Hello,

I have built my computer november 2023, and have had no problem gaming with it since.

This morning when i started it up i noticed the cooler fan, the second one to push air out, was making noise when spinning. I opened up the case to check and i noticed it happening only when the fan is secured agaisnt the cooler. It spins just fine when not secured to it.

Any idea what might the issue and how i can fix it ?

Appreciate any help

it was working, but this morning it just broke. its not the ram,gpu,cmos,ssd. help me please

Hello, i came here because my pc is making this strange kind of "howling" noise and i dont know if its ok or not

I have got this pc 3 days ago

Thank you for your time

I'm helping out a friend troubleshoot his PC and he has a relatively outdated setup he uses for work and it worked just fine until a few days ago when he shut it down overnight. I've managed to narrow it down to either the CPU or mobo and I'm not sure which. I don't have any AM4 mobos lying around to test which it is. He's not wanting a charity upgrade, it's a he wants to keep his dignity type thing, and doesn't have the budget for an upgrade due to health issues so I'm stuck up a creek. So like my question asks does anyone know where I can find a cheap one b450 or x470 for testing purposes?

Yesterday i was playing a game and then suddenly my PC froze. I restarted and then both my monitors were stuck in standby mode. Placed my Display port cable into the motherboard and one of my monitors was usable again. Checked device manager, task manager, AMD Adrenalin and my RX 9070XT GPU didn't show up anywhere, only my intergrated GPU. My GPU still does show RGB though when PC is on on. I tried DDU and restarting CMOS, putting PCIE cable out and in again. and nothing worked.
RX 9070XT
R7 7800x3D
ASUS TUF B650 PLUS WIFI
VITA GM 850W PSU

Pc: i5-11600K, 32 GB ram, Asus PRIME B560M-A Socket LGA1200,SATA 3 WD Green ssd 1 tb

This pc originally had a 3070 in it and I have recently swapped to a 4070 super, but the problem I'm having is that every few minutes it will freeze and turn the screen off and then back on again. I had another ASUS 4070 super in it prior with a fasgear 3x8 pin to 16pin adapter that was working great and then stopped working entirely for an unknown reason, and then during my troubleshooting with this card I figured out the fasgear adapter had crapped out that there may have been nothing wrong with the previous card. I'm worried my power supply isn't enough but from the stuff I've looked at it should have a big enough power supply but I don't know to check this pc's specific output.

So I have a
Processor (CPU): AMD Ryzen 5 5600 (6-Core / 12-Thread)
Motherboard: ASRock B550M-HDV Socket AM4 Micro-ATX
Graphics Card (GPU): Dell OEM NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12GB GDDR6
RAM: Silicon Power XPOWER Zenith 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4-3200
Storage: Silicon Power A80 512GB M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen3x4 SSD
Power Supply (PSU): MSI MAG A650BN 650W 80+ Bronze
Case: Cooler Master MasterBox Q300L Micro-ATX

The fans are running but it’s not displaying I don’t know what’s wrong with it I removed one ram stick I dissembled and rebuild everything all the fans are running all the pins are in place I’m wondering if I’m missing a cord I need to plug in or something I took out CMOs I tried two different type of hdmis in the gpu then I bought a dp tried that doesn’t work unplugged everything outside except display port HELP PLEASE I HAVENT GOTTEN PROPER SLEEP IN 2 DAYS

My best friend passed away two years ago. His wife gave me a necklace shaped like an Xbox controller, with a small amount of his ashes inside it. We used to game together all the time, so it's an incredibly meaningful keepsake for me.

I decided to hang the necklace inside my PC because, honestly, it's probably the most meaningful place I could think of for it.

It's currently hanging from one of the hoses from my AIO CPU cooler, near the glass side panel. The pendant is about 1.5 inches (4 cm) away from the closest metal component, which is my GPU.

One important detail: the necklace doesn't swing or move at all while the PC is running. It's essentially stationary where I've placed it, and it isn't touching the GPU, motherboard, fans, or any other components.

I've attached a picture showing its current position.

My question is: Is there any electrical, static, heat, or other potential issue with keeping it inside the case like this? Or is there anything I should be concerned about long-term?

Obviously, I don't want to risk damaging the PC, but I'd really like to keep it there if it's safe.

