Hi! This is my first post on this forum, I have a problem that is starting to worry me (mainly because I don't know how this power supply works). 2 months ago I decided to upgrade my PC (graphics card and psu) I will leave a list of my components so you have a better idea of what could be happening. Also sorry for my english not my native language. CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X (no overclock i think) GPU: 3070 Gigabyte Eagle 8GB PSU: Gigabyte Aorus P750W 80 Gold Ram: 16GB DRR4 3200Mhz Adata Motherboard: X570 Asrock Steel Legend Storage: 3 Sata SSD 1 M.2 SSD 1 M.2 Nvme The problem started from the first week that I was with the power supply, here in Argentina (where I live) the previous month there were many power outages, the first time it happened and the electricity came back on I tried to turn on the computer. I tried to turn it on and saw that the fans turned for a few seconds and then it turned off again, also when I try to turn it on it makes a kind of metallic sound. And at not having had an experience like this before, I decided to unplug it from the power cable and plug it back in after a few minutes. It turns on and works fine as if nothing had happened, at that moment I thought that maybe this was the way to protect the components from a short circuit, functioning as a kind of safety lock, but it still causes me concern, that's basically why I'm here making this post. The gpu it's used, but i did it all the stress test i can and it works fine, It never turned off in the middle of a gaming or stress session even. The psu it's new from what I know and i have local warranty so i can return it. Also the psu has and B in the psu list so that's why i trust that psu. If you need more details or information just comment and I will get it to you as soon as possible, so far the PC is still working, but it is to find out if there is something wrong with my PC or if it is something that is normal. I really hope i can know what's going on with the psu (if it is the psu), It will help me reduce the stress of thinking that my computer is about to explode. At the moment, hope you can help me

Budget (including currency): 1500 dollars Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Bf2042, Apex, Elden ring, seige 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): I'm looking into buying and or building anew pc for around 1500 dollars US. I'm leaning toward a pre-bult, just for warranty and being easier to purchase. I built my last pc, so I'm not concerned about building my own if the deals are right. For pre-builts, what would you guys recommend? For building your own, what would you recommend? I would like this to last me around 3 years. I game at 1080p currently but would like to go to 1440p eventually. Thanks for any insights/responses!

Hello, I just recently built a new pc. And I was a bit worried if my cpu is bottleneckning my gpu. Since I just assumed that the ryzen 5 7600x would work good with the 4070ti since both are relatively new and fast gaming components. Currently I play on 1080p but might buy a 1440p monitor since I understand that the 4070ti is better running on 1440p games. RTX 4070 TI RYZEN 5 7600X 32GB RAM 4800MHZ M.2 WD BLACK SSD AM5 MOTHERBOARD What are your thoughts? on https://pc-builds.com/bottleneck-calculator/ it said that the cpu is bottlenecking my gpu with 20-30% which o course is worrying.

i recently just made my first pc with my friend and ordered all new parts from black friday. Current Build - CPU: AMD Ryzen 5600X - Motherboard: MSI Pro B550m-VC Wifi ProSeries Motherboard - GPU: MSI Gaming Radeon Rx 6750 XT 12 GB - PSU: Pure Power 12 M 750W - RAM: Silicon Power Value Gaming DDR4 RAM 16G We built the build and everything went fine as my friend is a pc builder himself. We were able to perfectly and smoothly instal windows through a USB flash drive with my mouse and keyboard hooked up to the mother board and the GPU hooked up into the monitor. Windows installed and i entered my key then all was left was to connect to wifi. We sadly couldn’t find any wifi displaying on there so we rebooted the pc to see if it needed a restart. When that happened sadly the monitor said no display and the gpu fan stoppedrunning. What basically happened - Installed Windows - Couldn’t connect to Wifi so we rebooted - PC power goes through and the CPU fan spins with the RAM light on being the color white. - No power goes into the gaming mouse or keyboard cause the led lights weren’t on (pc was on and CPU fan was spinning) - The gpu is weird as after i shutdown my pc because there’s no display nor power into the USB the GPU fan spins for 3 seconds then stops. Same thing with the Mouse however it turns on for 5 seconds when i start up the pc. - (yes the display cord is plugged into the GPU) -( 70% sure windows installed cause we were able to get all the way until it showed connect to wifi) - i don’t think the gpu is a faulty gpu because it was working perfectly before. - it also shows no display Please let me know what happened or what I can do (gpu is 100% not overheating cause i haven’t even played or installed anything into the pc as it’s brand new) (if you want to see a video let me know if that helps so you can tell me what happened)

