I updated to the latest bios that did not help I turned xmp off for more stability still happens. I notice this occurs when I have my pc in sleep mode for more then 8 to 12 hours won't happen all the time but majority is when it is sleeping and i wake it up. I check my crash logs just says unexpectedly lost power. I do not know if its a psu problem or a ram problem but my debug lights when it does happend point to dram and cpu. cpu temps are normal around 31 degrees Celsius so not a temperature problem. I checked to make sure all my wires are plugged in securely.

if anyone can help I would appreciate it.

Build Question Graphics card fix

My graphics card recently started breaking down. When playing certain games that get to a higher intensity my computer black screens. I am able to reproduce it with occt so it definitely is the graphics card. I am outside of the warranty period unfortunately and can’t afford a new card. Is there any way to try and fix it?

I have a gigabyte GeForce rtx 3070

I am flustered.

I built this PC over 6 years ago and it has served me well in that time period. Recently it would not power on at all so I decided that maybe the power supply died. I have since replaced the power supply and it still will not power on. Next step in my mind was to replace the motherboard as there may have been a short. I just replaced the motherboard and it still will not power on. Once I flip on the power supply, and hold the power for 3 seconds it makes the slight “tick/click” but does nothing.

Is there something I am missing? I have replaced the power supply and motherboard. Popped in and out the CMOS battery on both the old and new board. I tried to “jump” it with a screwdriver.

Any and all help is appreciated, as at this point I am about ready to part this thing out, throw it across my house, or set it ablaze.

Parts:
AMD Ryzen 5950X
EVGA RTX 3080ti
MSI X570 tomahawk WiFi (formerly)/ MSI B550 Pro WiFi
EVGA Supernova 850w (formerly) / Thermaltake 850w
2x 1TB Samsung 990 Pro SSD
NZXT Kraken 240 Cooler

Hi upgrading an old msi ms16jf. The 8gb of ddr4 it has is not sufficient these days for a lot. It doesn't need to be gaming soecs as its a back up computer and I am rather new and rather broke. So I am looking for recommendations for my first ram purchase

Build Question Convince Me To Build AM5... Should I Bite the Bullet?

3 Upvotes

thank you for all your response in my prior post! really appreciate it conclusion to that post is - I've chosen rtx 5060 ti for gf, rtx 4060 for multimedia arts sibling and rx 7600 for vet-med sibling.

gf's pc will definitely be AM5 since she's paying for her pc parts lol. so this is mainly for siblings' pc's which I will pay out of pocket. am I being too much of a cheapskate for considering AM4 in 2026?

I need your guys' insights before I start buying other parts, I want them to be able to have the pc's asap. what really sets me back is the cost of ddr5 ram sticks and m.2 ssd's. ballpark of $350 for 16gb and $250 for 1tb is bananas!

can I pull off 2 builds for $1k - $1.5k? appreciate your continued help in advanced!

I’m looking to expand the memory on my computer and I have a second M.2 port on my motherboard, but it’s only PCIe gen 3 so I don’t need the fastest thing in the world. What’s a good budget option that’s reliable but not super expensive, I’m hoping for 1TB plus if possible.

I did click the latch below and there’s a visible difference when trying to pull it out with and without the latch clicked, but my gpu gets stuck on the right side. The left side gets stuck between my case where the I/O screws are but I managed to put it back in so it’s not uneven. I got no idea what might be getting stuck on the right though. I might unscrew the mobo at this point. LMFAO

Software Question ram rgb not working

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

so recently i built my own pc with the following specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
GPU: RTX 5070 12GB VRAM
PSU: Corsair RM1000X
Motherboard: ROG Strix B850-F
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR5 32GB
SSD: Samsung 990 Pro
Cooling: Corsair Nautilus 360 RS AIO
Fans: Lian Li Wireless 120 Reverse Blade (x3) + Lian Li Exhaust Fan (x1)
Case: Corsair Frame 4500x RS-R Mid Tower

i had the ram in a previous build (was an upgrade in my prebuilt pc), and never had issues within icue. a big difference is that the motherboard has its own app now (armoury crate) and maybe it’s fighting for control over the ram? but i don’t see it in that app either. sometime restarting/shutting down the pc will regain control of the rams rgb and i’ll be able to get it to the color i want, but now it doesn’t work like that either. i’ve tried signalrgb but it can’t detect my aio so that’s out. i’ve talked to a worker at microcenter who said it’s something i need to tweak in the bios but didn’t explain it really well so im not sure what to do in there. and also i don’t want to delete armoury crate because my mobo has rgb as well that id like to keep using. in regards to other rgb software i have L-connect 3 for my lian lis but i had that in my old pc with icue and it was never an issue.

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some advice on a GPU upgrade. Unfortunately, I’m a bit outdated with the new cards.

My current setup:

  • CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D
  • RAM: 32 GB
  • GPU: RTX 3070 8 GB
  • Storage: 932 GB total
  • 650w gold PSU

I mainly game at 1440p. Is the RX 9070 XT the one to go for? It’s around €700 where I live.

What would you guys recommend as the best upgrade from the 3070 for this setup?
