So like most of us we are running old rigs due to this gpu fiasco.... Anyways I upgraded my water cooling to Nzxt z73 and added WD_Black 1TB SN750 NVMe Internal Gaming SSD Solid State Drive with Heatsink. I also did a clean install of windows 10 pro and updated my bios. My system: Motherboard:: Asus x99 Memory:: CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 32GB (8x4GB) DDR4 DRAM 2400MHz Memory Kit - Black GPU:: Nvidia GTX 980 4GB SLI x2 CPU:: Intel i7-5830k Six Core 3.30Ghz LGA2011-V3 So now my system when turned on first time will look like it boots... Gets stuck. Then I do quick reboot and then it boots up to windows. It works fine, however it's annoying to do the reboot. Any thoughts on what could have gone wrong? Please help end this ring of hell. -
I built my PC back in April with fairly good specs, Ryzen 7 3700x, 1660 Super, 16GB of ram, etc. I had no problems with the system before, everything was smooth and snappy. The OS loaded maybe 10 seconds after booting up, I had had no problems whatsoever until 2 days ago. 2 days ago I turn on my PC and I notice something odd, the taskbar at the bottom had loaded in but no apps were visible. I found this strange, but I had known from my previous experience with a potato all-in-one that the taskbar was always the last to load in. Writing this off, I clicked on the app I wanted to use (Valorant) on my desktop, and the game loaded normally. Now here, is where the bugs start the taskbar remained on screen once I was in Valorant, still without the apps. When I plugged in my headset, audio continued to come out of my studio monitors, even though I had set the output to my headset. And, when I tried to adjust the volume via the media wheel on my Razer BlackWidow V3, it would not work. I also noticed when looking back on the event that the startup apps did not load in. With this, I shut down my computer, went downstairs for a glass of water, and turned it back on. The PC functioned fine on the next boot-up, the taskbar popped right back in, everything was fine until I booted it up today and found the same issues mentioned above. At this point, I know that this is not just a one-time glitch in the system but a true startup error. Somethings to mention, the RAM, M.2 SSD, MOBO, and PSU are all from a prebuilt. Maybe, the RAM is bad, though I checked the RAM and it is 3200 speed. Anyways I was hoping someone might have some advice or experience with this. Thanks :)

I just travelled with my desktop in a suitcase for a couple hours in car then by foot. I booted up Windows 10 normally the first time. The second time it said something about disk repair, which lasted a couple of minutes. What does this mean? Is my PC damaged?

I have just checked task manager and the CPU usage is through the roof (80-100%) while watching YouTube videos. The ram usage is also quite high(70%). I have also noticed in the past that the HDD is at 100% at start up and I am averaging about 40 secs boot up time according to 360 security. Suggestions please.

80% of the time, I have no issues with my computer but more and more recently it seems to be struggling and as a PC novice, I'm not 100% on what could be causing that. I'm not sure if the problems I'm experiencing are connected or not but when my PC starts up and I go to type in my password, it seems to take a while to respond, or is very slow in starting up, I'm not sure if this could be in need of more RAM or another SSD. The other issue I have and when this usually happens I haven't had my eye on it, is it seems to turn itself off or crashes and then continues to restart (this is when I notice this has happened, as I have a small fan within my motherboard that makes a lot of noise when starting up), sometimes it has to do this a couple of times before it comes back online. I don't think we're having power cuts, because it wouldn't be able to turn itself back on, so I don't know if this is related to the other issue or not. I've had this computer for over a year, it's off the floor away from dust, nothing is blocking the fans unless they have a fine layer of some dust on them and I haven't changed my coolant, which I know I probably should but not sure on how to go about it. My ex overclocked my PC to like 30% and I have no idea about that to even want to attempt to mess about with that, in case that is the issue. He had installed programs on it so I could keep an eye on temperatures and that but I accidentally removed them and can't remember the name of the program to reinstall it. All parts were bought new and are only a couple years old and apart from these issues, it works a dream when gaming, streaming or working with multiple design programs at once. Any advice is welcomed!

I started my computer up today and after it got to the login screen the display cut out and my case fans all throttled up to over twice as fast as usual. I restarted my computer to no avail. I entered the BIOS to see if it was just a timing thing and I let it sit there for 10 minutes monitoring thr fan speeds and component temps. Nothing happened so I exited the BIOS and got to the windows log in screen. Aaaaand wouldn't you know it, display cuts out and fans rev up. What can I do?

