[Specs] CPU: Intel i7-4770 Motherboard: ASUS Intel LGA 1155 Micro ATX P8H67-M Ram: Two sticks of DDR3 8gb ram Storage: HDD 1 tb Misc.: Tower Fans, Tower RGB light Hello, I have recently purchased a new Motherboard, PSU, and Tower. I moved all my components into my new Tower, but I still have my old Motherboard. The new motherboard is screwed in, my Graphics card, RAM, HDD, and CPU are all in and well-seated. My PSU is hooked up, plugged in to my wall, and connected to my HDD and motherboard. My I/O, fan, power, and audio connectors are all plugged into the motherboard. However when I attempt to boot my PC, nothing happens. I double checked and confirmed that the front panel buttons are connected and booting the PC by touching the connectors with a screwdriver, so the buttons are not faulty. The PSU's cords have been hooked up with every wire, except the VGA wire because my Graphics Card doesn't have a connector for that. The motherboard has a green light on it, so it is recieving power. My monitor is plugged in to my wall outlet and motherboard as well. I've removed all but essential components such as 1 stick of RAM and the CPU so see if one of my components was faulty. It did not boot, even when removing all non-essential components. I've done this for both sticks of RAM. This is everything I've tried this far, and I provided as much notable information as I could. Please help me troubleshoot this, I'll be on standby answer any questions.

Hello everyone, I would like to ask for help with overclocking my new PC. I've dabbled in OC but don't know too much just trying to feel the difference between my old parts to new parts. OLD PC Parts- MSI B550M pro vdh wifi, ryzen 5 3600, 2070 Super XC Ultra 8GB NEW PC Parts- MSI Pro B650-p wifi, Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 2070 Super XC Ultra 8GB. Any help is accepted, thank you

I replaced my old Asus Z10PE-D8 WS board with 2 Xeon e5-2690 v3's, 4x8GB DDR4 2133 CL15 ECC udimms, and vega 64 Graphics card. With an Asus Pro WS X570 Ace, Ryzen 9 5900x, 2x16gb DDR4 4000MHz non-ecc udimms, and a 6950XT. I've had an unbelievable amount of problems, If anyone can help me, I greatly appreciate it. Day 1: Mostly spending time putting things together, my PC ends up only being able to get to the pre-bios screen (where it says "press DEL or F2 to enter the bios") I can't enter it, but I can press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart, I used a friend's spare 3600XT and load a new bios onto a flash drive, this fixes it. I try loading into windows, frequent Random Hard Reboots and BSODs (with visual artifacts) "WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR". I take it to be a GPU Driver issue. Day 2: I spend several hours trying to install new GPU drivers, almost all with the result of my PC encountering the same problems as the day before, before the installation could complete. At some point my SSD's detection by windows and my motherboard's bios becomes intermittent, and only on certain boots (hot or cold didn't make that much of a difference, it seemed more random) I figure it's an issue with my windows version because of how much newer my hardware has become with only a single upgrade. So I decide to back up my data and format my SSD (I would have done an in-place, but my system was too unstable for that). I couldn't install windows, I would get mountains of errors, I was so desperate I contacted microsoft support, who did a good job helping me. (The fix was downloading chipset/sata drivers onto another flash drive and having it plugged in during the setup, if you're interested). The system would crash during CDM or any significant driver updates. I Figured that the SSD was toast. (even though it was working just fine 2 days ago) Day 3 (today as of writing this): I went to micro center to get a new SSD, I tried installing windows via boot media, seemed more stable from the start. (I got my hopes up). Granted the machine with the new windows install IS more stable, I was able to install windows updates, gpu drivers, and chipset drivers fairly easily. No more BSOD's, and random reboots can occur up to 30 minutes after booting instead of 0.5-5 minutes (I even made this post on the machine, even if it did shut off a few times while I was doing it). Trying any other actions regarding updating gpu or chipset drivers, windows update, or large file transfers will cause a hard reboot. In-place upgrade windows doesn't work, and all audio (whether from the GPU through my monitor speakers, or my logitech G435 USB headset) sounds like someone is holding down the pause button (you know how you can hold space on a youtube video and it rapidly pauses and unpauses. All sound sounds like it's been ran through a filter to produce that effect, it is unusable). I'll probably run Memtest86 tomorrow just to rule out RAM. I'll also contact Asus to see if my board is still under warranty, I got it in late 2020, but it's been sitting on a shelf until I started my upgrade. Additional Info: I'm pretty sure it's not a GPU issue, the artifacting has gone away with the driver updates. NOTE: I can't reply too much as I'll be going to bed within an hour, but I'll try to. I'll be back tomorrow and the day after.

