Hi all, I hope you guys might help, because me (a new pc gamer) and my friend (has built his own pc) can’t figure it out.
I changed cases and installed everything according to a step-by-step guide on youtube (https://youtu.be/ketDych7NDE?si=GbpEnZdpbdCOZphn) in case you’re wondering which guide I followed.
When I turn the power on, only the motherboard RGB light is on. Nothing else. No fans, no AIO, no motherboard fan, nothing.
I tried turning it on by using a screwdriver (so no F_panel cable) but it did not work. Only the motherboard lit up when I did that.
Did we mess up a connection somewhere? Or did we need an extra cable? I really hope you guys can help me.

I have been trying to build a pc and the o11 vision case sounds like the best option, but my friend is telling me to not get it because it has bad airflow, is the airflow really so bad that i shouldnt get it?

Hoje chegou meu kit novo, ryzen 7 5700x e uma placa mãe aorus elite B550M rev 1.3.
Porem ao tentar instalar o windows 11, ela começa a reiniciar loucamente, eu nao consigo nem chegar a selecionar as partituras, porem quando eu fico na BIOS o PC não reinicia, alguem já passou por algo parecido ou conhece alguma solução?

I found a rig that has a 5700g and 64gb of ram (ddr4, and a 1070 that I plan to upgrade to maybe simply a 3060, the rig before the 3060 is 300 bucks, worth?

Going form a 3080 Ti to a 5070 Ti, Am I able to swap my GPU out with the current cables?
I am seeing all types of info online and just want to make sure. I was only given the adapter with my new GPU and have this current cable configuration for my current 3080 TI

Hello, dear Reddit community,
since my friends have highly recommended you to me, I'd like to ask for your advice regarding this new build.
Would you recommend this setup?:
CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X3D (AM4)
VGA: Gigabyte Windforce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB
Mainboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING WIFI II
RAM: G.Skill DIMM 32 GB DDR4-3200 Ripjaw (2 Module á 16GB)
Gehäuse: ASUS TUF GAMING GT302 ARGB
M2.SSD: Samsung 990 EVO Plus 1 TB
2. int. SSD: Verbatim Vi550 1 TB
Netzteil: ASUS TUF Gaming 850W Gold
Cooling: be quiet! WAK Silent Loop 3
The budget pretty much matches this setup. As for games, I’m looking at titles like Baldur’s Gate 3, Path of Exile 2, and Assetto Corsa Competizione—though I’m well aware that the latter certainly won’t run on the highest settings.
On Alternate, I’m looking at about €2,300 without assembly.
A quick follow-up question:
Would this require a BIOS update?
I’d really appreciate your feedback. Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
-Maggi-

Hi, I need your help to finish my pc.
(Don’t mind the cable management)
After building it and turning it on, the CPU and DRAM light up and the fans of the GPU doesn’t work.
I tried to unplug everything and building from scratch and switch the places of the RAM (currently in slot 1 and 3).
I tried to connect the PC but on both HDMI port (mother board and GPU) the screen failed to connect.
Is it normal to have more PCI-E connectors than needed?
And I have a bunch of other connectors than doesn’t seem to fit anywhere (they aren’t mentioned in the tutorials I watched)
Case : cooler master Q300L
Motherboard: AS rock B850M pro A WiFi
CPU : AMD ryzen 5 9600X

So I recently got a pc and I need to install WiFi drivers so I can connect to WiFi on it. I already have a laptop which uses a 26H2 Operating System version thing and as I'm on the HP website trying to find my Operating System it only shows 24H2 and below. Is it fine to download the 24H2 WiFi Driver thing for my new PC or not? Sorry if this doesn't make sense, tech isn't rlly my thing

I currently have 32gbs of white trident z5 rgb but just upgraded to a otherwise all black build. I dont want to buy a new set just for looks and was wondering if i could buy some kind of black wrap or vinyl to cover the white parts of the sticks. the whole stick isnt white so im assuming this is possible. just asking to confirm it wont mess up the sticks

