Hello, it's my first post here so I will try to be as specific as possible. The problem: I updated windows and restarted the PC. When it tried to boot It flashes a white screen when it normally shows the BIOS screen, and then it just goes dark. The only light on the BIOS turned on is the Boot with green color. What I have tried: Remove 1 stick of RAM Remove everything connected via USB Remove the drive without the OS Remove all Drives Force a windows auto repair ( 3 wrong startup's) Clear CMOS Remove the BIOS Battery Change display Change HDMI port / cable Change GPU CPU and RAM Use bios flashback to update to 2803 AGESA V2 PI 1.2.0.7 Pc spec's: Motherboard: Asus B550-F Gaming WI-FI BIOS: 2604 AGESA V2 PI 1.2.0.6b CPU: 5600X CPU Cooler Hyper 212 Led Turno Argb RAM: 16 GB DDR4 3600mhz Crucial Ballistix GPU: RTX 3070 GIGABYTE EAGLE OC PSU: EVGA 600B (80 Plus bronce) Storage: 1TB SSD 1TB HDD (Both connected via Sata and Western digital blue) Any help would be great because I don't know what more to do. 20220822_142610.mp4

Hello everyone, About 4 years ago I got myself Dell Inspiron Gaming 7567 following an LTT review. Have been extremely happy with the purchase ever since (especially given decent GPU allowing me to keep playing and working throughout shortages). I have also greatly appreciated how easy it is to work on - I have opened it multiple times, to add RAM, increase and improve the SSD and most recently to swap the battery, given that the original one has degraded to barely lasting over 15 minutes out of the wall (and during the replacement I noticed that the OEM battery got puffed up anyway). However, over the last couple of months (after the battery swap), I have noticed some strange behavior from my laptop. First, it would occasionally hang when powered in and not react to wake ups or short power button prosses (for over 5 minutes, compared to 5-10 seconds from sleep usually), requiring a long one (forced restart) to start booting. Second, it would occasionally throw a blue screen of death when the HDMI cable would be pulled out (which is weird - given HDMI is send-only). While all of that was annoying, it was occurring rarely enough for me to not care, at least until yesterday. Yesterday evening, when the laptop hanged again, I left it alone for a bit longer than usual (10-15) minutes, on battery (close to full). At that point, it threw a BSOD pertaining to power failure (that was a new one) and then proceeded to reboot itself. However, it failed to boot and the BIOS screen popped up declaring that no HDD was found, resulting in a shut-down. Following that shutdown, the computer failed to post. Every time a power button would be pressed, it would light for a couple of seconds then go dark. Plugging to the wall, unplugging and re-plugging the battery, RAM and HDD did not solve the issue. At this point my hypothesis was that a power issue grilled the motherboard, so I proceeded to stripping down the laptop until only the heatsinks remained and wiped the board with isopropyl alcohol while looking for any blown capacitors, transistors or components that would have taken damage and would have needed to be replaced (Alex-overclocking-a-GPU-style). Having found none, I re-assembled everything and was able to get the system to post and then to boot with from-the-wall power. However, I now have a major concern with regards to how long before a similar error occurs and actually grills my motherboard forcing a laptop replacement. What could I do to diagnose the source and address it before it's too late? The BSODs from previous months (in attachment) do not seem to indicate anything suspicious to me and the last night's BSOD wasn't even saved in the dump, so it's not clear where to start for me. If you have any ideas, I would be grateful. Minidump.zip

I have bought a new Motherboard, RAM and a CPU Motherboard: Gigabyte Z690 UD AX RAM: Kingston FURY Beast 2x8 GB, DDR5-5600, CL40-40-40 CPU: i5-12400F From my old Pc I used the PSU, GPU and the storage (2 SSDs, 2 HDDs) PSU: BeQuiet! Pure Power 500 W GPU: Palit RTX 2070 I have put everything together but it didn't post. The Fans started spinning and the CPU and GPU got warm. The diagnostic LEDs for the CPU and RAM were blinking. (The user manual says if one of the light is on there is a problem with the corresponding part) I tried: reseating the RAM trying other RAM slots reseating the CPU plugging the power cables of the CPU out an putting them back in flashing differnet BIOS versions on the board Powering the system on without Ram (the diagnostic LEDs for CPU and RAM were blinking, but faster than with RAM sticks) clearing CMOS by removing the battery After a few times blinking the pc tries to restart. Please comment if you know some more troubleshooting steps or there is missing information. Thank you in advance for your answers.

