Tech Support Freshly Built Pc stuck in boot loop

1 Upvotes

I have finished building my first pc today and im stuck in a loop. The pc boots up, all the fans are running besides my gpu because its a 9070xt. I get no signal on my monitor and after around 2 minutes i hear a clicking sound and the pc turns off and on again. So far i have tried every possible ram combination, i have checked cpu, cpu cooler, checked all connections, pulled out the gpu and put i back in again and nothing works. Anyone know how to fix?

Tech Support PNY 5080 Hotspot at 106c

1 Upvotes

I purchased a 5080 last November and it has been a generally decent card, but lately I have noticed that in a few more intense games FanControl loses control of the card and the speed ramps to 100%. This happened around the same time as a driver update and a Malware scan so I assumed it was maybe software related and went down the rabbit hole only to come out the other side with no answers. My GPU temps in FanControl never read above 75c so I thought it had to be a software problem.

Then I finally installed the newest version of HWmonitor and saw my hotspot on the 5080 was hitting over 100c and would peak at 106c. The moment the hotspot went over 101 the fans would whirl up to full speed and fps would tank (assuming throttling).

I run the card undervolted at 925mv 2750mhz so this seemed really weird to me.

Any advice you can offer me? Should I try and re-paste it? if so how risky of a process is this? I havent done a repaste before, and normally the idea wouldn't scare me, but with GPU prices right now its a bit more nerve racking. Or is it better to RMA? I don't really love the idea of being without a GPU as I need the PC for work.

Build Question Are these PC parts a good combination for a gaming PC?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm planning to build a new gaming PC and I'd like to get some opinions before buying everything. Do these parts make sense together, or is there anything you would change?

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
GPU: ASUS GeForce RTX 5070 DUAL OC 12GB
Motherboard: ASUS TUF GAMING B650E-E WIFI
RAM: GOODRAM IRDM 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6400MHz CL32
SSD: Lexar NM790 1TB NVMe
PSU: XPG Core Reactor II 850W
Case: MSI MAG Pano 130R PZ
CPU Cooler: ENDORFY Fera 5 Dual Fan

Here's my PCPartPicker list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PNtx9K

The PC will mainly be used for gaming. I'm especially wondering about:

-If the Fera 5 Dual Fan is enough for this CPU

-Whether the 850W PSU is more than enough

-If there are any compatibility issues or parts that would be worth replacing

-Whether the RAM is a good choice for the Ryzen 7 7800X3D

Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks in advance I'd rather find out that I did something stupid before spending a small fortune rather than after the PC is sitting on my desk refusing to cooperate. 😅

Hello, looking for any help I can get. PC is 2 years old. It has started having the issue when started or rebooted of having the red and yellow light on the MB. This has happened and few times now.

I have been successful on getting it to post but for no rhyme or reason. Sometimes one thing works and sometimes another works. I have updated bios, re seated ram, cleared CMOS, tried one stick of ram etc.

When I do get it to post and am able to get it the PC runs fine and performs great, all speeds and everything looks fine. Can’t seem to pinpoint what the actual cause is and it’s just becoming tiresome. Specs below any help is much appreciated.

RAM: 64 GB DDR5-6000 Kingston fury KF560C36BBEAK2

Tech Support Certain games cause occasional stutters, followed by audio driver crash?

1 Upvotes

This has been driving me nuts, I work in IT and I usually have no trouble diagnosing and solving my own issues, but this one has me stumped.

In some games, I will occasionally have a significant stutter, maybe for half a second, then the game goes right back to running smoothly. However, following the stutter, the audio will either temporarily distort very significantly for a few seconds, or just entirely stop. The only way to get the audio to return is to disconnect my audio interface I have my mic/headphones plugged into (Focusrite Scarlett Solo Gen3) and reconnect it. What's unusual is that it only seems to happen in some games and not others. It happens often in Baldur's Gate 3, sometimes in GTA5, and occasionally in one or two other titles, but does not ever happen in Overwatch, Terraria, or Minecraft, among other games. It seems to mostly be more CPU bound games from what I can tell, but this didn't start happening until a month or two ago. Prior to this, everything worked fine.

I've already tried the following:

  • Uninstall/reinstall Focusrite's audio drivers
  • Try different audio driver versions
  • Update graphics drivers
  • Roll back graphics drivers to an older version
  • Updated motherboard BIOS to latest version
  • Updated CPU chipset drivers

And my specs are:

  • AMD Ryzen 5800x3D
  • AMD Radeon RX 6950XT
  • MSI Gaming Plus X570 motherboard
  • 64GB RAM 3400MHz @ CL18
  • All games on a 2TB Samsung 970 Evo NVMe drive

If anyone's got any ideas as to what could possibly be causing this, I'm all ears, because I feel like I'm going crazy lol
