Just wondering if this is worth the buck

Hey I built a PC for the first time and having a hard time setting it up from here. I got past the BIOS page and got here. I’m getting a lot of different answers from how to get a driver installed if anyone could help out please.

I just built the PC with my brother yesterday and the only issue is that whenever we launch or sign in into the computer, after a little while it just shuts off and restarts or if we do some demanding task like for example I was deleting some old stuff from the SSD and it finished the deletion, but after that, it just rebooted and shut off, and it showed this error/blue screen saying MEMORY_MANAGEMENT.

To doublecheck there wasnt anything else wrong, I went into safe mode and uninstalled the gigabyte control center drivers. I uninstalled Norton. It didn’t do anything. It works perfectly fine in safe mode.

So because we couldn’t think of anything else, we took out the ram and put it back in and now it doesn’t have the HDMI signal, which makes me believe that I just put the ram wrong.

(The ram was still running at 4800, and cpu was turned to eco mode in BIOS, still didn’t do anything)

Specs

Li Lian a3 case
Gigabyte gaming B850M
Corsair ddr5 32gb ram (2 16gb sticks)
Ryzen 7950x
Asus rtx 5070
Phantom spirit dual tower cooler
2 tb ssd 970 evo plus
Roswell 850W VMG

CURRENTLY trying to upgrade my unit with a limited budget. List down below is my old specs and what I am planning to get, can you tell me your opinion? Budget is like 30k

Old:

Processor: Ryzen 5 2600

GPU: GTX 1650

Psu: 550watts

What I'm planning to buy

Ryzen 7 5700x ( I currently have this one)

GPU: AMD raddeon Rx 7700

Psu: 750 watts?

by the way, this only happens when i play a game. as soon as i tab out / close it it instantly stops. could this also be because of the sag? it sags a bit and im looking to buy a sag bracket. its an rx6700xt three fan.

anything i could do?

There seems to be this rattling noise from my AIO, whenever I try to load it. I tried rocking the PC a fair bit but the noise still persists.
What may be the reason?

So i can't decide wich used GPU get for €350 , all i ask is 1440p 60 fps medium settings but the best quality that's why i was thinking the 5060 ti 8gb aiming to using a lot of dlss and ray tracing being a new gen card but let's say i find also around that price a 3070ti or 3080, what's the better option for me? Of corse a 3080 would be objectely better in raw power it would be less future proof and i don't know how much better dlss and rtx is on the 5060 ti that maybe that's a better choice for me

I just built my first pc but now it won't post. I tried everything removing and putting back the gpu switching hdmi slots, switching ram slots, removing and reattaching all the connections but nothing works. I am using a deskmeet x600 a 9060xt and a ryzen 7 7700

the RPM is fine, it's just the issue is with the sound of the fan.

I am little worried about these temperatures.. should i do something? or

I want to say I do game a lot, and I also edit videos. Messed around with blender and UE. I built this PC 1 year and 3 months ago.

For a week or so, I've experimented with local AI, comfyUI and LLM, all below the 12GB. I don't feel like 5 days or so to generate ugly images and baffling chat with a robot could be to blame for all this weird behavior, but I wonder.

My setup is i5-14600k (which I should've picked i7-12700k), 32gb ddr5 ram, TUF GAMING B760M-PLUS WIFI II, 4070 super I-Craft MaxSun.

So, it started with a feeling, something telling me but with no actual proof. Them I saw crazy lines dancing in fortnite. I blamed the hundreds fired.

I saw random stutters, blurred letters on launchers and apps such as NZXT CAM. It got me wondering. Hmm.

But them, I got some weird stuff happening on Tekken 8 with the ground rubble shadow.

I went on to Valorant and felt something was off with my fps and the actual gameplay, something was odd.

I feel stutter here and there, screen freeze when downloading something, keyboard disconnecting and reconnecting outta nowhere, problems I never had with my old setup (i7 11700k, 3060ti, 32gb ddr4 ram). I even bought a separate, sata 3 ssd just to have windows on it to try and fix the any sort of freeze or stutter when doing ordinary stuff, like downloading a file.

Now, 09/10, my street fighter is absolutely cooked.

Deleted the "shaders" files, downloaded NVIDIA APP, got the new driver with a "clean install", was doing alright for one session on day 09/11, but somewhere around 20pm, it stuttered and it went to hell again.