Hi, hope everyone is doing well. I have just took a step back from my new build, which after struggling to put together, won't power up. Motherboard: B450 Aorus Elite v2 CPU: Ryzen 7 5800x GPU: GTX 970 (waiting for 4060) CPU Cooler: Kraken X63 RAM: CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 Storage: WD Black SN770 2TB PSU: RM650x Case: NZXT H510 Flow Apologies if I've missed something, I'm kinda mentally spent after this. So, flicking the PSU switch makes the board's lighting flash for a split second then nothing. Tried taking out the bottom headers, panel connections barring the USB for the AIO and removed the GPU. Still nothing. I'm posting this as a channel of advice, if you guys know anything about this setup that pcpartpicker's compatibility checker didn't spot then please let me know, I am aware of the compatibility issue regarding the firmware of the board and 5000 series CPUs but I am under the assumption that the system will still post to accept the USB containing the new firmware? Any and all advice is appreciated, if it saves me hours/days of troubleshooting then bonus! Any information I left out by mistake, I would happy provide on request.

Hello everyone, new to posting here and i would appricate anyone help. So a month ago i built a new PC with follwoing spec : MSI B550-A pro Ryzen 5700x Corsair vengance LPX 3200mhz (16gbx2) Corsair rm750x 1TB Crucial P1 NVMe M.2 2280 PCIe 3.0 x4 ASrock phantom gaming RX6800 So everything was working perfectly fine , i got a new PCIe 4.0 ssd and i wanted to instal it . so i took out my GPU so i can seat the new nvme in the PCIe 4.0 slot and bring the old one to the PCIe.3.0 slot. i put everything together and the PC refused to post , and the debug led on the mobo shows vga error i tried reseating gpu , using another PCIe slot , cleaing . nothing seemed to help i borrowed a freind GPU and it did not work in my system (only tired the top PCIe slot) , and my GPU did work in anohter system i ruled its a Mobo issues next day i pick up another mobo (Asus Prime B550-Plus) and the intersting thing here , the GPU DID NOT WORK on the man picie slot but it DID WORK on the secandary one . i tired changing the slot from auto to both 3.0 and 4.0 and nothing seemed to help. any help on how to go about digonising the issues would be highly appricated , im just so stumped and over all panicking. Could it be somehow the CPU ? Thanks in advance

Ok so i built a new a PC yesterday and it's been working fine, up until i decided to overclock my ram that is..... I followed this YouTube video which told me to use dram calculator and all that, but after tweaking everything to the values I got from that my pc won't post.... And now this yellow light of doom is shining brightly inside my pc case.... Any suggestions as to how to fix this...??

Hey evryone, I'm new here in this forum And I have a problem in my last build: In the last week I build a computer by my own by the following spec: Intel Core i5-9600KF scythe mugen 2 rev. b - CPU cooler Gigabyte Z390 Gaming X GTX 1080 advanced 32GB of RAM 750 power supply Samsung SSD - sata After I turned on the computer, it turned on but there was no post from the computer on the screen, and the computer started to shut down and turn on several times. In the error led status its show me that the CPU and DRAM not working, so I start to pull off one by one the stick Ram, but nothing really happen, and I also tried to clear the CMOS and still nothing happen.

As my title mentioned, My memory is stuck at 2333 Mhz and if I try changing it it won't post. It attempts to start, tries again a couple times more then beeps at me and puts me into BIOS. I have tried the auto speed adjustment in the BIOS and it won't budge without being at 2333. Even just going up to 2666 keeps it from posting. I can't figure out what the problem is. I should be able to increase it to at least it's 3200Mhz that it's rated for. I can't even get it to the standard that isn't considered overclocking at 2666 Mhz. I tried a single GSkill Ripjaws V 16 Gb 3600 Mhz I had, just to try anything and got nothing. I even tried running them all together so that 1 channel had the Ripjaws 16Gb stick and the other had the 8Gb+8Gb pair. It started just fine at 2333 Mhz but it wouldn't budge from that speed again. Here's my system stats: AMD Ryzen 7 2700x Asus ROG Croshair VII Hero GSkill Corsair RGB 8Gb+8Gb DDR4 3200 Mhz Seagate Constellation 3 TB HDD WD 300 Gb HDD Radeon RX550 4Gb DDR5 Thermaltake Smart Pro RGB 650W Linux Mint Cinnamon 19.3 Tricia BIOS American Megatrends v: 3004 Date: 12/16.2019 (the latest I could find) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

My build: Ryzen 5 3600 B450 Tomahawk Max 2x8 G.Skill Ripjaws V 3600 250gb Kingston SSD 650w Corsair CX PSU GTX 1060/1080 (Been swapping them to make sure its not a graphics failure, same results) Images: https://imgur.com/gallery/nTuIgUQ I've posted this on reddit and no one (could or did offer help). This is my last resort. Everything is brand new parts. I believe everything is seated in properly. I got my motherboard replaced, I seated and unseated cables, graphics card, CPU, RAM. Reset CMOS, flashed BIOS. I don't know what to do anymore.

