My PC was working perfectly fine until I wanted to help a friend of mine. His PC was not turning on at all. It would only light up for a short period and then turn off again. I offered him my help. We connected his MoBo and with the PSU of my parent´s PC and tried to turn it on. It lit up for a short period and then shut down. Afterwards nothing was turning on. My friend´s and parent´s PC were both dead. My friend´s PC was not turning on anymore not even for a short period. My parent´s PC would turn on but it just has a black screen now. Even the connected M/K do not have power (Numblock and Caps Lock indicator not turning on). I wanted t test if the CPU was dead so I put it in my PC which has the same socket (AM4). The PC would not boot at all, same problem. I forgot that the CPU was a newer generation and the BIOS on my MoBo did not support it yet. Thus putting in my old CPU because I wanted to download a newer BIOS and flash it. But now windows would end up in a BOSD loop. The furthest I got was the login screen. Things I could check quickly if they are showing up in the BIOS correctly are: - right CPU - right CPU clock - right amount of RAM I thought I might have destroyed my Win10 Partition. No big deal everything import is in the cloud or on external drives. I wanted to install Linux and grabbed ubuntu. During the installation I got got his screen. The second screen got me to the live part of the installation but it complety froze. M/K a light up but caps lock is not working. USB Drive is not showing reads or writes. For me as a somewhat noob it looks like a hardware failure but I can not determine which part. And how it lead to two dead PCs.

I just today on 16/7/2020 applied thermal paste on my cpu I kept the computer on ground and sat in the floor to apply the thermal compound but after doing all the usual checking and placing the cooler tight the pc is not turning on still(no signs of life). nothing is turning on even the light on my motherboard is not turning on. My pc specs:- 1.)Intel e1260 dual core processor @1.8ghz 2.) 2gb DDR2 800mhz single channel ram 800mhz 3.) gigabyte ga-945-gcm-s2l motherboard 4.)500gb ide drive Plzzz help I am a student and I want my computer back urgently for study purpose. Thanks in advance Edit:- I have still not pulled out the cpu and the ide connector and the 24pin because the ide connector and the 24pin power connectors are really tight.so should I try to remove them??????

ok so this is gonna be a bit of a long one but ill try to shorten it as much as possible. for a long time my computer was working fine great even but then I accidentally installed a bad stick of ram and that killed it i obviously pulled the bad stick out but to no avail. After that i started troubleshooting the rest of the memory starting with pulling out all but one stick and cycling it through each dimm slot and then repeating the process for each known good module being sure to use the memok function on my motherboard on each configuration but still nothing worked/ the post code is 53 which means memory initialization error but the interesting thing is even with no ram installed its the same code when in that case it should be 55 this started to lead me to believe it was possibly the motherboard or even the cpu causing the issue so i cleared the CMOS which didn't work so then i reseated the cpu being sure to check all contact pins and pads and even though they were fine this still didn't fix anything system info: CPU: intel 5930k mobo: asus rampage v extreme memory: 16gb corsair vengeance lpx 2666 GPU: 980 ti PSU: corsair ax1200i I am completely out of ideas here so any help would be appreciated

I just built my first PC after waiting for 2 months for the parts and overpaying for inflated parts; it isn't booting nor producing any beep codes, just dead. I'm looking at the PSU since (aside from the basics such as properly seating the processor, inserting the ram in their proper slots, not a misplaced standoff, or actually turning on the PSU, etc.) I've also pre-tested my RAM and Graphics Card in a computer service shop and they're working perfectly. Components: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Asus TUF B450-M Plus Gaming Powercolor RX580 (Used but as said already tested) 2 x 4 gb 2666 Mhz Kingston HyperX 256 gb Team Group GX2 SATA 2.5" SSD 1 tb Seagate Barracuda Item in question: Corsair CV550 80+ Bronze More details: I've tried shorting out the front panel power button pins and the computer still won't start. Next, I've disconnected the PSU from the rest of the computer except for the Molex fans and drives, I tried the paperclip test on it, and the fan did not move even by a bit. I even tried swapping the cable for another one but still nothing. If anyone has the same model could you please tell me if the fan immediately turns after turning your computer on (read on some forums that some PSU fans don't immediately start turning until hitting up a certain load) or if anyone has an idea on why it's not booting at all, please let me know. I can't afford having an expensive brick after working my ass off and am on the end of my wits