So, my computer works and everything but it's doing something strange since I had to reinstall windows. I can't really describe it well enough to find a solution on google so I just took a video and put it on youtube. Here it is: (the starting windows screen doesn't appear anymore. There's that spinning wheel over a stuck bios screen.) Has anyone encountered this? My best guess is that it has something to do with the fact that I started from scratch with windows 10 this time after a format instead of updating from windows 7. This meant I couldn't use the driver disc for my motherboard so I had to download them online. Maybe something is missing? I did notice that the VGA driver wouldn't install but I assume that's because my graphics card automatically disables it. I might try pulling the graphics card out, trying to install or update the integrated graphics card driver, and then just putting my card back in.. Before bothering with that though, I thought I run this past the forum. MSI z97 pc mate i7 4790k gtx 1080 asus strix oc edition

Hello Linus Techtiptitians, I am having the following problem and cannot seem to fins a solution. When I boot up my PC it posts correctly and then the Windows logo apears, beneath wich there should be these spinning balls indicating, that the system is loading. This doesnt happen sadly. These dots dont appear and the system does not load. When I restart the PC it works without a problem and I can use the PC without any problems. Then at night I turn the PC off and on the next day it doesnt work again on the first boot up .... I am really confused by this and I hope someone here can help me Greetings from Germany.

when i start my PC, 3 programs will open. steam, discord and spotify. i have three monitors and i always drag these tabs in a way where discord takes up half the screen on the left, spotify will take the bottom right of the left monitor and steam will on the far right monitor takes up half of the screen. when i open discord it opens to the left of my screen where i want it but there is always a little gap at the bottom, spotify opens on my left monitor and steam always opens exactly where i want it. how do i get it so all of these programs always open exactly where i want them on start up? what i mean is they open to the dragged position that i want, without me having to move them all manually?

Hi. My PC is stuck at starting windows screen. I can't even boot up in safe mode. I'm running Windows 7. When I try to run safe mode, it gets stuck at (see pic attached). PC has been freezing up/ lagging quite frequently lately and I suspect that my RAM stick is the problem. My HDD is brand new btw. I've ran into 'required data not placed into memory error' before. Can bad memory stick cause PC not be able to start up? Hope someone can help me out. Thank you.

Hey guys, yesterday when I tried to turn on my pc, it crashed into the automatic repair. None of the fixing and repairing options worked. And when I tried startup repair, it didn’t work either and showed the error you see in the picture. But today the strange thing happened, while I was trying to boot up, that orange page came up and after some seconds the whole pc turned off! I had windows 10 pro with newest update and the last time it updated was at least 3 days ago. 6FA4DD30-ACAB-4526-A986-258A8CA1077B.mov

So i just had a random thought and is kind of bugging me. I know you have to press a certain key to enter the bios screen when you first boot it up (and which key btw do you press) and im thinking of getting a 60% percent keyboard so is it fine or do i need to start with a full keyboard?
-
So my laptop was working fine the other night, and then i shut it down. But this morning, when i opened my laptop again my screen was black, yet the lights were flashing from the keyboard. So i tried hard booting to no avail, and when i plugged in an external screen everything was fine (except for my laptop screen). Thats my situation. Please help me.

Yesterday my PC was working fine, I decided it was time to go to bed so I shut it down and turned the PSU switch off. Today I pressed the power button on my case and didn't do anything, no beeps, no fans spinning, nothing. I opened the case and the SB_PWR LED was on as well as the ethernet lights. I turned the switch off and on of the PSU, pressed the power button and nothing. I start getting worried. Maybe the power button on my case is faulty, so I try to start jump it with a flat screwdriver to no avail. PC is not making any noises and no LEDs but the SB_PWR are on. So i proceed to tedt bench it. I disconnect everything but the CPU, PSU and single RAM slot. Nothing. I don't know what to do now or how in the world is this not starting up. I have an ASUS H87-M PLUS mobo with an i5-4440 an EVGA 500W 80+ and a Kingston HyperX FURY DDR3 8GB RAM. I think my motherboard is dead, but curious as the SB_PWR LED is still on. Perhaps it has nothing to do with it and need to buy a replacement. I'm hoping maybe I'm just dumb and am missing something obvious. Can someone help? Thank you.

When I turn on my Flashforge dreamer it gets stuck on the boot screen for several minutes as shown in the attached picture before booting up fully. I've tried booting with and without an SD card. I have not updated the firmware on the printer and have not had the issue previously. Does anybody have any ideas about what is wrong/how I can fix this? Thanks

Hi guys! I'm having a weird issue with my pc that has been going on for months. It's not serious, just a little annoying. When I shut down the PC, it sometimes will just restart after 3-4 seconds and go to the login screen. as if I've pressed restart rather than shut down. I've tried searching online and found nothing about this. I don't think I've anything waking the pc up on lan, I don't have any timed starts. I have Nod32 antivirus up to date and ran scans so the pc is clean. I've checked that the small start/restart/hdd/etc pins are connected correctly. Funny thing is, it doesn't always happen. about 50-70% of the time, but once it's happening, it won't shut down unless you choke it (hold power button). It'll just keep starting up. Anyone know what this could be? Specs just in case: Fatal1ty - Asrock Z97m Killer motherboard. i7 4790k (4.6ghz oc, doubt that affects much) Corsair TX750M psu. MSI r9 6970 Lightning

Hey guys! Me and my friends was planning to build since we started working my idea was to go all out once and upgrade later after a long run. and my friends plan was to buy a Dell XPS 8900 the $700 package. I told him he could build a better pc with a $700 dollar budget with parts that he wanted he told me that the $700 dollar deal will be justified in the long run! what you guys think?

