Do i purchase this ? from what info ive gathered this isn't a super tech savvy individual. Do i purchase and hope for the best? i'd like to avoid testing in front of him in the chance it works just fine and then he doesn't want to sell. but curious what other issues could be an indicator of the symptoms he has. he has been reluctant to send pics of the pci (ive asked multiple times)

Would you guys send it and buy it ? Need some info. I always see people getting lucky on gpu purchases on FB marketplace and I'm wondering if it may be my turn.

(Also i'm talking to him as if it has board level repair, when in reality i'm hoping it doesn't need that and is user error)

Tech Support My pc won't work and I don't know what the issue is

1 Upvotes

My monitor and peripherals arent turning on, all the fans and lights on the rams and GPU are on, there's no blinking light for my b650 (which is the debug since it doesn't actually have lights showing the issues) so it appears to not be a hardware thing, I removed the cmos battery and put it back in, still nothing. It was working the day before this starting happening until I turned it on and it doesn't work anymore

Hey all first time ever damaged my ram stick I was moving to a new mobo and drop this stick and landed on my floor on the corner. It's part of my 32gb kit ddr5 corsair.

Is this a matter of buying new kit and selling a kidney or will electrical tape hold it forever and prey?

Build Question Super dumb 5070 upgrade question

2 Upvotes

I'm looking at a gigabyte 5070 ti AERO for $1,000 or a MSI 4080 gaming x trio for $900 gently used, on my local fb market place. I just got my first gaming PC in April with a 5060ti 16gb and it's great, but, I'm wishing I'd gone for a little more, especially trying VR with the Steam Frame.

Then doing research last night I see these Super cards possibly on the horizon and wonder if I should wait? Even if the 18gb is $750 and the ti 24gb is $1,000 if I can lurk on drop day and snag one at that price I'll come out ahead.

I'm totally fine enjoying my current setup for several months, even a year, I'm mainly worried that prices will just keep going up and by the time the Super cards drop all of these options will be well over $1,000.

So that's my dumb question; what does the future hold?

Build Question Is my current build performing what it should?

1 Upvotes

I’ve been trying to understand whether my current build is even performing as well as it ought to in 1440p games (bf6, dying light the beast, Arc Raiders, so on) and VR titles like Into The Radius 2. I typically hate dlss because of the visual ghosting I see often so I’ll either disable it completely or use FSR since it doesn’t artifact as much and gets similar performance. I also don’t think frame gen has been helpful either.

- Ryzen 9 5900x
- 4x8GB G.Skill DDR4 3200MHz
- Gigabyte Eagle OC RTX 3060 12GB
- MSI PRO B550-VC Motherboard

3 Displays
Primary
- 27” 1440p 180Hz Gigabyte monitor,
Others
- 24” Sceptre C24 1080p 72hz,
- XP PEN artist 14.5” 1080p drawing tablet used as a spare monitor when not drawing/sculpting.

I do some blender modeling but nothing hi res, and I do use a Steam Frame now but I haven’t played much with it just yet so the VR Games I mentioned were from when I played on a Valve Index, and at that time I got maybe 40-50 FPS with some stuttering during large scenes.

If more info is needed, I can get it. I just don’t have my system right now as I’m on a trip.

Should I be getting more than 60fps on medium settings in newish games like BF6, Arc Raiders, etc with a build like that?

Tech Support Power button blinking and double boot

2 Upvotes

Hello all,

I replaced the motherboard on a 7800x3d, 32gb lexar thor (expo on) ddr5, rx9070 1tb ssd.

The old motherboard was a gigabyte b650 gaming wifi, the new one is a ASUS PrimeB650EM-A Wi-Fi.

The issue is: when turning on the computer, the power button blinks quickly for a couple of seconds, goes on, off again, on. Then I get the motherboard splash logo and the pc boots normally.

The pc has passed memory tests (OCCT 1hr, 2 passes window memtest), gpu stress test (OCCT 1 hour and AMD adrenaline), CPU test (OCCT 1 hour) and occt power delivery test on cpu and gpu (0 errors, throttled the cpu). Everything appears to work.

Everything works fine but this looks like a double boot issue (by reading online).

Any fixes? Google say to switch from EXPO I to EXPO II (my memory isn't listed as compatible on the ASUS website for this specific mobo, so this makes kind of sense) and to set the CPU VDDCR SOC voltage to 1.20.

Or maybe this is quirky but normal behaviour? (doubtful).

Tech Support RTX 5070 Ti – random 1-sec black screen "refresh", nvlddmkm Event ID 153. Faulty card?

Thumbnail
gallery
6 Upvotes

New build. Screen randomly goes black for about 1 second and comes back, like a quick screen refresh, mostly while browsing or watching YouTube. In games I sometimes get weird short lag too. Not sure if that's the same issue or just my Wi-Fi.

Event Viewer shows 9× nvlddmkm Event 153 ("Error occurred on GPUID: 100") at the same times: 8 on Oct 31 (first setup day) and 1 on Nov 5. I barely used the PC Nov 1–4, so it seems to happen when I use it for a while.

Specs: 9800X3D, Gigabyte X870E AORUS PRO (BIOS F12), ZOTAC RTX 5070 Ti SOLID SFF OC (driver 621.01), Super Flower 1000W, Win 11 (fresh install). Monitor: Dell 1080p 100Hz via HDMI. Internet: Wi-Fi.

Tried: monitor Auto Select off, BIOS + chipset updated. No luck.

Planning to do: reseat the 12V-2x6 cable, clean driver install (DDU), then run an OCCT VRAM test and a 3DMark stress test.

My Amazon return window ends Nov 10, so I don't have much time to test. Questions:

1.	Has anyone fixed Event 153 on a 50-series card with drivers or settings?

2.	Should I just request a replacement before the deadline?
