  1. Update : I ordered a used Thermaltake with the same model number (there are different ones for the same unit). PC works again. Anyone any idea how to troubleshoot this further? Clearly this is a PSU issue but the PSU itself works. It only won't be turned on by that mainboard anymore.
  2. The whole PC at least boots when green connected to ground and power case button is pressed. Also OS loads fine. Did not any further testing.
  3. Yes you are right. I tracked it down to the mainboard and PSU but only in that specific combination. With other PSU's the mainboard works and with other mainboard the PSU works. Never ever had a case like that. The bios got resetted multiple times. I tied to get some RAM working.
  4. Do you think my other 2 PSUs I tested would not get triggered by this? Both worked fine even with graphics card. For testing I also removed the graphics card as variable. The mb has only CPU 4 pin and ATX 24 pin connected. Edit : Yes I think all cables are fine
  5. I have enough hardware thats not the problem. This is the troubleshooting section and I just look for another brain thinking about it or maybe someone had a similar experience. Of course replacing will fix it.
  6. Hey guys I am the PC / electronic guy here around and some days ago my brother told me his PC stopped working. Absolutely nothing pressing the case power button. I figured out very fast it's a mainboard and/or PSU issue. Now I did much testing and got completely confused. It really seems this exact combination does not want to work anymore. (It was working fine for years) Heres why: My brothers PSU works flawless with other systems. Also my brothers mainboard works flawless with other PSUs. After I found about this I just put together his hardware again and grounded the green PSU on wire. Then I pressed the case power button. Et voila the computer starts again. I have no real idea anymore since this is kind of weird. Somehow it seems in this combination the mainboard does not signal the PSU to turn on anymore. I don't think it matters really much but it's a Thermaltake Hamburg 530 and a Asrock A320M-HDV. Did I forget about anything or anyone has another idea to this? Thank you
  7. Hey guys, I been troubleshooting a build for quite some time now. I have no clue anymore. PSU is a Coolermaster V750 SFX GOLD. PC takes 400W max from the wall. This should be fine? CPU is a 12600k and GC is a Gigabyte 3070 Ti. The case is a Silverstone RVZ03. RAM is Kingston 5600 but should not matter, defenetely working fine The crashing is defenetely caused by something GC or PCIe related thing. Crashing is always different. Sometimes the whole screen flickers, sometimes artifacting, sometimes colors go weird. That happened to me only if the build is finished. The case features a PCIe 3.0 riser/90° angle PCB. I got a 30cm riser cable laying around I used for testing. GC was not mounted and only laying on top of the case. Also bought a shorter one which fits the case. No problem at all if the GC is not mounted into the case. But maybe I just have been lucky because I cannot reproduce the crashes for sure. It's only in some games sometimes. Anyone sees a problem with this build or has any hint? I also have some expirience with PC stuff but as I said I am out of ideas and tested so much.
  8. I got a little smarter. I remembered the "normal" router I got from my provider. I hate it and can't use it because of DS-lite and IPV6. But I just used it and had no problem like mentioned above. So the problem is the damn Fritzbox. I guess it came with any update in the past.
  9. Hello guys, I had no idea where I can get help with this and then I thought it's perfect here :) I'm watching many movies or series via network with VLC. For a while now I noticed a huge speed drop when downloading something via Internet (only while streaming in LAN). Not sure if it's like that forever me not noticing. At first I have 200Mbit / 25MB/s download. If it's perfect I am getting 25MB thats good so far. My network stuff runs on 1Gbit/s, also without any problem. Getting full speed everywhere. In theory much more than you need for 200Mbit dl and a little network activity. Task manager shows some 15Mbit spikes while watching movie. Then I start a test download (10GB file) and watching the speed. First it ramps up to 20+MB/s but then after 5 to 10 sec it's slowly getting less. 20 seconds later its around 1-2MB/s. I tested this from every PC in every direction. It's the same everywhere. 3 PC's hooked to a Fritzbox 6430 is my configuration. Is this normal? I guess it's not else I should have noticed it earlier. How can I / would you start fixing this?
