Yup, the motherboard was definitely dead. Bought a new one, everythings running fine now, except that the CPU is above 90°C all the time, with the AIO. The cooler as I mentioned is a Cooler Master ML240L V2 RGB, top mounted with the fans blowing out through the rad. The rad fans are plugged into the cpu_fan header and controlled by the mobo, the pump is plugged into CHA_FAN1 as there is no pump header, in bios cha_fan1 curve is set to 100% all the time. Theres 3 intake fans on the front of the case. Whats wrong here? I don't think this cooler should perform the same as the stock ryzen cooler, so I expected the temps to be waay lower.

Bent the pins back, rebuilt the whole computer, triple checked every connection, but still no dice... Its like there is no power to the computer at all. I guess the motherboard is dead?

Actually managed to bend a few pins on the cpu somehow, trying to do surgery on it right now... weird... There's like 5-6 pins bent on only one corner. Will post if i manage to fix it, however I have a question, how come this makes the computer not do anything at all? Isn't it supposed to go full fan spin with a black screen if the cpu is dead/faulty?

Hello everyone! Today I bought a Cooler Master ML240L V2 RGB AIO water cooler, and after painfully installing it (the AM4 brackets are terrible...) I wanted to test it and i was shocked to see the computer now has no power at all. I've check the connections, all the cables are seated correctly, I've loosened the pump mounting a bit, tried the unplug and hold power button to discharge method too, still no dice. There is absolutely no power at all, no lights, no fan spin, nothing. Obviously the PSU switch is flipped on, plugged into the wall, and the power switch is connected to the mobo. It was working fine before the cooler install. One thing to mention, the mobo only has two fan headers, so had to plug the pump into the chassis fan header, and the radiator fans into the cpu fan header with the included splitter, not sure if any of these matter? Is my CPU dead? or did the mobo possibly die from too much mounting pressure? Ryzen 5 3600 Asus Prime B450M-K 16GB G.Skill DDR4 256G Gigabyte sata SSD 2TB Seagate HDD Gigabyte RTX 3060 BE QUIET!

Hello everyone! Today when I was about to turn my PC on just like every other day, I found that it wouldn't power up at all. (fans do like half a spin, leds blink for a split second then it shuts off and stays like that as well.) Ruled out that the GPU is at fault here, it died on me. The computer works fine with the dead GPU removed. (has an intel something or other iGPU, tested using that for display output) Question is however, how can I know for sure that the card just reached its end of life and not the PSU fried it somehow? I don't want to buy a new card just to have it fried immediately. Like I said, if the GPU isnt installed, the computer works just fine. Power supply is: EVGA 550 B3 80+ Bronze, about 2.5 years old (which is built on a Super Flower Leadex II base, japanese caps, also is still under manufacturer warranty) Thank you in advance.

Is there a way I can be sure it is the actual GPU chip thats gone bad? I found replacement chips on ebay for pretty cheap(around 40 USD). I didn't ask for a quote on the swap yet, but there is a local shop that I know of that does BGA reballs and swaps, so if the price is right I might go for it, but I wouldn't want to waste the money and find out its not the chip after all.

I was only wondering if its not dead because with nvidias driver 442.50 a whole lot of people reported about the same kinds of issues on the official feedback thread of the new driver. It isnt MXM, its soldered to the board so, how do I go about repairing it? I guess I can't order a new chip and have it changed with the dead one at a shop that does BGA repairs?