So here’s what’s happening, right now I do not have a graphics card but I wanted to turn on my PC and see it all light up and spin to life, but when I turn everything on, I get a red CPU light and a red DRAM light, the fans will spin for a minute and then the power supply will click, the lights go off it tries again and it does this over and over again. I have reseated my CPU, tried 1 stick of ram and all of the combinations of ram slots, making sure my 24 pin power was seated properly, making sure my 8 pin CPU power was seated properly, I tried clearing the cmos, but nothing seems to work specs: Ryzen 5 5600x Asrock B550Am mATX PNY XLR8 2 x 16 ddr4 3200 Corsair HX750 PSU i did buy some of these parts used and it’s entirely possible that I got scammed, even so I was hoping for troubleshooting advice and next steps if I do need to buy new parts, where should I start and how can I lose the least money

I have build a PC, two weeks before, and after installing windows 11 it worked fine. But recently on startup, after the bios screen, the screen becomes black and the fans ramp up to maximum. Especially the ones on the gpu The bios functions fine and does not crash. What i have tried: - Resetting the bios and removing the cmos battery - Updating the bios to version 7.07 (B760M PG Riptide) - Removing one stick of ram at the time and booting with only one - Reseating the gpu and reconnecting the power cables - Booting with a linux usb environment crashes instantly when selecting - try or install ubuntu - as described above - Removed the m.2 ssd and tried to boot without that to a usb flash drive - Reinstalling windows results into it working once (I also shut it down without drivers installed and it started again), but it randomly crashed when installing the video drivers and the same problem now occures. This is the pc: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/H4gHh3 Hope somebody can help me and sry for my bad english Thanks in advance!

Hello, I have just had a new PC and admittedly know next to nothing about PC parts and specs and everything that goes with that. My new PC has an RTX 4070 TI Graphics Card, and this is all I had to put in the PC upon delivery. This is now done and it seems to work completely fine, however upon starting my PC up I know have red text in the bottom right hand corner of my screen saying “NVIDIA Confidential” followed by random numbers and letters. Does anybody know how to get rid of this red text? I have installed the drivers as instructed since turning the PC on but the text has not disappeared. Any advice is much appreciated, Thanks!

Budget (including currency): Not strictly existing, but should be 'reasonable' (2500 - 3000€), Euro Country: Germany Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Path of Exile, New World, Minecraft, upcoming Elden Ring, potential other upcoming titles like Assassins Creed. Other details fresh build, no existing parts Hi, it's time for an upgrade. My current computer is about 6 or 7 years old (GTX 970, i5-4690K) and at its limits for a while now (I'm running newer games on minimum settings to achieve decent enough FPS (~60)). I'm not really experienced with hardware, so this the part list is the result of me watching ltt and reading some things on the internet. This time around I also want to build this computer myself for the first time. Timeframe will be within the next ~2 months. I have been looking at alder lake, but that is a bit out of the reason for now (5000€+ with DDR5 etc.), so I decided to go Ryzen 7 5800X (only about 50€ more than 5600X). For the GPU I'm looking around 3080ish (3090 would be nearing alder lake). On that I don't have a specific one in mind yet (for reasons ...), but something like Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming OC 10G (Rev. 2.0) (in list below) or ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 V2 OC. Parts I'm generally not quite sure about are PSU (partpicker and another calc I checked say that 750 would be enough, but if I decide to overclock a bit, e.g. using XMP profile, I think 850 would be safer?) and whether I want 2x PCI 4.0 M.2 or only 1 and 1x 3.0 (512GB system drive + 1TB extra + maybe some additional 2.5" later on). Also depends on the final motherboard of course. For the case I picked Phanteks Eclipse P500A D-RGB. It looks modest (I don't need intense RGB) and decently build friendly. Are the 3x 140mm front fans + the AIO with 2x 280mm enough for cooling (just now saw that the comments on the NZXT X63 are not all that positive)? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/74z4RT Thanks for looking at my list and hopefully enlighten me on how good or bad I did :)

Hello! My old PC broke down after a few days and I have a tight budget on a new one, ( UK ). I do not need a CPU as I already have a decent intel 7th gen and I do not need a case.

