I suspect your right. Unfortualey it was bought 2nd hand so i cant rma, also my local service center have quoted $400 to repair it if it is a fan controller(not far off what i paid) so i was hoping there was some other troubleshooting i could try before i go down that road

Recently got a zotac 3070 ti amp holo which seems to perform fine besides the fan speeds. It doesnt seem to matter if the pc is at idle and temps are low the fan group 1 (left and middle fans) will always run at high speed. When underload the fans will either stay at the same speed or ramp up a little bit and the third fan (one on the right, group 2) will turn on as expected. GPU temp is consistantly 25 degrees at idle but the fans are going crazy, they are so loud i have to use a headset to watch somthing. Fan speeds reported as 0% for both group one and two, in both firestorm and afterburner. Manually setting the fan speed seems to do nothing and the same with setting a custom fan curve (in firestorm and afterburner). I have updated to the latest driver and zotac doesn't seem to have any vbios avaliable to update that. Unfortuatly i bought the card 2nd hand so im unable to rma. Im wondering if maybe a dodgy fan connector on the board is to blame but im not too keen to pull it apart to check... I uninstalled the driver using ddu, the only change is now just the middle fan is turning (still at full speed). HWinfo64 reports gpu fan 1 and 2 as being at 0 rpm and will go up when i set fans to 100% in afterburner. Adjusting the fan curve in after burner still seems to do nothing. I have also tried two different psu with the same results. Not really sure what else i can do so any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks. edit: reflashed vbios, didn't seem to make a difference Specs: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X aio cooler 16gb 3200mhz t force ram Gigabyte b450 aorus elite mobo Various ssds (m.2 and 2.5" sata) and a hdd

Its sata i tried with a different data and power cable and have also checked the mobo manual the lanes are not shared.

Have you plugged the 6/8pin PCIE power connector back into the gpu? Also which USB's dont work? is it just the fronts? if it is then you need to plug in the front pannel connectors they are cords that come from the front (inside of the case) and need to be plugged into the bottom of the motherboard (not sure of the extact places to plug it all in refer to your motherboard manual).

SOLVED - see https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/windows-10-installation-problems.3710452/#post-22365803 for solution I cant seem to get windows 10 installed on this build although it posts and i can get into the bios fine. I have a windows 10 bootable usb with the latest windows 10 iso put on it through rufus. Every time in try to boot off of it, it seems to initalize something but then just hangs, the pic attached is what it displays when it hangs, it just does that forever. I have tried a new bootable usb (new usb, iso download and rufus again) same thing happens (also the usb boots fine on other PCs). Swapped around ram and gpu. Psu is 750w (~700w on 12v) so should be more than plently. I also tried installing windows on the drive i want it installed on but with it connected to a different pc, windows installed without any problems, put it back in the original PC and it hangs on the mobo logo screen and says 'preparing automatic repair' forever. PS. i have a beep speaker in it and havent got any unusual beep codes just the one short beep to indicate post. EDIT: it is now posting and restarting straight away and occasionally showing a bluescreen every now and then with different stop codes eveytime irql_not_less_or_equal being the most common EDIT 2: have now tried a new psu still getting the same result i will try swapping out the mobo next as i have a b85 board that may work Specs: i5 4460 gigabyte ga-h81m (updated to lastest bios) 2x 4gb ram gpus have tried - gt710 and gtx960 psu is a CX750m I am trying to install widnows on a WD green 120gb sata ssd there is also a wd 1tb hdd that is not connected

It is and that sounds like it would kinda make sense if the card was underload right? But this is just finishing initilizing the bios and freezeing. I could be wrong but i seems unlikey that the card could heat up enough to cause problems in the 10 seconds that its been switched on and freezes. Also it runs in other systems and does fine in stress tests (doesnt get above 71c)

i5 4460 2x 8gb RAM gigabyte h81 mobo 700w PSU thermaltake (this has been removed now) sata ssd for boot drive (Windows is NOT installed) and hhd storage drive The problem is when i add an R9 Fury x to the system the gpu lights up fans spin and pump turns on and the computer will post and output a display but shortly after will completely freeze up the PC, no errors or anything. I have put the gpu in another completely different system and it worked fine, i have also tried a different gpu (3080) in this system and it works fine. I have reset bios and put in a speaker on the off chance of beep codes (didnt get any). I have also reseated gpu, ram and power connectors, when testing the power usage from the wall never went above 150W. I have tried 2x better psu (corsair rm and cx), tried differnet memory configs. I also swapped to psu from the known working system into the non working one and i had the same freezeing eveytime after post and bios. I posted about this a couple of days ago in the toms hardware forum, did get a bit of help from one fella. https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/r9-fury-x-causing-total-system-freeze.3704302/ Any ideas of what could be going on here?

Yeah CMOS battery was the problem! Thanks for everyones help.

Ok iv have another battery so ill give it a go. I dont usually do much to the bios other than set the xmp profile, make sure sata mode is ahci and usually turn off fast boot. And i make sure the bios is up to date. Is there anything in particular i should be changing in the bios settings?

