Hi everyone, I have some problem with my fiance computer. We built it this year, but things are not working perfectly. The problem is that at random times, the screen shuts off for a few seconds (1 to 3 seconds) and goes back one again. While it's off you can still see the motherboard lights on, but everything stops for that brief moment. In the past we had a problem with the EVGA PSU, which died, we have a new Cooler Master PSU and it's less frequent than before but it is still happening randomly, so any idea of how to log what's wrong will be welcomed.

Hey guys, I'm having some issues with the Razer Blade (2016, GTX 1060) I bought a few days ago. The laptop seems to randomly go into hibernation every half an hour to an hour. I can't really figure out when it does it, but it isn't heat related because it''s running around 45 degrees C, and it isn't battery related because it happens when the battery is pretty much fully charged. This problem also occurs when I'm doing anything, so it isn't happening just when a game is running. I've disabled the power button in settings after reading that it could be that, but that hasn't seemed to help. I can pick up right where it left off after I turn the computer back on, so I know that it isn't sleeping or shutting down. Is there some Windows setting I should change? Thanks! UPDATE: I've taken a look at event viewer and these two errors occured at the time of hibernation. Error 1: "The system is entering sleep. Sleep reason: Battery." I'm not sure how this is possible, the battery was at 60% when this happened. Could it be some sort of voltage reading error? Error 2: "The application specific permissions settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID" I have no idea, I attached the error below.

Hey there! I'm currently facing a major problem which is hindering my work on my PC. Basically whenever I boot up my system and run it over a time of 15-30 minutes, it will shut down randomly. It usually shuts down faster whenever I'm playing any games; however, recently whenever I boot up my system it will shut down immediately. It seems to be getting worse. Please let me know if you have any tips/solutions to these problems.

So, I've been watching LTT for a few years now. I have a server question, this place seems to be the best place to ask. I want to get a server, I'm looking at a Dell R710. My goals for this server are to run a NAS, a personal (modded) minecraft server, and maybe if I have room run a virtualization server (I've always wanted to), and a torrent server. I was just wondering if a R710 with two E5507 CPUS and 48 GB of DDR3, would be good. I may add some big HDD's for storage, and maybe an SSD or two for some fast storage for Minecraft and Torrents. Would this be good, is it overkill, is it not enough? Server hardware is just out of my realm of knowledge at the moment. I appreciate any advice I can get, thank you.

Hi everyone, I'm having an issue with my internet connection and I was hoping someone on the forums is able to help me out. My internet used to be complete garbage (under 1Mbit up and down, 100 ping was normal and continuous random spikes to 1000+) so I switched ISPs, got a new modem and everything regarding the speeds seems fine now. But unfortunately another problem arose, which is these random disconnects that I'm having. I'm just playing a game or doing some work on my PC and my entire connection just disappears (wired and wireless). My PC gives the yellow warning sign. I unplug the power from my router, wait for ~20 sec and plug it back in, and everything seems to work fine again. Until it happens again, sometimes up to a couple of hours later. My setup regarding ethernet is as follows: Downstairs is the ISPs modem, which is wired directly to my router upstairs, which is connected to my desktop PC through ethernet cable as well. My own router is an Asus RT-N16, which I'm using as a switch and as a wifi source (the modem downstairs provides wifi too, but the signal isn't strong enough to reach all the way upstairs). I used the exact same setup at my old place, where it worked perfectly. The only differences were the ISP and the modem they provided, so maybe that's the issue here? The modem I have now is more advanced, so maybe some extra functions are causing problems. I tried plugging my laptop directly into the modem at the moment of a disconnect, which does give me a connection, so the modem seems fine. However, on the day I'm typing this, another disconnect occurred and I plugged the cable directly into my desktop, which still said there was no connection, so maybe it is the modem or the ISP after all. I'm a student living with 4 other students in the same house, so I'd like to avoid messing with the modem too much if it influences their connections as well. Does anyone have any suggestion on what to do here? Thank you in advance.

