Hello, OS - Windows 10 Age of system (hardware) - Built in 2015 CPU model - AMD Athlon™ 760K Video Card model - Sapphire Radeon NITRO R9 390 OC Motherboard - MSI A88X-G45 Gaming RAM - 2x4GB DDR3 AMD Memory Power Supply - was -> EVGA 850W P2 now -> Corsair 650W tl:dr: PC won't cold boot, pressing the power button once causes a blink of fans & any leds, holding power causes a spin up spin down cycle & pulsating leds, boots after power held for 5+ minutes + restart via onboard mobo button. Operates normally once booted. I first encountered this problem 2 weeks ago after noticing that my computer wasn't powering on after shutting it down the night before as I normally do. Looking inside the case, the onboard power button was on (Green LED) this would stay on throughout unless I held the power button after taking out the plug to fully discharge the computer. I noticed the led light in the power button would light up, the case fans would spin and the cpu would also spin as long as I was holding down the power button. However, it was more of a constant speeding up and slowing down. It was almost acting like the initial current supplied from pressing the power button wasn't sufficient to cause the process of a normal boot up. My motherboard has an onboard power button and the results were the same as pressing the power button on the case. I used the screwdriver jumpstart (method?) just to exhaust every option. Suspecting it was the power supply (850W evga plat ) I swapped it out for one I had in another system that was running fine. When installing the power supply I looked around the computer, nothing was out of place (no missing screws, nothing touching the motherboard, bent pins etc). Went to boot and it turned on via the case power button first time no issues (no holding down of the power button). Thinking this was just a fluke I turned it off again to be met with the same problem as before. Next, swapped the RAM around into 2-4 slots then just one stick then back to 1-2 all combinations provided no difference. I then took out the CMOS battery for approx. 1 min then placed it back in, no difference. I then held the power case button down for 5 minutes, this resulting in the case fans spinning up and slowing down in a cycle but never "fully stopping" ( if that makes sense, as if it were pulsing- in fact the led fan would brighten and dim in sync with the fans pulsing) until I heard a noticeable increase in the fan speed (no mobo beeps) I let go and saw the motherboard debug leds showed numbers from 30-37. I left it in this state for around 40 minutes, with the debug led going between 36-37. Pressing the onboard "Reset" button caused the PC to stay on with the fans still running normally and then booted into windows. I'm now left scratching my head as to what the cause is, I've done a Malwarebytes scan and there are no detected issues. No issues using the internet, plugging in and out USB devices playing games etc but I know that shutting it down will cause the same issue again. I know this was long and If you need clarification let me know. Thanks, Sorry for the long post! -
Hi! I was using my pc and everything was normal. Suddenly it shut down, not a good shut down but like someone had pulled the plug. It didn't want to booth back up after this. Normally, even when the pc is off, there is some RGB on the motherboard when the pc gets power. The RGB is off, only the 'PWR' light on the mb is blinking together with a very small led on the graphics card. I already tried a different psu but this didn't change anything. Is there a way I can check the mb? I have a multimeter and basic knowledge of how to use it. I don't know what to do right now so any suggestions are welcome. Thank you!

Hi, up until yesterday I was perfectly fine with my system (listed below) doing stuff as always. While I was playing a game system just shut down completely no sign of life even on/off button led on mobo (which stays lit while the system is turned off) was gone. I tried to restart nothing happened. I did some googling and tried stuff like unplugging psu and all the cables from the mobo, clearing cmos, taking off the cmos battery, waiting for a while and such but no result. After all these, I am stuck in a state that just clear cmos button blinking nothing else. As a last resort, I tried q flash plus thing. I took off everything from the mobo all the cables, cpu, gpu, ram, ssd, etc. Just plugged the 24pin and 8pin power cable and plugged a USB on the white USB port on rear IO (as instructed in manual with the right file name and USB format etc. btw I downloaded the latest bios version which is currently F30). When I turned the power on, the same thing just blinking clear cmos button and q flash plus button also does not do anything. It would be perfect if someone can helped in desperation right now. 1kVA online UPS x570 Aorus Master (at bios version F11 at the time of failure) Ryzen 3950x Nvidia Quadro 4000 ( yes I do play games on quadro) G.skill 64GB 3600MHz Corsair h150i Corsair hx850i Corsair fans 4x120mm Samsung Evo 970 -
So please bare with me here, before someone goes "it's because your GPU isn't getting enough power" I know that's what the 3 blinking red lights mean, I also am more than likely going to be buying a new PSU at some point anyways. I currently have a 760w Platinum from Fractal Design, originally I had a 2070 Super which was more than enough for it. A lot of 3080s, even 12GBs, which the OC 12GB is the exact model I have, say they need 750w of power at minimum. The Strix is just a beefy card that can draw a lot of power and I'm assuming ASUS expects a lot of people to try and OC it more past what it does out of the box and so it's recommended PSU is 850w. I am not actually going to do that, even with a higher wattage PSU, I won't be OC'ing the card further. I am wondering however, if I were to undervolt the card and lower the MHz a tad, would that decrease the chance I have of getting any crashes in the meantime before getting the new PSU? Or is that maybe not necessary? To be fair, I haven't run a benchmark yet... sooo I probably should do that in a bit to see if it'll keep crashing or something to see if how it plays with my 760w out of the box. Regardless, I'm getting a new PSU at some point, I just want to know if maybe there's anything else I can do in the meantime so I can actually uh, use the card for a bit without it just freaking out on me lol.

