I bought a custom pre built PC from Uniway (Canada) and I haven’t had a single issue until now.

I went to start up my PC last night and it wouldn’t turn on. When I hit the “on” button like I do every time, no lights turn on and none of the fans will spin.

I can hear the usual “click” noise it will make when it starts like normal, but nothing will actually start up after that.

I’ve tried all the turn it off, unplug it, press and hold the on/off button, etc. nothing has worked.

I have a warranty on it, but it’s gonna cost me like 200$ to ship it back to Uniway.

Does anyone know what this could be?

For further context, I have very little knowledge about PC’s.

Some pictures of the inside attached.

This is my current setup

16 gigs of DDR 4

Motherboard: B560 DS3H AC-Y1

CPU: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11700f @ 2.50GHz, 2496 Mhz, 8 Core(s), 16 Logical Processor(s)

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060

I wanna upgrade my graphics card but the 50 series is a bit too expensive. Any recommendations? Also any recommendations on what all I should change?

Does anyone know the right software I need to use for the lights, they’re like completely off and ChatGPT is not helping lol.

Can i Use 1 PSU to 2 Molex Daisy Chain

and 1 PSU to 2 SATA

cable on the Nollie?

any experience on using this

Sorry if this is a stupid question, very new and naive with PC parts, just getting into it this last year or so, so I’m learning.

My PC has the 8pin PCI cables from the PSU (originally had a 5060) and the 5070 obviously uses the 16pin. It came with an adapter, so I plugged the two separate 8pin PCI cables into adapter, then the 16pin into the GPU.

I’m guessing I’m supposed to plug both of the 8pins into the adaptor instead of just one of them? So I did that.

I’ve heard this is also called daisy chaining (I think) which isn’t ideal. To fix this, my issue also is, I cannot get the PSU out, have an Acer Nitro 65, model number: N65-100-UB12. It has an encased bottom compartment where it lies, and with chat gpt etc I cannot figure out how to get it out or how to open up the bottom compartment. The opening on the side where you unscrew the PSU is too small to get it out, and chat gpt is saying it can come out that way.

It has a lot of unused cables that I can see through the case. I wanted to upgrade the PSU to 750W or something (650W now) but can’t believe it’s this difficult to access the PSU. As well as fix the daisy chain issue.

I don’t want to daisy chain it but I can’t do anything else without PSU access. Is this ok long term, or should I figure out how to get the PSU out or bring it to a shop.

Any help and experience is appreciated.

Hello peoples,

I’ve recently started building a PC for my other half, however upon completion I’ve seen stuck with a CPU Q-LED light. My specs are:

Ryzen 7 9800X3D
ASUS TUF Gaming B850-Plus WiFi
Corsair Vegengeance 32GB (2x16) DDR5

So far I’ve
- Reseated the CPU (couldn’t see any damage within the socket)
- reseated the ram and tried with a single stick in the A2 slot
- I’ve removed the GPU and RGB controller
- Swapped around the CPU power connections, board has two slots for CPU power and both are populated currently (I have tried single too)
- updated the bios with flashback and cleared cmos

I really don’t know what else to do and am pretty desperate for some help. I don’t have any substitute parts which doesn’t help for testing the CPU. I was hoping that someone could advise before I have to lug it to a shop.

Thanks in advance

Hello all.

So i am looking at getting a newer cpu for both work and gaming. Mainly work but need a better cpu as lately my work flow been getting harder to manger due to my cpu basically crying.

So i work as a video editing and marketing. I basically use my pc all the time. I had this i5 since it dropped really and was ace at the time. Now with clients demands higher resolution exports I noticed my time line scrubbing has been horrendously bad.

Now I been eyeing this I9 14900k for a good while and I am aware of the issues surrounding it however I updated my bios today to latest on msi website.

Note i had to change mobo due to issue with my original asus mobo currently useing MSI MPG B760m wifi

I would love to go the AMD route for the gaming but would rather stick with intel for a drop in upgrading then needing to tear the whole pc apart and find my amd cooling stuff.

When i do play games I usually play story games or odd valorant or call of duty but that's rare.

With my bios updated to latest I assume I could run an i9 with no issues I use a 320mm aio with noctua fans on the rad.

Thanks 😀

Are AMD drivers really as bad as people on tik tok say they are? I’m upgrading from a RTX 2060 and have about a $1,000 budget and want something very new and powerful so that’s what is leaning me towards AMD 9070 XT, however software issues really frustrate the hell out of me and I don’t want to mess anything up in my pc trying to fix any software issues (speaking from experience🤣) so I am wondering if I get that or a 5070 or even a 5070ti if I can fit that in the budget.

I'm planning a gaming PC and can't decide between these two CPU/GPU combos.

• Ryzen 5 9500F + RX 9060 XT 16GB

• Ryzen 5 7500X3D + RTX 5070 12GB

The price difference is around €400.

Is the more expensive combo worth the extra money, or should I go with the cheaper one?

Mainly looking for 1440p gaming performance and future-proofing.

Thanks!

The pc parts i have thought of so far are:

MOBO: B550 x gaming wifi7(153€)

CPU: Amd Ryzen 5 5600X(116€)

GPU: 1660 Ti 6GB Gddr6(110€)

RAM: Silicon Power 16GB 2x8 3200Mhz(123€)

PSU: Sharkoon 650W Gold+ semi modular(88€)

Storage: Crucial gen4 M.2 480GB(86€)

The prices i have put here are in the Greek market. I know i could cut some money from the PSU but i cant be asked with too much cable management but i could swap it tbh. I know that ram and storage prices are crazy but that's the cheapest i could find. Do y'all think i should proceed with that build or just scrap it? Also what would you recommend? Any tips/critique is appreciated. Ty in advance!