Hey all, I recently upgraded my mobo to a Asus Strix B550a and was able to install a Ryzen 5 5600x to match my Zotac Amp Holo 3080, but almost a week in im getting kernel power issues out of nowhere. It first happened in Red Dead Online in the middle of a mission (I dont even have the game jn full screen and its on medium settings), and now 3/4 times I launch Hunt: Showdown, my computer restarts. The strangest thing though, its thay This started happening after I installed a new 1tb ssd, so I'm not really sure whats up. I've already made sure that: -gpu has 2 independent power cables -my power plans are good as they should be -updated gpu, mobo, chipset and other drivers -deleted icue -checked psu connections on mobo -ran hci memtest to check the ram -ran msi afterburner to check if cpu could run at 100 for extended amounts of time my build: mobo: asus rog strix b550a cpu: ryzen 5 5600x gpu: zotac amp holo 3080 memory: gskill ripjaws series V 2400 ddr4 2x8gb psu: seasonic 850w gold 1tb hard drive a 150gb ssd (boot drive), a 500ssd and a 1tb ssd

Hello, I have recently upgraded my entire PC components. Here is a list of everything I've upgraded. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Corsair Vengeance RAM 32GB CORSAIR - RM Series RM750 Fully Modular Ultra-Low Noise ATX Power Supply - Black MPG B550 Gaming Plus AMD Motherboard - MSI NZXT - Kraken X63 RGB All-in-one 280mm Radiator CPU Liquid Cooling System - Black The only part I haven't upgraded is my CPU which is a AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor 3.60 GHz Now the issues that I am facing is that certain games crash when I'm playing. I've noticed that it has to do with the games I have installed on Epic Games. Fortnite for an example, I am able to boot up, start the game play a match and finish a game without interruptions. Only when returning to the main lobby the game freezes and then crashes. Dead by Daylight crashes when booting up, sometimes I can get into a match but then crashes loading into the map. I got the game on Steam and I'm able to play a full match until trying to play another is when it crashes. Vanilla Minecraft crashes when playing but with Optifine installed with max shaders, the game doesn't crash. Call of Duty crashes but not all the time it's rare when it happens. (Call of Duty: Vanguard) And recently I bought the game Forewarned a small horror game about exploring Egyptian tombs and the game crashes after a match finishes. Now I have checked all my drivers and everything is up to date. Contacted epic games support and tried adding DirectX11, my BIOS is up to date on the motherboard. I'm stuck! I don't know what else to do. Can anyone help?

Hello, I need some advises. I 'm building a new PC and in the last 3 days I've read so many articles. I am a Full Stack developer, or I'm going to be. 1. Budget & Location My location is Greece and more specifically Athens, Greece and my budget is 800€ - 900€. 2. Aim As I said before I am a Full Stack developer, but I want to use my PC with Android Studio, Apache Tomcat, (I had major problems with both of them) and at least two Virtual Machines on Windows 10. The only game I am going to play is The Sims 4 3. Monitors I currently using two monitors (LG 25UM58-P , LG L1718S ) but the aim is to use at least 3 monitors. In the future I will replace the old monitor but not as long as it's working. 4. Peripherals I do the main peripherals like a cheap keyboard and an ok mouse.(When I have money I'll buy a good mechanical keyboard) 5. Why are you upgrading? Well..my last update was in 2006 ..I don't have to say anything else!! My build as I see it has both old and new parts. So here is what I am thinking: (green is thing I have and I want to use, red the thing I'm going to buy) CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X Motherboard: MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus || Asus Prime X570 Pro GPU: GeForce GT 240 Power Supply: Corsair TX-M Series TX550M 550W || Thermaltake Toughpower Grand RGB 650W Gold Memory: G.SKILL 16GB DDR4-3000MHZ || Corsair VENGEANCE® LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz C15 Memory Kit Storage: WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD || Western Digital WD Green M.2 480GB Storage: TEAM L3 EVO SSD 120GB ATA Device (SATA (SSD)) Case: CASE INNOVATOR SILENCE BLACK Optical Drive: (optional) HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H10N ATA Device I've found a GPU (Gigabyte GeForce GTX1050 Ti 4GB OC Low Profile) but I don't want to buy it now. I'm wondering will my old GPU work with the new system?

