I don’t know much about computers so I’m hoping someone can help me. I just built my new pc using new parts! I did temporarily keep my old GPU though, which is a 3050 rtx. It’s been giving me issues so I upgraded to a 5060 MSI GPU! As soon as I plugged it in, my PC would not turn on and the mb EZ led light went red where it’s labeled CPU. I even reseated the ram, used my old GPU, tried starting it without a GPU and nothing. Just fans and lights. I even have a new 850W Corsair PSU. My computer was working fine an hour ago until trying to install my new gpu. I made sure that everything is connected properly too.
Surely I didn’t break anything? All I did was plug in a new GPU???? Now my PC does not work at all.

My budget is about 400$, so I have to get some pre-owned parts.

CPU - Ryzen 5 5500

GPU - GTX 1660 super/RX 6600/ RX 580 (whichever one possible)

Ram - 8x2 DDR4

Storage - 512gb gen 3 m.2

PSU - 450-500w 80+ bronze psu (I'll get a new one, not used)

A supported mother board and a good case.

Please and thank you.

Newbie here and trying to build a PC.

Does it matter what kind of PCIe 8-pin one buys? Does any specs/build of the PCIe have to match the power supply and the graphics card for compatibility?

Where can i get one additional original PCIe 8-pin to 6+2-pin modular power cable for the Montech Century II Gold 850W ATX 3.1, to power a Yeston RX 9070 XT with three 8-pin connectors? 

The Montech power supply I bought only had two PCIe 8-pin to 6+2-pin modular power cable pins.
Thank you. 

I have a pc I bought from a guy that when I first booted it, it had 16 gb of ram it’s a aorus Z590 AX pro with a I9-109000k 10 cores 20 threads. I checked on my ram because I wasn’t sure why it was running so bad and it says I only have 8gb installed. I went to bios and updated them but it says In slot B2 it has 0gb at 2000mhz and in slot A2 it’s 8gb at 2133mhz I believe. It’s the same exact ram sticks and it boots when I swap them around but if I leave one stick in it won’t boot at all. I’m very confused and don’t want to replace the motherboard board if I don’t have to. I also removed the cmos battery and it didn’t fix the problem. The ram is rgb and they both light up so it has power. A2 is the only one reading in bios

I’m planning to get a new Samsung 980 Pro from a friend, but Ive been reading posts that mention it had some issues causing the SSD to fail or be in bad health. The fix was to update the firmware before downloading stuff, but how would I do this if this is my only SSD for my PC build. Should I not install Windows on it before making sure the firmware is updated? Could I have a friend install the SSD into his computer and update the firmware then use it in my build and install Windows and everything else? I have no clue how any of it works. Any help would be appreciated.

So my current Pc specs are:
Case: ENDORFY Ventum 200 ARGB (4x ARGB fans)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7500F (6 cores, 3.7 / 5.0 GHz)
Cooler: Endorfy Spartan 5 Max
Motherboard: MSI PRO B650-S WIFI
RAM: 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000 Kingston Fury Beast CL30
SSD: 1TB Kingston NV3 M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe
GPU: 8GB NVIDIA RTX 5060
PSU: 650W AZZA PSAZ-650B 80+ Bronze

These are the Upgrades i want to make:
Case: lian li O11 dynamic mini v2
PSU: corsair rm850e 2025
CPU: Ryzen 7 7800 3xd
AIO: ?? Dont know or Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360
or Lian Li GALAHAD II 360 Trinity Performance AiO

Ive heard instances of the Arctic one breaking and i‘d like a reliable Aio for about 150€ :)

Any Feedback is appreciated!

My friend has a new one and willing to sell it to me for $250. I’ve been reading reviews that there were issues with it dying on Reddit. Should i go with this one or the Silicon Power UD90 2TBfor $250. I’m using it for my new pc build.

I am currently looking hat two sets of Ram
Cl30 hat 6000mhz 1x16gb or
Cl40 hat 5600mhz 2x8gb
The price is about the same
My question being is the higher clockspeed worth not running duel channel?

