Hey! Today i tried to build a pc for the first time. Everything wen't ok until i turned it on, black screen spamming delete, no signal. I tried spamming delete for a good while with no results. I saw the orange light immidietly on turning the pc on, which i know often indicates RAM. I didnt have much problems with ram on install, they clicked* and i double checked that they are in all the way. Building and trying to boot it took me about 5hrs, since i wanted to be sure of each step by double/triple checking on my other pc ex. LTT newest pc build guide video, general info in the net. There was one part. isntalling the mobo in the case. So there was already some sort of stands on the case, and i tried to fit my mobo in the case and realized, if i put another stand on top of the already exsiting ones, the mobo would be too high above, so that the io shield for example wouldnt fit. So i did just install it on the already existing ones, they fitted perfectly aswell. In ~13Hrs, i will be trying to figure out whats wrong with it more thoroughly. If u have anything you might think is the problem please dont hesitate to post it under, tyvm PC: ASUS ROG STRIX B650-E F GAMING WIFI Kingston 2x8Gb FURY beast DDR5 6000MHz CL36 Ryzen 5 7600X AM5 Gigabyte RTX 4060 EAGLE OC Samsung 1tb 980 PRO M.2 PCie 4.0 NvMe 7000/5000MB/s Seasonic 750W FOCUS GX-750 Noctua NH-D15 LianLi LANCOOL 216

Hello! I've been using Asus mbs for a bit now and I decided to upgrade my config to AM5 recently, for that purpose I got a Rog Strix X670E-F Wifi mb alongside 64gb of DDR5 from Corsair (CMK64GX5M2X6800C32) and a R9 7900x. Finished the upgrade a bit ago and after trying out to make the build post, it keeps turning on the orange DRAM led and never posts. Stuff I tried: - Use each of the ram stick alone - Use other spare DDR5 sticks from crucial (4800) - Remove the CPU cooler (i applied a lot of pressure so I tried without it) - Use iGPU - Try without ram lol - Removing the CMOS battery - Using the Reset CMOS button on the io bakcplate of the mb - Try to flash the bios to latest version using asus flashback tool but I cannot confirm it worked Nothing so far have given results and i'm kinda running out of ideas, replacing the board or other components really isn't what i wanna do. For reference my GPU Is a 3070, I have populated every NVME slots (so 4) one with a bootable partition, one with some data and 2 brand new, No SATA drives have been connected and my PSU supports 850W and the CPU is using 8 pins rather than 4. Thanks!

About 2 months ago I built my second ever computer. All worked great and I've used it almost daily with no issues until today. I used my computer as normal yesterday, and put it into sleep mode when I was done (although I usually turn it off completely). Today, it was still powered, but refused to wake up from any input. I shut the computer off by holding the power key and tried restarting. It powered up (lights go on, all fans spin) but refuses to POST and gives no video output from the GPU nor integrated graphics. The computer was not moved or touched since yesterday. I've followed all the troubleshooting steps found here that I can. Both my CPU and DRAM debug LEDs are lit up red and yellow on my motherboard, indicating thats where the error comes from. As the computer is turned on, both these LEDs start shining together immediatly (with no other debug LED:s coming on first). There is no cycling/blinking at any point, they just keep shining together until the computer is turned off (by holding the power key). Full system specs: OS: Windows 10 Pro (with latest update) Motherboard: MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2GHz 104MB GPU: ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti OC RAM: Kingston 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5 6000MHz CL36 FURY Beast PSU: Corsair RM850e ATX 3.0 850W CPU Fan: be quiet!

Also tested that they work with my previous PC (they do!) Removed all outer peripherals Cleared CMOS both using reset pins and by removing the battery Reseat RAM (tested every possible configuration including one stick or no RAM) Reseat CPU (cant find any bent pins or anything else that looks wrong) Removed GPU and Additional storage Reseated all PSU cables and connections Letting the system stay powered for ~30 minutes Between every change I've made, I've tried restarting the system. Every time I do, it behaves exactly the same: turning on CPU and DRAM error LEDs and refusing to POST/send any video output. I suspect a faulty motherboard but would love to hear any suggestions as to what I could test before I send for a replacement. Cheers!