If I decided to get brand new parts (including case) for a gaming PC that would be good for at least 2 years that has a $1500 budget, please tell me! (CPU must be AMD).

Budget (including currency): $200 Country: North America Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mainly Games, COD Warzone especially Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Hey, kinda a novice in pc stuff.

Hello I am currently running this rig (these are the parts I wish to upgrade I didn't include the mobo as It wont work with the new Cpu anyways) CPU: AMD FX 8320 3.50GHz GPU: Nvidia 750 ti RAM: 16gb DDR3 I wish to upgrade these parts into these but I'm actually thinking that maybe the CPU and RAM are not worth it and I should just spend it on a new (better) GPU, so this is what I did have in mind for the new parts (I am a gamer however I do enjoy building and benchmarking PC's much more these days thanks a lot Linus). Mobo: https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-Z170-Skylake-CrossFire-Motherboard/dp/B0126R2LBK/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1486345087&sr=8-6&keywords=LGA1151+motherboard CPU: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-i7-7700K-QuadCore-Cache-Processor/dp/B01MXSI216/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486343455&sr=8-1&keywords=Intel®+Core™+i7-7700K GPU: https://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-GeForce-GTX-1070-ARMOR/dp/B01GVHNW3W/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1486344327&sr=8-4&keywords=nvidia+gtx+1070 RAM: https://www.amazon.co.uk/HyperX-FURY-DDR4-HX424C15FBK2-32/dp/B01D8U2AHO/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1486345059&sr=8-14&keywords=ddr4+ram+32gb Total cost: £1051 I am also open to suggestion if you think any parts are not bang for the buck and you have a better part in mind price isn't to much of an issue just don't be ridiculous and recommend a titan xp or something. Is it worth upgrading? I was going to go all out but I'm starting to think that its not really worth it and I'm just buying stuff for the sake of it (also don't worry about PSU as I don't mind sorting that myself).

Hello guys, I wanted to but this on amazon -i5 6600k -z170 mobo (any pretty much) -corsair water cooler (h50) -and 16 gb of ram (ddr4) Was wondering since Thanksgiving is around the corner (since in Germany we dont celebrate it) that i could use black friday or cyber monday to get this new gear on a lower price? Thoughts? Will i save more money this way or should i go buy right now?

I from Ukraine but i want to buy in Amazon (US) Budget is around ~930$ Can you help?

Hi, thanks for having a read and possibly helping. Today I've tried upgrading my motherboard and CPU from an x4 880K to an i5-4590. I've tried plugging everything in but when I try either pressing the power button or briefing the pins, nothing happens. And when I say nothing happens, absolutely nothing. I have no idea what I've broken, especially because the same thing happens when I try reinstalling my old motherboard band processor. This is really frustrating me and any help will be appreciated.

I made my PC in 2017 and haven't upgraded it since other than some new fans and an ssd. Right now, I have an R5 1600 and a gtx 1050 ti. With the new GPUs and CPUs coming out, I was wondering what to upgrade first, with what, and when. Edit: I want to try to take advantage of my 200hz 2560 x 1080 panel on games which is basically the only thing im doing on this computer

Hello I am currently upgrading my pc and wanted some opinions. I have a GTX 1050ti, i5-2500, 1TB HDD, 16gb 1600Mhz RAM, and the basic Optiplex 990 06D7TR motherboard. I am hoping to get an ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 motherboard, RX 590 graphics card, i5-3570k CPU, DIYPC Zondda-B black case, and a Cooler Master Extreme Power 500w PSU. I was wandering if these upgrades would be worth it for VR and triple A games in 2020 or if I should save up and get a new higher end pc in the future. Even though I already bought the graphics card, case, and PSU and there is no going back now I was wandering others opinions. I appreciate all opinions!

