Greetings. Without further ado, I'll get to the heart of the problem. My specs: Motherboard - Gigabyte A520M K V2 RAM - Kingston DDR4 32Gb (2x16Gb) 3733 MHz pc-29800 FURY Beast Black (KF437C19BB1K2/32) PSU - Seasonic PRIME PX-850 (SSR-850PD) CPU - Amd Ryzen 7 5700X (no OC) GPU - GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER 12GB WINDFORCE Misc. - 2 Kingston SSD and 1 M2 Noname SSD The essence of the problem: Last night, I went to bed as usual, turned off the computer. This morning, it stopped starting (black screen, fans spin up at startup, then go quiet). What did I do: I pulled out RAM, GPU, CPU. I took a spare PSU (cheap Thermaltake 650w). All this did not bring results. One of the interesting things is that when changing the GPU (on GT610), the keyboard backlight lights up. Just as it turned out, the speaker does not "beeps" (I checked it - it is dead) POSTcard and new speaker will arrive tomorrow and I will update the information. Sorry for my English - I'm not very good at technical terms in English.

Hello to all, I'm a new user for this website and i'm looking for information to build a custom pc. I was looking at building in the all new Be Quiet case, the dark base pro 901. I have seen in the info that the case is able to hold a additionele 16 Sata drives next to the onboard PCIE ssds from the motherboard. Yet i have no clue with everything i have to take into account before making the wrong choice for buying the right amount of hardware to make tis possible. I'm having the following though of using 10 Sata ssds each with the capacity of 2TB, maybe in the future i would put in some more storage if necessary. This storage would be put in a raid, currently looking at raid 5 or raid 10, not sure which would be better if they where to be used mainly for gaming and video storage. Any information would be helpful in the future. With kind regards

So I have a Toshiba ty-hru30, and whenever I plug it into my phone via usb, android does prompt for me to choose between using it for charging, file transfer/android auto, and PTP. However, whenever I choose the file transfer option, it refuses to change, instead having the prompt come up and disappear several times in quick succession, before reverting back to charging. It should technically work as it'll work with a thumb drive, so if anyone could pls post some advice it would be very much appreciated. I have not tried another phone yet, I am planning to once I get back home.

Hey everyone, so I'm actually stumped with my brother's pc. So for a while now he has had an issue where once in a while it would just randomly restart on him. I believe it started after he installed his 3070 (which I don't believe is the issue, I'll explain why soon). He said the other day he started noticing a large performance hit in his games (GTARP I believe), so he decided to just wipe his computer and start completely fresh. He used his motherboard bios to wipe both his ssd and his hdd, but now the restarting has got even worse, it maybe lasts every 2 - 5 minutes, when originally he could game sometimes for hours sometimes it would restart once or twice a night. This is not a BSOD crash, it just goes black and restarts. His computer has a Ryzen 3700x, MSI X370 Krait, 32gb of DDR4 3600mhz Corsair Vengeance ram, Gigabyte 3070, Corsair AX760 Platinum PSU, Samsung 980 evo 500gb SSD, Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD, it's in a cheap Deep Cool Case. And now for the reason I'm stumped, and I'm thinking it might just be the motherboard. I'd love to hear any other recommendations before he orders a new one. Here's what we have tried so far: Swapped ram, swapped video card for 2 different cards, swapped power supply, tried each harddrive individually, tried different sata ports, swapped power bars, swapped power cables from the bar to psu, checked all the cables from the restart / power switch on the case. Nothing on the motherboard looks bad but I'm also not an expert on this. There are only 2 times the computer doesn't seem to restart, in the bios, and when it's on that black screen with white text that says there is no boot media (if you have a drive without windows installed). This just leads to me thinking there is some issue with the motherboard trying to send and receive the data drives or something like that. I figured I'd ask here before he went and bought a new motherboard. Thanks for any help!