Hello Everyone! I have an ASUS ROG GL553VE laptop, which has a GTX 1050Ti GPU. Since about last thursday, whenever I try to play a game, either instantly or after about half a minute, the screen artifacts and then either the game crashes or the system hangs and a BSOD happens. The BSOD error is either: VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE or VIDEO_SCHEDULER_INTERNAL_ERROR Also whenever this happens, windows records an error in Reliability Monitor History "Hardware Error, LiveKernelEvent code:141", and upon reboot Device Manager blocks the gpu, with a Code 43 error, saying Windows has stopped this device because it reported problems. The system works perfectly fine without an nvidia driver installed or the GPU disabled in device manager. Is my GPU dead? Troubleshooting steps already done: -DDU the driver, then reinstall with the "Clean Install" option ticked. -Different driver versions starting from 442.50 all the way down to 399.24 -Tested all other components: CPU(Prime95 stress test), RAM(Memtest86), SSD(CrystalDiskInfo says 94% health, CrystalDiskMark numbers closely match original specs) and HDD(same method), everything works fine -Complete reinstall of Windows Specs: ASUS ROG GL553VE i7-7700HQ (has an Intel HD Graphics 630 iGPU) 16Gb DDR4 (Samsung) 1TB HDD (HGST) 256GB SSD (Micron) GTX 1050Ti 4GB (SK Hynix memory, if that matters) Pictures attached of said artifacting and freezing in Apex Legends(same thing happens in any other game), and the Reliability Monitor error I mentioned(text is in Hungarian). EDIT: Temperatures are as normal as it can be for this laptop, 75-84°C for the GPU during a game(well for however long it runs anyway), and 80-86°C for the CPU. These numbers were like this since the day I bought the laptop.

Hello everyone! I bought a 20M (~65 feet) HDMI cable to run around the room from my desktop to a Samsung TV. I ran the cable, plugged it in, Windows recognized the TV and it was working fine, but I selected Duplicate screen mode from the Windows key + P menu, and it kinda broke. Since then If the TV is plugged in there is absolutely no signal on the TV, and the primary display is buggy, its "jumping" all over the place and I cant click anything or change the setting, if I press Win+P to swap between modes nothing happens. The monitor is working fine without the TV plugged in, but not the other way around, so now there is no signal on the TV even if that is the only screen plugged in. If only the TV is plugged in and I press the power button on the PC I can see the POST screen but when it reaches the Windows loading screen there is no signal from that point forward. I tried restarting both the PC and the TV, and tried all ports on both devices. Is there a way to reset the secondary monitor projection setting to default/extend screen, or to force a secondary display mode to be used? The TV is: Samsung NU7442U (UE55NU7442UXXH) The cable is: http://econ.tv/econ-hdmi-cable-20m-e-517 PC Specs: Ryzen 3 1200 ASUS Prime B450M-K 2x4GB Kingston HyperX Fury 3000MHz ASUS GTX1060 3GB Dual

I do not have another system with me that I can try the card in, but I did bring it to a local PC shop to test it there, same issue. As for the Dell part, I think I ruled that out with the other cards? At first I thougth it could be that this requires external power and is a "high power" card then, which some of these prebuilts outright don't support, but since the card didn't boot at the shop either, I think it isnt the system itself, also the fact that it did boot with a 1060, which also requires external power. I was just wondering if maybe some of these reflowing methods could work, but I don't want to make the situation even worse and maybe damage some other components with a faulty card, if that's even possible?

Hey everyone! I bought a used Asus Strix GTX 950 to put in a Dell Optiplex I had lying around, but upon arrival of the card and installing it the system, it wont power up at all. When I install the card, and plug the 6pin PCIe power in, the PSU starts making a very quiet kind of ticking sound, if I press the power button all fans spin like a quarter of a full rotation, and then nothing. It has two LEDs at the PCIe power plug, lit up red if the power isnt plugged in, and white if it is, so I guess it is receiving power. I'm pretty sure the card is dead at this point, but thought I'd ask before throwing it in the trash. Troubleshooting steps I already did: -Try without the card (the system has an iGPU), everything works completely fine. -Try other slots, no success -Try other cards (some old nVidia one, along the lines of a 7800gt, and my 1060), works fine -Unplugging and reseating everything -Resetting BIOS prior to installing the card Specs: Dell Optiplex 790 MB: Dell 0HY9JP CPU: i5-2400 Ram: 2x4gb DDR3-1333 Storage: 1TB Seagate HDD PSU: EVGA 550 B3 (550W) Do you think maybe the oven method or a proper BGA reballing of the GPU could bring it back to life?