Hello everyone, Sorry for the long story. TLDR: PC instantly turns off without a notice or whatsoever whilst the power isn't cut off. First of all I want to say, I this topic is in the wrong forum category I'm sorry, but I'm not sure where else to put it. What happened twice now is that my pc shutdown unexpectingly, not really shutting down actually, just going black and... nothing. The weird part is that the power brick that it's connected to stays on, and the light that's connected to the same power brick stays on aswell. So my only guess is the hardware. In the windows event viewer all it said was: "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly." The previous time this happened I made sure the chord that connects to the power supply was tight in there and wasn't loose or anything. Now that it happened again, I'm clueless of what it is, I have been using this setup for 8 months or so without this every happening since a few days ago. It doesn't happen on startup or under heavy load aswell. Both times it happened after using my pc for several hours after closing my game. Previous time it was GTA 5, and this time League of Legends. Just 20 seconds after shutting down the game both times, but I'm not sure if this has to do with anything or was just a coincidence. One thing I could imagine is the motherboard failing, as I got it broken. Everytime I startup my pc it's a black screen, until I hit the reboot button under the power button a second later and then it boots up. This was becoming a habit and always worked aswell for all those months, but it could be that the motherboard is now really failing. All I really want the know is what could be the problem? And can I find in my event viewer or somewhere else a confirmation of my claims? Or any other software to test on system parts failing? Edit: Well whilst trying to get my pc specs through speccy for this article, my whole pc froze for about 3 minutes when I was detecting my CPU, even my mouse froze and Ctrl+Alt+delete didnt work. Speccy got terminated after 3 min and it started working again, so I just copied the specs from another post I had. But this might confirm my thoughts about the cpu/motherboard failing. Maybe worth mentioning: Whilst this happened I am only running: Chrome, Steam, Discord and Spotify both times.

What is this? It’s at my fitness center. Is it a motion detector or an awesome wifi antenna? There’s one on both ends of this room.

Hello. I build my new pc just a couple of months back. It has b450 Tomahawk, Ryzen 5 1600, Radeon rx570, 8 GB x 2 Corsair 3000 Mhz, 500 GB Crucial M.2 SSD. I put it all together in Corsair spec 05 box and powered it with corsair cx450 power supply. It was working better than expected but all of a sudden it started shutting down in the middle of a session. What I mean by shutting down is my screen randomly freezes to a solid color and then starts showing "no signal" message. I then have to force restart it from the power button. Sometimes it works fine for long hours, sometimes this happens in short intervals of time. I dont do much resource heavy work. CPU and GPU mainly remains below 10 percent mark. Would love to get some insight on the issue as I have no idea whats going wrong in my brand new pc. Thankyou very much for your time.

Alright so I bought an entire new pc's worth of parts a few days ago. I put it all together and it worked, one small problem. It keeps randomly restarting itself. By randomly I really do mean random. It only happens when its under load, mostly when I play games. But not all the time. I can sometimes play for a few hours before it restarts, or a few minutes depending on how the pc feels I guess. I have tried reseating everything. Thought it might be a cpu temp issue, so I re applied thermal paste, and also went out and bought a liquid cooler. It's def not a temp problem unless it's the gpu overheating. I dl'ed afterburner to monitor temps while gaming and the gpu does hit around 78-80 degrees. Which is apparently average / kinda high. Any idea's on what else it could be? I've ran memtest, The ram is good. I've ran stress tests on every part of the pc and each individually passed each test. The parts are less then a week old. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all who reads this. I have a bit of an od question which I know most people would say “don’t waste your time trying” but I want to try tho and I got the time and money. I am wondering is it possible to modify/configure an OLD Poweredge 1900 Dell server with an Intel Workstation board S5000XVNSASR to mine bitcoin,ethereum esc...Mostly want to do GPU mining have done some research and saw that CPU mining no worth it. Thought here at LTT might be the best place to ask a question like this.... Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

To anyone who'll read this topic, Recently, my laptop started to shut down randomly, at anytime and the most dramatic : on any software, even on Microsoft Word. I downloaded CoreTemp to check if my CPU was burning or something else, because my laptop shut down in games (which were very performance consuming). But earlier this morning (I'm in France), my computer just shut down while I was editing text on Word. Now I panic... Did anyone already have this issue in the past ? Did they solve it ? If yes, please tell me how. Thanks to whoever read my topic, I appreciate any sort of help. My laptop configuration can be seen on my profile.

