 and all the software as a perpetual paid service with as little user agency as possible way of thinking. Everything is cloud focused now to the point that they are again trailing cloud computer for all users with the actual computers just being thin clients basically. All for insane prices for bussiness and not affordable for consumers. Exactly. Its extraxting every cent for what used to be basically an onsite server deployment of 15k for 5-7 years + 150 or so maintenance cost a month. With then a bussiness license for office 20xx of a couple thousand for the next 7-10 years of use. Now its basically that cost every month or so for not really an improved feature set by much. I'm genuinly curious how long windows server is going to still be around with the same level of control as it offers now. Its really been feeling like the sunset years are here now especially ever since 11 rolled around. Seeing this cost go up exponentially thing happen at one work rn again. Going off local to the cloud for better management and availability of services yet the uptime hasnt increased since the move 2 years ago and the cost has gone up many times. One site is still on prem due to simply having too much data and well they are working fine and dandy as always even having better remote working operations since almost nothing is bound to a microsoft account and all runs through vpn, AD and all that stuff. Keeping management of the users quite simple and quick.

Also, what if it is the PSU and it's gone forever? What do I do now, just drop 60$ on another?

something else is using your ram... run full malwarebytes scan first before anything else

Well shoot, those are really bad options. I stated earlier I had my back panel half open for like an hour or two. I do remember bumping into it once while in it's half open state, maybe I hit something. I think PSU might have something to do with this. I'm gonna unplug EVERYTHING, check the PSU and reinstall it. Borrow another GPU or PSU isn't an option since I spent all my money on this PC and I don't have anything that can lend me a spare.

I've swapped the RAM sticks around and re-seated the graphics card; I just dug out a spare power supply and am going to wire it up and see if that fixes it.

Hello, I've been trying to fix this problem for days now and didnt come to a fix. I hope someone can help me with this. I recently built a new PC to play some of my games in higher fps: MSI B650M GAMING PLUS WIFI AMD Ryzen 5 7500F AMD Radeon Rx 6800 XT (Powercolor: Red Dragon) Corsair VENGEANCE DDR5 RAM 16GB (2x8GB) 5200MHz (CMK16GX5M2B5200C40) Thermaltake Smart BM3 650W The first few games I wanted to test out were already on my old hdd that I plugged in and everything was smooth. When I wanted to try out COD MW3 Multiplayer & Warzone too though, things went bad really quick. At first, the game was very smooth with no stutters at all, but I realized that the loading screens were really really slow and the game started crashing and completely freezing sometimes (when joining/finishing a match). In Warzone though, it got worse. The map didnt load for a long time and when it did, it loaded really poorly, but the game even then was really smooth. After I checked everything and did my research, I saw that the game doesn't really perform good when installed on a hdd. So what I did was, I reinstalled the game on my new NVMe (which only has windows on it) and launched the game again. This time, warzone loads really well and all the textures are instantly there, BUT when starting the game (and even while being in the menu), the game stutters every few seconds for a quick ms and sometimes for a whole second and it just gets unplayable. And well...after another 8hrs or so of research, I updated my BIOS. After that the game went from micro stutters every few seconds to heavy stuttering every 10-20seconds or so. Now I'm really lost and don't know what else I can do. Every other game on my hdd works flawlessly and I just had to reinstall COD MW3 on the M.2 SSD cause of the texture problems and now this... What I also realized is, that when having CoD play in the background, I can't even download something on the M.2 SSD. When I try that, CoD completely starts stuttering nonstop and even the pc starts stuttering and lagging completely until I either pause the download or sometimes even have to restart the whole pc. So far, these are some other things I also tested to solve this issue: Samsung Magician for firmware updates GPU driver update COD MW3 Settings changed: VRam usage, quality settings...etc. I really don't know what to do or how to find out what exactly is causing this stuttering, since I haven't found anything yet. I would be really thankful for any tips or help. It's a really annoying problem and I hope someone can help me or know an easy solution for this. If there are any questions or informations needed, I'll help and share everything. Thanks.

It's a double wide trailer that we bought new, so I can't speak for the wiring inside the walls, but all of the wiring outside the house for the service box, grounding rods, etc. I did myself, so I know that from the breaker box in the house out to the service box is all good. Past that into the rest of the house though, I have no idea; I've never had a reason to inspect them after the initial inspection when everything was set up. I do however have it connected to an UPS, though that wouldn't do anything if the UPS isn't grounded either, but it's not complaining about not having a proper ground.

For non professional labor? Get real.

What are your priorities? Performance? Quietness? Price varies wildly from one area to another, and some fans are cheap in certain countries (generally where the company is) but very expensive in others. US prices tend to be the lowest for many things. If you can be specific, that would be helpful. For pure performance, look at Phanteks T30, Iceberg Thermal IceGale Xtra, Super Flower Megacool, etc.

And probably some sort of hazardous waste license/permit.

trying to isolate the problem to either OMV or the board itself would be a good start. lspci to see if both are visible - you say they are. then lsblk to see if both are visible. if so, try making filesystems on each and see if they behave correctly. trying other drives might be useful, but obviously we don't all have spare SSDs lying around. what's the current rating of PSU are you using? are there PCIe errors in dmesg? It might be that there's not enough juice to go around and one drive is being cut off when it initialises. make sure you don't actually have one dead SSD (I'm sure you thought of that but stupider things have happened). I haven't seen the other reports of this problem, but do they all have something in common with your case? similar drive models or something?

Can you saw through and separate the two pieces with something like a guitar string?