After using a screwdriver to forcefully release the PCIe lock and knocking against the motherboard, I hot-swapped a GPU. I had read online that nVidia and Microsoft had updated software to allow hot-swapping PCIe cards and GPUs. The GPU was not in use (video was connected to onboard graphics). Motherboard will not turn on now but does light up, albeit irregularly. -
Okay, so I'll start off by saying i have two separate HDDs... The first I put Linux Mint XFCE on, about 3 months ago. It is a 1 TB Western Digital 7200 rpm Hard Drive. The Second I recently added Windows 10 to. It is a 80 GB (it's like 5 years old) Seagate 7200 rpm Hard Drive. Before I added Windows 10, my Linux Mint hard drive (which is brand new btw), was working and booting perfectly fine, however, when I added Windows to my other hard drive (which previously has Linux Elementary, which also booted just fine), I had no access to the other hard drive in the file manager, and I could find no way to mount to it. When I rebooted, and tried to boot into the Linux Mint hard drive, it came up with a black screen, with a blinking white cursor (underscore, or whatever you prefer... This "_"). Now I let this screen sit for over 10 minutes, but nothing. So here's what I've done... I ran linux on a live usb, and managed to open, and edit files in the hard drive, so I know my data is not lost. In fact, in a worst case scenario, I can simply copy all my files to an external hard drive, and only lose my software, settings and preferences, drivers, etc. However that is not at all optimal, but it's better than losing 2 years of hard work. So yeah, any ideas on how to get rid of the problem? (Note, this is not my image, but it is the same screen I'm getting...)

Hi, i was given a Dell Latitude E6520 Laptop and i have noticed after a while of charging it starts blinking white. Once the battery charge hits about 90% the battery light starts blinking White and i did post on the Dell forums but they have not had anyone ask about it. while i was in school today i was forced to use one of the school laptops as they shut the Wi-Fi off for other devices for testing and i noticed that it did it on that laptop as well but the was in the Latitude E6400 series of models. Has anyone seen this happen before and if so what does it mean? i can't find anything online about it and not even the tech at my school has seen it happen before. It does not affect anything in terms of usability. The laptop still works perfectly fine and the battery reports as works perfectly and its health is perfect as well. I have never seen this and am just wondering has anyone else seen this before and what does it mean?

For a few months now, my tv would randomly blink every 20 seconds or so. We managed to fix it temporarily by changing the picture mode. Depending on what that's set as it will either get 10x worse (blinking about every half second) to working normally. It's been getting worse and worse as time has gone and now no matter what mode it's on it will always blink. It is a 55 inch Toshiba.

Hi guys, I recently build my own pc. Not long after my build my pc started flashing and flickering when I'm on chrome or leave it idle. During my gaming time, I didn't get any flickering issues. If I were to alt-tab to other windows it started flickering, and when I change back to my game nothing seem wrong. My connection doesn't seem to be the problem as I have tried using as a secondary display for my laptop. I'm currently using :- OS: Window 10 Pro GPU: Currently don't have any (using iGpu instead Intel HD 630) Connections for minitor : VGA to HDMI Feel free to ask any other info you need. Your help is really needed as it's quite annoying to see when it flickers. Thanks in advance

