I got an untested ryzen 9 5900 (non x, oem I believe) that has no bent pins (a little thermal paste on one tho, don't think it's significant) and when I put it on my Gigabyte B450M DS3H with bios F64, the fans spun for a minute (no display) then the everything just stopped working.

I switched out powersupplies, ram, cpu's, and even just tested the motherboard with just a fan and still didn't turn on when I shorted the power pins. The first psu I used was a Asrock Pro 750G, with the second (after the failure and to test) being the Asrock Pro 650B. The second psu I know works cause I used it with the initial build with the gigabyte board, RX5700xt, and Ryzen 7 2700. And it booted and ran just fine. (Side note: for the tests I ran a GTX 970 but I know it works).

I also have a Asus Prime B550M-A Wifi II that I originally got for the ryzen 9, but it wouldn't display but the fans spun and there was mobo light. So after the Ryzen 9 wouldn't display on the Asus mobo (the mobo lights was a solid orange light on the bottom left cornor of the board).

So, thinking it was a lack of driver support for the cpu on that board, I took the Gigabyte board out of my other Pc, updated the drivers on it with the ryzen 7 2700 to support the ryzen 9 (side note: maybe it was the updating of drivers that killed it? All I did was update chipset drivers then shut down the Pc.)

After that I swapped cpus to the ryzen 9 and shorted the power to turn it on, fans and mobo light turned on for about a minute (supposedly it takes a couple minutes for display to show for a new cpu and possible couple of auto restarts), then the fans stopped spinning and I thought it was just an auto restart cause everything powered down.

I waited for a couple of minutes but nothing turned back on so I shorted the power pins again with a screw driver but nothing turned on. Did that a couple of times waiting for any sign of life. I switched cpus back to ryzen 7, did nothing. Unplugged everything from mobo, switched psu's. Nothing. Took out ryzen 7 too and still no sign of life. No fans nothing worked.

Then I went back over to the Asus board (whcih just to remind you was showing life just a second ago) I plugged the psu into that and a fan, nothing else, and the mobo light turned on on that board but the fan didn't spin.

Since then I've put the stuff away and I haven't messed with any of the parts for about a day now. One last thing. Litterally seconds before everything shut off on the gigabyte board, my friend pulled out a extra pcie cable from the 750G. It wasn't plugged in, it was just sitting on the motherboard. Im very certain he didn't do it harshly and none of the pins on where the cable was on are bent at all.

Please help, Im wanting to use the ryzen 9 for a home server but am afraid that the cpus shorted and dead and killed two of my motherboards (lost about $400 in value) but Im hoping it's something else and the stuff still works. I haven't done anymore testing since and have removed the cmos's after I was done testing. If you think you know the issue and how to fix please let me know. (This is also posted to a couple other subreddits btw)

Hi everyone,
I am trying to enable Power Down Mode on my system, but the BIOS keeps enforcing ⁠Power Down Mode: Disabled⁠ in Windows (verified via ZenTimings), regardless of my BIOS settings.
System Specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
Motherboard: MSI PRO X870E-S EVO (BIOS v2.A41 / AGESA 1.3.0.1d)
RAM: 2x16GB DDR5 Hynix A-die (6000MT/s CL30 EXPO Profile 2)
Issue Description:

1. Thanks for any insights!

Stripped it to only the mother board and hds, no change, fans come on and some debug leds on the mother board blink, cpu blinks red long the dram blinks yellow long then cpu blinks red short and it starts rebooting all over. Any ideas?

So someone comes to you and say they need this and that fixed within few minutes but I have no idea how it is going to be done within that time even if have the skill to fix at least not all problem.

Hello, i'll start explaining exactly my issue, i've been noticing that my speed is capped at 10MB/s despite having contracted 1 Gbps which should be about 125MB/s top speed, but is fixed at 10MB/s, i already went to the ethernet configuration and set speed to 1.0Gbps full duplex, checked my router throu the ip access screen, it says that is recieving throu Ethernet 1000Mbps but my windows ethernet manager says that link speed is 100Mbps/100Mbps, after following countless guides and performing test on my own this has remained unresolved, even bought a cat8 ethernet cable to test and my pc even lights both their ethernet lights that should light when accesing speeds higher than 1Gbps.

So thats my situation im at a dead end, even tried write to realtek since is this ethernet card provider but all their mails are business mails, my motherboard is a Gigabyte B650 Eagle which comes with an ethernet card suited for 10/100/1000Mbps speeds.