So I did a new install without other drives and it happened again... No bsod this time just won't boot Ok I'll give it a go. It's a brand new motherboard though the battery should be fine right? I guess maybe not if the mobo has been sitting somewhere for a long time though?

yes it was connected. I give that a go thanks!

Im having a really strange problem with my newish build where ill install windows 10 and a couple of days later ill get a BSOD with different error messages every time. When i turn the pc back on it tells me theres no os to boot! The drive will show in bios. The strange thing is that i have tried with multiple different drives including: ADATA 256gb NVME m.2 drive ADATA 120gb NVME m.2 drive Samsung 860 256gb sata m.2 drive Cruical bx500 1tb sata 2.5inch drive All have had a similar problem... The most recent drive i tried was the 1tb sata drive and this time i didnt get a BSOD instead i shutdown the PC normally and then the next day booted the PC back up and got a message saying "An operating system wasn't found. Try disconnecting any drives that dont contain an operating system." This is a slightly different message to the other drive although i cant remember what the message was. Anyway disconnecting the other drives results in the same message. Upon booting a recovery disk iv tried startup repair and that wont run, system restore tell me i must specify which windows installation to restore. In cmd i try bootrec /fix mbr which is successful then bootrec /fix boot which says "element not found" then bootrec /rebuildbcd which finds an os and i try to add it to the boot list but this also says element not found... Notably when using rebuldbcd on all the drives other than the 1tb SATA it will tell me that "total identified Windows installations:0". All drives work fine in both this pc and others and i can reinstall the os with not problem but on this pc over the next couple of days os appears to be wiped again. PC Specs: Ryzen 7 3800x (also tried with r5 3600) Gigabyte Aorus Elite B450 16gb (2x8) TForce Ram GTX 1070 Wifi card Deepcool Gammax AIO CPU cooler At the moment as far as drives go i have the Crucial 1tb sata ssd, the samsung 860 m.2 and a wd blue 4tb hdd. Just guessing but maybe it has somthing to do with the installation media im using? (just a bootable usb) Or a motherboard problem? Maybe a driver issue? Iv been trying to fix this for months now ill likey just end up parting it out and selling it all but hopefully i can avoid that..

I got a new psu a corsair cs750m and im still getting restarts. So now everything has been swapped out for new parts except for the cpu, does that mean that the cpu is causing it?

So the only thing that appears in the event viewer is a 'critical error 41' source kernel-power and the description is - The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly. Does that indicate anything relevant? As for the power supply it has 54amps on the +12v rail which is 648 watts and 20amps on the +5v which is 100w this should be plenty for the parts im using right? Iv done a new windows install on a newly added m.2 ssd. As for the reset button i ended up unplugging all the front panel connectors just to be safe and i thought this had fixed it because the problem didn't happen for a whole day, but it did end up restarting itself again. I guess i could be. In that case is there much i can do about it? The really strange thing is there is no consistency to the restarting for example i might be trying to play battlefield 5 and the first time i launch the game it'll crash before the menu and the second ill be able to play for 2-3 hours. Also i might be playing a game with no issues for ages and get bored and launch a different game and that one will restart the PC as soon as i launch the game. What wrong with that gpu? Is galax not a reliable brand? I actually have an Asus 1070 that i tried as well and that didn't help. unfortunately i dont have an other psu to try and all my friends have laptops, i would be willing to buy another but i would like to be sure that the psu is the issue before i do that. To be honest though i really dont see what else it could be other than a driver issue. The reason i took so long to reply is because i had a good couple of days without the restarting and there was so may things i tried before that, that i have no idea what caused that to happen...

Just built a pc with all new parts except for the gpu and ssd: r5 3600 16gb gskill ram b450 aorus elite antec eagpro 650w galax 1060 6gb toshiba sata ssd WD green hdd It was working fine until i tried to play a game. So completely randomly windows with restart it self without a blue screen or any kind of error message, it mostly happens while im gaming although once or twice it restarted while i was browsing on chrome. Sometime it will do it after an hour or two, sometimes 15mins or even when as soon as i get into the games menu. Does seem to be different for certain games though for example i cant get past the menu on Civ 6, Ghost Recon breakpoints will last 5-10min and Total war 3k might go for a couple of hours. Its a new windows 10 install and my temps seem ok getting max of 65c on the gpu under full load and about 75 max on the cpu with about 40-60% load. Iv tried a few things like reseating the ram , running memtest, checked the drive health said it was all good, the os is on the ssd and all my game files are on the hdd. BIOS is updated to latest, all drivers are upto date, someone told me to turn off automatic restart and turn off fast startup which i did. Iv tried using both the balanced and high performance power plans. Did sfc/ scannow and it said it found corrupted file and repaired them but that didnt make any difference. I was downloading all my games and feel like the restarts happened more often while downloading i could be wrong though, using Ethernet at the moment still waiting for my wireless adaptor to arrive. Also i doubt this is related but i get alot a crackling noise on both my speakers and usb headset which never happened on my old PC. So would like suggestions on what to try next, Cheers!
