Hey guys, my pc was constantly crashing so I decided to run memtest86 on the 2 of my 8GB sticks (16GB kit) and one of them was faulty. So I am wondering, can faulty ram be repaired by a repair shop? the warranty hasnt expired but if i have to send the ram it might take a while and i dont really want to wait many weeks

So, my old x58-based gaming pc is on it's last verse. The symptom is that it crashes on boot. I moved the ssd over to a backup pc with an identical Asus P6X58D-E board (with an older bios) and the same windows installation booted just fine. I moved the ram and gpu over and things are stable. I've narrowed it down to either the cpu, psu or motherboard. The CPU (Xeon W3680) didn't want to run stable at stock voltage and required at least 1.35V which leads me to believe that the cpu is degraded to the point it needs replacing, wonky motherboard (did give me some issues with the old i7 960 previously used) that can't feed enough voltage and/or current to the cpu, or that the 10+ years old Corsair HX1000V power supply is starting to show it's age. I'm considering ordering another xeon off aliexpress just to throw into the machine that's working cause the 1st gen i7 is struggling with games.

So the other day i bought a GTX 780 ti for parts on ebay. When it came It loaded up completely fine untill I installed nvidia drivers onto it, then it stopped booting after that and my screen was covered in purple lines. Then after I decided to reflow and the card, the card now boots with "drivers" installed. But when ever i check for driver updates it says that the latest ones are installed but i still need to download those latest drivers (see pictures) and the screen is still covered in these purple lines. When I try to launch up games it says that the drivers are either not found or updated. I've DDU'd multiple times in (safe mode and without safe mode) and reinstalled but it doesn't seem to fix the issue. If anyone knows anything about this, your help would be greatly appreciated.

Please read the whole post I'm running i5 6400 ddr3 8+8GB ram rx 590 OC edition 5 cassis fan with Thermaltake smart se 630W PSU So the problem is i've been using this 1200va powerguard ups for a year, 2 months age it's started facing this issue. whenever UPS makes a clicking sound pc restart's, so i was using another 650VA ups for couple of weeks, after couple of weeks later this one is also started facing the same problem. i know UPS's are faulty now cause whenever spikes UPS used to make clicking sound but now it doesn't. also if i turn the main power off pc runs on battery, when i turn it back on pc restart's most of the time The retailer said UPS is faulty, and someone i know said maybe my PSU's capacitor's are dying, so which one is it ? Also retailer suggested me to buy higher VA than 1200VA, but 1200va is 720W i don't think i need more than that? why UPS's are becoming faulty like that?

Hello,I have an ROG STRIX-GTX1060-6G-GAMING ( https://www.asus.com/us/ROG-Republic-Of-Gamers/ROG-STRIX-GTX1060-6G-GAMING/ ) GPU, and I've had it for 3 years already, and it's been great, but there's this little thing that started to bother me just now. On that webpage, the pictures clearly indicate that the card has led on all three fans, and that the ROG eye and text lights up good all the way.Now, mine looks like this: The ROG eye and the "REPUBLIC OF GAMERS" on the side of it clearly does not have its lights on, it only recieves some from the right side becouse the lights on the third fan are working. So the "GAMERS" word is pretty well lit up, not perfectly tho, and the eye logo and the other words are just dark and faded. The first two fans (going from left to right ofc) don't even light up at all!? Is this a faulty card and I've only noticed it after 3 years or are all of these just like this? I bought the card in 2016-11-11 (NOT from ASUS, I live in Hungary Europe) And it should have 3 years of limited warranty. Idk if it lasts.I noticed that on the right side of the GPU there are two of what look like to be 4-pin power connectors and I haven't plugged them in. I don't think that's the problem tho, I dont think you're supposed to plug those in. But if yes tell me lol Thanks