Hey, first time ever posting here and needed some help with my PC I built a few years back and just started having issues with recently. The problem I'm having is only on start up or coming from hiberation. If I put it to sleep its ok, oddly. So when I hit the power button its a black screen and the gpu fans go from 0-100% speeds off and on about every 10 seconds. Sometimes if I let it do its thing it will go to the login in screen, but most times I have to turn it off and back on till start up. Specs: Mobo: ASRock Fatal1ty Z87 Killer PSU: Corsair CX750 RAM: 16 Gigs of Corsair Vengeance Processor: i7 4770k (not overclocked right now cause I thought that was the problem) GPU: EVGA GTX 970 SSC (upgraded from a 770 last year, never had any start up problems with it) Things I've Done: -Unpluged power and cycled the power a few times by pressing power button a few times for 5 seconds -Took out graphics card and tried booting up -Cleared CMOS manually and restarted I don't know what else to do sadly besides take it to a tech and see if he can tell what is going bad in it so I can just replace what needs to be done from there, but I may just end up building an all new PC soon anyways. I hope it is not my GPU because I would like to switch it over to my new PC once I build it, I have a feeling its the motherboard since it is a cheaper one and had a specific price point for my build at the time. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!

After raising record $3.4M on Kickstarter, UK drone startup collapses

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgkbhjXTbOE Source: http://arstechnica.com/business/2015/11/after-raising-record-3-4m-on-kickstarter-uk-drone-startup-collapses/ The whole point of this issue is a successful kickstarter campaign ending in a devastating collapse The company promised a lot of drones to consumers and contributors, but they failed to ship almost all of the promised units I think that there should really be a better platform for creators to get funds, but the contributors should also have a better idea of what the company is getting into I'm not sure how the company can solve this problem, or address the problems to those who have contributed to their huge project which garnered so much attention -

Hello! I'm new to the forum but I was told that this may be a good idea to ask about the market for my computer business... idea. I have heard of a lot of people, and encountered, that want the power and customization behind a custom-built PC but they lack the time, knowledge, or dedication to learn how to do it themselves. What my business would offer is a range of computers from a student-grade desktop to a workstation and gaming tower computer. They would be prebuilt for the customer by me using custom and enthusiast-grade parts. On top of that people could send in parts they want assembled together for a fee. I would accept Amazon Wishlists and PCPartPicker lists and test compatibility for them. My end goal for the business would be to have a team of people doing the building, partnerships with companies so I can get wholesale prices on their parts to lower the cost for the consumer and myself as a business. Is there a market for this? Could you see yourself using this? Thank you so much, and any tips, feedback, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone, I installed a watercooling cpu block earlier today. Everything looked to be setup fine and it worked without any issues. After an hour the PC kept freezing for a second. I restarted my PC and it took 20 seconds to load rather than 7. I rebooted again but I held down the power button instead. Now I can't get past the startup screen. When I turn on the PC it shows the Republic of gamers logo, then shows a black screen with a flashing cursor as if it's loading, but nothing happens. When I installed my new waterblock, I turned on the PC and it started pumping, all the water went around the loop. I have speedfan installed, but at one point it said that my CPU went from 30 to 50 degrees within a few minutes, even though the water was pumping. Then suddenly it went down from 50 back to 30 within 10 seconds. So I'm uncertain whether there was an issue with the software or the CPU has overheated. Everything was working perfectly fine before. The only thing done is I replaced a CPU fan with watercooling and added an additional 2 fans for the radiator. Hardware: Motherboard - Asus maximus ranger VII SSD - Samsung 840 Evo HDD - uncertain OS - windows 10 I have my SSD as the primary boot. I'm uncertain what to do, I've been googling for hours such as: "Blank screen and flashing cursor" "How to boot in safe mode" "Unable to get past startup screen" I haven't found anything relevant. I want to boot up in safe mode but can't see how. Pressing f8 just shows my two hard drives, no safe mode. Booting from either causes the same issue. If I go to the bios I can't see an option in advanced or boot for safe mode. I'm uncertain what else to try. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello guys, I have been getting more and more problems with my PC lately and only this week have I fixed most of them so that's why I didn't address this particular one before: it's not hampering the functionality of my system. I have this problem that makes me go through the BIOS setup every single time the PC is powered off so this happens every time I boot the PC for the first time of the day. This kind of make my SSD useless because instead of booting straight to the login menu, it make me re load my settings (yes I need to reload a profile for my OC settings) and this takes time. Otherwise the system boots really fast. I have a Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB and this info will come handy for another problem I have I want help to fix... Do you know why my motherboard does that? I tried changing the CMOS battery but it still does that. Also the time in windows gets reset so it might really be the battery. Tell me what I can do other than change the battery again just to be really sure it is indeed the battery. I list my second problem briefly here but I will also link the full thread below: I have enabled Rapid mode on the samsung SSD via samsung magician and now the PC detects 2 OS on the drive even though there are only one and asks me to choose which one to boot in. SSD OS issue thread: Thanks for any answers I will try out every one of oyur suggestions even if I already done them just to be sure it wasn't something really simple and dumb to fix. Regards
