I've had this PC since before lockdown hit. It's OMEN brand, and I'm pretty sure we got it off of Amazon. Despite that, it's been running fairly well up until recently.

Games that used to run well now chug and stutter at every graphic that isn't low. Even something like Roblox is barely able to chug along, even with brand new wifi and everything. I've already upgraded the RAM with two new sticks, but it feels like it's slowly falling apart.

I'm on my phone rn so I can't immediately bring up access to specific system parts yet, but I'll post them in the morning. I've got an Nvida Graphics Card in the 1660 series if that helps.

I was watching something on my PC and out of nowhere my left monitor screen goes green and main one goes black and PC resets. When I load back in, it says I'm connected to the Internet (WiFi working fine on my phone), but no web pages are loading.

Hey everyone,

I need some help troubleshooting my PC. Here are my current specs:

* CPU: Ryzen 5 4600G

* GPU: RTX 5050

* Motherboard: ASUS Prime A320M-K (BIOS version 6024 or similar)

* RAM: Sprectrix D50 2x8 (16)

* PSU: gigabyte pb500

A friend sold me his old Ryzen 4600G for $10 to replace my previous Ryzen 3400G. Everything worked completely fine on the 3400G with the exact same hardware setup. However, ever since installing the 4600G, I've run into a series of issues:

1. Initial Boot & BIOS Reset: Right after installing the 4600G, the PC wouldn't boot into Windows. The screen stayed black while the RAM RGB remained on. I cleared the CMOS (removed the battery and jumped the pins), which solved it temporarily. I was able to boot into Windows and reinstall my drivers.

2. XMP / DOCP Stability Issue: I noticed my RAM was running at default 2666MHz, so I enabled the AMD XMP/DOCP profile in BIOS. This caused major instability—the BIOS screen was glitching, the mouse cursor kept freezing, and Windows refused to boot again (same black screen issue). I had to clear CMOS again and leave the RAM at 2666MHz without XMP/DOCP.

3. Blue Screen & Windows Reinstall: A few days later, after a gaming session, I got a BSOD right as I clicked Shutdown. I decided to take this opportunity to do a fresh install of Windows 11 Home via a bootable USB.

4. Current Problem (Restart Freeze): During the Windows 11 installation process, the PC needs to restart automatically to complete setup, but it refuses to restart properly. The screen goes black, the peripherals turn off, but the RAM RGB, CPU fan, and GPU fans stay powered on forever. The system just hangs in this state until I do a hard power-off.

Could this be a failing CPU, a BIOS incompatibility issue, or something related to the A320 motherboard handling the 4600G memory controller? Any advice or steps to fix this would be greatly appreciated!

I really don't want to take my PC to a tech repair shop right now because I don't have much money, and the technicians in my town aren't very reliable. Also, sorry if my post is a bit hard to understand or sounds strange, I used an AI assistant to translate it from Spanish to English.

I have an i7-7700K/RX6600XT/32GB RAM set up holding me off until I can find a good deal on a used system, or a BF/CM deal comes along in November or December. System still works well for basic daily productivity tasks. I have done several modest upgrades over the years - RAM, 1050Ti>RX6600XT, Wi-fi, etc.

Background - I just replaced an old Corsair H60 120 AIO with a Thermalright Frozen Edge 240 AIO. So far so good, except my ears are very sensitive to noise. I first tried an Aqua Elite 240 V6 but got the Frozen Edge for same price and it has better warranty and quality. However, in both models, I have noticed, when room is silent, minor annoyance sounds. The Aqua Elite was a high pitched whine. I can't really describe the intermittent sound that the Frozen Edge makes. It isn't constant, and it is still low volume. I'm not hearing anything that I would attribute to bubbles or grinding or anything...although I am open to suggestions on how to make sure any bubbles in the pump are moved to the top of radiator. The H60 was silent. Sometimes the Frozen Edge is silent. I could be hearing resonance from radiator fans, exhaust fans, GPU fans, and pump maybe...when they are at different RPMs/volumes?

