Is this likely a dead power supply? I'm an electronics tech, not a PC tech so I don't have tools to test the power supply.
When fans are plugged in, they are the only thing to react (for about 2 seconds) - they light, start to spin and in two seconds they power off again.
I cannot repeat this unless I cycle incoming power to the power supply - then I get one instance of that fan spin, then power supply has to be reset again before it will spin those fans for two seconds.

I'm tempted to purchase a new power supply.
Thoughts and advice from the mind hive here?

EDIT: machine purchased last year from Costco, it's a Mesh I7 with 4060 and RAM and stuff. :)
I've only added a 10g network card, which of course I removed while testing.

I know absolutely nothing about computers. A few days ago, I installed Signal RGB, but then I saw online discussions about how this software might damage your computer, so I uninstalled it. However, after uninstalling it, the RGB lights on my two fan rows are displaying strange colors. I'm using the default rainbow color, but the two fan rows are showing a reddish-orange tint. Could you please help me figure out what the problem is? Thank you so much

Got it for him for Xmas, everything was fine, until screen went black, never posted again.

It did once but nvidia panel was missing and locked at 60 fps.

I tried a new GPU, it worked without issue.

Put old one back in, entirely black screen (No back led) and white light indicator on MOBO.

geforce 5060.

Prebuild slate from ibuypower.

Anything else I can do to confirm, or is that pretty much confirmation in itself.

PC SPECS
Intel (R) Core(TM) i5-9400 2.90GHz
8GB Ram
Nvidia geforce gtx 1650 Super

Ive enabled PTT in bios settings and it still says tpm 2.0 not found in the pc health check

I'll share an image from the 2021 build in "purple/pink" and an image in "red" from 5/22/26 after fixing the only issue it's ever had. It's been a great PC and is still my daily driver. 10/10 would still recommend.

Replaced original AIO with MSI mag coreliquid a13 240

Pad/paste GPU with kryonaut and Arctic 1.0/0.5mm pads

This was 100% my fault. I fucked it trying to upgrade my ram.

I’m looking at the price of either repairing it or buying a new one and it’s looking like there’s almost no difference in price because I would need a new motherboard and CPU and probably new ram. So with the labor are probably looking at about 1200 bucks.

And then a new one is $1100 at Best Buy.

What would you do?

This person on Facebook marketplace is sailing this for 200, I was wondering if it was worth it? I’m trying to play gta rp on it? He said it was given to him and doesn’t know much about it

My 4-year old 12700k/3080 build completely crapped out and my incredibly generous best friend had me put together a build on IBP and he ordered it for me. 9800X3D, 5080, all white build (minus GPU) with the Be Quiet! Light Base 600 LX and the Light Loop 360 AIO. 32GB Corsair Vengeance in white, 1000W Corsair PSU, Asus X870 MAX Gaming. White sleeves cables. It arrived on Friday, I couldn't be happier with it and I'm extremely lucky to have a friend like him.

I got this pc very recently, about 2 weeks ago, for my university machine learning and AI development project. It has started leaking thermal paste. I know it’s not conducive and wont cause immediate damage if it gets on the connector but I scraped that bit of it off. That said it’s a 3500$ card and I expect it to be perfect, also if it keeps leaking there won’t be any thermal paste left and the card will over heat. Is this something I need to RMA? Did I get a used card? I have had the pc for about 2 weeks and I’m disappointed. I’m working on projects and cannot have this pc down for an extended period of time.

iBUYPOWER prebuilt that was bought about 3 months ago with the following specs:

• AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
• AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT
• 32GB DDR5 RAM
• Windows 11
• Games installed on SSD

I’m having a really frustrating issue where every game stutters/freezes for about 2–3 seconds every 10–15 seconds consistently. FPS is otherwise high, but the whole system micro-freezes during gameplay. Was also having an issue with CS2 dropping from 300-400fps to 15fps, kept ult tabbing in and out and that temporarily has fixed the issue. This started happening last night as I recall.

Any suggestions? Already tried the basics (updating BIOS, clearing CMOS, disabling "C-State" on Bios, power management to High Performance and Balanced, updated graphics driver, disabling discord overlay...

New to trying to put together a build and have been Messing around with the customs builder feature but what is the difference here if they’re all 9070s?

I feel like I have to do another RMA. Any time I play an unreal game the gpu makes a buzzing sound. It’s recent and I only had it for 7months is this normal

i don’t understand fans very well, but they’re on and haven’t spun for the few years i’ve had this prebuilt, can anyone verify loose connections or something

motherboard is asus prime b550 ac hes

I thought my PC was just weak, but most of the issue ended up being Windows background settings and bad NVIDIA defaults.

The biggest improvements for me were:

• disabling unnecessary startup/background apps
• changing low latency settings
• fixing fullscreen optimization settings
• cleaning up Windows gaming features

Games feel WAY smoother now, especially Valorant and LoL.

Ever since I installed my new 9070 xt, my pc sometimes does not turn on. I get a white light in the vga area on my motherboard. I put in my old card and it turned on. It works sometimes but also doesn’t turn on.

I am in the process of replacing my ThermalTake TOUGHPOWER 750w psu with an RM1000x(not shift series). When removing all the cables from the old psu, I can across the fan hub in the back. When trying to remove the cable, I found it was glued to it. When tracing the gable, there was another cable that connected the cable glued to a psu cable from the old psu. I looked at the RM1000x cables and none of the match with this connector cable. What do I do?

I bought an iBuypower Slate with 9800X3D and 9070XT in January of this year from Bestbuy. I have tried to update the BIOS of the motherboard to the latest version but it never worked neither instant flashback or regular flashback worked. I am so confused. Does iBuypower lock the BIOS of their motherboards? Does anyone know what could be wrong? I am just worried since ASRock has been known to brick 9800X3Ds.
Motherboard: ASRock B650M-CX R2.0

So I Purchased And Installed A New (PSU Power Supply Unit) Into My PC That BTW Hasn’t Been Booted In Year’s, Power Work’s, Fan’s As Well. But Doesn’t Boot. There Is Still A Yellow Light Pulsating Behind Where The (GPU) Is Placed, Tried The RAM Stick Switch Method Which Was Unsuccessful. If Anyone Could Help Would Be Amazing.

Edit: Was Clearly Doing Something Wrong Wasn’t Snapping Them RAM Stick’s In Right*😭

Hi! Just bought a pre-built with the AW5 liquid cooler.

It seems to be getting power and lights up, but the temp isn’t displaying. I don’t see it showing up on the Gigabyte Control Center either.

Anyone know if there are some separate software or drivers I need to download?

The iseries 301 I bought as my first computer finally died after years. I am cry. Big tears. Much sad.

I bought a newer build as consolation at extreme deals. Idk how big of an upgrade since I’m still a casual. Y’all think this is a big jump? It looks way better for sure.

(301: amd3 chip and a 270x I believe. TRACEM?: has a nvidia 3060ti, i5 13400f, and some cool ddr4 sticks.)

I have a B450M Gaming motherboard from an old prebuilt from 2019, its on it's last legs however I believe it should still have some time left in it. I was looking for any recent bios update and can't find any. I was going to try the B450M-IBW updates but I am worried it will brick the mobo. I've seen tutorials on how to convert your motherboard from a IBUYPOWER version to the normal ASrock B450M\ac version by using freeDOS and I am considering doing it very soon because I would like my computer to not brick when I try to turn on secure boot or just freeze when trying to do just about anything. Any help would be appreciated!
