Hi I have just built my first PC and I have run into an issue where my NVME SSD, SATA SSD, and boot media an a usb drive are being seen my the BIOS but it will not list them as bootable drives. I have tried a new cable for the SATA drive and I tried reinstalling the NVME drive but am still having the same issue. I am a bit of a loss as to what the next possible steps are to troubleshoot this are. I have very little knowledge about working and troubleshooting in a BIOS so any inshight or help would be much appreciated. I am using a ROG B550 gaming-f motherboard with a

Hi, I'm getting this weird issue. Does cold affect the power cable restricting the PC to Turn on? This is happening for the second time, the first time I simply replaced the power cable (a week ago). but this time again, when I start my computer in the morning, it does NOT turn on. If I change the power cable to the new one it works and after that, if I put the old power cable back, it starts working. Power Supply is Gigabyte P550B 80 PLUS Bronze Certified 550W Power Supply.

So, I have a Samsung 250gb M.2 with windows installed, and the only way I can boot into it is boot manager (I obviously no longer want to do this because I only have 1 OS) Everytime i try to boot into it like a normal person, I get the "Please restart and select a proper boot device" screen. The drive is currently the only drive installed, there are no USBs plugged in, and its set up properly in the bios for priority, I even tried resetting the bios and clearing CMOS. I'm at a loss.. -
Hey guys, I need help trouble shooting my old PC so a friend can use it. When powered on, the fans and lights will turn on but nothing is displayed on the monitor. I used to be able to solve this by unplugging everything from the computer and plugging it back in but that doesn't work anymore. Anyone know what could be the issue? He has $200 to upgrade/fix it and I don't want to tell him to get the wrong new part. Would it be a good idea to get one of those PCI diagnostic analyzer cards? Here's what it has inside: AMD FX-8350 XFX Radeon R9 270X Asus Crosshair V

Hi guys I have a pc built in 2015 with the following specs: Intel core i7 5820k, msi x99a motherboard, gigabyte g1 980 ti and a corsair h110i cpu cooler. When I turned on my computer today I noticed that the fans were spinning at a higher rpm than normal at idle. Then my pc became really slow probably due to overheating and then it shutdown. When I turned it on again it only stayed on for 20 seconds giving me enough time to reach the bios and see that cpu temps were at 97 degrees with fan rpms at 0. Strangely enough the fans were running even though it indicated that it was a

Weird Boot bug+ windows update gives D6
FlexedBunny posted a topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Hi guys, So I seem to have a weird problem. Everytime I boot my pc I have to go into the bios to manually boot my windows m.2 drive. I have put it as priority number 1 so that isnt the problem. I have also updated my BIOS incase that wouldve been the problem. But none if it fixed it. I even went as far as reseting the CMOS. But none of it seemed to work. At this point I got tired of it and just started booting manually. But I mean its not supposed to work like that. Its an entire new pc and it should just work normally! I also thought it gave me a problem with my -
I've had this problem once almost a year ago and it now came back, but it seems to persist this time. When i power on my laptop when plugged in (the battery seems to be bacically dead) it sometimes turns on normally and sometimes won't boot. The keyboard lighting will turn on and even responds to me turn it on/off and the power button lights up. But there is no fan spin and the screen stays off, (no backlight) my monitor just says "No signal". It's a almost 4 year old "Lenovo IdeaPad Y700-15ISK (80NV00HMMH)" with an extra 8GB ram stick and 250GB samsung 970 EVO that hav

Hello everyone, I'm sorry about not being too descriptive in the title, but as long as I had contact with computers, I had not had experience with anything resembling this, and I'm at loss as far as words go, plus, I'm really terrified of my PC state, as I *really* need it to more or less survive, now. So, without much more. Specs: Windows 10 Pro. 64 bits. Version 1909. OS Build 18363.535 (I use OOSU to more or less dewindows 10 win 10, that includes shutting automatic updates off.) ASUS PRIME B350M-K (CPU-Z says it's version 5222, so newest one availab

System crashes and overheating after upgrading components
Vatsal_s posted a topic in Troubleshooting
I originally built my system in 2016 with an i5 6600k, Asus Z170-A board and Asus ROG Strix GTX 1080. Decided to upgrade the CPU and GPU recently (see specs below) to get better performance but I've been having many issues since the rebuild. CPU, motherboard and GPU were upgraded, no other components changed and Windows was not reinstalled. Issue 1: PC fails to boot at times with error 0xc000000e, saying that a required device isn't connected or can't be accessed. If I go into bios and exit without making any changes then it boots just fine afterwards. At time the display just does -
I have a RAM kit that is specified at 3000MHz from Corsair. When I run the PC at 2800MHz the PC has no issues whatsoever with turning on, but when I set the RAM to 3000 (or greater) in the BIOS a weird issue happens; the PC wont turn on the first time and on the motherboard the symbol for CPU issue lights up, but if I reboot the PC, straightaway, the PC will turn on with no problems and run the RAM at 3000MHz (or higher e.g. 3200). I am wondering if there is a solution to stop this from happening and allow my PC to turn on normally at the speed of 3000MHz. Parts List: CPU: AMD Ryzen -
Good morning everyone, Newbie post. Hopefully quick one for ya. I built a new pc recently and I'm not sure if it's start up process is correct or something is a miss. Asus x470 pro, ryzen 7 2700x, Trident royal 3600 mhz 16g, stock cooler. The pc will start for a second, stop, wait a few seconds and then suddenly boot up just fine. This only happens when the power supply has been switched off. If power supply is left on, the pc will boot right away. I tried clicking ram back in, ram testing, swapped psu, tested to make sure all hook ups were seated correctly. The on

