You can get an Display Port or whatever to HDMI adapter or cable at your local Electronics store. Your GPU may be the issue. Usually it would show an EZ Debug light for VGA on the motherboard as pictures in previous post. If all fails, CLEAR_CMOS, some models have a Button on the back next to the PSU. Others you may have to remove a jumper pin on the motherboard, then replace it.

Thanks everyone for your input. I like this list. Good recommendation on the 14700k. Great AIO cooling & MB.

It appears you are stuck with commercial use of the computers concerned. You do use the word "Linux" near the start and for those of us not "stuck" with commercial integration but handle domestic users, it appears we are the lucky ones. Linux Mint with Cinnamon desktop and FREE, powerful, reliable, logical computing. Yes, well over a hundred installations so I do have a little bit of experience. Some of these have been done to save users from MS disaster such as wiped machines and non-logical operation, etc. As for the mention of Windows 7, tearing more hair out the other day to get things working and Firefox the only browser it admitted to, eventually. LibreOffice fixed the other problem.

So after a couple of hours its still going just fine, cpu and memory pinned at 100%. id like to think this rules out hardware as with proxmox its usually having an issue with the first 10minutes

Personally I’d go with a P50 if you want like a backup storage machine that’s also a laptop. Theyre old skylake workstations, minimum spec is a 6700HQ and Quadro M1000m, up to a Xeon E3 1535m and M2000m, they have 4 ram slots for up to 64gb of ddr4. 1080p display or 4k display. Thats all a bit overkill hardware wise, but like any business machine, they’re cheap. You need these for the two m.2 slots https://www.ebay.com/itm/363492953340 And if you want to use the 2.5” bay there’s a whole kit required for the right side 2.5” https://www.ebay.com/itm/175343853633 Just keep in mind these are 15” professional workstations, they’re heavy and get like 3 hours of battery life. But a skylake mobile quadcore and 4gb Maxwell quadro is still no slouch.

Hey, HDMI is not an option, I do not have a HDMI cable. I just reset CMOS and nothing posts again. Same black screen.

That's normal. The debug LEDs / Q-LEDs are supposed to cycle through CPU-RAM-GPU-BOOT. It's checking if each major component is working, and will STAY on the item that's causing POST / Boot problems. The checkboard display on the bottom of the screen... that is NOT a good sign. That is some sort of GPU artifact - signs of a failing GPU.

that just means its power and ground to turn off the LEDs you will need to either short or disconnect them depending on how they are wired up.

No, what explains that is that its a previous gen card and was stopped being manufactured alltogether to be replaced by the 7000 cards.

I had this stuttering issues in games and when moving things around screen like dragging windows around and animations seem laggy on my old pc which i sold for that reason ( the issue became evident 2 weeks after building the pc) then i sold said pc. And i build another one but i still have the stuttering issue this time from day 1. The specs of the 2 pc's are listed below. I have verified on both the builds that all the parts were fully functional and both displayed no signs of thermal throttling. If any other details are required i am willing to provide. no background apps running i borrwed i friends monitor still stutters frametime graph is all over the palce btw . Temps are good Part list for pc 1 (i sold this one): Ryzen 7 5700x gigabyte b550m-k rev 1.1 mobo deepcool ak400 zero dark cpu cooler 32gb 2 x 16gb ram cl 18 3600mhz rtx 4060 pny vetero psu msi mag a650bn case(not relevent but i thought i would provide) msi mag 112r Part list for pc 2 ( i recently built this one i still have this): Intel i5 12600kf asus prime b660m-a wifi d4 mobo deepcool ak400 cpu cooler 32gb 2 x 16gb ram cl 16 3200mhz rtx 3060 gigabyte psu msi mag a650bn case(not relevent but i thought i would provide) msi mag 112r

You're right. Sorry half asleep. I thought he was referring to a kit on the webpage. I am open to memory suggestions since DDR5 is quite new to me.

Remove the GPU on your https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B560M-DS3H-AC-rev-1x#kf Use the onboard HDMI port to connect to your monitor or a TV. Start the computer and press the Del key to enter Setup (Bios) if that loads Set Bios to Defaults. If that doesn't load, check on the motherboard for EZ Debug Lights (ie) CPU, DRAM, VGA, Boot (See attached) if one or more of these lights are lit then that will point to the issue. Clearing CMOS will be set everything back to Default, unless the Motherboard got shorted out.