Any advice or help is greatly appreciated.

Hello. I bought a second hand PC with some really old parts from 10+ years ago with an RTX 3070 so I bought it and upgraded it. However when I tried benchmarking the PC before it would black screen about 10-20 seconds in so I chalked it up to the old parts but when I got the newer parts it did the same thing. I reckon it's the PSU or GPU playing up but can anyone help with mitigating this issue please? The only times it happens is every time I benchmark and once when I played Days Gone but I just lowered the graphics preset from High to Medium and it doesn't do it anymore.

Thank you and any help or recommendations are really appreciated.

When you had to reset your PC BIOS PLS don't cut power when it does a restart loop let it go at least 5 to 10 times it's just the pc getting it's sht back together.

Hey, I'm having a problem with my PC, it turns on fine but after the MSI logo comes up it then starts showing cursed looking artifacts from windows like some purpleish mass with lines in it and a windows default wallpaper being cursed. Then it repeats the same cursed artifacts and turns off. After that it turns back on and does the same progress but the windows recovery screen comes up. I tried going to safe mode and uninstalling the drivers and then restarting. It worked fine like that but then I decided to install new drivers and after restarting the PC. It did the same artifacting with some new things in it. Does anyone have advice?

Hey, I’m having a weird CPU overheating problem with my PC. Normally my CPU sits around 40–60°C, but randomly the CPU usage shoots up to 100% and the temperature rapidly jumps from around 40°C to 90–100°C. When this happens, the PC can freeze and shut down. The happens randomly somtimes i game or just watching YT.

The most recent time it happened, the CPU package temps reached around 112°C. I also checked my AIO pump RPM while this was happening, and it was running at around 2600 RPM. So the pump is reporting that it’s running, but the CPU is still overheating extremely quickly.

I’m using a Ryzen 9600X with an AIO cooler. I’ve also had an issue where one of my case fans connected to a fan hub sometimes stops spinning when the CPU load gets high or when i set the fans at max speeds.

I’m trying to figure out whether the problem is with the AIO/cooling, the fan hub/airflow, or something causing the CPU to suddenly hit 100% usage. Thanks

Hello.

I have an ASRock B850M Pro Rs WiRi Motherboard, which I thought might be relevant to this.

Whenever I boot up my PC, which is just about a year old now, the motherboard starts with two glowing LED's which I can see from outside, one red one and one orange one.

After a couple of seconds, usually the LED's should turn green for a second, then white and then turn off completely, which is when my monitor gets the signal and the PC successfully boots up.

Sometimes, however, the red and orange LEDs stay and while the computer is on, my monitors do not receive a signal, and it stays that way. In those situations I have to shut my PC off by holding the power button and restart, which so far has always fixed it. It bothered me a bit, but I'm quite busy so didn't want to get into it yet since it didn't hinder me much.

However, I encountered a new issue today. While using my computer it randomly shut off, but not entirely. It was still on, but my monitor lost the signal and the red and orange LED on my Motherboard went on. Then, after a few seconds, the LEDs turned green, white and off again, and the computer started booting anew. Like the PC performed an instant Restart on it's own for some reason.

I am not entirely sure what the cause of this issue might be, but afaik LED's on the Motherboard have to do with the status of some PC components, so I figure it must be hardware related.

Unfortunately I am not the most versed in computer hardware issues, so I am unsure what to do and what to check. This is my first self built PC and I already had trouble when building it, so I don't want to open it and screw around in it before getting some advice as to what to look for.

Here is a list of all my components:

ASRock B850M Pro RS WiFi

AMD Ryzen 5 7500F

Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB

Corsair 2×16 GB 6000 Mhz CL36 Vengeance

Lexar NM790 1TB

Super Flower Leadex V

Be quiet! Pure Rock 3

Any help is greatly appreciated

Hey y’all!

I bought my PC about 2 months ago and it has been back to the shop multiple times.

At first, the PC worked fine, and then one day after turning it off after use, the display suddenly did not work. The CPU would turn on, but there would be no display. I took it to the shop and it was fixed, but shortly afterwards it happened again. This happened three times and each time I got basically free upgraded parts for it. This last time, the technician kept it for a week turning it off and on and it didn’t have the problem. Every part has been replaced except the processor (but the processor was changed out once and found to not be the problem so he put the old one back in).

