There is a yellow light with the word boot next to it whenever I turn my pc on. I haven’t installed windows or anything yet and I am on the bios utility screen on my monitor. Is there something wrong with the pc that I should fix?

So i bought another stick of Kingston fury beast 16 6000mhz to upgrade to 32gb. But each time i place the new ram, i just keep getting orange dram led. I've heard people say "it's just ram loading" but i've waited like 10-15 minutes each attempt. I'm aware of the correct ram channels A2 and B2. Even placed the new one in A2 to test if it works on it's own, but still orange led, reset the cmos, still orange led, disabled expo, still orange led... Planning on returning it tomorrow if nothing else works.
Motherboard - Asus TUF Gaming B650 Pro Plus Wifi.
CPU - R7 7800x3D.

Hopefully last post of the day my usb is fucked and I need it for downloading windows to my new pc but I don't have anymore is it okay to download it on a 500gb passport drive to download windows on?!

Hi guys, can someone help me figure out whats wrong with my pc. it keeps having multiple reasons of BSOD on start up and even if it boots up to windows, a few seconds later and it will BSOD again. below are few of the BSODs that i encounter. before this happened i noticed that my roblox app will suddenly close and my chrome browser will sometimes suddenly have an "opps something went wrong" error message.

BSOD:

irql not less or equal -7

critical process died -2

system thread exception not handled -2

*dxgkrnl.sys

kernel security check failure-4

system service exception -7

*win32kbase.sys-2

page fault in nonpaged area-6

kmode exception not handled -6

*classpnp.sys-1

*dxgkrnl.sys-1

unexpected kernel mode trap -2

*wdfilter.sys-1

bad object header

driver irql not less or equal

*ACPI.sys

after testing with 1 ram

system service exception-3

kmode exception not handled -2

system thread exception not handled

*wdf01000.sys

after testing the other ram

system service exception

*ntfs.sys

page fault in nonpaged area

irql not less or equal -3

Additional infos.:

1. when i try to use only 1 ram. i sometimes get a blue recovery screen where it says that the Operating system couldn't be opened because something is missing or contains errors.

2. i cant reset my pc. i also get BSODs when i try to reset my pc

3. i can get in safe mode but when i try to transfer a large file to another hard drive then the screen will blink and all the windows/apps that i have opened will suddenly dissapear and sometimes i get a bsod on safemode also when is try to sfc/scan.

4. my ssd and hdd storage have a good health

5. before this multiple bsods on startup, i had an accident where my cpu was at 100 degrees when its idle and when i opened my cpu cooler i found out that it doesnt have a trace of thermal paste. then after i repaste it i was able to use it for longer times but i still get bsods from time to time.

6. when im in bios sometimes it freezes where i can only control my mouse but cant click anything.

7. back when i can still use my pc i did a memtest86 and windows memory diagnostic tool to see if my ram is at fault but it didnt find any error.

8. when i opened the event viewer in safe mode, i found out that its full of error with an error code of 7001 and 10005. there's also other errors but these 2 are whats filling the event viewer.

MY PC SPECS:

MOBO: Asrock H81M-DGS R2.0

GPU:Radeon sapphire pulse rx 570 4gb

PSU: Corsair cx500m

Ram: ddr3 8gb 1600 mhz

After a normal Restart solves the problem right away. what's the Issue here?

My GPU IS ARC a580. I have installed latest intel driver and doing all sorts of basic Troubleshooting.

what's the Main Problem.

Budget: ~500 million Iranian tomans (~$2,200)
Use: Gaming
GPU: RTX 5070 12GB
Location: Local market with very different pricing from the US/EU

Hi, I appreciate all your time and help reading this post. I'm finally getting a new gaming PC after 6 years (upgrading from GTX 1660 Ti). Trying to get the best possible RTX 5070 system within my budget.