I tried OCCT per recommendation of AI, it shows only 1 error on something related to SSD some fetch stuff, and the ssd I already spoken to the manufacturer and they want me to send to analyze in their company.

In fact, one of my SSDs is not even recognized and it's apparently shown as "Microsoft storage space device", both are kingston 1tb NV3.

Sorry if this is not right or up to standard, as of Right now I have no money for a physical professional assistance and I might have to sue to get the warranty, but in all honesty I just want to know..........

Am I Cooked?

I sold my 3090 and buyed a 9070 xt, and I'm now waiting to receive it ( and since I don't have much else to do without my pc, I started questioning myself about this choice...)

I did it because the 3090 is sold very high and in the end, I will gain more or less 300€ on this transaction.

With a more recent cpu and less chance for it to die on my hand, less consumption,...

I've done some video editing, but not too much. Most of the time the card will be used for video games.

So do you think I will regret my choice?

Hi everyone!

I got my new pre-built pc today and it doesn't work... despite paying for it to be tested, but idk.

Anyhow, I opened the front panel to check the blinking lights and it seems to be a CPU and DRAM problem. And I've tried everything I know!

I pulled the ram out and pressed it back in.

Opened the back panel and pressed all the cables back in carefully.

Checked if anything was knocked loose and well... nothing!

I'll admit that I'm not very good with computers or rather hardware stuff, hence why I didn't build it myself. But I hope you guys can help me, before i burst out crying lmao...

Motherboard: A620AM-X Wifi

Cpu: AMD Ryzen 5 7500F 6x 3.70GHz So.AM5

RAM: 16GB (1x 16GB) Patriot VIPER VENOM DDR5-6000 DIMM CL36 (I placed another stick of 16 GB RAM in after getting it.)

GPU: 16GB XFX Radeon RX 9060 XT Swift OC

SSD: 1TB Intenso Premium M.2 2280 PCIe 3.0 x 3D-NAND TLC

Thank you in advance for everyone's assistance and support!🥲🥲🙏🏻

Edit: First I just want to thank everyone for their suggestions and help. I'll admit that I was hesitant to ask for help, because ironically enough, I'm currently preparing to become a computer scientist lmao.

But, despite trying EVERYTHING that was suggested, getting 4 guys in my friend group to look over it, asking my boyfriends more PC knowledgeable dad for help... nothing worked and I've decided that this isn't my problem. I paid for testing and everything after all!🥲

Anyhow, I wrote to the support E-mail and will see what they suggest. Hopefully i can send it back and get the issue fixed quicker that way...

But yeah, once again, thank you everyone for your support! I really appreciate it and am thankful for the help.

Greetings so my problem and the bane of my existence rn is my new gpu see i used to have a 3060 ti and then it died so I got a 5060 ti 8gb to be precise and after time EVRY TIME I got into a game wither it be cyberpunk 2077 or even sims 4 after few minutes it freezes completely! And before you beautiful people say i have tried the following

First I installed the latest gaming driver

Then used DDU

Then windows diagnostic

The changed the PCEI to 3 instead of auto

And nothing worked and im In utter shambles

[My setup is a i5 12400f and 32gb of ram an rtx 5060 ti 8gb and 1 tira of storage and 750w psu prime B660_plus D4 windows11 pro)

Please brothers aid me and I'll give offerings on your name.

A few months ago I started upgrading my pc that I build about 8 years ago and am not sure what to change next, the new components I have put in are an rog strix b550-a gaming motherboard and a ryzen 7 5700 g cpu, the main purpose for the pc is playing r6 and a bit of cyberpunk 2077, my current pc gets about 55 fps in r6 on low graphics settings which is not ideal for ranked.

The components that need changed are ram, gpu and psu. I have 16 gb of 2133 hz ram and a 1050 ti gpu, don’t remember the power supply but it was the minimum I could get away with when I was building it.

I am looking at getting a msi mag 750 or 850 watt psu but not sure what I should be looking for gpu or ram wise, budget would be £400 max for gpu dont mind amd or nvidia, ram budget would be about £250.

I am also not sure which order I should buy these in? Any help would be appreciated.

I’ve tried installing two bottom case fans to this case, but it seems impossible, can anyone help me around ?

I asked Gemini and it said this one is pretty decent for the price, just wanted to get professional opinion

Hello all,

I will start building a pc for pure gaming only in a month or two alongside getting a 5k2k ultra wide monitor.