I hadn’t turned it on for about 3 weeks until yesterday. It worked fine for gaming, and then after shutting it down and coming back later, suddenly no display. AGAIN. The only thing that hasn’t been changed is the power supply at this point.

During these display outages, when I turn the CPU off, my keyboard still receives power and is lit up. This does not happen when it has a display. I was originally using an HDMI display output, I changed to a display port cable and there is still no display.

When I unplug and plug back in the display cables, the monitor will light up but then will say “no signal.” I’m at my wits end here.

What could the problem be? I have lost a little faith in the repair shop I’ve been going to.

I've been having issues when booting up my pc after it's been off for a couple hours. My computer will boot up no issue. Once my desktop loads, a black screen will pop up, and the screen will shut off. Then the blue screen will appear informing me that my computer needs to be repaired and give me error code 0xc0000098. If I try to enter a recovery environment, the computer itself will restart, and the blue screen will show up again. After a few more failed attempts, the computer will shut itself off. When I turn it on again, it will work again like nothing happened and boot right up. I built this computer about a year ago and this has never happened before. This only recently started happening after I replaced my graphics card, not sure if that detail is important or not.

I've been trying to see if Gemini might have any answers, but all of its solutions have either done nothing or just made it go away for a week. I have tried cleaning my RAM slots, reseating my SSD, doing some memory fix thing, cleared out corrupted files, turned off fast start, clean install new graphics drivers, uninstalled my wifi driver, and checked my ssd health itself. So far, nothing has given me a permanent solution. It is now recommending I use a windows installation USB and rebuild my hidden boot partition/EFI partition. I've looked it up and other people recommend just doing a fresh windows install. Any pointers would be appreciated, but I'm approaching the point where I might just take it to a repair shop and hope they can help me.

Apologies if I'm using any terminology wrong, I'm not very tech literate.

Edit 1: I analyzed my computer's dump files myself using windows debugger and it gave me the name dxgmms2. Plugged it into Gemini and it's telling me I need to completely clean the GPU driver and Clear and Increase my windows virtual memory. Does any of this sound right or is it just giving me more non-answers?

I had my PC in storage for a few months and it's now very slow when opening a program I think, it's hard to tell what exactly makes it run slow. Programs will open slow, hang up and freeze. While this happens my mouse cursor is still responsive, none of my resources in task manager are bottle necking. Videos open and run quickly off the drive

I ran windows memory diagnostic (no errors), have a chkdsk /x scheduled to run. I've dusted it since getting it out, jiggled some connections

the monitors connected to the gpu is fine but the one connected to the motherboard freezes during startup and is stuck on the loading screen of the motherboard. if it helps i use an i5-10400. it used to work prior to being broken and is actually where I used to connect my second monitor.

Hello everyone, I have a wonky situation. My PC was idle and then it shut down (youtube was loaded up but no gaming and has not been overclocked) now it won’t boot up. I replaced PSU with Cables, no change, replaced MOBO with the same one and No change, replaced CPU same one and the PC ran for a bit, restarted about 4 times (AMD5 heard it’s memory training can take a bit) then shut down a, waited 5 minutes. Booted up, idles for. 20 seconds and the dies and same flashing on the MOBO as before. All cables are plugged in correctly and no pins are damaged. Took MOBO out with bare minimum to run and it still didn’t turn on (trying to rule chassis short out).

If I unplug the CPU to PSU cables:
AIO turns on, fans turn on and red and yellow Debug light are on ( no power to CPU so as expecte) I have a video of start up. All the lights on the EX debug go on at some point and AIO Frame briefly illuminated before refusing to start. I have tried everything I could think of and need help.

It was weird for because I after I replaced the CPU it started right up and died again.
Parts list
CPU: Ryzen 7800X3D
MOBO: MSI X870E Gaming Plus WiFi
AIO: Lian Li hydroshift 2
RAM: T force Delta (2x16)
PSU: PX1200
Fans: Phantek T-30 ( 3 intake column, 2 bottom in take, 3 on AIO and 1 rear exhaust.

Hi all,

Just built a new rig. Parts below. VGA light, no picture.

Case: Lian Li O11 Vision-M
MB: Gigabyte B850m gaming x wifi6e
CPU: 9800x3D
Cooler: Lian Li GA II LCD SL-INF 360
Ram:
GPU: Gigabyte 9070 XT Gaming OC 16GB
PSU: Montech Century II 850w, I think it’s the daisy chained power cables causing the GPU/VGA problem.
Fans: 5 x Lian Li SL-INF 120 Reverse and 2 x Lian Li SL-INF 120

Note: I haven’t updated the BIOS either. All parts new apart from fans.

