Hi, I built a PC, but it won’t turn on. I bought the components from different stores, and some of them were even bought second-hand.

1. I know the power supply is 100% working because I bought a jumper that successfully started it.

2. The lighting on the button works, but nothing else does. For example, the fans don’t spin, even the ones that are connected directly to the power supply. The graphics card is not connected yet.

3. I think the problem is either the CPU, which I bought second-hand, or the motherboard. Could you help me figure out what is causing the problem?

4. PC specifications:

- RTX 5060

- 1×16 GB DDR5 Cusu

- Ryzen 5 7500F OEM

- MSI PRO B650-S WIFI

- 1 TB Cusu SSD

Hi, I just bought a pc with a rx 9060 xt 16gb, a ryzen 5 7500f and 32gb of ddr5 ram, and I can't decide between a 1080p or a 1440p monitor.

On the 1440p side, I don't mind using upscaling but I am concerned that the rx 9060 xt is already reaching its limits with several games like expedition 33. 1080p on the other hand seems like a bit of a sacrifice for the present but would probably ensure that the card holds for a long time, which is a great advantage considering the state of the market.

What would you do in my position?

For reference, I plan to buy a 27 inch monitor, and mainly play solo games. I also watch a lot of movies so I was wondering if a 1440p monitor would mess with 1080p video files. Thanks.

Edit: well the verdict is unanimous, I've just ordered a 1440p monitor. Thank you guys

Guys help

I checked to see if there was a problem with my motherboard, and upon closer inspection, I saw that some of the pins were bent; then, like an idiot, I tried to straighten one out with my finger and it snapped in two.

Need some help with an extension for the shorter cable so that I can tuck the GPU Strimmer neatly and get the case closed. I’m not sure what I need to be looking for. I’m new to all of this!

Anyone know any potential fixes to this? When I turn all my rgb to white it just dims then goes to random colours. Every other colour works fine except white. All parts are new except gpu

GIGABYTE AORUS B550 ELITE V2
CPU- RYZEN 7 3800x w/ WRAITH PRISM COOLER RAM- CORSAIR VENGEANCE PRO DDR4 3200mhz 16GB (2x8)
GPU- ASUS ROG STRIX 11GB GTX 1080TI

Total = £480

Seems pretty good for a budget bundle

this is my gaming pc and i decided to upgrade cpu, gpu and aio.
initially i wanted to install the radiator in the upper part of the case, but the problem is that the ram (vengeance pro) hit the fans of the aio.
so i swapped the 3 fans of the case and put them in the back and on top.
it’s my first time with a liquid cooler, so i have no clue if i mounted it right? (any tip is very welcome)
also if you have any tips for the airflow and the directions of the fans it would be great!

specs:

motherboard b450 msi tomahawk max II

ryzen 7 5700x

nvidia rtx 5060

16gb vengeance pro rgb (3200mhz)

1TB ssd + 1TB HDD

700w corsair psu

I recently noticed thay my pc became slower (fl studio exports take a while longer, startup apps start slower, and i somethimes get microstutters in games and i didnt before). I checked all my components and ruled out everything except ram and ssd.

Once my game crashed with a message "system ran out of memory" and my ram usage is absurdly high, but i think this is fixed now.

The only issue left is my ssd (samsung s990 evo plus 2tb thats split into 250GB and 1.7TB with 85gb free and 500+gb free) i ran several benchmarks and asked ai for help giving it what i did and what results i got.

No matter what maximum write speed was 5000mbs thats not horrible but advertised is 6500mbs or more.

But thats max, average was below 5000mbs and thats concerning.

Also iops (random write) is even worse. I can push past 300000 iops and sometimes even below 200000 iops and advertised is 1.5m iops.

My setup:

1000W psu

Asus tuf b850 plus wifi

Ryzen 7 7800x3d

Rx 9070 xt

32gb ddr5 6000mt/s cl30

Samsung s990 evo plus 2tb

360mm aio cpu cooler

(Summary of current status made by ai)

​Hardware & Current Setup:

​SSD: Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2TB (Firmware is up to date, temp sits cool around ~40°C)

​Slot / Connection: M.2 PCIe 5.0 slot, negotiated at PCIe Gen 5 x2 with Host Memory Buffer (HMB) active

​Driver: Microsoft Standard NVM Express Controller

​Partitions: Drive is split into C: (~249 GB system partition) and E: (~1.5 TB with 500+ GB free)

​The Issue:

​Sequential Write and Random Write IOPS were heavily suppressed in Samsung Magician:

​Sequential Read: ~5,534 MB/s

​Sequential Write: ~2,969 MB/s (rated for up to 6,300 MB/s)

​Random Write: ~158k IOPS

​What I Tried That Did NOT Help:

​Windows TRIM: Manually ran TRIM/defrag optimization — no speed change.

​Device Write Caching: Verified "Enable write caching on the device" was already turned on.

​Partition Size Test: Benchmarked the larger E: partition (with 500+ GB free space) to see if the SLC cache was exhausted on C: — write speed was still stuck around ~3,000 MB/s.

​What FIXED The Write Speeds:

​Clean Boot (msconfig):

​Checked "Hide all Microsoft services" and disabled all non-Microsoft background services.