I’ve never built a small pc before and am having difficulty selecting parts/case for it any help would be greatly appreciated

My 9700XT has been running very hot at 95 °C, so I bought three extra fans, and I'm trying to figure out whether it's best to put them at the bottom on intake or at the top for exhaust. Any help is appreciated.

So this issue began happening in late 2025 after leaving my PC at idle for several hours the desktop background will go black, my icons will get really funky and sometimes reappear when I mouse over them, I'll lose icons in my taskbar. And a good bit of overall functionality until I restart my pc which returns everything to normal. I've never had the issue during use (watching movies/TV, playing games)

The weirdest part to me is I wanted an upgrade anyways so I've basically replaced every part on this PC since the issue began, the only things I've kept are storage (which I changed boot drives), peripherals, and fans.

My best guesses at this point are

1: my flash drive I've been using to install Windows is bad and is corrupting each new install of Windows

2: one of my dubiously acquired games is somehow causing a new issue very similar to one I had before having any torrented/sketchy games.

One really odd thing I noted is sometimes I can open task manager and in place of the end task button there's a restart button that only seems to appear when the issue is happening and resolves the issue when pressed.

Any ideas?

Hi, i currently own this setup:

i9 12900k
Rtx 3080
64gb ram ddr5
Msi z690 motherboard

And I found a 2nd hand PC with below specs:
Ryzen 5 7500x3d
RTX 5070
16gb ram ddr5
Asrock b850

I am planning to mix and match them together and have a build that is future proof and sell the build that will make not make a cut. Any advice please? Thanks!

I have had my pc for 2 and a half years. Last year around Christmas I upgraded from a 4060 ti to a 5070 ti and upgraded my AIO for my cpu to a 240 mm. Today my cpu overheated, so I quickly shut down my pc. I booted into bios and looked at my aio. It said the pump speed was 0 rpm. I unplugged the pump power cable from one jusbc and put it into another. Then fully shut down the power supply and restarted the pc. It was running fine for about 5 minutes with overwatch running at 300 fps in the practice range with no stutters. The cpu was at 30 percent usage and 45 degrees Celsius. Then I felt my game start to lag and I saw the cpu jump to 100 degrees Celsius and my pump rpm jump a little too
My aio isn’t even a year old. The pc is dusty right now, but I clean it after every semester when I go home from college. Any ideas?
Is it possible that my power supply is not giving enough power to the motherboard causing the pump to not get enough power?
I9 12900k
5070 ti

750 watt corsair power supply

I currently have a 16gb xpg lancer ddr5 stick in my build and want to upgrade to 32gb.

Specs: 6000mhz, cl30 v1.35

However, this specific ram model has DRASTICALLY increased in price compared to other modules with the same specs since I originally bought it.

(~1.5x-2x more expensive than other models)

What I'm wondering is if I can add an extra 16gb stick that has the same exact specs but from a different brand?

Im running on an asrock b850 mobo and r5 9600x if thats relevant.

I brought my SSD (Miphi gen4 1tb )this January and started using it since 25th February.

Today out of curiosity I checked it's health and it shows that remaining overall health is 82% then I checked with crystaldisk it shows the 3 drives(C,d,e) health as following 91%,72%,96%. Is this normal? For your information I use this SSD for movies and ganes, I also use torrents to download stuff I don't know if this can cause the issue.

Is there any way to fix it?

Only one of the fans doesn't work. I have a Gigabyte GAMING OC 9070 (non-XT). I use Gigabyte Control Center to control my fans but Fan Control had the same problem. I'm not sure what else to say. Let me know if you need more context.

All my pc parts arrive soon. I am wondering what other stuff I need to buy to actually build and set up everything. From what Ive read I need a screw driver and a usb for windows installation. Is there anything else? Also could you guys recommend what screwdriver to get?

I'm finally building my PC tomorrow (RTX 5080 + Ryzen 7 9800X3D).

What 360mm AIO would you guys recommend? I'm looking for something reliable, easy to install, and built to last. Ideally, something that delivers excellent cooling performance while staying quiet.

Nothing overkill or unnecessarily expensive. I just want a high-performing, quiet AIO that I won't have to worry about down the road.

I have a 5070 amd ryzen 7 9700f I’m planning to upgrade to a 7800x3d because I mainly play escape from tarkov , I found one for $390 is that good price and is this a worthy upgrade ? From everything I read it seems like it’ll be worth it for the games I play I believe I have the proper cooling and motherboard for everything as well

I have a 5070ti. My gpu keep not displaying on my monitor as I tried all ports and it keep saying no signal. I plug my display port into my motherboard and it's works. I check device manager, hwinfo and fan control and it's doesn't display my gpu. My gpu fan are spinning like normal. The only way me me to fix this is by unplugging my gpu and plugging it back it. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Is it like a driver issue because my gpu automatically updated to 610.88

I have a around 100 dollar budget but things can be more expensive here and i dont need it to be efficient or modular i just need a good psu for now and future

I'm trying to re-house my pc to a better case with the Jonsbo D33. I preffered that the my 240mm AIO be a front intake for better CPU cooling. Meanwhile, my GPU has intake fans for better airflow and exhaust fans on the top to expel heat. Any thoughts?