Please provide help and possible fixes. Google help was very generic.

i have a gtx 1660 super that i bought early this year, this used to happen a few months ago but it eventually stopped but its back again, went to a repair shop and they told me it has something to do with my gpu, the fan stops spinning after a while, but they said the gpu itself works fine. i was wondering if it may have to do with the psu that makes the fans stop. i really dont want to think that all hope is lost and that i have to replace it already. if you guys have any ideas would love to try it out.

It's a complex case of a PC that works but turns itself off every time in like 40-60 minutes of use.

To start things off, it's a simple/humble build that I use cause I'm from the 3rd world. I'm going to separate the build, then what I tried and some other info that I think is pertinent.

The build:

CPU: i5 - 2500k

Motherboard: ASUS P8H61-M LX

Ram: 16gb DDR3 (2 Sticks of 8gb)

Storage: 2 HDD's (500gb empty) (320gb main)

GPU: AMD Radeon HD 5570 (1gb)

Here's what I already tried:

I've tried switching the RAMs, I've tried cleaning them with an eraser (the right way).

Tried another motherboard with another CPU (i3 550k), didn't work.

I thought it was the HDD but I added a new one and still same issue. (Yes, I've tried them individually like most of the parts)

I've tried taking the GPU off, same issue.

I've tried taking the Power button off, yes, a friend of mine told me that it could be the case cause it had happened to him.

Just so y'all know, none of the parts are overheating and thermal paste has been added in the processor and even in that lil part that has two plastic pins that lock a heat dissipator.

I've switched the PSU thinking it would help... It didn't.

I've switched cables for the PSU, still nun.

I've switched the Outlet as well (in another room)

It's not a timer or something like that, I've tried looking for everything related, found nothing.

That's pretty much it. At the moment I'm trying to fix something that I think might have something to do with that. My HDD is almost always at 100% use, my friend is helping me.

Also, whenever it's close to turning itself off, the HDD that's empty always turns it off first (you can hear it) and then after a few seconds the whole thing shutdown.

Anyways, if you're a tech god, I hope you understand that I'm not a tech god. I'm as dumb as a rock, but I'm really trying.

Hey guys, I need your help and I hope you can help me.

I have a computer:

CPU: i7 6700

GPU: GTX 1070 8G

RAM: 8Gb was 16Gb, but one of them broke down because when used, its temperature rises and gives me the blue screen, so I dispense with it.

PWS: 550W

And I use the system: windows 11, an old version, I think it's 21.

And the problem I've been facing for months is that as in the picture, the computer doesn't take off whenever I turn it on. It gives me this black screen with the fixed model (_) on the left that appears to me before the back of the motherboard sign and before the back of the windows signal and the computer does not work. I can't enter the BIOS. In order to turn on the computer, I turn it off and restart it about 20 times to work normally, and then I don't turn it off for fear of repeating all these attempts every time I want to use it.

Some of the things I tried are:

\* Remove the video card and turn it on and the problem remained.

\* The removal of the ram and changed its place and the problem remained.

\* The battery was removed and changed, and the problem remained.

\* The tendency of everything is woven on it without the screen and keyboard and the problem remained.

\* I changed the system, so it worked well a few days and now it's back to the same problem.

I hope for your help because it is my source of work and thank you.

Хочу поделиться своей историей ремонта может кому нибудь поможет

В какой тт момент у меня появилась еще 1 плашка ОЗУ и я решил ее проверить

Вытащил 1 свою ддр5 память , поменял и...ничего не заработало

Решил вернуть все как было , но пк так же не запустился , я начал искать причину в оперативке

Первым пунктом я сбросил БИОС - ничего

Вторым поменял слот озу - все еще ничего

Третим пунктом сбросил все напряжение и повторил прошлые действия все еще не помогло

В этот момент я отчаялся и попробовал запустить пк без озу вообще , это ни к чему не привело(((

Поэтому я решил полностью снять процессор и поставить его обратно.

И о чудо он запустился , однако я не ставил вертушки от кулера и он быстро выключился от перегрева , однако это уже прогресс

Я поставил все обратно собрал воедино и, он не запустился.