So basically, I tried to put bitlocker on my 2 TB hard drive (which was a huge mistake... never do it again). It took so long that I cancelled it but something happened in it? So I tried to recover it with an option in cmd (I forgot what it was... maybe diskpart?) but my dad shut off the computer in the process of recovering by accident. Now, I have a hard drive that when I plug in to my computer, crashes Disk Management and shows up as Local Disk (D:) and Local Disk (E:) which I have no idea how it got there. It does show up as a 2 TB Seagate Drive when I pull up device manager so that's a plus... Oh and diskpart freezes every time I try and use it with admin permissions in cmd... So I have some plusses that it is showing up but some others to indicate that it's failing. Does anyone have any advice on how to fix it in as little cost as possible? I have given up trying to recover the data off of the hard drive so even trying to wipe and reset the hard drive is good enough for me. Thank you very much! (Quick update: when I unplugged my hard drive, it does show up as Disk 1 in disk management but it says unreadable... Shown as a picture below)

A few months ago my PC started to BSOD and crash when playing video games. I'll list original specs, testing specs, and current specs at the bottom. I ran benchmark, such as cinebench and heavenly, and stress tests such as aida64 and memtest but they all came out good. My computer kept getting BSOD so I took a shot in the dark that my CPU was the problem since I dropped it and bent the pins when I first installed it. All the pins are straight now. This is also the last time I got a BSOD, from here It crashes to a black screen and no power to keyboard or mouse. I attached pictures of the error code. One points to Nvidia drivers. I did a complete wipe and reinstall of all Nvidia drivers but the code continued to show. I put a Ryzen 1700x into the original setup but it would crash before even getting into windows so I brought in another motherboard to try that out, bringing us to the testing specs. I used the new motherboard and 1700x with the rests of my original parts on a test bench for a week with no issues, so I updated the BIOS and inserted the Ryzen 2700x. This continued to work for another week unhindered. I went ahead and purchased a new motherboard that will be compatible with Zen3 in the future and rebuilt with that, bringing us to the current set up. The new built with the 2700x and x570 board worked for 2 days before it would begin to stutter into a complete crash. I installed the 1700x and this worked for 3 days before the same issue began again. I'm not sure if it could be related, but about 3 weeks before this started happening my original WD Blue 2tb drive failed and I replaced it. Original: mobo: Aorus ultra gaming x470 Cpu: Ryzen 2700x Ram: GSkill trident Z 2x8GB 3200MHz Gpu: Gigabyte Nvidia 2070 variation of some kind Power supply: corsair 750W gold+ Storage: WD Black 500GB NVMe m.2 2 tb seagate barracuda Testing: mobo: Asus prime x370 Pro Cpu: Ryzen 1700x / Ryzen 2700x Ram: GSkill trident Z 2x8GB 3200MHz Gpu: Gigabyte Nvidia 2070 variation of some kind Power supply: corsair 750W gold+ Storage: WD Black 500GB NVMe m.2 2 tb seagate barracuda Current: mobo: Asus Strix ROG x570 itx Cpu: Ryzen 1700x / Ryzen 2700x Ram: GSkill trident Z 2x8GB 3200MHz Gpu: Gigabyte Nvidia 2070 variation of some kind Power supply: NZXT 650W - comes with NZXT H1 Storage: WD Black 500GB NVMe m.2 2 tb seagate barracuda

So this is my first build and everything was working fine until i plugged in an older gpu my friend gave me for encoding. Mobo = ASRock B450 steel legend Cpu = Ryzen 5 2600 Gpu = gtx 1650 super Ram = 2 8gb T-Force 3200 Psu = Thermaltake smart 430w ----------------------------------------------- We plugged in the older gpu to use the encoder for obs and now all of the onboard leds blink red and nothing happends it just blinks no beeps. Ive looked all over the forums but they talk about the rgb headers. Not the mobo blinking red and not posting. No fan spin no nothing. We unplugged the old gpu but still nothing its an older amd gpu.

Hey guys, Lately, I’ve been having issues regarding my boot drive. Every time I boot up into windows, a message pops up on the loading screen saying “press any key to skip boot checking.” It happens every time and I’m just trying to see what I can do. My SSD is formatted as an NTFS drive, which apparently makes it more difficult to recover? I’m just trying to see if anyone knows if this means my drive is failing, corrupted, in dire need of RMA. UPDATE: I used the SMART Tool that Intel has available for their consumers. It was unable to find anything wrong with the drive. However, when I go to properties and use the error checking tool in Windows, it says that errors were detected and every time I try to repair those errors, they do not go away. Any guidance?