Hey guys, I am not sure how to get this code done. The goal is to type in 10 numbers and get a random number out of those as an output. import javax.swing.*; import java.util.*; public class Aufgabe51 { public static void main(String[] args) { int[] arrayNumber; int number, randomNumber; Scanner input; Random random; arrayNumber = new int[number]; input = new Scanner(System.in); random = new Random(); System.out.println ("Type in 10 numbers."); for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { System.out.println ("Type in one number."); arrayNumber[i] = input.nextInt(); } randomNumber = random.nextInt(arrayNumber.length); arrayNumber[randomNumber]; System.out.println ("The random number is: " + (arrayNumber[randomNumber])); System.exit(0); } }

Hey guys, just curious why after charging all weekend, a headset might seemingly randomly beep, whats up with that?

I have a short video (mp4 file) I would like to set it as my screensaver How do I do it? Here is the link for the video if that helps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzsLOvLZeZc ??????????????????? Ps: I don't want to pay for any software

Around about Monday last week, my computer abruptly began having an issue in which it would suddenly just crash and restart--no freezing, no blue screens, the monitor would simply abruptly go dark, linger on that screen for a second or two, and then I'd see the BIOS and Windows logos appear and my PC would start as normal, with all programs closed. At the time I had been using Windows 8.1. I didn't pay much mind to the issue at the time because I had been planning to completely wipe my PC, resetting it to factory default, and install Windows 10. However, even after doing so, the issue has persisted, apparently with no clear pattern or reason. I had days like yesterday, where it could only reset like this once or twice the entire day, and then days like today where it has happened around, if not more, than ten different times. I tried looking elsewhere for solutions, and nothing I found worked. Updating my drivers has done nothing, I checked my ram for errors, I played with all the power options, my PC is not overheating, I disabled automatic restart, etc.. When I checked Event Viewer, I thought I found the solution, as every abrupt reset appeared to be preceded by "Connected User Experiences and Telemetry Service" crashing in some way, which I then disabled after being assured that disabling, but not deleting, it would cause no ill effects. And, of course, this has done nothing. Now, when I experience a reset, this error appears in my log: "The description for Event ID 56 from source Application Popup cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer. If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event. The following information was included with the event: ACPI 5The message resource is present but the message was not found in the message table." I spoke to a friend about the issue, who initially figured it to be a hardware issue, either with my motherboard, CPU, or PSU. (My CPU being an Intel Core 15-6600K and my motherboard being a Gigabyte G1.Sniper Z170-CF, if its at all helpful or relevant). When I mentioned Event ID 56, he suggested I come here for a more informed opinion. Edit: I also found Kernel-Power Event ID: 41 ("The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.") in the event viewer as well, if that says anything. And regarding that, I have set the "Turn off Hard Disk" setting to "Never", though I do not believe that to have been the cause, given the occasional frequency of these resets. At this point, I am unsure if I should seek to risk updating my BIOS or if I need to look into replacing hardware. Any help that could be provided would be immensely appreciated, thank you in advance.

Has anyone tried Linus's concrete cooling solution yet?

What ever happened to the MSI Dragon statue they managed to swindle away from MSI? I saw a dedicated video about it, it showed up a few times in the background, then it's just...gone. I miss him I really do. And yes I understand that it's branded and they can't really show it a lot but I still feel like they should bring him back for something or other.

Hey Guys, I've got this problem that I lose my internet connection sometimes. It's not a big deal, but after my connection is back my computer shuts down for no reason. I don't know why. If you know why or if you have any solution for this, please write a comment down below. Regards Toasty

Hi everyone, Recently my pc has this random tendency to not be able to boot for no reason whatsoever. On one day I would be able to turn it on with no issues whatsoever and on another it would completely not respond at all. If anyone has any insight on what could be the issue please help give a suggestion as I've tried many things so far. Things I have tried. 1. Clear cmos 2. Paper clip 3. Removing individual parts 4. Bios updates 5. Powering off and on 6. Reseated the whole pc 7. Changed the cmos battery Cpu parts Cpu: Ryzen 2600x Mobo: gigabyte aurus b450m Gpu: gigabyte 1070ti windforce Psu: SEASONIC FOCUS PLUS GOLD 750w Thank you for reading this and I hope someone will be able to give some advice

so yesterday i had 2 scenarios of freezes but thaught nothing of it. Today im having them frequently when im playing cs:go and it happends sometimes outside Game. i have been monitoring my Gpu and Cpu activity after said freezes im running a ryzen 5 2400g and a Rtx 2070 i noticed some spikes on my gpu to 100% on the logs in task manager after the freezes, but that might also come from the alt tab im just not certain what it could be, as i am using a evo 970 and a generic 500gig ssd as secondary storeage. any suggestions or explanations, or help with the invastigations would be apretiated. :)