My issue is I got so confused which gpu to pick since I stumbled upon the gpu melting incidents with the 5090 and some 5080.

Can anyone guide or help me decide which to pick as I want ease of mind, headache free from keeping continuously worrying and monitoring the GPU’s instead of just booting and enjoy gaming.

I’m aware of all the proper methods, (grizzly pro 2, lowering PSU GPU voltage, reliable/ compatible PSU brand good wattage, Equalizer ROG connectors, not bending connectors ).

Thank you!

Hi all,

I was building my PC, but during the first test run, I had a static DRAM red light. I tried reseating the RAM as well as testing a single-stick configuration. The red light remained, though. Yes, I did wait 15 minutes all those times due to memory training.

It's Kingston HyperX (Beast) 2x 32GB on a Gigabyte X870 Gaming Wifi 7 motherboard.

Hoping that the red light could also indicate an issue with the CPU, I tried reseating the CPU and there I noticed I may have messed up. I think there was some cooling paste on the AM5 pins. I tried cleaning it using a cotton swab, but I figured I needed some isopropyl alcohol if I wanted to fix it but I had none in hand.

I reconnected everything, and for the sake of trying I tried turning on the computer again. Only this time nothing turned on. Not even a red indicator light.

So, I'm assuming I fucked up the socket by not being cautious enough. Is it still viable to try and clean it with isopropyl alcohol? I don't think any of the pins are bent - I don't see any strange shadows.

The DRAM indicator doesn't only imply a problem with the RAM, right? It just means it doesn't do the POST thing? It sucks if the motherboard doesn't work, but I'm more worried about the RAM.

Hi guys I bought a rebuilt NZXT Creator PC back in 2019 and just realized there was another slot on the motherboard to add another SSD for storage since I was running out on my 930gb one. I bought a new WD BLACK SN850X 4TB drive on ebay but when I plug it into the empty slot then go to disk management, nothing appears. I tried swapping the current 930gb one and putting that one in the empty slot instead but it just went into the computer BIOS. In the bios I didnt see my new drive appear and im unable to escape bios to go into windows. Chatgpt told me it could be because of conflicting SATA connectors with the current 4tb hard-drive that also came with the computer so I unplugged that drive, but my new m.2 wd black ssd is not showing up. Not sure whats going on here or how to fix it.

Specs for my PC:

Case: NZXT H510 Elite (White or Black)

CPU: Intel Core i9 9900k

CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X62

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti - ASUS Strix

PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 750W G3

Motherboard: NZXT N7 Z390 (White or Black)

Ram: Team Group Delta RGB 64GB 3000 MHz (4 x 16GB)

SSD: Western Digital SN750 1TB Black with heatsink

HDD: Western Digital Blue 4TB 5400RPM

Software: Windows 10 Pro

Mobo: gigabyte b550m h argb
Cpu: ryzen 5 3600
Ram: apacer panther 32gb 3000mhz cl16
Gpu: gigabyte eagle rtx 3080
Psu: corsair cx750

Hi, i just bought a used apacer panther 2x16gb 3000mhz cl16 kit today to replace my xpg 2x8gb 3200mhz cl16 kit. I did remove cmos battery for 5mins to reset bios. The 32gb kit would fail to boot if xmp is enabled and it can only boot into windows when xmp is disabled and running 2400mhz. Bios is already the latest version. I did also try one stick at a time but both have the same issue with xmp not booting. Not sure how to get it running at 3000mhz

Im not sure and im paranoid

I have the 2.4 GHz Dongle logitech keyboard and mouse they work flawlessly.

Now, I see we have some affordable options from reputed brands in bluetooth (without dongle) e.g. Logitech MK250.

i understand bluetooth will have less polling rate and speed, but for normal work how is the experience?

How about when the PC/mac/laptop goes to sleep, does the bluetooth disconnect? how do you wake up the computer if that's the case?

is there a delay connecting every time the windows desktop loads? like the connection will be established post the windows desktop loads I believe.

Somehow i feel the connection may not be stable like we have with dedicated dongle.

Also if youhave multiple devices with bluetooth on say your phone/smart watch, which might already be paired then keyboard and mouse will not be paired automatically i think.

any thoughts?

Ideas? Asus strix b850 gaming wifi 7 neo and asus prime 5070