My PC was running fine till yesterday (Been in use for a few months). When I tried to boot today it powers on but is stuck on DRAM debug led. Screens do not get an image and usb peripherals do not get power. The fans and coolant pump are running, but change speed between full and minimum speed periodically. Build is entirely liquid cooled and all temps have been below max temps. What I tried: Reseat ram Use only one ram stick (tried both sticks) Reset cmos Flashed newest bios (0925) using bios flashback Disconnected all peripherals Tried dedicated and igpu My specs are: Windows 10 Pro 64bit ROG STRIX X670E-A GAMING WIFI (BIOS version 0925, latest) Ryzen 7950x 2x32GB Corsair Vengeance RAM Gigabyte 4090 Gaming OC Samsung 980 PRO M.2 NVMe SSD (1TB) boot drive BeQuiet DARK POWER PRO 12 (1200W 80+ titanium) Any tips on how to debug this situation further would be greatly appreciated, as I do not know where the fault could be.

Firstly, i power on the pc and sometimes the cpu light on my motherboard turns red, usually upon startup, then the light switches to another issue) other times there's no light at all. The motherboard starts beeping very rapidly, and i cant find anyway to decipher it, the beeping often changes too. And then, my DRAM light turns orange, (sometimes it'll flicker between that, and my red cpu light,) i tried taking out one stick of ram and alternating slots with them etc, but still no luck. Once, i took out one stick of ram, and the dram light went to having no light. And then i put the other stick of ram back in, and the build started powering up for about 2 secs, then power down, over and over again. lastly, my vga light on my motherboard turns white, when my dram, and cpu lights are off. my graphics cards fans spin upon startup, but later turn off. I tried using both it's dvi, and hdmi, but still no luck. It's a GTX 1050 ti so it doesn't need cables to my knowledge. ive taken out, the cpu twice, to see if it was damaged or had any paste on it, and it looked fine to me. (im not sure of the terms, but my aio cooler has a 3 pin connecter, and my mother board has 4 pins, so i tried it unplugged. And when i put it on the last 3 pins my cooler works fine, not sure if that has to do with it) I wanted to see if something was wrong with my graphics card, so i tried taking out my prebuilt pc's graphics card, to replace it. it didn't come out, at all, so i dusted it off and left it at that. Later noticing, it will no longer display anything. And my monitors now say no signal detected, the fans spin then turn off. in conclusion, i have no pc now, please help.

I just bought a used z77 d3h with 3570k. PC was running ok but sometimes it turned off randomly(It passed stress tests thou). I checked bios version n there were few updates. I installed 2nd latest update with @bios app. When it was completed I got the message to restart the PC so I did it. PC then started powering on and off there was no post or keyboard lights. I waited for a long the loop was continue. Guess what? I did turn off the power thinking this board has dual bios. Now PC loop is gone but still no posing.

Ok guys really frustrated here I am an experienced hobby builder and have built over 200 PC's but these lil shits are really bugging me, I bought over time the parts to make 2 mid range gaming PC's to try to get someone a nice Christmas gaming PC that I would sell at my local craigslist or eBay, currently I think the 5600G is a sweet spot for gaming as it is under 250 and comes from a great gaming line, put it in an asrock B550M Pro 4 mother board using a EVGA 600 ps nice case hoping to pair with a rtx2060 an m.2 ssd and 32gb DDR4 ram, so put the first together and she lights up great everything spins but no post...so I go thru my usual and various stages of removing things, checking all the cables, adding in known good GT8500 videocard and onboard video, pulled out memory and put good memory(in different slots) in and a big fat zero, so Im thinking MB or CPU, so since I had the parts for #2, I put that together and whallah no post tried same things and still no post... any idea guys...does the 5600G needed something special here... it is all current stuff 550 mb should be 5000 ready, I cant believe 2 cpu's are bad or two motherboards are bad nor 4 sticks of ram( all the parts but the videocards are brand new from newegg...the motherboards both have debug lites and with it stripped the CPU & DRAM lites are on with either videocard in place that lite is on as well Ive even tried letting it sit for a bit and no joy HHEEELLLPPP!!!!!