Hi all, I'm having a random shut down issue where if i start a game (monster hunter world for example) i'll get between 5 minutes and an hour's play time, and then the computer will instantly shut off, leaving only the rgb lights on the motherboard on. if i try to power on again it won't do so unless i switch the PSU off and on again near the external plug. 1) I discovered this issue when i was playing monster hunter world and it has repeated on project cars, so i figure it's hardware, not game related. 2)i have run msi kombustor and done stress tests, even in 4k, to which there are no issues. CPU temp never went above 55c, and GPU temp never rose above 65. however the top side of the gpu near the mobo was hot to the touch. i've monitored cpu and gpu temperatures using msi afterburner whilst playing the games i mentioned, and again, nothing really abnormal. CPU around 50-60 and GPU never above 70. 3) So i've sort of narrowed it down to the PSU(?) as this seems like the most likely culprit as everything else seems fine to me. i've had it since 2012 and now that i've put a bunch of new bits and a different load on it, it's probably sh*t itself. right? i'm looking at ordering this as it's replacement (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CP-9020102-UK-CX550M-Bronze-Certified/dp/B01C3FFATU/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=psu%2Bmodular&qid=1579128282&sr=8-6&th=1) if this is the case. Specs are as follows: CPU: AMD ryzen 5 3600x (brand new) GPU: Nvidia GTX1070 MOBO: Asus rog strix b450 (brand new) PSU: Aerocool templarius 850w cpu cooler: coolermaster masterliquid 120 cpu cooler (brand new) RAM: 2x8gb corsair ddr4 RGB (brand new) Storage: 2x seagate hdd (1xbrand new), samsung evo ssd (brand new), kingston ssd any help with this problem at all would be really appreciated. such a pain now that i've upgraded that i can't play any good games! Thanks in advance- SuperNova123

Still having issues. My pc either crashes to a black screen or randomly restarts. Ive now reverted to 1803 & 1809 both still restarting. Ive adjusted pagefiles. passes gpu stress and memtest Today I thought the pagefile fixed it, was running good for a day + then while playing Control it crashes to a black screen, then it randomly restarts 2-3 times, cant remember now. Before one of the restarts my background disappeared, windows explorer.exe crashed, I run it again, and then a minute or so after it restarts. PS+ while it was crashing windows explorer.exe I think I could hear one of my HDD clicking in an abnormal way, instead of the normal "chewing" it was more of a clock's tick... tick... tick...

Hey. When i'm playing games. (Destiny 2 specially) a random game controll key (ASDW, Space, Alt, CTRL,esc etc.) is being pressed and locked without me pressing it. When i press that key again, it releases. This happens at random times, very often. I've tried switching keyboard, turned of usb power saving and sleep. This is freaking wierd, so i'm wondering if it could be a virus, or a Windows fault of some sort. I'm very close to reinstalling windows at this moment, but if any of you guys have any tips, i'm all ears!

Heyho! I've been having a very annoying issue since the last ~3 Weeks. My PC turns itself on after its shut down. Fully shut down, no sleep mode or anything like that. The time interval is seemingly random. Sometimes it starts up after just seconds, sometimes it waits up to 5 minutes. Sometimes it doesn't do it (Rarely, tho). Mostly If I shut it down and it starts back up, I shut it down again and it starts back up. I think my record was 7 restarts before I lost my mind and shut it down on the power supply (After it was shut down, of course) I'm using Windows 10. Interesting fact: My friend (Using windows 10 as well) has the same thing happening, although not nearly as often as me. All kinds of "Wake by ..." are disabled in my bios. Any Idea? What could there be even active after a PC is shut down? Is part of the operating system still active? Or is it only the bios? If I could at least narrow down where it comes from that would help already...

Hi you know how on LTT videos sometimes the i card says, "Discuss with Adults"? Yeah well how do you know I'm not a 8 year old? Thanks