Hello! I just built my first system, all new parts, but it doesn't do anything when I press the power button. The system is not complete, graphics card hasn't arrived yet, but here's the parts list: CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 Mobo: Asus Prime X470 pro RAM: G.Skill Trident-Z Royal 3000Mhz cl16 2x8GB Storage: Kingston a2000 1TB m.2 nvme ssd PSU: Corsair RM 650x Case: Lian-Li Lancool 2 I just wanted to testboot the parts that I already have, because there are some parts that are closing in on their 1 month after purchase. The motherboard is sure getting power, because the rgb lights up as soon as I flip on the psu. I tried reconnecting the powerswitch connector every way, also tried shorting out the pins, didn't work. Reconnected the power cables, reseated the ram sticks, didn't work. As a last resort I pulled the graphics card from my flatmates pc and put it in my rig, still didn't work. Might be worth to note that the mobo was an OEM part. I have three possibilities in mind: 1. The mobo has a case of DOA 2. maybethe cmos battery is dead. 3. The board might have been sitting in the sellers storage since before the bios updates, so the bios might not have been flashed to support ryzen 3000 series (though i don't know if that could cause a no power on). Please, help me out!

So recently my PC starts to crash and just go into a black screen and be completely unresponsive, no sound or any input is being registered. My temps for both GPU and CPU are around 40-45C when it crashed because I was just on doing lightweight tasks(Web browsing, 3d print slicing). I've tried reseating my ram and GPU, check the reliability history and event logs, but nothing seems too alarming(I don't really know what I'm look for tbh) also, I have not made any hardware or software change to my system for about a few weeks and this happened a few day ago. The power or reset button are also not responsive so I have to brutally restart my PC by pulling the cord from my PSU Specs: R5 1600 16GB Corsair Ram Zotac GTX 1080 Asus Prime X-370 Pro Silverston 700W 80Plus Titanium Anyone with any ideas or suggestion on how to fix or find whats causing my PC to crash would be much appreciated!

Essentially: "SMART detected HHD/SSD failure 2: Corsair Neutron XT SSD WARNING! Please back up your data and replace your hard disk drive. WARNING! Your HDD/SSD might crash at any moment. Press F1 to Run SETUP." I can't get past the BIOS, the PC just restarts and shows the same error. All the devices are still showing up in the BIOS and on the warning page. Was having no issues prior to installing a new GPU & CPU cooler. I was getting a CPU fan speed error prior to the failure warning because I'd accidentally put the CPU fan on a chassis fan header (silly me). After shutting the PC down and fixing that problem I got the failure screen.

Hi! I have a weird issue with my motherboard. I have freshly installed windows 10 64bit on my computer and when I want to shut it down first I got the windows screen with the shutting down text and the loading, then the display goes off turns to sleep, but the pc and all of the fans are keep running and they wont stop. But when I restart it it shuts down for a few second and then start itself again. Help me please what can I do with it? PC config: Motherboard: Asrock H61M-DG3/USB3 CPU: Intel Core I3 3220 RAM: 2x4GB DDR3 1333MHz SSD: Kingstone A400 240GB GPU: Gigabyte Geforce GTX 550Ti PSU: 500W

Hello Forum, Months ago the motherboard of one my laptops (ASUS F555L) got broken (I was almost 100% sure about that after t-shooting but I took the laptop to an authorized repair shop and it was confirmed). The repair shop offered to replace the board for ~900 BGN (around 500$) which was ridiculous given the fact that I bought the laptop (brand new) for 700 BGN (around 390$). After some searching I found a replacement board with even better processor for just 140$. After months of waiting I finally got the board, replaced it and the laptop was back to life (almost). The only thing that wasn't working was the display, however I was able to use an external display without a problem. I figured that maybe this was some sort of driver issue so I started downloading new drivers for the new board (ASUS X555LD). Everything was fine until I've decided that upgrading the BIOS will be also a good idea.... At the moment the laptop will power UP and that's it - no Windows, no BIOS, no image - just a black screen (the same way like it used to be before replacing the board). I'm not even 100% sure if nothing happens or just the display is not working... I was reading that there's a way to flash a new BIOS from a USB drive but I'm not sure if I'd be able to do this with this board. Furthermore I'm not even able to take out the CMOS battery from the motherboard because it doesn't have one. For the update I was using firmware and tools from the ASUS' website and before the restart of the machine everything was fine - I also received a message that the update was successful. P.S. I'm aware that this ASUS series are quite crappy but my mom was using the machine in order to run very lite software products and it was doing the job just fine.