Hi Everyone, Since we're in the mist of Holiday sells I was wondering if any of you can help me with recommendations or suggestions on what to upgrade on my current build. Below are the parts. I think i'm good with the GPU, Power Supply and Hard drives so I would want to get suggestions for Case, Ram, Motherboard and CPU (and it's cooler). I currently play games on a 1080p monitor (looking on getting 1440p in the future) and I also like playing strategy games that are CPU intensive. As for the budget, maybe an upgrade that costs no more than $500? Please let me know and thank you all for helping.

Hello i am picking up my Ryzen system in a couple of days. Ryzen 5 1500x,2x4gb of 3000mhz ram and a Gigabyte ab350 gaming 3 mobo (my old parts are Phenom II x3 720 BE and a Asus M5a99x evo) I am planning onto changing only those components because my current pc can easily handle those. Psu that is 80+ and has 620w from cooler master is enough and i am keeping my hdd's. GPU is also being kept as the case only those parts above are being changed. I have 3 hdd's that are basically 80% full and my first hdd is partitioned to have a 240gb windows partition and rest is files,i don't have a way to backup those files and i want to find a way to not reinstall windows,never changed hdd's beetwen mobo's and don't have any experience,do i need to prepare the OS in any way or am i stuck to formating that drive?

I am currently running an i5 3570k @ stock speeds with an ASUS P8Z77-V and stock cooler which I will probably upgrade with my new graphics card - I am currently running a GTX 1050ti. I am upgrading to a GTX 1070 and don't know what CPU to upgrade to or what resolution/refresh rate monitor to pair with the system. All advice is appreciated

I recently upgraded 3 main components in my PC as of this Christmas. As a result, Battlefield 1 has been running worse than before and I have no clue as to why. I've updated as many drivers as possible, turned off many background processes, I overclocked my new CPU, I even bought another stick of RAM with the money I had leftover from Christmas but nothing is working. With my old build, I could get around 50-60 FPS only medium settings, with the exception of Texture Quality and Texture Filtering, which were both on High. With my new parts, even if I put all the settings on Low, I'm barely cracking 40fps in the middle of any map. If anyone could give some insight on this, I'd really appreciate it. Old build: CPU: AMD FX 8350 @3.9GHz GPU: AMD RX 480 8GB MSI RAM: 2x4GB DDR3 2660MHz (unbranded) Motherboard: Gigabyte Tech.

Hi i was wondering if anny one could post their best chassis and motherboards and it has to be micro or mini and im not going high end so yes dont go balls deep and you can use pc part picker to show me since im running skylake build im still gonna go with it i5 6600k and yes almost forgot a low profile cpu cooler if its gonna be in a small form factor case. sorry if i was not detailed and ask me questions so i can assist you helping me (it sounds retarded but ayyy) And as said it can be micro or mini just not atx since i want a small pc i mean sure if you could find a low profile chassi for atx id like that lol id save money but ive been looking and have not found annything so yes keep it under micro and mini thank you

So I recently got a new graphics card. I originally was going to try to power it with my current power supply, but I'm not sure that is such a great idea. I was supposed to get an adapter with the card, but the seller forgot to include it. The adapter I need costs almost $7 if I want it in a reasonable time frame. I figure it's better to just invest the money in a quality PSU now, instead of spending it on something that might now work, or might damage my components. Here are the parts I need to power: CPU: Intel Core i5 4590 @ 3.3Ghz Cooler: Hyper 212 EVO Motherboard: Gigabyte B85M-D3H (Micro-ATX) Memory: Adata 2 x 4 GB @ 1333Mhz GPU: EVGA Superclocked GTX 770 (600w minimum, one PCI-E 6 Pin, and one 8-Pin) Storage: Samsung 840 EVO, 1 TB WD Blue, 3TB WD Blue (5400 RPM) Case Fans: 2 x 120 mm Any power supply recommendations? I'd like it to be modular if possible. I'd like to be cheap, quiet, and be modular if possible.