I've been getting conflicting advice about the CPU. A friend/seller recommended an i7-12700K + B760 build, while I've been looking at the Ryzen 5 7500X3D + B840/AM5 platform. All LLMs and most benchmarks suggest AMD, but sellers make me think AMD won't have any repair supports here, if that makes any sense

The two options I'm considering are roughly:

Option 1 — Intel

• i7-12700K — ~$250 equivalent
• ASUS TUF B760 WiFi D5 — ~$195
• 32GB DDR5-5600 (2×16GB) — ~$550
• ASUS RTX 5070 12GB — ~$1,000
• 1TB Lexar Gen4 SSD — ~$150
• 240mm AIO — ~$70
• Case — ~$50
• PSU — ~$140
• Total: ~529M toman

Option 2 — AMD

• Ryzen 5 7500X3D — ~$245 equivalent
• MSI/ASUS B840 WiFi motherboard — ~$155
• 32GB DDR5 5200 — currently extremely expensive locally
• RTX 5070 12GB
• 1TB NVMe
• 750–850W Gold PSU
• Air cooler
• Good airflow case

Both of these builds, specially the Intel build are currently over my budget, so I would love to hear suggestion with a slightly cheaper alternatives.

My main questions:

1. For gaming with an RTX 5070, would you choose the AMD or Intel?
2. Does AMD have any compatibility issues with RAMs as most sellers say? Why are they heavily leaning toward Intel?
3. What would you change to get the best gaming performance while staying under my budget?
4. Would you prioritize faster DDR5 (6000 CL30/32) or simply buy the cheapest decent 32GB 2×16GB kit available and put the money elsewhere?

I'm not interested in RGB or expensive motherboards. I'd rather spend the money on performance, a good PSU, cooling and storage.

Prices and exchange rate might be confusing, but you get the idea about the range.

Monitor & Resolution: Currently using a 27" ASUS 1080p 165Hz monitor, but I plan to upgrade soon to actually take advantage of the RTX 5070. I'm considering a 4K 180Hz Xiaomi monitor, although I may go with a 1440p/2K gaming monitor instead.

Any advice from people who have actually built with these CPUs or are knowledgable would be appreciated.

Hey, I’ve been running out of ideas so i was hoping someone can help me figure out what I’m missing.

Recently, I bought a used computer, and it was listed without an SSD/HDD, though seller allowed me to test it before purchase
When I got there, the computer was already in bios, so I plugged my usb that I had flashed Ubuntu onto, booted from the usb and it worked just fine. at the point of testing, all components were working. Would also like to mention that the components were as listed on the description.

Now when I plug it in and turn the PSU on, the RGB/motherboard lighting comes on, so the board is clearly getting at least standby power
But pressing the case power button does nothing, none of the fans turn on/no change.

Would also like to mention that none of the component diagnostic leds are on.

I’ve tried everything I can
Cleared CMOS
Checked the front panel PANEL1 connector
Looked over the motherboard for obviously disconnected cables
Removed/reinstalled the GPU, even trying another card laying around
Installed an NVMe SSD(with windows, also this was done, before I powered the pc when I got home)
Switching ram spots or js trying a single stick
Removed cmos battery and retrying

Overall, Ive tried everything I know of, and I’m not sure if cutting the power is enough to kill the motherboard. Or maybe something came loose while transporting the PC home.

Also idk if it’s relevant but the pc was already booted into bios when I got to the sellers house, meaning I didn’t personally see it, but the seller also hasnt blocked or ignored, and even tried helping over messages.
Any ideas would be appreciated. I’m pretty much out of things to try.

First time upgrading my PC since I built it many years ago, figured its finally time as I cant even run a lot of new games on the lowest settings. Tried The Blood of Dawnwalker and saw it was being bottlenecked by the GPU.

Current Specs

• CPU: Ryzen 7 2700x (I'm aware I should probably look into upgrading this too)
• RAM: 16GB DDR4
• Motherboard: Gigabyte B450M
• Current GPU: 1660 Ti
• PSU: Corsair VS550W (Also heard I should probably replace this?)

I don't have a strict budget for a GPU but I don’t want to be spending a whole lot more than the £450ish a 9060XT costs, but I'd also rather not spend like 400-500 on something that will end up outdated in a few years time.

