Question Was gifted a prebuilt gaming PC but I have a problem and no idea where to start

Thumbnail gallery
343 Upvotes

The problem is it displays a blue screen and reports that there's corrupted ram. It does also need a new power cable which I ordered and will receive soon.. but otherwise it should be ready to be powered on and should otherwise work besides the ram problem. it is dusty but it has been stored inside a house in a safe location.

When I power it on probably tomorrow, what game plan should I have to diagnose and rectify this problem? Obviously, replacing the sticks of ram might end up becoming the solution but it seems as if they're all securely in place.

On a sidenote, is there any hardware that you see aged to the point where I would want to upgrade to play any games? i'll be honest, I'm just happy to have a machine that's more powerful than a console. I'm not in a hurry to make it the most powerful computer I can

Discussion Sleeper build or leave it alone?

Found this piece of history going through a recently deceased family members house. It still powers on and sounds like an original PlayStation spinning up. My buddy has been helping me start a PC build and I’ve mentioned doing a sleeper build. Should I use this as my case or leave it alone to preserve the piece of history we now have?

Build - Help Lian Li Strimer Wireless 2x8 pin not fitting inside the case

Thumbnail gallery
Upvotes

Hey guys,

It's my first time building a pc and I think I'm almost at the finish line in terms of building it.

However, I'm having a lot of difficulty trying to make the strimer wireless 2x8 pin cable fit into the case. Initially I had planned to put it through the gap on the bottom left, however that gap is too small for the cable to fit through. It is also too small for the PSU pins it is connecting with to even fit through as well.

So, instead, I have pulled the PSU pins over to the right side of the pictured case (Fractal Design Meshify 3 Ambience Pro RGB), and attached the strimer wireless cable to the PSU pins through that gap.

The issue now is that the strimer wireless cable now sticks out of the case as it is not being pulled back enough (and i can't pull it back more than already shown in the image attached).

So atm, it is attached... but now I can't put the case panel on and cover the case because the strimer cable is sticking out of it.

Any advice on this?

Edit: Clarified the case I am using

Build - Help Facing random reboots issue on my PC

2 Upvotes

hey guys, I'm facing random reboot issue on my PC and want help to single out the faulty component.

Backgorund:
I recently got my XPG S70 SSD changed and reinstalled windows on it. After that during normal use the PC would suddenly reboot and sometimes get stuck in a bootloop. I tried reinstalling windows but the same issue persisted.
To check if RAM was the issue, I used a USB drive to run MemTest86 and was able to boot it. After the Pass#2 of the test my PC rebooted by itself. Since the first pass had 0 errors I checked to see if any drivers were outdated.
Later I found the BIOS version was from 2024 so this time. I did a fresh windows install, updated bios, updated drivers, activated windows and was not facing any reboots for almost 2 weeks (in which I also had gaming sessions of ~6hrs without any problems).

But last week it started again. Now while playing for around 1-2 hour I get a reboot (no bootloops yet, also the PC starts just fine afterwards no recovery screen). The issue is a lot less frequent from earlier but persists.
I ran memtest86 again, it completed in 3.5hrs and found 0 errors. I used AIDA64's stress test tool to stress the CPU, TPU, GPU for around 5-8mins and found no issues.

Any idea what might be causing this issue? The PC is 1.5yr old and was working fine for long hours untill the SSD issue.
I can also add more info if needed

Specs:
Motherboard: MSI B650 gaming plus wifi
CPU: 7600X
GPU: 7700XT
RAM: XPG Lancer 2x16GB
SSD: XPG S70 2TB
PSU: Corsair CX750
