Hi fellow LTTers! You lovely folks helped me put together my first build (https://pcpartpicker.com/user/ezzak/saved/#view=HZN27P) and it has been running great until about 2 months ago where I've started encountering this odd issue that I've tried everything in my power to diagnose/resolve. My machine seems to randomly go into a sleep/hibernate/low-power mode (I can see the RAM lights remain on) and all fans turn off, pressing the power button does nothing, holding the power button does nothing. I have to manually flip the power supply, wait for power to cycle, flip it back and turn on the machine, where it turns on like nothing happens. This has happened over 30 times at least Whenever it happens and I restart it tends to happen again within the next few minutes most of the times when opening another program but sometimes randomly A couple of times only instead of the above I got a "Boot drive not detected message", after clicking random keyboard keys the machine restarted by itself into windows. Some days I run for hours under heavy load and nothing happens, some days this happens 6-7 times in a row and I get frustrated and step away Things I've tried/checked in random order: Checked windows error logs No related error codes appear apart from the ones relating to me flipping the power switch as mentioned above Bug Check codes are zeroes for errors related to shutdowns Ran windows memory diagnosis to check RAM Ran some form of disk checkers (can't remember the software name) for my SSD and HDD Checked motherboard voltages in hardware monitor and in BIOS Turned off GSYNC Tried safe mode (issue still happened in safe mode) Tried moving my GPU and SSD to other slots Checked GPU/CPU/Drive temperatures Increased fan speeds Reinserted my RAM Moved GPU to another port on my power supply Uninstall graphic drivers with DDU and installed a driver for my gpu from April before my issues started Scanned for malware with Malwarebytes Scanned for rootkits with TDSSkiller Made sure windows was up to date at some point Disabled XMP in BIOS Messed with windows sleep settings to make sure it never sleeps on it's own Tried disconnecting all peripherals except Keyboard/Mouse/Display and issue still happened Tried using a different monitor (a TV), issue still occured Tried installing linux to see if it's Windows specific, as I was installing Linux from a boot drive it happened again I'm really feeling desperate here and would appreciate any advice/help

All good! Thanks again.

It posted!! But not detecting drives, debugging now!

Oh sweet, the debug error now moved to the last LED. Boot. So I'm guessing graphics is fine now, how can I make sure I fix that? Thanks @Spotty Also why did I need to change the graphics card slot? Does the lower one not support this GPU?

Hi guys was trying to put together my first build today but unfortunately I wasn't able to get it to post. Here are my parts: PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor $329.00 @ B&H Motherboard MSI X570-A PRO ATX AM4 Motherboard $159.89 @ OutletPC Memory G.Skill Trident Z RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory $179.99 @ Newegg Storage Crucial MX500 500 GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive $64.99 @ Amazon Storage Seagate Barracuda 3 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive $79.89 @ OutletPC Video Card Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8 GB WINDFORCE OC Video Card Case NZXT H500i ATX Mid Tower Case $114.98 @ NZXT Power Supply Cooler Master MWE Gold 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply $89.99 @ Amazon Wireless Network Adapter TP-Link TL-WN881ND PCIe x1 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi Adapter $14.99 @ Amazon Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total (before mail-in rebates) $1053.72 Mail-in rebates -$20.00 Total $1033.72 Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-07-31 23:55 EDT-0400 My fans, gpu, ram and cpu fans seem to be working. According to my motherboard manual the red led for VGA means that graphics aren't being detected, I made sure the graphics card was plugging into the PSU and it's fans are spinning, I also tried removing it and reinstalling. I also tried an alternate monitor just to be sure. There also seems to be a red led near my m2 ssd, help appreciated. I was really excited that I got this far alone but now I'm really discouraged g to p

Hi folks. I recently bought https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232748?Item=N82E16820232748 for a new build powered by Ryzen 3700X. I was browsing earlier today and I found this https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232752?Item=N82E16820232752, after a quick google search I didn't find much except that this memory is more 'optimized' for Ryzen, although the specs seems to be the exact same. Is this something to be concerned about, should I send back the memory and order the second one. Help appreciated!

Awesome, thank you! will go for a better hard drive!

Awesome thanks, one quick question I forgot to ask. How much of a benefit is going with the be quite cooler going to be over the stock cooler that comes with the CPU.

Hey folks. I recently kicked off a thread here regarding getting some advice on a build. As suggested I waited for the parts to come out and I've landed on a new list of parts that I'd love to get more feedback on before I go ahead with the purchase. Thanks in advance!

Hi guys I'm finally building my first PC and as a long time forum lurker and channel follower wanted to get advice from a place I trust. I've been playing around with pcpartpicker and I have this so far: PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU Intel - Core i7-9700 3 GHz 8-Core Processor $329.89 @ OutletPC Motherboard ASRock - B360 Pro4 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard $77.99 @ Amazon Memory G.Skill - Ripjaws V 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory $119.99 @ Newegg Storage Intel - 660p Series 512 GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive $59.89 @ OutletPC Storage Seagate - Constellation CS ISE 3 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive $49.99 @ Amazon Video Card MSI - GeForce RTX 2070 8 GB DUKE OCV1 Video Card $459.99 @ Newegg Case NZXT - H500i ATX Mid Tower Case $91.99 @ Amazon Power Supply Corsair - TXM Gold 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply $69.99 @ Newegg Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total (before mail-in rebates) $1299.72 Mail-in rebates -$40.00 Total $1259.72 Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-07-03 02:25 EDT-0400 Budget is around 1500-1600 USD. (I already have peripherals, and recently bought a 1440p 100Hz Freesync monitor). System is going to be used for Gaming, Software Development, and media consumption. (Maybe one day streaming or media production, but not likely). Some other random info: - I'm not really interested or have the much time to dedicate to OCing. - I'm not sure what kind of cooler the setup above would need? - I want to be able to run most games at highest settings on my monitor - I want this to be a fairly simple build to bit together as it's my first - I don't feel strongly about any of the parts so feel free to rip apart / change the whole things, suggestions welcome! I also had a look at the following thread but wanted some more personalized advice based on my use case. Thanks in advance folks!
