Think this article explains it well

I’d just download a clean w11 from Microsoft and stick it on a stick and reinstall without bloaters

Well, if that does not work and there is still no power, then I believe your PSU may be at fault. what PSU do you have? What is your system setup? And how old is the PSU?

Okay. It’s a silly thing that happens to all of us! have you tried the cmos reset I sent you in prior message?

Just rereading the thread - is your PSU switch ON?

basically you power off your PC, unplug from the main. Remove the motherboard battery and use a screw driver for example to ‘short’ the pins. video for guide

Have you tried clearing CMOS?

Thanks Both. just after posting GN released his 2023 'black friday' "best of 2023" video! here he also says best value upgrade is the 5800x3d. Welp, let's hope that by Friday the CPU maybe get a €30-50 drop as offer. Otherwise looks like i'll just have to bite the bullet. Whole other question to you both: I game on 1440P, thinking of getting a 4K monitor next 3-6 months. What would be a suitable GPU upgrade for my current system (assume 5800x3d) keeping this in mind and probably a budget of around €500/600? Thanks!

Budget (including currency): €250ish Country: NL Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: gaming (more so single player, non shooters), normal use. I started a thread last month about what CPU to choose as upgrade for my current system (see signature). The choice was between 5700x and 5800X3d, and I was waiting for BF deals for the x3d. However, until now this CPU has not been on sale yet, the others have so looking at other options for now just in case. Price for 5800X is €189 Pric for 5700X is €166 Price for 5800X3D €325 Unless the 5800x3d somehow drops to around €250, would it make sense to pay the little premium and buy the 5800X instead of the 5700X? Im not sure if a +€135~ is worth it going for the 5800X3D. I game on 1440P, next upgrade will either be GPU+monitor, or a complete new build. Thanks for your advice in advance

Thanks. I'll wait for black fridaynin November, perhaps a deal pops up on itm as currently its around €325 here.

Thanks! Which one would you personally opt for, also taking my current GPU in consideration? Just curious and can’t make up my mind haha

gotcha, thanks. So if I understand corretly, either the 5700x or go the extra mile for the 5800x3d? As the latter would be the best 'new' cpu for my current gen mobo?

Hey thanks for your response. Question regarding option #2: I can see the 5800X available for €219 -> is the +€30 price tag worth it insteadf of the 5700x? Further, I've seen mentioned best pick for an AM4 mobo would be 5800x3d? can you attest to this? as in, it would be the ' best' newer gen chip for AM4 as a last upgrade before the next ugprade in a few years would be the entire rig?

Hi all, so for my current rig I built in late 18 or early 19; what upgrade path would be best for current mobo/gpu? Primarily used for gaming + work (no editing type work, basic stuff) Budget (including currency): if possible, max €500 Country: Netherlands (but can buy Europe wide) Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: simulator games such as FS22/ETS2/flight sim; cities skylines; indie games; most heavy game probably going to be F24 next year. Other details - 2700X - B450 gaming pro carbon AC - 2070 -32GB LPX @ 3200mhz - missed details in signature I understand that in my budget there is no room for a GPU upgrade, when also upgrading CPU. Would it be best to rather look at GPU upgrade than a CPU? Main reason for upgrading is the PC feels sluggish compared to my M1 MBP. Graphics look decent but I miss the quality of shading (I guess) with my current setup when looking at people playing same games and their graphics. Open to any advice and if I missed anything please let me know! thanks in advance

Definitely instability.
