  1. Okay, now I'm thinking windows is corrupted. I tried to shut the comp down yesterday and was just spinning on the shut down screen for a good 10-20 minutes before i killed it. I think Windows reinstall is in order.
  2. Lately I started playing Cities Skylines again, and as usual i play the game with mods. I do notice that everytime I try to load the loading screen mod, which is probably one of the best mods out there, tells me that the game is asking for around 18-19GB of memory. Unfortunately, I'm capped at 16. I don't have any trouble playing the city, I mean there are a few stutters and the odd slowdown but nothing gamebreaking. so gameplaywise everything is fine. When i go to shut the game down however, the game crashes as i shut the game down. As to why i dont know. But everytime i try to shut down the PC, there is still power to the fans and the motherboard. this only happens when i shut the computer down after playing cities skylines. Even if I let it sit for awhile. after closing the game. It powers on fine again afterwards. no problem and last night i thought i'd try again WITHOUT even opening the Cities, and sure enough, computer powers down without issue. What gives? not enough memory, memory running too hot?

  3. So i decided to finally swap out my old hardrives in my system, for new ones. (and before anyone says anything I know mechanical drives are becoming old and obsolete but I got 4TB for around 160 bucs give or take) I also bught an external dock to be able to transfer everything from the old drives tio the new. My question, is it best to install the new drives in the case BEFORE tranferring my files to them (using the old ones in the dock), or is it safe to transfer everything to them BEFORE installing them in the case (using the new ones in the dock)?
  4. Brand new board. Had to replace it for a different issue. That one had the same issue.
  5. Hey you gods of techtips. My STRIX X570-F is being really wierd. I just recently installed an update for windows 10 on the system, only for the machine not to boot for the restart. When i pulled the DP cable it it installed the Feature Update just fine on the second try. The mobo gave out the same error beeps as it does every startup. One long, three short. This means no VGA output found, yet I have no VGA connected anywhere and the Ryzen 9 prevents from getting any output from the board itself. However, on a completely normal boot with two monitors, one connected via DP, the other via HDMI, it still boots to Windows after giving the error. So what the hell gives?

  6. I did apply a small overclock to the GPU. It is an old 970 but I do have a hard time seeing how that is the problem. Thing is both motherboard and psu is about a year old
  7. So on Saturday my pc decided to just randomly shut off and wouldn't turn on unless I turn the power supply off and on. In the hope that this was just a one time thing I thought nothing of it. Then today it happened again. So I decided to check if it was dusty or any loose cables. But nothing out of the ordinary. Only thing that was hot to the touch was the GPU. I start the pc up again and 20 minutes later same thing. Then it only took five minutes for it to shut off. I'm scared now that if I use the computer again in this state I'll damage more. Any thoughts on what it could be?
  8. Welp.... I hadn't turn the lever to fasten it properly. Hence the looseness...
  9. So I just recently reinstalled. Upon installing programs and drivers and such the computer naturally had to make a couple of restarts. On several of those the speaker beeped three times and the screen gave e a "CPU OVER TEMP ERROR". Then when finally back in Windows after all the installs I go to check CPU temp. 80C+ on idle. What's wrong here? Is it normal or do I just need to reapply thermal paste? I did notice the stock cooler was a little bit loose. I have not done any overclocks.