I'm currently trying to decide if an upgrade to my CPU/mobo would actually be worth the cost despite knowing that it would technically improve performance. Current PC specs are: Ryzen 5 3600 MSI B450 Tomahawk Max RTX 3060 12GB 32GB (x4 8GB) DDR4, 3200 CL16 1080p 165hz display I know that the 5600x is a better CPU and I could absolutely upgrade the motherboard to something better, but since I currently only game at 1080p I don't know if it's actually worth the money. Would I be better off saving up for an upgrade to the GPU or should I go ahead and upgrade the CPU/mobo and wait for the 40 series to level out in price?

When I started using Windows PowerToys Run, it warned me while searching that not all files were indexed. I went to Windows Settings and set it to index all files. Even after that, PowerToys still thinks not all files on my computer are indexed. Why?

Hi guys, i`m Shane and i have a lot of problems with my build. This is a long story, full of inexcpected twists and studded with frustation, written as a last effort before i LITERALLY BURN MY COMPONENTS IN MY BACKYARD. It all started almost a year ago when on a the verge of a pandemic lockdown i decided to build my new PC.. here are the original specs: Ryzen 5 3600 stock cooler Sapphire Pulse RX580 8gb 2x8Gb of DDR4 Patriot viper steel 3200Mhz Be quiet! system Power 9 700w PSU B450 Aourus Elite rev1 Everithing bought from an italian online reseller (HW1.it) except for the GPU bought from amazon.it When i first assembled all the components i noticed that my pc suffered from random reboots and it was almost unusable, the win10 logs reported a kernel power error, so not a good start.. i reinstalled the operating system multiple times and i also used a dual boot manjaro system for a while, tried disabling XMP but nothing changed.. So i rma my card (amazon client service is awesome) and i got my money back. I bought an asus gtx 960 2gb cause i found it used at a really good and low price and installed it, the system now doesn`t crash but it was just the beginning. Now the fun part, i noticed some minor problems, mouse scattering, and wifi connection issues. The problem is that my wifi pcie card (ubit intel wifi 6 ax 200 with bluetooth) shows up and run but very slowly like 1mb/s dwnl and after some time it disconnects as if i removed it from the motherboard. Correct drivers are installed. So i thought that the adapter could be the problem and i bought a usb wifi adapter, installed it and got almost 60mb dnwl and 10ms ping, everything ok right? Well NO. The adapter keeps connecting and disconnetting from the system (like every 5 sec) till it doesn`t reconnect at all. Updated motherboard BIOS to F60ver with no changes. The solution to this problem is to use my old HTC phone in usb wifi thetering mode which results in a stable, fast and reliable connection. I tried the pcie wifi card and the usb adapter on one of my friends PC and there they work just fine. So the mistery deepend.... As a last effort i bought an ASUS B450 PLUS Prime motherboard, swapped all the components and got the same stupid behavior from the wifi peripherals, i`m going to return this board to amzn in order to get my money back but i really don`t know what to try now.. I can`t Rma the original parts to HW1.it cause they shut down and i have to deal with every single manufacturers.. The only components i can try to swap remain the CPU, PSU and Memory.. I think i am going to try a new PSU to see if it`s an eletric supply related problem cause the only difference i see from my wifi adapters and the Phone is that the latter has an internal batterry that can supply short outtages or bad psu power. I am literally begging for help, i need my pc for online University classes especially now that COVID is coming back strong here in italy. Please help with suggestions, i would really need an Anthony now A really frustrated and angry italian guy (but mostly frustrated).

I am having a large issue where I cannot play most of the games I buy and own and its not just PCBS its pretty much every game I own Except TF2 and Gmod for some reason. I know my pc is capable of running every game I own but either it just freezes or crashes when I try to load them up. I've tried everything: disabling my virus protection, deleting and reinstalling the game, installing new drivers, and verifying game files. A few months before October 2021 my Boot drive got corrupted and I didn't want to risk breaking my pc anymore so I got someone to install a new drive (I'm not sure if that's important but I wanted to include it anyway). When I first got it, it was an amazing pc. It was able to run games like PCBS, Payday 2, GTA 5, and even Forza Horizon 4 beautifully. I did upgrade my ram with a new 8gb stick a along with a single fan aio a few months ago. But ever since the repair and "upgrade" my pc has been an irritating piece of garbage and it is getting on my last nerve. Please help me I just want to play my favorite games Specs: -Ryzen 5 2600- CPU -PNY GeForce GTX 1660- GPU -OLOy 16gb (2x8gb) 3000 MHz- RAM -Gigabyte P550B 550W 80+ Bronze- PSU -ASRock A320m a/c- MOBO -ADATA 256gb- BOOT `SSD -Seagate Barracuda 2tb- HDD -aigo AC120- CPU COOLER