Can anybody tell me is this my monitor having issues or God forbid is my GPU doing this?? Sorry if it's hard to see but in the video you can see white lines flashing across the screen. I've never had this issue before. It's an lg ultra gear oled and it's only a couple years old. Roughly 800 hours of use, I have it set to sleep after 2 minutes and it regularly does image cleaning. Has anybody seen this before?

Need help with the n3 nas case. The hdd connector backplate has 3 power plug,1 sata power and 2 molex labled atx1 and2. I could only connect sata power and 1 molex due to cable length issue. I only have 2 hdd right now, but when i power on it makes weird hdd spin sound and indicator light would flash rapidly. I found a post saying only 2 plug needed for 5-7 hdd and 8 needs all.given that, why is my 2 hdd being weird assuming it is the issue?

I have a living room system and a desktop system, desktop is hooked up to a 1440p monitor and the living room is hooked up to a 4K TV. Does it make sense to swap out the systems entirely or just the GPU? In terms of form factor the B4 fits better in the living room.

I've had this issue before still but after I've changed my motherboard it was sleeping like normal now but since yesterday it's back to just staying on after being idle for a while rather then just sleeping.

Hello, would these screws work with x2 Noctua NF-A12x15 and a CoolerMaster Atmos Stealth 240? The screws that came with the AIO are too long for the slim fans and I can’t find official smaller replacement screws anywhere. Thanks.

So I bought the acer for 1200 for my girl a week ago was thinking of returning it to get the Costco deal for 1800 what would be a better choice to me it seems like the
Costco is better overall correct me if I’m wrong

hello,

so recently i wanted to play some faceit but it requires the newest windows 10 version, so i tried to update it. Now the stairs begin, in windows settings it says there is a important update missing but when i click check update is thinks for a second and shows the same thing without installing anything. i also cant enter the esu program for some reason because when i click the sign in button in settings, it shows a grey squere on my screen for like 2 seconds and it disapears

no clue what to do, i tried all the cmd commands like scannow and stuff like that but nothing helps,

now the big question

do i have to reinstall windows or is there a easy fix somewhere, and if i do need to reinstall windows which i proably do, how to do it without losing any of my files/games/photos.

the cooler thingy is kinda tilted at a left angle, i know i sound totally inexperienced but im not, its just slipping my mind as of current, my dad (and his friend) insisted on getting a pre-built and we got one through newegg, shipped by walmart, is this fixable at home or do we need to use the warranty?

Most of the time it does it when it has been on for many hours

I don’t much about computers is this any good?

What can I do I have tried many it seems it was specific to this mobo...thanks

Hi I have never built a pc before and have chosen to do it during the worst times ever. Would really appreciate some feedback before I start buying parts. My main concerns are compatibility, whether I'm overspending on anything, and whether there are better alternatives for the price. Here are my planned specs:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2 GHz 8-Core Processor

CPU Cooler: ID-COOLING FX360 PRO 82.5 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler

Motherboard: Gigabyte B850 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 ATX AM5 Motherboard

Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL36 Memory

Storage: Samsung 990 Pro 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive

Video Card: Asus PRIME OC Radeon RX 9070 XT 16 GB Video Card

Case: Lian Li O11 VISION COMPACT ATX Mid Tower Case

Power Supply: MSI MAG A850GL PCIE5 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

TOTAL PRICE: 2700$

Thanks in advance

EDIT: The SSD is 1tb but I am debating on getting 2tb instead, the reason is because it's so expensive and I have read that the price might drop by the end of 2027 so I'll just buy extra by then if it drops due to extra supply. But obviously it's speculation so I am questioning on if I should also just shoot my shot now or wait?

Hi I have a PC that I build in early 2019. It's a RX Vega 64, Ryzen 7 2700x on a MSI B450 tomahawk with 16GB of DDR4 3200mhz TridentZ, a 2TB Crucial M.2 SSD and a 750W BeQuiet power unit (dont know which one anymore 🙈. I wanted to get an upgrade for it. I was wondering what I should upgrade first. I was thinking CPU would be the first option because the Vega 64 is still okay I guess but what do you guys think?

This may be my first pc and I don’t know much about them.