Blinking underscore slows down startup
sakuraprime8 posted a topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
After I updated BIOS due to audio-related reasons, before Windows logo shows, an underscore blinks for 5-6 seconds, which doubles my startup time. Other than that, Windows starts perfectly fine. Why do you think that this is happening? Checked boot order, SSD is the first option.Gigabyte H270-HD3, F4 update -
Please Help, At random intervals I notice my screen blinks black for about a whole .5-1 second at just completely random intervals. Whether in Firefox, in game, steam, wherever I am at. I find it gets even worse whenever I have to alt-tab. It has been doing this since Thursday when I logged in. After being annoyed by the blinking I updated from 375.95 to 376.19 in nvidia (I have a GTX 1070). My Monitor is brand new and I tried replugging HDMI, etc to no avail. I tried going through Task Manager. Nothing. I tried checking Super Anti-spyware and Malware-bytes. Nothing. Not even a cookie. Do I have to update chipset? BIOS? Revert Nvidia? This blinking is slowly driving me nuts so I would like some help. Thanks in advance.

So a couple of weeks ago, I bought myself a new ASUS Strix 2080TI. I was upgrading from a 1080TI. I uninstall display drivers using DDU, shut down the system, replace the card, boot up and install new driver. I then run a stress test *no overclocking at this time* and notice the screen flickering on the bottom half, and then when the actual test begins, I get intermittent black screen blinking. Seems much worse when running stress test vs running a game. Note that I had ZERO issues like this whilst using the 1080TI for the last 2 years. So I try everything, different monitor, 3 different DP cables, using the other ports, switching to HDMI... all the same result. At this time, I give up and RMA the card. ASUS replaces the card with a new one, and I received that today. I plug in the new card, and bam... same issue. Now I'm confused and wondering what else it could be, as I did not have the issue with the 1080ti, so the GPU is the only thing that has changed. So after some thinking, I think to myself, maybe there is too much power draw? I have an EVGA 650W 80+ bronze PSU that has been used for the last 3 years. The only thing I can do at this time is turn off the overclock on my 7700K that was at 5.0ghz constant. After turning off the overclock on the CPU, and no overclock on the GPU, it seems to be stable now? I ran Superposition benchmark multiple times after turning off the CPU overclock and the problem no longer exists. My question to you all is, does this sound like my PSU is bad? Could the 12v rail be bad? Im not too savvy on power supply issues. Any insight is appreciated, I'm just trying to figure out this issue as its obv not just the GPU at this point. -

above the PWR_LED label there's an LED that flickers red. What should I do? -
My windows lock screen blinks blue from any where from 10 seconds to 5 minutes once i start up my pc and i hit the spacebar on the lock screen. I think its either a problem with the gpu, monitor, or the psu. I have a 8600k z370 gaming plus 1060 3g 128gb ssd 2tb hdd 8gb ddr4 ram 550w semi modular psu hyper 212 evo thanks

First of all welcome all! this is my first post so be gentle I have an annoying problem. Since the April update, after resume, the screen is flickering (white flicker). this usually stops after few seconds but nonetheless is extremly annoying and worrying. Since the update i reinstalled the nvidia drivers, intel graphic driver that didn't help. Its a laptop (lenovo z50-70) with geforce 840m and i7-4510u This has not been an issue prior to the update so im suspecting something is conflicting but running out of ideas. Windows even log does not show anything suspicious. And this happens both on battery and the mains power. Internet is silent so i'm looking for some new ideas to test. I don't necessarily want to reinstall/ refresh windows but this is on the cards as well.

Happening since this morning.I have 2 monitors and the left one is blinking while the right one would sometimes completely lose picture and then get the picture again.On the other hand when i unplug the left monitor everything is fine with the right one working alone. Edit: GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1050 When i plug the right monitor by itself it's fine and doesn't turn off and on or blink,also i had this 2 monitor setup for over a year on this gpu without issue and only now it started.Tho when i plug the left one by itself it blinks and turns off and on.

I salvaged a dead Acer laptop display with this kit I bought from ebay and made a stand with some spare parts I had laying around the house. https://www.ebay.com/itm/kit-for-B156XW02-V-2-HDMI-DVI-VGA-LCD-LED-Controller-Driver-Board/122228046410?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 It seems to work fine for the 1st hour or so connected with VGA but after a while it starts turning off and on for a split second, the VGA detected sign appearing each time. Sometimes it stabilizes for a minute or two and then starts blinking again. Shutting the screen down and waiting for a bit makes the screen stable again. I noticed that lower resolutions make the screen last longer before blinking appears while connecting with HDMI makes the blinking appear in a matter of minutes if not instantly. So what do you guys think is wrong with it?