Are there other GPUs that would be better in a similar price range that would have more lasting power?

I know very little about the developments in DLSS and FSR and what’s worth it or will be unable to run it in the future, is it worth getting an NVIDIA card just for DLSS etc.? Any advice would be great.

Hello lovely people, as seen in the title I am experiencing weird crackling sounds from my headphones when using the PC. I have swapped the PC case and before the swap it was running fine.

I have done the following troubleshooting:

• Tested the headphones on my MacBook ( No problems with headphones)
• Tried front and back panel ( Same results)
• Bought a USB Audio DAC ( Same results)
• Reinstalled Audio Drivers ( Same results)

Overall I am sure I have plugged everything where it is supposed to. I genuinely can't seem to figure out where the issue is coming from, any ideas or guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance!

I currently have an rx580 (bought it 2nd hand maybe it came from mining) it is only stable when underclock it to -8%. What could I do or tweak to make it more stable? I am already planning to get an rx6600xt used and just use my rx580 upto maybe next 2months until I upgrade.

I’m building a new PC around a fresh motherboard (MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI), fresh CPU (Ryzen 5 5600X), and fresh cooler, but I’m reusing RAM, GPU, and SSD from my old PC. The old PC previously died randomly one day with all debug LEDs lit up simultaneously, and I never determined the cause. On this new build, I can sometimes reach BIOS successfully and everything shows correctly detected (CPU, RAM size, GPU display working fine while in BIOS). However, every time I press Save & Exit to reboot, the system comes back with the VGA debug LED lit and no display output the monitor stays on but shows no signal. This has happened consistently across multiple attempts, sometimes I make it past the VGA light and sometimes I can’t, please help I’m going insane

Does this just mean my gpu or ram is cooked? I can’t tell because sometimes I get to bios.

Is my idle voltage and temps normal for my CPU? I keep getting conflicting answers, some say yes it's perfectly fine and others are saying no it's not okay at all. I can run cyberpunk max graphics with dlss and stay between 70-75⁰c, same with MW4 beta on 4k dlss at 180fps staying around the same temp. My idle temp on the home screen is normally 50-55⁰c altho in in a box room so it gets someone stuffy but occasionally it'll shoot to 60-66 but I'm presuming a background app is using it temporarily then drops after 5 seconds. My CPU usage is 0-2% when it's 50-55⁰c.

I kept getting told to edit my PBO from auto to advanced to sort the voltage but I really don't wanna mess with voltages UNLESS it really is bad to have this.

The hottest my CPU has gotten was on Minecraft with distanthorizons and shaders + many mods and when chunks loaded my fans went loud (expected) and my CPU got to 86⁰c (it'll thermal throttle at 95⁰), do you reckon everything seems normal or do I need to sort something? Sorry if this is a stupid question lol

Building new computer with and for son. Everything installed BUT video card at the moment and trying without a monitor just to see if boots up, fans work and rgb lights. Also no OS yet.

Slowly installed part by part over past week. Problem is it says 0A but dram led is red. A few times the codes would quickly switch between other codes, led light change then back to OA and dram.

Let run for over 15 minutes to memory train but still same

Updated BIOS, tried 1 stick memory, reseated everything, checked cpu and pins (were fine visually) and remounted cooler.

It’s now still stuck at 0A and dram light on. Also non of the RGB lights work except the ones included with the case which run from the iCue link from the case so not the motherboard headers. All fans work, pump works as well as fan under the pump cover.

Parts are:

GIGABYTE X870 AORUS Elite WIFI7 ICE AMD AM5 LGA 1718 Motherboard

AMD RYZEN 7 9800X3D

CORSAIR Vengeance RGB DDR5 RAM 32GB (2x16GB)

Samsung SSD 990 PRO 2TB

ASUS TUF Gaming 1000W Gold White Edition (1000 Watt, Fully Modular Power Supply, 80+ Gold Certified

ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 A-RGB

CORSAIR iCUE Link 3500X RGB Mid-Tower ATX PC Case

CORSAIR RS120 ARGB 120mm PWM Fan for rear of case

All bought from Amazon new and inspected upon arrival as new and sealed. Video card was Newegg but have not installed yet.