Greetings! This is my first post here, so apologies if this ends up in the wrong section. On the 23/09/2018 I bought an MSI RTSX 2070 Gaming Z on ebay from a company called CCL computers. I had previously been using an MSI GTX 1060 Twin Frozr. This was in a new PC that I built in late August with an 8700k (specs and picture at bottom of post). The GTX 1060 never went above 69°C even under full load. To my dismay, even while having a much larger cooler on it, the RTX 2070 was reaching 80°C in my case. I looked around online and read that it might be the thermal paste causing the issue. So... like an idiot, I decided to change the thermal paste on the card to some Noctua NT-H1 to see if it would improve temps. It did not. I decided to give it one more try with some MX-4 just to put the idea to rest that it was the thermal paste. No change either (which I kind of expected). I was going to simply let it run hot, but this made my PC bluescreen several times, which the 1060 never did. Of course, in changing the thermal paste, I damaged the "MSI Warranty Void" sticker when removing the screws for the cooler. And, when cleaning the thermal paste off of the cooler heatsync smudged some of the numbering on a sticker attached to the cooler. (not enough to make the numbers unreadable, but enough to know that something has been done) So when I asked to send it back to the company who sold it to me they accepted my request, tested the card, said it was faultless and that it never rose above 71°C, but would not accept it for a refund because of the damaged sticker. This was a bit irritating since I DID mention the sticker to them when requesting a solution. At this point, I tried to salvage the situation by looking into Undervolting with MSI Afterburner, since changing to a custom fan curve alone wasn't helping much. By default, the card was clocked around 1965Mhz while pulling around 1013mV. So I tested lower voltages to see if they were stable in a few games (Vermintide 2, Overwatch, Heaven Benchmark) and had success at 875mV for a while, but ultimately had to increase the power to 900mV to stop the display driver from crashing. While it lasted, this worked a treat, lowering the temps from 80°C when gaming to 67°-71° and no higher. However, after playing overwatch for several hours without a problem, the display driver crashed on me. So I tried it again, only for it to crash minuted after getting into game. I tried adjusting the curve to increase the voltage a bit, but to no avail. And then tried running the card at stock to see if it would still crash. And it did. Now, no matter what I do, any 3d application crashes the display driver within 3 seconds. I've tried shutting down the pc, re-seating the card, testing the low voltage and the stock settings again. I'm at the end of my rope. I spent £585 on this card, and now it seems like the most expensive PC component i've ever bought, is now the biggest mistake i've ever made with PC hardware. I've always had mid-range PC's and the one time I save up and decide to go for more premium components, I get hit with problems, and then start making mistakes. Honestly I just wanted to put the card in my PC and for it to work, not exceed temps in reviews by 11°C and crash the system. I get that reviews are usually done on open air test benches, but for the temp difference to be more than 10°C? I wasn't happy about that, especially since this card is advertised as being "Cool and Quiet". So, after that long idiotic story. I have 3 questions: #1: Is there ANY way to fix this problem I'm having with the card? Since its Crashing (and sometimes artifacting) no matter what I do. #2: Is it worth trying to RMA the card with MSI? #3: Is it just worth selling the card on ebay for a loss as a "Faulty, buy at your own risk" item? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can't really afford to waste £600. And I assume because of my stupidity. I have. -Headcrash PC SPECS: CPU: Intel i7-8700K @ 4.6Ghz RAM: 16GB DDR 4 G.Skill Trident Z 3000Mhz (no XMP profiles enabled so its running lower than 3000Mhz) MB: Gigabyte Z370P D3-CF GFX: MSI RTX 2070 Gaming Z PSU:EVGA 650W GQ 80+ GOLD OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

Hi! My friend bought a new PSU (Thermaltake 600W SMART RGB) for his system and is experiencing crashes when gaming, but not when stress testing with any tools (Aida, OCCT, FurMark, Unigine, a.s.o.) I asked him to send me some pictures of the results and I saw he's not getting 12v on the 12v rail, but only 10. I've just done some light reading and found out this might indicate a faulty PSU but I wanted to double check, since I'm not familiar with it and the PSU is new (bought this week from Amazon.de). Is that the case? If so, shall he get a better PSU and possibly more wattage? More on the issue and his specs here (also posted on the forum)

Hello guys, I purchased this 31.5 inch ASUS XG32VQ monitor like 2 months ago, and yesterday I started experiencing some weird shit. The black text appear to be red or blue, not all of the letters, but like every second or third. First I thought it's because I'm tired or something, probably my eyes. Then it was kind of like gone, but now I woke up and it's still here!!! What the heck? I'm really freaking out, do I have to send in for warranty? It had no problems until now. Sometimes it switches between blue and red, after closing and opening up. Please help me!

Hello . Today I received my new gigabyte p750gm as an upgrade for my old evga b3 but it appears to be completely dead on arrival. I have tested it with 3 different outlets and 2 different cables but I cannot get it to power on. When it is plugged in to the wall and I have everything plugged into the psu the motherboard rgb light will turn on but nothing else appears to have power. Please let me know if you have any questions because I have no idea where to go from here