Ok to start off here, this type of repair (appears) to be new territory for me. I am trying to fix this HP Elitebook x360 G2 that I received that won't post. When I power it on the fan starts to spin at full RPM and someone I know said they have seen this happen before if it's having cooling issues and told me to try cleaning the fan and thermal paste and reapplying it which I did and got nothing out of it. I believe there is something wrong with the main board and I am trying to find a schematic and a boardview to figure out what the voltage should be for what and what should or shouldn't be shorted. I'm aware that that's already a very difficult task in of itself, but I gotta learn how to at some point right? I've spent quite some time trying to look and found a couple of sites that have both the schematic and boardviews but not for this computer. Anyone know where I can go to find this or know of other models that have practically the same layout that I can use that instead? If you have other ideas that could fix this I'm all ears. The computer doesn't me any kind of error code either so I'm trying to guess and check. I have a lot of experience in fixing computers but not to this level, I tend to stick to more part replacements and fixing the software side of the computers

Ok so I have had my pc for quite some time, and it never has any problems. Sometimes on games such as Fishing Planet or Train Sim World 2, the whole thing shuts off. Today, on train sim world 2 it shut off and would not post until I cleared CMOS. What could cause this? Specs: 17-4790k @4.0 GHz 12 GB DDR3 ram MSI Z97 GAMING 7 Nvidia GTX 9604gb by Asus 250 GB SSD (with and external hdd I use to store games) 750W Thermaltake Gold Power Supply The codes on the MB were 65 and A2. Not sure if its needed or not but I wrote them down.

Hey! Thanks for passing by! Specs Windows 10 - 64bit BIOS v6.0? It's what's shown up in the POST CPU - AMD FX-8350 (AM3+) RAM - HyperX HX312C10F/8 (DDR3) MOBO - GA-78LMT-USB3 (rev. 5.0) PSU - Cougar CMX 850W GPU - Sapphire - Radeon R7 370 Case scenarios: PC does not POST, keeps on until the power is cut off. PC does POST, then: It reboots/shuts down randomly (black screen) from the POST screens to early usage of the OS (0~10min) (if it shut off by this issue recently, tends to get in a reboot loop, going from start beep, up to the first OS seconds) It shuts down with heavy usage (seems that was solved) It simply works (but just randomly happens), and handles fine heavy GPU usage (and CPU too, it gets super hot) I don't get any error messages. If reboots a lot it just does shut down. What I have done: Tried on-board video (Removed the E-GPU) (Helped in getting POST scenarios more frequently) Reapplied thermal paste to the CPU (It was shutting off by heavy usage too) (Got to run games and heavy applications for hours, got a week of everything working fine, just had to swap the RAM slot sometimes) Reapplied thermal paste to the chipsets (haven't got no-POST scenarios since then) Surely is a hardware issue, I need to pin down what's the faulty component I'll see where i can check the BIOS version, before it shuts off, in 5 min

Hello guys, So I have a strange situation here. Built new PC by myself and for the first start I started out of case and it starts perfectly, installed windows and after that I built in inside case. Problem is that sometimes it boots just normally(installed beep thing on monitor and it beeps one time) and when it does I do some stress testing, heavy gaming (like cyberpunk 2077, apex and some more) and no problems whatsoever. Runs perfectly, temps are normally, everything is normal. But sometimes when it starts fans are spinning, I hear hdd is working too I think, cpu cooler is also working but there is no post on monitor and also no beeps. It's really sad situation.... Do someone have advices to do in this situation ? P.S. I did updating bios, resetting it via battery. P.P.S Sorry for bad English It's now my native language soo ))) I'm trying ^_^

Hi Guys, building my first PC and I’ve got a problem. I’ll insert my specs below and carry on from there: Motherboard: Msi b550 tommohawk GPU: ASUS GeForce gtx 1660 super CPU: Ryzen 5 3600XT RAM: Corsair Vengence 16GB 3200MHz PSU: EVGA BQ 650W Bronze semi modular Case: NZXT H510i Storage: WD Blue 500GB SSD Basically what happens is the system powers on, CPU LED on the mother board lights up, then turns off, VGA light on motherboard turns on, then turns off, then the boot light turns on and stays on. The boot light indicates that the boot drive has not been detected, even though it’s my first turn on and I want to open the BIOS, however no display on the TV to open the BIOS. Graphics card will start running but then the fans stop spinning after a few seconds. HDMI is connected to the graphics card and TV recognises that the HDMI is in use but shows no information or display. If I plug my USB with the windows install on it then the boot light doesn’t illuminate but still no display on the TV. would it be possible that I’d need a dedicated PC monitor to be able to see the post screen or should this not matter that I’m using my TV? Any help would be highly appreciated lads, thank you. Rhys