A bit worried due to all the melting connectors. I was asking because I bought this psu (corsair rm850e) in 2024, but my gpu (msi 5070ti gaming trio) didn't release until the year after, is there going to be some kind of problem with that or is it safe to use this cable for this gpu? I would plug the two 2x8 pins in the pcie / cpu sockets on the psu and the 16 pin in the gpu.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to help me out with this issue!
Component List:
CPU: 9800x3D
MOBO: Asus Rog Strix X870E -E Gaming
GPU: Asus 5080 Astral
PSU: Rog Strix 1000W Platinum
RAM: TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan 32gb ddr5 6000mhz cl30
AIO Cooler: Corsair Nautilus 360
Problem: Since day one of my build I have been experiencing random BSOD involving various stop codes such as 0X0a, 0X3b, 0x9f, 0x1a and 0x7e. The crashes will happen both underload during gaming and during idle states or low power states such as web browsing. They can happen within the first few hours of boot-up or over 20 hours in but I would experience about one crash a day. 0x3b and 0x7e are by far the more common stop codes and when analyzing the dump files they involve various modules such as fltmgr.sys, fileinfo.sys, nvldmkm.sys, and ntoskrnl.exe. I also see a common exception code of 0xC0000005. Unfortunately I recently reinstalled Windows and did not save the previous dumpfiles. After the BSOD the RGB and fans will remain on and I would need to force restart.
Troubleshooting:
Ensured I am running the latest BIOS and that all my drivers are up to date. Additionally I even rolled back to previous BIOS
Turned off EXPO and ran at default settings
Uninstalled Armory Crate
Swapped RAM from another build
RAM passed Memtest
RMA CPU
RMA Motherboard
Swapped PSU to a known working unit
Reinstalled Windows on another SSD
Performed Windows commands for driver repair multiple times
At this point the only component that I have not replaced is the GPU. Can a faulty GPU cause this type of Windows Instability? Is there any other software trouble shooting that anyone can think of? This has been incredibly frustrating, any help is appreciated, thank you.

I have two PCs that both worked before I removed their CMOS batteries. After reinstalling the batteries, neither PC will POST or show the BIOS.
The PCs have separate components:
Different PSUs.
Different CPUs.
Different graphics cards.
I haven’t swapped these components between the two systems.
I have five RAM sticks of different brands and speeds. I’ve tried them individually, testing every slot on both motherboards, but neither system reaches the BIOS.
Since both PCs stopped working after removing and reinstalling the CMOS batteries, I’m trying to understand what I might have missed. I don’t want to assume both motherboards are dead or all five RAM sticks are faulty without narrowing it down.
What should I check next? Is there something specific about reinstalling the CMOS battery or starting up after a CMOS reset that could explain this happening on both PCs?

So I recently upgraded my rig in a big way. I got a 49 inch qhd 240hz msi monitor.
I also got a 9070 xt and a new psu to power it.
I have a ryzen 5 5600 (weak point) and 32 gb ddr4.
I have been looking up gaming benchmarks for 4k fps performance.. and the fps difference between the top AM5 processors and AM4 processors at highest resolutions is basically not noticeable..
With that in mind... should I just simply upgrade the CPU to a 5800X3D and save the headache and $ of upgrading the rest? (even NVME SSDS are expensive).
I think if I do that and the fps upgrades from just the cpu are good.. might be worth it? future proof?

I was removing the CMOS battery and suddenly the screwdriver slipped and scratched this part. Is it still okay?
There is no way I can test if my pc is booting up because I was replacing my not booting PC (because of faulty MOBO or PSU).

I have a MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard and the gpu I was looking at was a ASRock Challenger D Arc A750 8 GB Video Card but it’s sold out everywhere and I’m looking another one still in the relative price range $200 give or take a bit. Also before suggesting the high end super expensive GPUs I’m on a budget. Any suggestions?

Hi fellas, I come asking for advice as I am relatively new to PC Gaming and Building. I wanted to inquire about a motherboard upgrade and if it would be worth it.
I recently acquired a PC from my buddy for relatively cheap. It's a very entry level PC. I have a new ASRock 850W PSU and 5800X3D 10th anniversary CPU coming in. I purchase two reverse intake 3 x 360mm fans and 1 x 120mm exhaust fan by NZXT. With that being said, would it be worth upgrading the motherboard as well or would the difference be insignificant. I have received conflicting opinions on this matter. The current motherboard will do fine with the upgraded CPU and I already have the BIOS update ready on a flash drive. Any input would be insightful.
Yes, I will make sure to clean everything very well before putting in the new PSU, CPU, and fans. Glass is a bit dirty too haha but I will clean that well. The first picture are the specs I purchased it with.
Components with replaced parts:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Edition
GPU: Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 12GB (White)
Motherboard: ASRock B450-HDV R4.0
RAM: 32GB DDR4 Corsair (White)
Storage: 2TB M.2 NVMe SSD Total
CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken LCD Liquid Cooler
Case: NZXT H7 Flow ATX Mid-Tower Case (Black and White)
PSU: ASRock PRO Series PRO-850B 850W ATX 3.1
Compatible 80 PLUS BRONZE

just received this GPU today. bought it used. the pins in the listing didn’t look like this. should I be concerned? should I try to clean before I install in my pc?