Hey guys I need help I got my new monitor yesterday (ASUS TUF Gaming VG259Q) and I have a wired feeling its faulty. Out out of the box, when I went to plug in the power cable, I noticed that the actual power input on the monitor was seemingly pushed inside the monitor and was off centre/loose. I moved it around a little and it plugged in and it turns on with no problem. My problem lies with the picture, this is a 144hz IPS display, but viewing angles dont seem great. I have put the brightness up to 100% with still no luck. this is to the point where if im looking directly at it the sides are noticeably darker than the middle, and its only 24 inches. Compared to my other older and cheaper IPS display, the older one out performs it in this space. Although the newer one is brighter. My other problem is it seems like theres a blue filter on the monitor. I have played around with all the settings I possibly can, all the user modes are horrible except for one. I have tried calibrating it but I dont really know what im doing so it didnt help. The blacks dont seem very deep at all either, atleast not compared to my old one. the other colours are vivrant, but this blue glow is really annoying. On some other settings the monitor has a seemingly yellow filter over a blue one. I even tried setting it to normal colour temp instead of the user mode and that is extremely blue. Now I'm not sure if this monitor is faulty or I was just expecting more? The reviews are very good only so I dont know if I should ask for a replacement. I am known to be very picky ahaha. When i use it with my PS4 the colours seem nice and monitor works well ingame, but for daily work I am dissopointed. Does anyone know how to help? thanks in advance

G'day I have recently (about 4 months ago) installed a 64GB kit of RAM into my computer (upgrading from 32GB) and this has been causing me all sorts of problems. I have not been able to overclock the RAM and it appears to be crashing constantly if my CPU and/or RAM usage is too high (often while processing photos and videos in lightroom/premiere). I'll attach some screenshots of my exact Motherboard, RAM and CPU. It worked well and overclocked to 3200Mhz when i had the previous kit, so not sure what might be the problem here other than faulty RAM? Is there any way to check this? It's not specifically listed in the compatible RAM kits for the motherboard however no 64GB kits were and I thought if my previous Trident Z kit worked, this one would too. Cheers for any advice or help! Nick

Hello! I bought a Lenovo Y700 15ACZ yesterday and brought it home to test, but today, when I launched Furmark and Unigine Heaven 4.0 at 39% battery, in 15 seconds it shut down entirely and when I connected it to the charger, it indicated 0% chagre. I tried benchmarking while plugged in and it works good. I also tried charging it to 100% and playing youtube videos for about an hour and a half and the battery held up pretty well, but I can't figure out why it doesn't run for more than 15sec while unplugged. While the laptop is tilted or upside down, there seems to be a rattling sound, as if something is in the cooling fan, so now I'm wondering if I should just return it. Do you guys know what causes this kind of behavior?

Hi, I really need your help. My friends PC is kinda new, maybe like 2 months old. I was here to build it for him. All of the sudden computer seems to crash, no BSOD just a plain error. PC stops outputting video/audio signal, all interaction is completely dead. You just have to hard reset it. It happened time to time, then it was more frequent. Like 2 times a day. So I took the computer to my house and started testing. Set bios to default, updated it with a proper bios version. Run all kind of stress tests: 10 hour memtest, furmark stress test, cpu-z stress test and then AIDA64 combined. No errors at all. All temps good. So I thought it was solved by some bios settings. And of coure it worked as intended in my hands. Some time later I received a call from him. He says it started doing all over again, time to time from the beginning and now it does like 5 times a day. He even tried to plug the computer in different power outlets. Nothing solved that. I don't know what could cause this. I have some suspicion that the PSU might be faulty, but there is no way of me trying that out. Side note: All of the drivers are up to date, tried rolling back to an older gpu driver but with no result. Only generic usb devices are plugged in. 2nd side note: Windows logs are just saying something caused critical error such a loss of power. specs CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Mobo: B450M Pro4-F RAM: Patriot Viper 4 3000Mhz CL16 GPU: XFX GTS Radeon RX 580 PSU: Corsair VS650 OS SSD: Apacer 256GB HDD: Seagate BarraCuda 1TB Don't ask me why, but price played a biggest role. I would appreciate any help. If you could assure me that it's really caused by some faulty hardware or the PSU itself, it would be very nice. Thank you and sorry for my bad grammar.

First off, i know there are other posts to do with a pc crashing, but ive tried literally everything i could find and i feel as though my case is different. I initially thought it was a psu issue, so i bought an evga 750w psu. This psu faces the grills on the bottom of the case for adequate airflow intake. I also replaced my hard drive with an ssd as i thought i had a faulty segment. I performed a fresh installation of windows and used driver easy to check and manually install all of the latest drivers. I also used geforce experience to update gpu graphics card. Also, the windows monitoring apps simply tell me that the shutdown was unexpected. There were no prior events that may have led to this. I am going to be replacing my gpu soon, because i need an upgrade anyways, but ive tried just about everything i could and no online help has worked for me. Also, sometimes when i boot my pc, it says overclocking failed despite me never having overclocked my pc, and when i enter bios and make no changes at all, it magically works again. To clarify, when i crash my monitor screen remains frozen and the pc is completely unresponsive, but doesnt turn off. I dont get any BSOD. The lights on the keyboard also turn off. My specs: intel core i7 Nvidea gefore gtx 960 (switching to rtx 2060 when i save enough money) Asus z170-p motherboard evga 750w gold plus psu Literally any help would be appreciated because ive tried almost everything else and i dont have unlimited money to keep buying new parts. thanks.