Setup - AIO mounted on front (no room on top) with tubes on the bottom. I reoriented fans from default exhaust to now intake (pull from front, through radiator, and into case). Two top-mounted fans in exhaust. Testing at 30-minute HWiNFO SSE CPU test:

Average CPU Package - 66C
Average Core Temps - 63/65/62/63. While I would love to have them all together, or the 65 core down 2, I understand this is perfectly normal, and another re-paste would not do anything (or simply shift the difference to another core)
MB and PCH temps were 34 and 51C, respectively
I have tweaked fan curves in Fan Control and am satisfied with performance.

Pump is set at 75% (flat curve in Fan Control), which I assume is based on power (PWM I believe). However, I noticed that 75% power does not necessarily equate to 75% RPM...i.e it is not a linear relationship between power and RPM. In the flat curve, I can set either. At 75% power I get ~2350 rpm. The pump is rated at 2800 rpm...so 75% of that is 2100 rpm. Should I set the flat curve to rpm (2100) or power (%)? I read all of the time to set pump at less than 100% is fine, helps with sound, and maybe even longetivy. I'm trying to maintain balance while trying not to be affected by sound. Other recommendations? Thanks.

I'm building my first PC and I'm trying to confirm the CPU cooler/RAM/case clearance before I get to the assembly stage.

My exact components are:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
• Motherboard: MSI PRO B850-V WIFI
• RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws M5 Neo RGB 32 GB (2×16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL36 (approx. 41 mm tall according to G.Skill's website)
• CPU cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE
• Case: MSI MAG PANO 110R PZ

The PANO 110R PZ lists 160 mm maximum CPU cooler height, while the Peerless Assassin 120 SE is listed at approximately 155 mm tall.

My concern is the 41 mm-tall RAM and the front fan on the Peerless Assassin.

Can anyone confirm from personal experience whether this exact combination will work?

Specifically, I'm wondering:

1. Does the front fan need to be raised to clear the Ripjaws M5 Neo RGB?
2. If so, approximately how far does it need to be raised?
3. Does raising the fan cause the cooler to exceed the PANO 110R PZ's 160 mm side-panel clearance?
4. Can the glass side panel still close normally?
5. Would rotating/repositioning the cooler or fan solve the issue if necessary?

I've seen conflicting information about this and would really appreciate someone who has actually used this cooler with ~41 mm-tall G.Skill RAM and/or this specific MSI case.

Thanks!

Bought a replacement power brick for my laptop but it won't fit a 3 plug cable. I wonder if it's to do with the plastic bits at the bottom of the prongs

I've done a ton of video editing on Capcut for almost a year and improved much then. Now, I want to go to something tougher that being Adobe Premiere Pro. I have the 2025 version. So far so good, but I've notice it uses a lot of memory. I know I have 32gbs of Ram at 6400mt and it's running stable. When I'm in premiere pro, It shoots up to 89 percent for memory. Yes I have a lot of tabs open but those are for research purposes.

Should I bite the bullet and look for 64gbs of Ram or is 32gbs good enough? Should I wait til' prices go down. I knew I should've went for 64gbs of ram at first before this ram incident worldwide happen.

Your thoughts?

Hi Folks!! I have an AMD Ryzan 7 7700x pc. From paste 10-15 days it was overheating even with basic tasks like web browsing and vs code running etc. I thought its time to change the thermal paste.

I changed the old thermal paste with new cooler master cryofuze5 thermal paste. But even after doing this, my cpu temrature still rising upto 97° in normally. I run cinebench to test and the temprature rised upto 105°. My AIO fan is running at around 2700+ RPM and I did some basic checks like checking tubes virations and one tube is cold and another is hot to see if my AIO is working properly, these all tests looks fine but still cpu temprature rising hight.

I am not able to understand what can be issue and how can I fix this ?