I recently just upgraded my PC from an AMD FX-8350 to a R5 3600. I put all my parts in and connected everything to the right places. However, when I started it up, I know usually it would take some time to post and show you if you want to get into bios or not, but I wasn't getting any post display and can't even get into bios. Is there an issue with the cpu or ram possibly? Any help? Specs: AMD R5 3600 Asus ROG Strix B450 (with bios updated), Teamgroup T-force 16gb 3200mhz ram XFX RX 5600xt 1 tb hdd + 240gb ssd EVGA 500w PSU Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

Okay, so I had just gotten the time to put my computer together and I started by taking out my new b350 tomahawk from MSI and putting in my ryzen 5 1400 that I got on combo with it on Newegg that shipped on the 15th five days after the release of bios version 1.3 meaning that they should be compatible,so I put it in then I put my corsair lpx 3000mhz memory in then my rx480 nitro+OC( all of this is done outside the case) and then I tried to post it to make sure everything was in good shape( I had everything plugged in at this point) when I used my screwdriver to short the power pins the LEDs came on on the GPU and board and all the fans come on also the CPU led comes on for about 5 seconds then turns off then after about 10 seconds the GPU light comes on and the boot light come on( the boot light coming on is to be expected) the GPU light means that not igraphics were detected and that I need to install a GPU which I had and the VGA light said was off and connected there were no beeps after that I pulled the card out and tried to boot again to make sure the speaker was not broken or something there was a long beep and two short meaning i needed to put in a graphics card I promptly did and tried post again to no avail I am going to go buy a DVI-d cable to see if that is the problem if not I will take it into a micro center at some point and see if they can update the bios besides that I was wondering if any of you had any ideas on how to fix this because I am not sure on any other courses of action

Hi guys, really need some help here.... I am building a new rig. Components are: i7 7700k Asus z270f Strix motherboard 16GB 3000mhz Trident Z RGB Ram Corsair RM750x PSU Current issue: I've hooked everything up. Currently sitting on mobo box, testing everything before installing into case. Jumped on switch pins on the motherboard and nothing. RGB lights on mobo working. Power light on mobo working. So I know it is getting power. But it will not boot. Then, several minutes later the ram will light up and the cpu fan will start up and it looks like it's powering up, but there is no video output. The other thing that's making me think it isn't booting properly is that there are leds on the motherboard that are meant to light up through the boot process to represent error codes etc but they do nothing. The sticker above the ram ends in 505. Is that the bios revision? After some googling there was an old unresolved forum post that said try updating the bios because 505 doesn't support the 7700k - which blew my mind if that's true. Any ideas are welcome. My tech knowledge is fairly average so I'll try to answer any questions you guys have

Just after updating my computer about 5 mins ago i started up my computer and was left with an error saying: windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. to fix the problem: 1. insert your windows installation disc and restart the computer 2 choose your language and then click next 3 click repair your computer File: \boot\BCD status0xc000000f info: the boot configuration data for your pc is missing or contains errors please help it is currently attempting repairs but has been like that for about 10 minutes

So, I have system that is rarely getting post. Here's the specs: MOBO: Asus M5A97 (Note: It's an AM3+ board, while the Athlon is AM3, but compatibility should be there.) CPU: Athlon II X4 640 Ram: Adata 2GB DIMM 1333MHz (Also tried some HyperX 4GB DIMMs but no difference.) GPU: I tried a GTX 1070, an RX 480 and an HD 7850, but they had zero difference PSU: Corsair VS650 (Also tried another PSU, no effect and them both run off of a UPS) So I built this system a few days ago and it posted fine. I installed Windows 7 on it and used it for a good 5 hours to install drivers and play around with it. Then after that day it has had problems booting. I updated the BIOS, tried other graphics cards. clearing CMOS now for around 40 times, nothing is helping, but around 10% of the time, it does boot and after boot it works perfectly. It once gave out a small puff of some smoke, I thought that was a last dying breath, but I've gotten it to boot 2 times after that. If I get through post and in to Windows, the system works perfectly. When the boot fails it just doesn't output anything, but fans keep spinning and nothing is else happening. Help me I'm losing my mind here.