Okay so i tried to turn off my leds using the controler on the front panel after finding the cable to it i found the mentioned 2 pin connector it doesnt want to go in the front header inputs on the mobo and im pretty sure its for controling the fans i dont know where to plug it it please i would like to know where to connect it or at least know how to turn off the leds on my fans Mobo : ASROCK B450M Pro4 R2.0

No Blue Screen or anything? How much storage is left on the SSD? I would say to check the health of the SSD and the RAM first, then the RX-590.

I think this is the highlight he's speaking of

I can't think of much either, did you try the careful CPU reseat like the first comment recommend? if you're careful you should barely alter the thermal paste surface, and if your CPU isn't a furnace, then a bit of paste being inconsistent won't hurt it much if the temp readings are ok

Hello my dear friend Thank you very much for your guidance I want to buy a computer up to 35000 dollars Finally, I want to buy a graphics card for 5000 or 6000 dollars I want to buy a cpu 7995wx with motherboard I would appreciate it if you could advise me about the CPU fan, because this CPU consumes 350 watts, I want a CPU fan that is powerful and cools the system well. I want to buy 10 terabyte ssd, your opinion is important to me. 3 4-port network cards, each port is 1 GB, if it supports PCI 5, it is much better for me to buy. I think for this cpu 7995wx there should not be one more motherboard in the global market. Your opinion is important to me. I definitely want to buy a 1600 watt power supply And what kind of RAM should I get? Of course, I am thinking of ECC RAM, which is much, much better for this system in my opinion. Of course, please tell me the model of the RAM. I will be grateful. Thank you my dear friend for your help Thanks

Hello! For a pretty decently long amount of time I have wanted to start up my own little homelab, and I have a couple questions I hope someone here can help me answer. 1. If I'm on a budget of roughly $800 or less(INCLUDING DRIVES AND ACCESSORIES), should I just build one computer capable of everything I want to do? Or, should I perhaps build one computer entirely dedicated to being a NAS, and have all of my other operations(Jellyfin, Game Servers, Etc.) running on a separate computer that has access to the NAS? From the few people I know in real life that have their own homelabs, many have suggested to me that I should have my NAS running on bare metal, for a few different reasons. However, I thought I'd ask! 2. Assuming I have found my answer to the first question, what *kind* of hardware should I be looking for? I hear a a lot of people saying that a cheap way to start out is to buy a used office PC and chuck some drives in there, which for something such as a NAS I know would be fine. Others say that used server hardware is a good option, however I am still living with my parents and I don't want to drive up their power bill that much, and from what I've heard older server hardware is wayyy lesss efficient than the newer stuff. Maybe off the shelf new components? A prebuilt NAS? I have no idea! Requirements: File server with good amount of storage and at least a little redundancy, being able to host a Plex/Jellyfin server, and being able to spin up game servers. I'm still pretty new to all this homelab stuff, so ANY advice/questions is 100% welcome. Thanks!

Living in an apartment I wanted to see how you can make a home theater audio setup that doesn't disturb your neighbours. Apparently there's this device called Waves Maxxbass 101 & 102 which increase perceived bass without actually producing bass. I was wondering if you would make a video like "The home theater setup that doesn't disturb your neighbours" which tries to create a setup that doesn't disturb the neighbours. The conclusion could just be to wear headphones but it would be interesting to see what you can achieve.

I am out of budget so for now the 6500 os the best option for me.

Can confirm it's enough, mine keeps the 7800 at 75-80 under full core load without breaking the 60% PWM bar. Though it you're running a fishtank case and thus probably have aesthetic concerns, that's another matter altogether.

Cool thank you

More recent used thinkpads. A T480 is coffee lake stuff and has 2.5” sata and you can use a m.2 2242 sized nvme ssd in the wwan port or old workstations, the P50 is inexpensive these days but has 2 nvme slots and a 2.5” sata slot, or you can trade the two nvme slots for another 2.5” sata, though all that needs caddies or sata cables, which are added cost but they’re usually under $10 finding info on modern entry level machines is near impossible, they’re barely documented, like that motherboard I posted is a motherboard in the same model family as that, 1215u for 17” hp pavilions, because they use the same motherboard for dozens of different models but even HP doesn’t keep documentation on specific models like that, same applies to any of the oems with their basic machines most of the time these days, dual ssds are something really only found in gaming laptops some models which have 2.5” sata options still might have both sata and m.2, but not all of them

Just reseated the GPU, didn't work. Still the red blinking light.

The HP EliteDesk 800 G1 https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03832938 Is a Small Form Factor case. Which has space limitations. If you are going to upgrade the GPU and PSU, you might as well go with your idea to build a new computer rather then updating this older computer.