Whenever I try to boot up rainbow 6, it only shows up on my other display. Since I am on a gaming laptop with a good internal display, I want to play on this one. Even if I window it and move it over then full-screen it. It just goes back to the other screen. Or if I do windows + shift(or control cant remember rn) + left/right, nothing happens. I see that the display adpters say that internal screen is using the integrated intel graphics and my second monitor is using my rtz 2070 but I can't figure out how to change it. I have no updates for drivers, windows, games, or even game launchers. Help please!!!

So I’ve recently purchased a phanteks neon rgb strip (http://www.phanteks.com/Neon.html), however my motherboard doesn’t have an rgb header (Asus z370p). Since these are aura sync compatible is their any sort of rgb controller I can get which allows me to use the aura sync software.

Can an Aegis B60 vap run doom, the answer I have right now is maybe, I mean we've gotten doom to run on a bunch of weird stuff. Here I am today to find out what is or isn't possible before I dive in and try to figure this out, so the manufacturer said it has no memory for running games and that it's firmware is on a chipset. So I'm thinking maybe a highly custom firmware that basically just has a doom port on it, or I rip it apart and modify it the way they did the pregnancy test and lcd screen. Now I know if we do that it's basically guaranteed to work, what I want to try to do is get doom on it and keep the vape itself working. Any ideas or advice appreciated because I'll admit I need to do more research before even attempting to upload anything to it's chipset or modifying it. The people at geekvape advised against this obviously but, they did give me some helpful information on their device and advised against hacking into it or loading on third party firmware, but they also told me to factory reset it if need be to get it back to its old self. So I see this as a we don't recommend it but want to see it response

I bought a Sennheiser Game One and after I reset discord audio settings the sound in the headphones was only coming out of one side the I spun the cable and then It went to normal except for the mic. the mic makes an awful noise when you monitor the output it is a really bad electrical high pitch noise. I uninstalled the driver and reinstalled it and nothing I do fixes it. I don't know if it is a hard issue or software.

I was updating Nvidia Geforcce and right before it finished my computer froze and blue screened. I have tried everything to start windows in safe mode and nothing has worked so I was going to just do a fresh install of windows but when I run the boot media on my USB it shows that my SSD is unallocated now. My SSD it about 3 years old so is it just dead and time to move on? or is there a way to salvage it? Thanks!

For some reason I appear to be having these random files generate on my secondary HDD. Most of them appear to be empty however some of them contain a file with the extension .file that I can't open. I am able to remove these folders with no problem but they show up again after a little while. Are these some sort of windows config files? Thanks for any help.

Hello everyone Today I went out and bought my very first ssd. It is a WD Green 120gb SSD. I bought this for the sole purpose of having my os on it. I uninstalled a lot of my games from the programs folder so that I could copy it over (I know right. Saving games and programs under program filesx86. Im sorry) anyways I used Easeus Todo PCTrans and I cloned the hdd to the ssd. I got it working and the transfer was a success. So I then proceeded to reboot my pc and unplug the hdd and make the ssd the boot option number uno. But it wasnt picking up that I had an os on that drive. I got super scared so I powered it down and put the hdd back in and removed the ssd, I powered it on and the hdd wasnt working. I have since got the hdd working but I would like to get the ssd working. Thanks in advance if you can help Joshua

Hi. I recently built my PC and I've been having issues with my hardware disconnecting from my PC while I'm gaming. When I start playing every few minutes the screen flashes to black for about a second. After about an hour, the monitor loses connection with my PC, as does my keyboard and mouse. When it happens, I can still hear the sound but when I alt+f4, the sound keeps playing. Here is my PCPartPicker list. Any help would be greatly appreicated.