Here is a link to my entire setup: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Batman808401/saved/JxTK8d All parts are from my old setup which is nearly 6 months old except for the motherboard, CPU, and RAM Here's the problem: As of right now, I'm am using this computer to make this post, however, I am afraid to turn it off. Whenever I turn off my PC, it'll only take minutes of powering off and on and mashing the reset button to get it up and running again. Once it starts, everything seems and feels normal. The weird thing is that I can put my PC to sleep and turn it on again no problem. How I get it working and observations: The first time I power on my PC, it is most likely to fail on successfully booting up so I've sequentially listed how I get my PC up and running like normal starting on unsuccessful boot: FIRST STEP - ON UNSUCCESSFUL BOOT: Case fans and LEDs work, Wraith Spire fan and AMD LED ONLY (not the ring) work, GPU LED and fans work, onboard CPU debugging LED lights up, onboard RAM detection LEDs are on, onboard GPU detection LED is not on, and finally: all other onboard LEDs are off and no display on monitor. SECOND STEP - HALF SUCCESSFUL BOOT: After a period of powering my PC on and off, the previous conditions still apply including no display to the monitor, however, onboard aesthetic LEDs turn on including the Wraith Spire cooler ring LED. This is the point where I start pressing the reset button on my case in 10-second intervals. Also, note that the onboard CPU debug LED is still on at this point. SUCCESSFUL BOOT: Finally, the onboard CPU debug LED turns off and onboard GPU detection LED turns on and monitor detects the source. Everything appears to be working as it should such as LEDs, hardware, etc. Once I'm done using my PC, I power it off like it should be only for me to come back needing to use it again and having to repeat this process for an average of 10 minutes. My conclusion/possible issues: The motherboard is highly unstable as far as detecting the CPU and GPU and not completely powering on, on initial startup. I thought it could be anything else such as the power, CPU, or GPU but is highly unlikely since they are crucial to keep the PC functioning properly and so far, I have not had any crashes or other hardware issues. I can enter sleep mode and power back on successfully. I'm really considering declaring this motherboard DOA and sending it back for a new one but that is the last thing I want to do. What I've tried: Updating BIOS to the latest version: 7A32v15 (see https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/X370-GAMING-PRO-CARBON.html#down-bios in Download > BIOS section) Checking for loose cables such as power, case, and fan headers Checking if all parts are secured and connected physically and from the BIOS I haven't tried the reset CMOS button because it is a brand new motherboard and I haven't changed any major settings PLEASE REPLY IF: YOU'RE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES WITH NEWER MOTHERBOARDS WITH AM4 CHIPSETS; ESPECiALLY IF YOU HAVE THE SAME MOTHERBOARD; HAVE SOLUTIONS/TROUBLESHOOTING SUGGESTIONS; ANY OTHER QUESTIONS REGARDING MY SITUATION; IF I MUST MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THIS POST IN FAVOR OF PROFFETIONAL REVIEW AND DOCUMENTATION;

So today I just revived my corsair h60 aio, and I just installed it. Now my computer doesn't turn on my monitor screen, or show any signs of life except for the fans and hard drive spinning up. Please help

Hi, I'm currently building a PC right now and i have the RAM (16GB 2x8 sticks DDR4), CPU (Intel core i7 6700k), PSU (EVGA 750W) installed and i'm trying to see if my system will post to test the ram to make sure it's reliable and my system isn't sending a signal to my monitor. Motherboard is turning on perfectly fine CPU fan is spinning and i have the main power cable plugged into the motherboard (the long one) but there is no signal going to my monitor from the on board graphics. The system is not in the case yet the SSD and Graphics card is coming in tomorrow. trying to make sure everything works before i put it into my case. This is my link to everything i bought for my pc http://a.co/6p33bXc

Hey i made a post earlier about my new PC i'm trying to test before i put it in the case i'm trying to see if it post and test the RAM and the on board graphics is not sending a signal to my monitor all that's in currently is the CPU (Intel core/ i7 6700K) the RAM (2x8 16Gb DDR4) and the PSU (750W). The graphics card (1070) and SSD will be in between Wednesday-Thursday i'm trying to get my system to post to make sure the RAM is reliable. when i turn it on the CPU fan spins and the board lights light up but no beeping occurs and there's no signal is being outputted to my monitor. Is it possible that it will work when i get my graphics card and put it in? Here's the link to everything I purchased for my PC http://a.co/6p33bXc Please Help! If i don't respond tweet me @bulldogs11832

I was given a functional 4gb stick of ram. I decided to put it in my PC, because it was the same speed as the ram I already have. My pc wouldn't post. No BIOS, nada. So i removed the ram stick. And try turning it on again. Now it wont post even as it was before. What in the world happened? I don't own any replacement hardware so I can't test known good parts. I even tried shorting the CMOS jumper. I've run out of things to try here. Specs: MSI 970 gaming mobo, GTX 1060 3gb, corsair cx650m PSU, 16 gb ddr3 evga superclocked ram.