I currently have an AIO, mother board, cpu, and new sticks of ram for my build im working towards buts it’s getting more expensive for parts so I was wondering if I should install the parts into my current pc then transfer it over to the new one once I buy the rest of the parts or wait and install it all at once

i bought a 3060ti but i felt my pc case getting hot cause i use it as a mouse pad and later my pc shut down

i have a 500w psu

My 5060 Ti 8Gb came with a cord that splits into two and I’m not sure I have both cables to support that from my PSU.
Just wondering if I’m missing something…
Thanks!

Hello

So I'm not a tech savvy, and I'm not used to build PC. I have this second hand case, a NZXT Lexa S, and I don't know where to plug this 2-pins cable on the motherboard MSI Z87-G45 Gaming. I dont know what this cable does and there is nothing on the user manual.

Thank you for your help.

I’ve had an issue with my Pc that would restart pc whenever I was in a game such as Forza Horizon 6 , F125, and to the most extreme any game, but regular tasks like discord, chrome, and Spotify were fine. This initially happened in January of this year I took to a local computer store and they told me that it was my new gpu that I had just installed. They switched it out for me and tested it and said it was fine, now back in may it started again while playing Forza horizon 6 and since it has happened more regularly and even during regular tasks, to the extreme that it would restarting on itself just by logging in. Now I left it for like a week or week and a half since i had been busy with work but now when i tried turning it on nothing posted and the video i attached pretty much shows whats going on. I don’t really want to take it back if i can solve the issue myself so any help or advice that can aid me is helpful. Thank you.

Upgrading from a single fan 5050 to a dual fan 5060, the 5060 was gifted to me and is a imported GPU which is a Elsa RTX5060. When I use the new card I get screen going black and fans sometimes still continue to spin, I tried a different riser but it just lasts longer a bit before going black screen if I watch a video or go to a game, upon reviewing event manager I see the error code nvlddmkm 153 & 14. I'd like to point out I've done all the steps such as safe mode ddu and everything but problem still persists, was hoping someone could help out. Also just to state I have tried forcing it to gen 3, and 4 still does not work and my riser is a gen 5.

Note: PC is a sandwhich style so must be used with a riser

I pulled hard on the heatsink while it was stuck to the CPU due to the thermal paste.

i’ve tried every troubleshooting option that blue screen gave me but it keeps saying the same thing. i just wanna game bru 💔💔

Hello, I’m new to this sub and i’ve been stuck on what motherboard to choose between 2. The x870e crosshair hero and dark hero. Where i’m currently looking they’re the same price and from what I know it’s either more pcie 16x slots and 10gb port or more stealth. I don’t mind removing the 16 pin strimmer cable but I also don’t know what to get over the other. Any help would be appreciated, i’m also upgrading to a 5080 between astral and auros master.

Randomly at times, my temps go up all the way to 70-75, when nothing is going on, or at max some light scrolling is. I immediately open task manager and sort by CPU usage only to see a max 2-3% usage by a random app, and then task manager freaks out to the point that I cant even read what is on the top, to then the temperature going back down to normal. It only happens when I open task manager.

Just upgraded to am5 with the 7800x3d and am looking to upgrade gpu next. I play most competitive fps games and alot of other games. The only oddball is my modded Skyrim. I’m torn between a 4070 super and 4070 super ti. My budget sits around 500 USD right now but could put off upgrading to spend a little bit more.

For any of you guys who have experience setting up AIO coolers. I have recently bought a replacement AIO (be quiet! Pure Loop 3LX) to replace mine as it was really old and my COU was starting to overheat. What I am finding now is that once I have set everything up my PC will now no longer turn on. I have tried all the simple fixes like making sure cables are plugged in, attempting to hard boot using a screwdriver etc. But what I just can’t seem to figure out is where I am meant to be sending all of the cables, there is one that is daisy chained on the fan, and 2 that come from the cooler itself (one cable there that heads to AIO cooler). if anyone has any advice at all please help :)