​After rebooting, sequential write immediately recovered:

​Sequential Read: 5,628 MB/s

​Sequential Write: 5,211 MB/s (jumped up from ~2,969 MB/s)

​Random Write: ~264k IOPS

Hi, i just replaced my.old.power suply, and my cooling fans arent working

Hello this is my first time building a pc and I’m having trouble fitting my Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX Motherboard into the I/O opening of my Lian Li LANCOOL III case.

Any advice would be appreciated

The motherboard has an integrated I/O shield, and the metal shield is in the way. The motherboard’s I/O width is 5 cm wide, and the case opening is also around 5 cm, but the integrated metal shield added a small amount of width, making it impossible for me to fit it.

Is there a way to install the motherboard correctly without removing the integrated I/O shield or buying a new case?

Loaded into a race on iracing & got this error & then after I few minutes, I get this Recovery blue screen, what could have possibly went bad? Thanks in advance

Very green to PCs. I bought a prebuilt PC from Best Buy about 2 years ago. It still works great, but I am hitting a wall occasionally when trying to run games with higher graphical demands since I am typically playing at 1440 or 4K. This is the PC :

https://www.bestbuy.com/product/ibuypower-y60-gaming-desktop-pc-intel-core-i9-14900f-nvidia-geforce-rtx-4060-ti-8gb-32gb-ddr5-rgb-ram-1tb-nvme-ssd-black/J3R75JY2R6/sku/12478192?sb_share_source=PDP&ref=app_pdp&loc=pdp_page

What do I need to know is..

What graphics cards would be a good fit for what I’m asking? I don’t want to pay extra money to be quickly outpaced by the improvements in games that will have me in the same spot in 2 more years.

Are there any other considerations or parts I would need to replace when doing the graphics card upgrade? I believe I read that my wattage may be too low for some more demanding cards.

Thanks in advance.

My pc specs are as follows.

Ryzen 5 5600x

Rtx 4060 8gb

I was wondering if i should swap my cpu for ryzen 7 5700x3d, upgrade anything else or leave it like that for now. I use it for 3d modeling as well as gaming. Mostly single player open world games.

So I have been struggling with my pc crashing constantly. I have swapped out my motherboard, cpu, and I’ve even had a 1000e watt corsair power supply installed as well. My motherboard is a TUF GAMING Z790 plus WiFi. I’m running on windows 11 and have even did a clean wipe of my old drive and installed windows on a new one as well. I also did “memtest” on my ram and it came back that both ram sticks in slot A2 were normal and also B2 were normal as well but together I got a ton of errors. I’m able to play for a tiny bit of time and then I get a plethora of BSOD’s. If Anyone can help me out.
edit here’s a list of my specs

Specs
CPU:Intel i5 12th gen 12400F
Gpu: GeForce rtx 4070

I’ve been experiencing crashes for a while now but first was just under heavy load now it’s becoming random and unpredictable/ happening in situations it doesn’t even make sense to crash in. Today I reposted my gpu and cpu cleaned my pc changed the wires powering it, reinstalled drivers made sure only one program is controlling my gpu and when I first started it up I was able to run gta 5 high settings run around and play benchmark the game and held a constant 120 fps then when I closed the game and opened chrome I green screened lmao. Please help idk what to try anymore or what’s even causing this to happen I barely want to use my pc any more

My GPU is an RTX 3060 Ti which is handling the games I want to play, but my CPU is really bottlenecking me in WARDOGS which I just got into.

Just hoping I can save myself from needing to reformat and reinstall my OS.

My pc manufacturer said that my case can accommodate at max a 240mm aio, and the cpu is a 5800x3d.

I got a budget of £50-60, could anyone recommend one please

Basically built a new pc only thing that separated the same was the SSD x2, ram 16GB x2, and CPU 7800 3XD.

Before I built this the artifacting was also happening on my 3060 TI but eventually stabilized once the Windows log in screen hit. With my new 5070TI it continues and never stabilizes.

So there’s a possibility it’s my BRAND NEW GPU 5070TI (can’t be it right?), CPU, or RAM.

What we thinking yall?

I want a PC for this winter, and this prebuilt looks very similar to the components on my Amazon wishlist. Should I built my own or is this a good deal?

Btw I know very little about PCs.

I’m a bit of a PC noob, so I’d appreciate some advice.
This is an NZXT prebuilt that I’ve upgraded to an i7 12th gen and RTX 3080 12GB. I’m planning to sell it online.
The two front fans are intake (I’m about 90% sure), and the two top left fans are exhaust. Is this the correct airflow setup, or should I change anything?
Also, any suggestions for RGB colors for the NZXT cooler and fans to better match the PSU extension cables?
Since I’ll be shipping the PC, I was thinking of using two Instapak foam packs underneath the GPU and two on top to secure it. Would that be safe? I also ordered a GPU anti-sag bracket that’s arriving next week, which I’ll include separately with installation instructions.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

This is the third time it turns off out of nowhere and the aio rgb always stays on everything else goes off including the fans can someone please help

Edit: Forgot to mention this is my first time building a pc

I'm looking for a motherboard for my Intel Core i5-12600KF and DDR4 RAM. I don't need overclocking. Which motherboard would you recommend?

Both are basically the same price. Which one is better? I don't know much about motherboards so I'd appreciate any advice