About a month ago I started getting this black screen (see attacked image) upon booting my computer. Since then almost everytime I boot my computer I run into this issue. I contacted MSI as I thought the problem was the MB and after many back and fourths they decided that they couldn't help me. Essentially they just told me to update my MB, which I did (no prevail). The reason that I thought the issue was with the MB in the first place is that after passing the boot screen and loading into windows the date and time would be wrong (it would display the date and time of whenever I turned the PC -
I'm wondering if someone on here came across this issue; about 6 months ago my 980Ti blew its capacitors. After that I thought I smelled burning from the PSU (this may have been from an outside bonfire fuelled by my concern following the recent hardware failure and not the PSU...). Anyway thankfully it was an EVGA so I got that replaced under warranty just to be safe. Since then (and I think a bit before the PSU replacement though I can't quite remember), I've been finding that my PC won't boot unless I switch the PSU off and on. If I do that, it boots first time, every time. Other

So a friend brought me their pc to fix and I’ve come to a stand still. It’s an old prebuilt hp (AMD Vision, Windows 7, 4gb ddr3, Radeon gpu). He said it doesn’t give a display signal, all the fans and lights come on and HDD spins though. So I tried the usual, ie different gpu, different ram, doing a full reboot, unplugging and plugging stuff back in, trying all of the video outs available, and of course making sure my monitor, and cables were working. Nothing worked, I then thought maybe mobo, so I took out all the ram expecting to get a beep code from the mobo, nothing

Hello Everyone. I am a hardware guy to the core so software is my biggest weak point. My PC won't boot to windows 10. When I turn the PC on it will go to a black screen with a flashing cursor. I tried changing the boot order, didn't work. I turned off all overclocks on my cpu and memory. Any other ideas on what I should do guys?

Good evening Ladies and Gents. First time posting in the forums. Just a quick post to see if anyone has had a similar issue with a Tyan 7010 (ex-supermicro server) board. I have just torn out my dual xeon motherboard with dual xeon E5645's, 64GB ECC Memory and a few other bits and pieces and installed into a 900D case, as the 2U form factor was ridiculously loud. After re-testing & rebuilding, everything started fine with a Win 10 boot SSD, and after loading a few drivers etc, all seemed well. But... after about 45 mins, the OS froze. I then ungracefu

I just acquired a used full computer and a mother board, cpu, ram combo recently. I loaded the computer currently running unbuntu on an ssd. Everything loaded perfect no issues on the completed computer. The issue comes with the motherboard combo I got. I plugged in all the basics (monitor, keyboard, mouse). I used the ssd from the completed build knowing the ssd is working thought it would be a good test. The operating system starts up and when it prompts the message to start unbuntu or do a memory test it resets. I cannot get past the unbuntu prompt. I ran a memory test and that passed. I'v

Hi, I've done a little research before I started this topic but I haven't found the case that would be the same as mine. So, last night I moved my old PC to a new case. Not my first PC disassembled and assembled again in my life so just so you know - I did it safely. After that I turned on my PC to see how it works and if everything works fine (front usb panel etc.) Everything went smoothly, but after I pushed a reset button to test it Windows started and I saw a BSOD with some error about not bootable device and the QR code. I decided to tur

Hello fine people of LTT land, My Samsung S6 was working fine last night, and then randomly booted, i wasn't paying too much attention as i was playing R6 siege on my PC so i just assumed it died due to lack of power so i grabbed my phone put it on charge and thought nothing of it. after i was done gaming and came back it was still on that screen so i restarted my phone (thinking it had just crashed) once it had restarted it went to the charger icon (as if it had died due to no power) it was showing a lightening bolt but no signs of it actually charging a stagnant screen. when i re -
Hello, so I was gaming on my PC one night, shut down down just fine that night, came back the next night and my PC wouldn't start up. All fans and lights would come on for a split second then it would go off, I would have to turn off and on my PSU to try again and the same thing would happen. I started troubleshooting. 1. Checked every single wire (including the 24 pin and secondary CPU power cable) no luck 2. Did a bread board build on a box, motherboard, CPU, psu booted just fine, added ram one by 1, booted fine, added graphics card and the same issue occurred. 3. I swapped out the

Hello all!, I've run into a considerably difficult problem and have so far been unable to fix it. So I've not used this system in a few weeks and I went to boot it up the other day and was met with 'windows failed to start a recent hardware of software change might be the cause' with the status being 0x000000f. So I set up a bootable USB with windows 10 on it in order to repair the OS. This, however, was not effective as it stated it could not find any errors. After this, I tried all the online 'fixes' to this through the CMD prompt in the iso USB and this also failed