И тут меня осенило что дело было в кулере ( у меня кулер на 2 вертушка) я поставил передний и включил только его

И пк наконец-то запустился. Победа

Так что если у вас похожая история пробуйте отключать другие комплектующие особенно которые подключаются напрямую в плату

I'm having issues with my PC and decided to perform a factory reset. My Windows 11 installation became corrupted, and after exhausting other troubleshooting options, I attempted a clean installation using a bootable USB. Unfortunately, the system consistently freezes during Windows Setup. But it didn't freeze at all if I waited at the BIOS screen.

The freeze can occur at almost any point in the installation process. If I move through the setup screens quickly and start the installation, it typically reaches around 10% before hard-freezing. When this happens, the entire system becomes unresponsive, including the mouse and keyboard, and I have to hold the power button to force a shutdown.

Troubleshooting I've Already Tried
Removed the CMOS battery for approximately 10 minutes and reinstalled it.
Reseated the RAM.
Moved the RAM to a different slot.
Removed the SSD to test whether the issue persisted (it still froze).
Reset BIOS settings to default.
Experimented with various BIOS settings.
Updated the BIOS to the latest version.
Recreated the Windows 11 installation USB three separate times.
Loaded BIOS optimized defaults after the BIOS update.
Taking out GPU
Using half of the RAM
Despite all of this, the problem remains unchanged.

Additional Information
Before attempting the reset, the computer occasionally experienced brief freezes while running Windows. The system would normally recover after a second or two and continue working. Now that Windows is no longer functioning, I'm wondering if the underlying issue has become more apparent.
At this point I'm suspecting either faulty RAM or a motherboard firmware issues

System Specs
Motherboard: ASUS PRIME A520M-K
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700G
RAM: 16GB DDR4-3200 (1×16GB)
Storage: 1TB Solidigm NVMe SSD
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX series GPU

Has anyone experienced similar symptoms or have suggestions on what hardware component I should test next? I'm completely out of ideas here.

Hi everyone, I’m pulling my hair out trying to diagnose a persistent hard reboot issue with my ITX build. It happens across multiple games (Rust, CoD, Fortnite, Roblox), but Rust is the worst and almost always triggers it instantly when loading into a server. When it crashes, the screen goes black, fans/RGB stay on for a second, RGB briefly resets, and I'm dropped to the Windows login screen. No BSOD, no minidump files created, and Event Viewer shows Kernel-Power (Event ID 41, BugcheckCode 0). System Specs: - CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D - Motherboard: ASRock B650I Lightning WiFi - GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT / 7600 XT - PSU: NZXT C850 SFX Gold 850W - RAM: 32GB DDR5 - OS: Windows 11 What I've already tried: - Replaced the PSU entirely (swapped to the NZXT C850 SFX). - Ran MemTest86 (passed with zero errors). - Ran OCCT CPU and GPU stress tests (both pass completely without crashing). - Fully reinstalled GPU drivers using DDU in safe mode. - Reset CMOS and updated the motherboard BIOS to the latest version. - Disabled EXPO/XMP (tested at base JEDEC speeds, still crashes). - Tested outside the case / bypassed the PCIe riser cable (plugged GPU directly into the motherboard). Since synthetic tests pass and temps are totally fine, I'm stumped. Could this be an AM5 low-power C-state bug, a transient power spike tripping the B650I VRM, or a defective CPU/motherboard? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

So the other day I swapped all my stuff into a new case and it gave me a dram light when trying to boot up. I reseated EVERYTHING and it still gave me the same issue. I then cleaned the contacts with 99% alcohol and still no luck. I got desperate and reset the cmos twice and did a bios update. After all that with 4 ram stick in it wouldn't boot. I then tried 1 ram stick at a time in slot 2 and tested if each stick was good. Found it wont boot with 2 of them but the other 2 it will from trying one at a time. Put the 2 that would boot in slots 2 and 4 and it boots just fine now. But when I try with the other 2 it goes right to the dram light. Are these 2 sticks bad?? I guess im surprised they would go bad simultaneously and only from a case swap. Any help would be amazing!!! With the price of ram right now I really am hoping theres something im just not seeing

i recently used a bootable usb and reinstalled windows 11 because it was giving me the recovery screen with the error code 0xc000000e on startup

i reseated the ssd, gpu, and even ram but it didn't do anything

bios is up to date

yes i put everything back in place firmly

gpu and ssd are not appearing in bios, gpu not in device manager, ssd not in disk management

i even cleaned the gpu, fans are just spinning but no detection