Hello, I wanted to talk about the new RTX cards, I have ordered 2 cards from scan.co.uk and BOTH have been faulty, the first an RTX 2060 and the second an RTX 2070. This is very frustrating Has anyone had any luck with these new cards, I am beginning to think they are all faulty! This time again I will try to purchase an RTX 2070 but this time from a different supplier. I'm not sure what to do if it doesn't work... Surely they can't all be faulty! What the hell is going on? -Wizard4545

Hi everyone, So I am running 16GB of G.skill TridentZ RGB memory on an MSi B350 Tomahawk motherboard. Everything ran just fine until recently, I had them running in dual channel at 3000Mhz no problem. However around a week ago I noticed in task manager, I was only utilising 8GB, so I tried all of the fixes I could find online and none of it helped. Finally, I swapped the channels and it worked fine. However a few days ago, the issue popped up again, and I tried running the PC with just 1 stick at a time to see if one of them was faulty. It turned out that with 1 of them the computer refused to boot. So I decided that one of them was just faulty and that I'll RMA it however then I tried running each dimm in separate channel (next to each other) and it ran fine and the computer recognized all 16gbs. I ran a few memory tests and none found any issues. My question is, all things considered, is this truly a faulty dimm, and should I RMA it?

I recently got a faulty gtx 780 ti from someone. When I put the gpu into my motherboard and power on my computer the fans will spin and before installing drivers for the card it is detected by device manager and gpu-z. After the driver installation, the computer refuses to boot into windows and the screen is blank for awhile (780 ti), then a bsod (integrated graphics). Error messages will all be related to drivers and/I'd hardware issues. Please help. Thanks.

Hey Guys, Specs: I7 8700k ASUS ROG Maximus X Hero Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 3200mhz Windows 10 Pro Dark Rock Pro 3 if more is needed please tell me. Sry if I´m not writing good or make mistakes but I`m so worried. I was in my BIOS after I installed a new fan to adjust it there. Then I wasn´t thinking straight and changed the Core/Cache Value because from an OC I did ealier today this was the setting is used (255.5 because i was wondering why it reset...). After saving and starting the pc it crashed while in boot (after the Prompt to go into the BIOS) and when it started to load it crashed. After that I could load into Windows 10. There it would freeze very fast and crash many times. Trying to go back to an older Recovery Point was impossible. So after reading on Google I went into Safe Mode to test if everything is alright there. Everything is working fine but I can´t make an image to reinstall Windows while in Safe Mode. Im in here for around an hour now and even write the post on this very PC (Saving all my Data). But I changed the core multi to 3.7 for safety aswell as all else on AUTO settings. Any ideas? (Gonna cut it here for safety purposes)

So i am having issues with my GPU , when i hook it up to my motherboard the pc does not want to run properly , it doesnt even go as far as bios . It will start then restart then try to start again but fail OR start working but never reaching the bios . I started thinking it was my GPU MSI 1070 Aero so i checked it out on my friends pc and it worked for 2 hours under heaven benchmark . Next was checking the Moba ,so i called the shop i got it from and they told me they would check it out for free and if faulty i would get a replacement . I got a call today telling me that the moba is fine and its probably the psu . So i ask you what is the best way i cant test my PSU to see if its the problem , the pc works fine without the gpu with onboard graphics btw , it only started doing this about a months ago it worked fine for over a year . I was going to sent the PSU to the store but its online only so i will have to deal with postage .. GREEK postage and you dont mess with postage for no reason . Thanks for your time MHDEN

I transported my desktop back from university yesterday. All was fine before leaving however when setting up everything at home there is no output from the GPU. The fans are spinning on the card, I've tried reseating it but to no success. Currently the computer will output from the motherboard dvi (suggesting the GPU is broken) At uni I was using a mini display port to DVI cable for my main display, here I only have DVI and HDMI. Could that be the cause? Or has my GPU suddenly died? Thanks

Soo my motherboard Is telling me through beep codes that the Psu if faulty. What can be the problem ? Since my Psu boots my other pc (wich needs more watts) just fine .