Hi I would like to ask why does it do this? Is it dead? All of Steam GONE! :(

I built this PC about a month and a half ago and have had no problems thus far. Specs: AMD Ryzen 3900x, RTX 2080 Super, MSI MPG x570 Pro Carbon Gaming Wifi mobo, Corsair vengeance 16GB DDR4 3600 RAM, Corsair H100i AIO liquid CPU cooler, SeaSonic Focus Plus Gold 850 W PSU, Western Digital Blue 1 TB m.2 NVME ssd, runs Windows 10 x64 Note: whenever my computer boots up normally, the cpu light goes red, and the fans spin fast, then the light goes off and the fans return to normal speed I was on Discord talking with a friend when, suddenly, the display cut off, and the computer, which was still on, did the same thing it does when it boots up (red light, fast fans, then back to normal). Then, the MSI logo came up, and then the screen cut off again. The boot up thing happened again, the msi logo came up again, and then the screen displayed "updating" for the MSI bios I believe, went from 0 to 100%, and then the screen cut off again. From there, the computer stayed on and continuously looped the red light, fast fans, back to normal boot up sequence without ever sending a display signal. I turned the computer off and back on. From there, it acted normally for a good couple minutes (I got back onto Discord), then the display cut off again. It then entered back into that boot sequence loop for a while until eventually the loop stopped and the computer just sat there, rgb flashing, fans spinning, just like normal, but idle, never sending any display signal to the monitor or signal to the keyboard. I cleared the CMOS, and after that, it now only does the bootup sequence once upon startup, like normal, but the computer has still yet to send any signal to the display or the keyboard, meaning I can't pull up the bios. Some help would be extraordinarily appreciated. Thanks.

Hey guys, I'm new here. So, this morning i woke up, and turned on my laptop (which is ASUS X54H, and it only has one SODIMM slot) and it kept reebooting after just 5 seconds of each restart, and after about 10 reboots, the cooling fan started to spin like crazy, but in short bursts. It didn't post anything, even the logo, or the bios. I tried spamming f8 or del while booting but nothing happend. So i thought it might be hardware problem. I took out the HDD, tried it on my PC and it worked properly. Then i started thinking it might be the RAM. So i tried booting the laptop without the ram, and it happend the exact same thing, constant rebooting. The thing is I'm pretty sure it's a RAM failure, but I wanna hear a word from you guys, I'll post pics of the ram, I read that cheap RAM's tend to fail after some time.

So I've been using this motherboard for 3 months and today when I started it a VRM caught fire. I've never overclocked or anything using a 600 watt Thermaltake smart power supply for Ryzen 5 2600x. Any clue what would've caused this? I am just hoping nothing else is fried at this point. Also anyone else have issues with Asus horrible customer service?

Hello all! So I just made a new PC build that literally took me like 100 hour+ of research to be sure everything will be ok, but I missed only a thing. I bought 16x2 gb of 3200 mhz crucial ballistix but I did not know that it is recommended to buy ram as kit and I bought two separate sticks of 16 gb ram because it was a little cheaper and I did not know that it can be differences. PC is working fine, no problem, but I see a lot of people recommending getting ram as kit. So my question is if I should have bought them as a kit(or try to replace them now) or it is ok this way because in an event of a stick failure I can send only that stick for warranty and not the whole kit so I can still run my PC. I know that in an event like this I will have to then ask for a refund of that broken stick and buy a kit because the new one will not likely be the same but then I will have a new kit and a spare stick for this kind of events. And from what you guys know, how likely is that ram will fail, I mean if it's like the most likely component that usually fail. Thank you for you time!

Why are harddrives made to this size if harddrives have more rates of total drive failure and slow speeds? And does the Harddrive speed matter if it’s an SSHD?

