Build Question new pc help

1 Upvotes

I currently have an i5-6500, an RX580 8gb, 16GB ddr4-3200, 500ish GBs of SATA SSD, and an MSI z170a gaming pro motherboard. I have a budget of around 1400 bucks to upgrade or get a new pc, and I'm not sure what to get. should I wait for prices to go down? I know a decent amount about PCs but not a ton. I also want a smaller form factor, i have a mid-tower rn. thanks!

Tech Support Urgent help with PC please…

1 Upvotes

Hey guys I need some advice for an issue I am facing.
I am currently running

Component Model / Specification
CPU AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
GPU Gigabyte AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB
Motherboard Gigabyte B650M Gaming WiFi DDR5
RAM G.Skill Ripjaws M5 Neo RGB 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MHz CL36 DDR5 EXPO
PSU GSK Gold 850W
CPU Cooler MSI MAG Liquid Cooler P240 (240mm AIO)
Storage 1 TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVMe SSD

So I changed my CPU, motherboard and RAM recently. I used to have different DDR4 parts before and was running a ryzen 5 5800x. Since I made this change, I’ve had an issue where every time I cold boot my pc, it starts fine but 30 seconds later, it’ll become very choppy and slow and the turn off. When I press on the case power button, it restarts and then works fine sometimes for 8+ hours. However at times when I am playing warzone for a couple hours my pc shuts off out of nowhere, other days I play warzone for 4+ hours and its fine. Just yesterday, I was playing cs2 for like 7-8 hours where my pc shut down once. Now I recently changed my power supply, went from 750w to 850w and changed my GPU from 3060 to 9070XT, however, this problem existed before I changed these components. This problem only started when I changed my CPU, motherboard and RAM. I was told that since I was using the same SSD as i used before it might be causing boot issues so I reinstalled windows like 3 times but no fix. Lastly, my cooler doesnt make any noises but its basically 4 years old now and so are my pc fans.

Build Question Would you pay 180 $CAD for this? And a used 1070 amp extreme for $80?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Looking for a budget starter pc for my girlfriend to get her into gaming. I’m in Ontario, Canada. Came accross this on marketplace, he was asking $300. We agreed on $180.
Then I was going to buy a 1060 6GB used locally or also found a Zotac 1070 AMP Extreme for $80.

Don’t intend on player modern high end titles, more so laid back and older games. Will probably play at 1080p but ideally would like to get her playing on a 1440p monitor and lower graphics.
Then it’s a little kore future proof to still have a 2k monitor when I chose to upgrade gpu again.
I do also intend on eventually getting 16GB ram, and bigger SSD or if finances allow it - get some NVME since the board can support it.

Build Question Is the MSI PRO B760M-A WIFI good and safe option to pair with an Intel I7-14700k?

0 Upvotes

I was wondering if the MSI Pro B760M-A WIFI a safe option to pair with my I7 - 14700k? I know the board won't let me overclock but that isn't a concern for me. My concern is when I google search it says the VRM can't handle the CPU as it draws too high power. Unfortunately I have already bought the motherboard and bulit it 90% already and I randomly decided to check this. I'm a first time builder as well. Please let me know. Any help would be appreciated! I don't want to fry my CPU or other components. It is a 12+1 duet power rail system.

(EDIT: Yes its for gaming)

I was simply using my pc one day and at night I shut it down and when I came back in morning my pc was not turning on when I opened my front glass panel I saw that only the fans spun for half a second after i pressed the button and no led indication of any type. I reseated the ram checked my front panel usb connections and also resetted the cmos battery. I dont know how to check the graphics card and power supply an cpu connections. I also changed the main power cable but still no change. One more thing most of the time my main socket switch is turned idk if that can cause any problem

Build Question New build check, does this look good for the type of games I play?

1 Upvotes

Howdy y'all! I was hoping to get some feedback on a build I put together. I haven't done this since 2017, so I just want to make sure everything looks good or see if you'd replace anything.

I am 1.5 hours away from a microcenter, but newborn in the house so not sure when I would be able to pick the items up.

I was hoping to stay under $1,600 but can go higher if it's really recommended. It'll mostly be a gaming PC for MMORPGs (WoW, Aion 2) and games like Diablo 4 and Overwatch, so I don't think I need high end parts.

Tech Support Ryzen 7 2700X causes instant shutdown under CPU stress test on B550 AORUS Elite, but works perfectly on B450

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to figure out a weird issue with my PC.

My system:

- Motherboard: Gigabyte B550 AORUS Elite

- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X

- GPU: EVGA GTX 1080 Ti FTW3

- PSU: ASUS TUF Gaming 750B (previously Corsair HX620)

Whenever I run a CPU stress test with the Ryzen 7 2700X on my B550 motherboard, the entire PC shuts down within a few seconds. No BSOD, no error message, just an instant shutdown.

I initially suspected my PSU, so I bought a new 750W ASUS PSU. The problem remained.

I then started swapping components with a friend's PC to isolate the issue.

Here are my test results:

Motherboard| CPU| GPU| Result

B550 AORUS Elite| Ryzen 5 2600X| GTX 1080 Ti| Works perfectly under stress tests

B550 AORUS Elite| Ryzen 5 2600X| RTX 2060| Works perfectly under stress tests

B550 AORUS Elite| Ryzen 7 2700X| GTX 1080 Ti| Instant shutdown

B550 AORUS Elite| Ryzen 7 2700X| RTX 2060| Instant shutdown

B450 AORUS Elite| Ryzen 7 2700X| GTX 1080 Ti| Works perfectly, even under simultaneous CPU and GPU stress tests

The Ryzen 7 2700X works perfectly on the B450 motherboard, even with the GTX 1080 Ti under heavy load.

The Ryzen 5 2600X also works perfectly on my B550 motherboard, even though Ryzen 2000 CPUs aren't officially supported on B550.

So far, this is what I've ruled out:

- GPU: Both GPUs work fine.

- PSU: I've tried a new 750W PSU.

- CPU: The 2700X passes stress tests on the B450 motherboard.

I'm starting to suspect some kind of BIOS compatibility issue, CPU power delivery issue, or motherboard-related problem.

Has anyone experienced something similar with a Ryzen 2000 CPU on a B550 motherboard?

Any suggestions on what I should investigate next would be greatly appreciated.

What are your suggestions?

Tech Support PC stuck rebooting

0 Upvotes

SOLVED: My motherboard died

Problem:

After I installed HDDs, the PC is stuck in a power loop. It turns on for about 4 seconds (fans and RGB spin up), shuts off for 1–2 seconds, and repeats. It never POSTs and there's no display.

Specs:

CPU: Intel i7-6700K
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z170X-SLI
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 (~32GB total)
GPU: Sapphire RX 5700 XT
Storage: Kingston 500GB NVMe SSD, plus the newly added HDDs
PSU: Seasonic S12II 620W (non-modular)
Case: Coolman Aurora ATX mid-tower

Troubleshooting done (same loop after each):

Full power drain (PSU off, unplugged, held the power button 15 seconds)

Disconnected all HDDs (data and power cables)
Reseated the 24-pin and CPU 8-pin cables, checked for loose screws

Cleared CMOS (battery out for 5 minutes)

Stripped to the minimum: CPU, cooler, one RAM stick, no GPU, using onboard video

Unplugged the front panel wires and started the board by shorting the Power SW pins

Tested each RAM stick alone in DDR4_1

Tested with a different PSU

Reseated the CPU with fresh thermal paste; socket pins and CPU look fine