Would be appreciated if could find better parts for the price, only things I would keep are the fact that the motherboard has wifi, and it has HDMI from the cpu and it has an M.2 drive slot. Many thanks - DCR!

Hey guys, I recently builded a new PC. Everything worked fine, got into the bios, made a fan curve, I started the windows install but roughly at the end of the installation it turned off. I tried to turn the pc on many times, but it only lights up for about one second and then turns off. Also to get it to light up shortly I need to replug the powercable of the psu. Flipping the switch off and on will only get the same effect if I wait some time and then wait 2 seconds after I press the power button. I hope someone can help me with this problem The specs are: tried to install Windows 10 Home 64-Bit AMD Ryzen 5 5600X (CPU) Gigabyte Radeon RX 6600XT Gaming OC (GPU) MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus (Mainboard) be quiet!

Hey so before I dump almost 2k on a new pc I wanted to let you tech-wizards check it before I mess something up. so here are my parts, nothing is ordered yet: GPU: Gigabyte rtx 3070ti "Vision" Motherboard: Gigabyte Z690 UD CPU: I5-12600k (maybe will go for the 12600kf if its availiable, which it isn't right now where I live.) Drive: Seagate FireCuda 530 1tb (m.2 go brrrrrrrrrrrr) PSU: Bitfenix whisper m80 plus gold (cheapest 850watt psu with gold efficiency where I live) Memory 32 gb of G.skill RipJaws V DDR4 (3200MHz, latencies are 16-18-18-38) (also the 32gb are more than necessary because I will use this pc mostly for dcs world where 32 gb is the bare minimum for most missions) Case: Silverstone Fara R1 with all 6 Fan slots filled (worried about GPU size, GPU is 320mm, case supports 322mm, but if it doesnt fit I will cut out a piece of the front fan bracket which isnt a big deal since the case doesnt have a glas side panel) CPU cooler: Noctua NH-U12S for that freezy breezy noctua action hehe OS: Win11 does it look alright? also does the Motherboard give off enough power to daisy-chain 3 fans off of each fan header? Thank you cuties :3

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): I have no parts right now I’m starting fresh I have a keyboard, mouse, desk and table I just need the a monitor and I’m only looking for one. I won’t be needing windows. I’m looking for something that will give high performance for competitive games but also will allow me to play story games or any game I want to be played on high settings. I am looking for a white case to fit the theme of my setup. I really need some help and would appreciate it if anyone can. Thank you.

I started my first pc build yesterday but when I turn on the psu the only thing that turns on is the rgb on the mobo.

Budget (including currency): ~1000€ Country: Austria Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: videoediting (davinci resolve), digital art (krita with gaoman graphics tablet), photo editing (currently darktable), light gaming (witcher 3, would love to try cyberpunk 2077, maybe some fps shooters but non-competitive) and daily university work. my focus lies more on the videoediting. 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): building from scratch, I basically need everything (i. e. mouse, keyboard, monitor), but I have an additional ~200€ budget planned for the monitor. I would want to buy it in around a month. I've also been thinking about buying a rig without the graphics card due to current prices and upgrading it later. I would use the processors graphics chip or a cheap graphics card until then. resolution should bin min hd 1080p, or if possible for the price 1440p. refresh rate is not to important as long as there are no really obvious lags since the pc will mostly be used for creative work. Thanks in advance for the help I've been really lost in my research, not knowing what is really important for my purposes.

Finally got most of the parts of my new build so I could at least confirm everything works and install windows. I followed the steps from jayz2cents from this video https://youtu.be/RYYoCXh2gtw. I've set my boot priorities and then try to boot over ride from the usb but it always gets stuck on the windows logo screen, no loading icons or anything. Left it for over an hour but nothing changed so idk its working though anything. Also tried plugging in the boot drive from my old pc and tried to boot over ride from that, but it just shows the windows logo with a data recovery message but also gets stuck on that screen.