Pc flashes lights and fans turn on briefly when power button is pressed. Using CPU, PSU, and ram from previous build so I know they are not the issue. Already returned and received a new motherboard but same issue as before. Build: Intel i5 7600 EVGA 650w Gold Zotac GTX 2070 16gb DDR4

Broken 1070 (No we can't) Last year i partially lost my interest for gaming, and wanted to focus on photography, this lead to me selling my Aorus 1070. Sadly i had to take it back due to it not working on the buyers pc, he felt bad for me so he gave me a 750ti (yAy1!1). Anyways, i checked the card, the only "Damage" it had was a small scratch right under the sli fingers. The card did power up, and the fans spun, but the card wasn't recognised in the device manager or BIOS. I didn't feel like doing something sensible so i bought a 1070ti FE because im an Nvidia shill. NOW, THE IMPORTANTE STUFFE. I can probably post pics showing the scratches, but the im mostly looking for tips for what i could do to diagnose the card. Personally i havent found anything close to my problem, and i hope the card isnt broken.

I have an Asus GL752V laptop with an i7 6700HQ, a GTX 960M GPU, 16 GB of RAM, and a 1 TB HDD. I recently built my own computer, so I was planning to install and SSD and give this laptop to someone else. The SSD is a 500 GB M.2 SATA WD Blue. I turned off the laptop and unplugged it to remove the HDD and install the SSD, as I was planning to do a clean install of windows 10. After installing the SSD and powering the system back on, the laptop does not post. The screen seems to be off, despite multiple power LEDs turning on when I hit the power button. I removed the SSD and tried to boot the computer with only the original hard drive, but there was no change. I cleared the CMOS, but there was still no change. I attempted to post with only one RAM stick installed and the drives removed, and the computer just power cycled (it did this for both SODIMM modules). Is there anyone who knows how to resolve this problem, or did I just brick a laptop by installing an SSD?

Hello all, This is my last resort. I am incredibly stumped. I have an HP laptop that will not display a video. Here's the situation. The laptop backlight shows up but no HP logo. So no post right? Screen is black besides the backlight. I tried new ram. Tried different ram slots. Tried holding the power button down with the battery detached to drain the system. I tried plugging in an external display to see if the video on the motherboard was good. That said "no signal." Tried all the FN buttons to see if one would switch to the external. No luck. I finally said ok, the video on the motherboard is bad. Lets replace the motherboard. Bought one on newegg that said it was fully working. When it arrived everything looked good. Plugged it all in.... No display. Same thing as before. The backlight is on but no display and no video out. HDD passed all tested and is ok but if the HP logo doesn't show that means the motherboard is having issues cause it's not posting. I am at a loss for what the issue could be. Please help EDIT: This is the model HP Notebook 15-F337WM

Hi, I bought a Supermicro C7Z97-M a while ago and it doesn’t POST. It gives out 6 Beeps (AMIBios) and after a while another 4 followed shortly by a higher pitched 5th beep. Video of this Do you have any idea why this is happening? I have tried different CPUs, RAM, PSUs and Monitors+Cables

I was playing a game of Overwatch when suddenly my PC just stopped displaying, no image no sound no nothing, but my fans, GPU and CPU cooler were still running as if it were turned on. So I do what a normal person would do and just turned it off (via the power button). Same thing happens, keyboard lights up, CPU cooler, fans and GPU start all spinning, but no display, I obviously checked if my monitor wasn't connected, but it was, and the audio turned off when it shut off too so that wasnt the problem. My specs are: Ryzen 7 2700X installed on an Asus TUF B450-Plus Gaming, GTX 1050 TI double fan from MSI, 8gb of 2400mhz ballistix sport, 240 GB Kingston SSD, 1TB WD Blue. Everything is properly plugged in, the RAM is inserted all the way and I can't think of what could be happening, there's some rain but no thunder so nothing could have been shocked, plus the PSU would be dead and not letting the PC light up if that was the case TL;DR: PC turns on and everything starts working, but no display (including Mobo logo/bios bootup) or sound coming