So as you might have understood from the title, I'm having a lot of problems with my new XFX RX 480 along with my new BenQ XL2730Z. I got both the graphics card and the monitor today. The problem is that the screen starts to blink now and then, specifically when I'm trying to play games. It basically turns off for some seconds, then shows a random color across the entire screen and then goes back to normal. It also ocasionally freezes for up to 10 seconds. One time it froze for over a minute until I just gave up and restarted the PC. I'm pretty sure I'm running the latest drivers for both the GPU and the monitor. The Radeon Software says I'm running 16.9.2 which is apparently the latest one. I think the problem is the software, whenever these freezes/blinking happens, along with them comes also the crash of the Radeon Software. Does anyone know what I should do? Should I try to roll back to an older driver/software? Thanks

Hey guys! I have had this monitor (SM 2233SN) for 7 years. It worked fine until like a month ago. Then it started quickly scrolling through the monitor's options menu and I couldn't stop it. It had stopped after a while, but then it blinked black every few seconds (5-10s). If you guys have had any problem similar to this and know the solution, please let me know. And yes, I am using the same PC with another monitor right now and it's working fine. System specs are: Core2Duo E7400@3.2GHz, ASUS Strix R7 370 2GB, ASUS P2KPL SE Motherboard. Thanks in advance! P.S. I will try to post a video of the issue as soon as I get my monitor plugged in.

Hi guys. To start off, some things to note about my computer: - It is Windows 7 64 Bit - For quite a while now, it has this weird stutter sometimes where my computer freezes for a few seconds and resumes again. Usually happens when I am playing games or watching videos - I have not had the problem I am about to state before, it is my first time. I did not download anything for the past few days as well. Shouldn't be virus related, I hope - This problem was suddenly temporary fixed, and thus I am able to post a discussion here - I actually had changed my graphics card from a GT630 to a GTX750 Ti, ever since then my start up screen had to be different, it said "American Megatrends" when it starts due to problems with how it was manufactured. I wasn't the one who fixed it though, it was my sister's friend. Computer Specs: Motherboard: Acer Predator G3620 Processor: Intel Core i5-3470 @3.20 GHz Graphics Card: Windforce GTX 750 Ti Ram: 8GB So basically my computer was very cranky today. It was in the afternoon when I came home to on my computer but to my surprise, it was stuck at the start up and had a black screen with the blinking '_' like so: I asked my sister for help, and she said to actually remove and put in the two ram sticks back into the motherboard (she took this from the internet). Ok, so I did that and the problem was still there. After that, I removed my 32GB Thumbdrive and internet adapter and poof, it suddenly managed to boot up. You might think that is the problem, but why does that happen? Is it really something to do with my plugged in drives? Thanks in advance~ Little about myself: I actually 14 years old haha, but computer hardware and all piques my interest, so I decided to learn more about it through Linus' videos. But they're still a lot of fundamentals I don't understand though. I hope to build my computer one day though, if that's possible. Another thing, I actually dk how to display my computer specs that are important, would be great if you could teach me.

I recently bought a new PC exept my old Seagate HDD and a Corsair CX600W PSU. Before the upgrade, I had a an ASUS P8B75-M LE mobo, i5 3330 and an HD7770 and everything worked just fine. The problem started when I changed my platform to an i5 4690K and an ASRock Z97m Pro 4. Here's the problem: Every second time I start my PC (on average) it won't boot up. The power LED indicator and the lights in the case start flashing. I'm guessing that the power delivery isn't constant becasue you can also hear the PC starting up parallel with the lights flashing. I would record the startup but you can't see anything - I'm guessing it's because it flashes more rapidly then the shutter on my phone camera. I repeat - every second time I start my PC (on average) this happenes. Then I have to unplug it from the wall, put the chord back in, press the power button and it works normally. What's the problem? It it maybe the PSU? Thanks.

Decided to give Razer Synapse another go after using the default Windows Driver for the past few months. Every time I wake my computer after the monitor turns off (not sleep or suspend, just display turned off), the mouse blinks and is unresponsive for what seems like a whole 60 seconds. Anyone have any issues with the latest Synapse? This didn't happen earlier this year when I was using Synapse. Let me know if you guys would like a quick video of what it's doing.

Hi I don't like this If you don't like this too hit the thumbs.... wait... im not on the youtube... ah....