Ryzen 7 3700X upgrade. I have just recently upgraded my PC from Ryzen 7 1800X to the Ryzen 7 3700X. All seemed to be going well except that it was not finding my DDR 4 3200 memory. I can use DOCP and finds my 3200 memory and will run at that speed. However, the Bios still shows 2133 on dimm slots A2 & B2 on main page. Not sure if this is common. I tried 3 different kinds of 3200 memory with the same results. Unit posted and loaded windows when I installed my Samsung 970 eve plus boot drive. Now, sometimes, when I boot the computer it hangs at the yellow board LED. Everything lights up and runs as thought it is going to post properly but stops at yellow LED. Pressing the reset button on the case (sometimes multiple times) the unit then restarts the post process beeps once and works its way through the remaining 3 LED lights and boots into windows. There are no error messages and the computer works fine. The next time I reboot the computer is may post fine or I'll have to do the reset thing. I have tried all the trouble shooting steps mentioned on various posts on this forum. Have been in contact with Gskill tech support and ASUS tech support and still have not found a solution. The computer is RUNNING a Ryzen 7 3700X on an Asus Prime X570 Pro board. BIOS 1405. Ram DDR4-3200 8GBX2 G.Skill Trident Z RGB 2X8 F4-3200C16D-16GTZR.

Hi Guys, Maybe somebody here can help me out. Ive reinstalled my ASUS X542UN (WINDOWS 10 Pro)laptop and swapped the hard drive to an SSD. Everything went well, everything was working until this point. It started throwing some Kernel-Power critic error. It shuts down the computer like usually an hour or so but sometimes some minutes and gets back and working. But is is not that convient.

Hi everyone! So here is the story. This is a build I just updated/upgraded for my bestfriend. Only two days after the build was booted and AMD Radeon software I believe is fully up-to-date this issue occurs. See attachments. Specifications are listed below for parts. I haven't found a solution to this issue yet as it has just occurred today. But most solutions are to keep the monitor powered off until the PC has fully started up. This setup is a double display monitor setup. BenQ monitor is DP to DP and is a G-sync monitor refurbished only two years old and Samsung monitor is HDMI to HDMI. I did a fresh install when I did this build and the product key didn't work so we had to buy a new one(new one is Windows 64-bit Pro). Upon doing this I didn't get to install much of anything else as far as updates including perhaps a BIOS update and other drivers. Images of what my friend sees https://imgur.com/a/dlWCiVm Specifications: Motherboard: PRIME B450M-A/CSM Ram: G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (Model - F4-3200C16D-16GVKB) GPU: MSI Radeon RX 580 Armor 8G OC Edition CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700 8 core 16 thread 3.2 GHz Base Side note: His Turtlebeach headphones are plugged into the audio front panel of the desktop but Windows Audio isn't recognizing he has a microphone. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated as well.

I recently built a new gaming PC that was working fine until I started messing around with the overclock. Randomly when I tried booting to Windows 10 (I have booted more than once before), the the startup was frozen. I hard reset it by holding down the power button and shut it down. I started it up again and got to Windows 10. The problem was that it said that it failed to start it. I went to bios and I turned off Ai overclock tuner provided by ASUS. This time it perfectly booted to Windows 10. I really wanted to overclock so I restarted and went back to BIOS and turned back on Ai Overclock Tuner. When I booted to windows 10 it gave me the same error again. I tried this 2 more times until finally when I turned on the pc, it just started Windows 10 without the option to press delete to go to BIOS. I restarted and went to windows 10 advanced startup options and click on the option to go to the BIOS. I clicked on it and waited but all there was is a black screen. Can someone please help fix this? Do I have to jump the motherboard, take out the cmos battery and put it back in, or etc.? This is my part list https://pcpartpicker.com/user/OutsideBeast/saved/

My pc sometimes give an error of SYSTEM thread expception and code: stornvme.sys Once it went into a BSOD bootloop, am completley stuck and have no idea what to do. Is my kingston A2000 M.2 500GB NVME broken? I have seen a thread regarding that specific ssd, is it just a coincidence or is it the same issue?

Hi everyone i just got myself a new stick of ddr4 8gb corsair 2666mhz i have checked everything and made sure that is was compatible, which is should be. the other stick i have is also ddr4 8gb, but kingston and 2400mhz When i insert it it fits and everything, but when i turn on my pc, there is now a red blinking led, next to the ram, which blinks between "CPU" and "RAM" that is what is stated on the motherboard next to the ram. When i removed the stick everything worked as it should again. Cant seem to figure out what is wrong. Please help, it would be a pleasure. Thanks, Merry christmas.