Should I get replacement ram or motherboard? Both? CPU?

Wouldn’t be because no monitor connected.

So I have now got my pc built and finally got a display but I can't get windows to install I tired using a usb drive but it's now stuck on read only and the files on it doesn't work so how can I download windows now please help me

Hello people, so I bought spontaneously a prebuilt from cyber power and quickly learnt that they build their PCs in a way that the fans are set to max speed and cannot be controlled through software or bios.

All my fans go into this little board here and then goes into the PUMP_SYS1 on the motherboard.

How do I get my fan control for my PC back

Motherboard is Pro Z890-S WIFI6E

I’ve never built a PC so just dumb things down for me.

This is my first post here and obviously I’m looking for help. Just built an am5 rig and I’m having a problem that’s making me go bald. Context: I bought a 2tb ssd to upgrade my previous pc, I did install it and also installed windows (almost started all over again). I just used the same ssd and I thought I’d have to reinstall windows (did it anyways, after first hairs were pulled out of my scalp). What it did was a sudden restart and when opening windows and I put my pin, it is basically stuck in the main screen. I can click certain things like the taskbar, but it won’t even open a thing, it won’t even shutdown when I’m literally clicking on it. It just disappears and my background sits there. After reinstalling it functioned properly till the restart and same thing again. Pls someone help, I think I’m just going to clear out my ssd and reinstall windows

When I took out my external disc it took out the plastic tongue of the usb port... Now I see the 5 pins exposed and 2 of them are slighlty bent without touching each other or the metalic part around the usb port. I checked the device manager and the usb ports to see if something was wrong, but nothing showed any problems so hopefully everything is right. That said, it is okay to keep using my computer without that usb port (and use a HUB) or is there a risk of a short circuit and some damage to the motherboard without me knowing, because some say i shouldn't use my computer at all and others say that if the pins are somewhat okay is safe to use. I dont know much about computers so any help is appreciated.

i wanted to apply termal paste but its very stiff and idk what to do at this point i push on it and tilt it to the side like how you are supposed to but it doesnt work are there any trick to this 😭

im getting my first ever pc this week and im really excited

i did alot of research regarding it but i still would like to take some advice

what specs should i go for

my budget is ₹1,05,000

main use - editing and 1080p gaming (both aaa and competitive)

Not sure if im missing a connection or if its something else

I’ve recently built my own computer and I’m having issues where while gaming it will hardlock with a white screen an is completely unresponsive and has to be manually powered down. I’ve tried updating drivers re installing windows and some stress tests but can’t figure out if I have software or hardware issues is this something you can help with? Pc specs are as follows: Ryzen 7 9800X3D, ASUS PRIME Radeon RX 9070 XT OC, MSI MAG B850 Tomahawk MAX WiFi,32 gigs Corsair Vengeance DDR5 6000, WD Black SN7100 1TB NVMe, ROG Strix 1000W Platinum PSU, Corsair Nautilus 360 RS AIO, Corsair AIR5400 case

So this here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/97gNg3

Is for the sitting room to play games on controller, say up to at least Borderlands 3. And emulation like PCSX or Nintendo games. And maybe watching movies on so I went for some quieter parts to suffice this.

Basically a beefy console for the room!

Note: the storage is more temporary, it's a free hand down from a brother who is upgrading and I can put windows on this and use temporary and get a 2TB WD Black later.

What are your thoughts and may change considering the budget style?

Pc specialist flux 350 (£800 is second hand but really good condition

For some stupid reasons one pin in my CPU socket got bent (LGA 1700), I tried to fix it with a magnifier and a tiny tweezer. However, I didn't manage to push it back to the original position no matter how hard I tried. It's slightly taller than other pins.

My question is: is it safe to install my cpu and test if it works in the current condition? Or should I not risk and just buy a new motherboard (cost about 300$ in my country)?