As I state at the title my x570 refuses to post even after all the troubleshooting I've done. Not even the CPU cooler or the case fans spin. Every time I power it the ez debug leds for dram,vga and boot flash. I have tried every method I know and it's still the same. I tried booting with a single stick of ram, moved it to different slots, checked the CPU for any bend pins, checked all the cables to to see if they weren't all the way inside, updated the bios with bios flashback and even connected the extra 4 pins that the motherboard has for cpu power to see if the CPU wasn't getting enough power. Now at one point i reached the conclusion that the motherboard was faulty and sent it back for the warranty. Then the company were i sent it said that it has no problems and sent me pictures of it booting to bios ( which when I had it didn't manage to do). So they send it back and still nothing, exactly the same as before. I don't think that it is a compatibility problem since according to MSI all the parts I have are compatible with the motherboard. At this point I have started to believe that maybe the RAM is dead but the RGB lights work fine when the board is powered and I don't have any other RAM sticks to check if that is the case. My specs: CPU: ryzen 7 3700x RAM: Corsair vengeance rgb pro 3200Mhz DDR4 Graphics card: Sapphire radeon hd 7950 PSU: thermaltake toughpower gf1 argb 850w Case: Corsair speck Delta

Hello everyone, I just built my very first pc, followed all the proper precautionary measures, and it turned on! I downloaded steam google chrome oculus and all the softwares i needed and left to do something only to come back to it off. Since it was downloading a few things at the time i figured something required a restart. So i powered it back on and all the fans came on and everything lit up and my display wasn't getting a signal. I tried again and again and noticed a little white led and consulted my mobo manual which says it is a vga error. I checked all cables to make sure nothing came loose and a couple other things but nothing is helping. When starting the pc the light changes from red to orange to white. Since it turned on and was running for a couple hours i imagine the bios doesn’t need to be flashed. Any help is greatly appreciated. edit- i forgot to mention that my keyboard and mouse wouldn't connect either My specs; Cpu - Amd ryzen 7 3700x Gpu - Rtx 2080 super Ram - 16gb 3200mhz gskill ripjaws v series Psu - 650watt evga supernova Mobo - Asus b450-f gaming Storage - Xpg gammix s5 1tb Case - Phanteks 400s eclipse

My PC won't start up at all, the motherboard has lights that glow on it when i turn on the power supply but when I press the power button on the case it won't turn on. I already tried plugging and unplugging the front panel cables a million times but I just don't know what the issue could be, I need help, big time.

Hi all. I've never posted here before and am just looking for any advice or suggestions if anyone has any for someone who is fairly new to overclocking but not building rigs. I have an old but solid setup that I want to use for video-rendering and audio production as well as gaming and recently bought a new set of RAM to update what I already had with this CPU / MB setup: Asus X99 Deluxe MB i7 5930k GTX 970 (Old RAM) 4 x 4GB Crucial 2133MHz DDR4 New RAM is 4 x 8GB Corsair LPX 3200 MHz DDR4 I cannot get past a 53 code on the Asus X99 Deluxe MB with even just one stick of this RAM in ANY slot. Code 53 is an error for no RAM initialisation and I've been searching around trying to find anything I could regarding this with no luck. I get that XMP profiles are needed, I have a dedicated switch on the MB to enable this anyway and have profile 1 set on the BIOS but I can't post or even load up a video output or BIOS with one, two or all of the memory installed. I've flashed the BIOS to the latest and then a couple of versions before the latest version to see what changes, nothing. I've tried disconnecting drives and again, nothing. I've read that the 5820k has probs with trying to use more than 2133MHz of RAM but the 5930k should not have this issue? I don't know what else to try at this point and any help at all with this would be massively appreciated! Thanks, Steve

Help help help My gpu wasn't up to scratch and some people on here said a flash could help well either I did it wrong or it didnt work but now my GPU outputs will not post to make matters worse my display driver keep on crashing when using the integrated GPU to try and fix it What can I do? Do I seek professional help? please help me