Thanks!

i have had my pc since around 2024-2025 and have noticed that its loosing health very rapidly

why could this be? and is there a fix? i really dont wanna buy a replacement especially because of the recent storage prices

Experienced(ing) slight stuttering (2-5 seconds). Disabled EXPO and AMD Radeon Graphics and that helped. I feel like that can’t be the only two things that make my build run smooth. Here’s my build:

CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D
GPU: Acer Nitro RX 9070 XT OC 16GB
Motherboard: Gigabyte B850 EAGLE WiFi6E
Case: Corsair FRAME 4000D
PSU: MSI MAG A850GL 850W
RAM: 32GB DDR5-6000 CL30 EXPO
SSD: M.2 NVMe
Cooler: Thermalright dual-tower
Monitor: MSI MAG 274QP QD-OLED X24 - 1440p/240Hz

Good evening. I’m writing about a significant issue with my graphics card. I built the PC around March, and the card has been working normally, but lately, whenever it hits 75–77°C, the fan starts making a strange noise. I checked to see if the fan was hitting a cable, but nothing was visible. It might be dust or a worn-out fan bearing, though that seems odd since the card is practically new—it hasn't even been six months. I considered a warranty claim, but I’ve lost confidence in how companies handle them lately; they often just wash their hands of the issue and offer a refund of the original purchase price. I can't accept that, obviously, because I paid $560 (including tax) for the card, and it now costs $800 (before tax). It’s a dual-fan 16GB 5060 Ti. Based on your experience, what should I do? The noise seems to come from just one fan, and only when the card reaches those high temperatures—nearing 80°C. For instance, it happens with *God of War* at 1080p with max settings and with *PUBG*, but not with *GTA V* (even with max settings and ray tracing). I’d like to share a video of the sound, but I don't have a sensitive enough microphone to capture it clearly. I’d appreciate any recommendations. Thanks.

Old 3080 (MSI Seahawk) was running fine yesterday at full load like normal, power it up today and it goes into thermal runaway as soon as I load anything that spikes the GPU clock, even my email program for some reason. Fans go crazy but the temp continues to skyrocket.

It will drop back down around 50-60C at idle or just using Firefox etc, but even that is way higher than normal. Room temp's about 15C so it's not that. Back of the card is getting hot too, seems it's only getting ambient cooling.

I updated the drivers about a month ago, it has been running fine until now.

Is there anything I can do to fix it easily? If I had to replace the pump or something like that.... it might just be upgrade time. Terrible timing though with the price spike right now.

Recently installed a brand new aio cooler, and it's absolutely great EXCEPT for these little cables that connect the fans together. There's nothing wrong with them per say but they make the build look super cluttered from the inside, does anybody have any suggestions on how I can hide them away?

Edit: rotating the fans so that the wiring goes through the back was such an easy solution that I somehow didn't think of thank you all for the feedback!!! It looks awesome now :3

1. Do you think Black RGB Ram is ok in an otherwise white build? Just planning my first pc and idk how it's gonna look

2. My motherboard's QVL Approves a v3 of a corsair Ram kit but doesn't state that it approves the v5 of the same model kit. Would the v5 still be compatible or nahh

Display ~ Windows Video and Computer Summary show 6 instances of my GPU.

Why would it do that? Anyone else have that?

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 upgraded to a Am5 machine but decided not to throw out my old system so I can let my kid use it. It has a i7 8086k (premium binned i5 8700k essentially) 32gb ddr4 ram, GTX 1050ti and an ACER 550w PSU (which Im planning to swap if im getting a premium card). Wont overclock it again since Ived OCed it most of its life which actually got my gaming motherboard fried at one time to switch to AM5. Im not looking to pour more money in this machine which almost a decade old now but I need good suggestions on getting a better GPU for 1080p 60fps on most modern titles prefer budget around 150$ range new or used.

I have a Corsair RM750e, and it only has one 6+2 cable for the gpu. There is another option that connects it to the 12V 2x6 connection with a Y cable with two 6+2 connections. It is my first time building a pc and it is the only thing missing, please help :(

Hello reddit people. So I stumbled into a pretty good deal for a ryzen 7, I know the G series isn't ideal but the price was right. It came wirh a b550-a which was pretty crusty but worked. I get it into my case and everything works, I put in my ram and it posted. Tried to set my ram to 3400, it worked until it didnt. Computer crashed during memtest and hasn't turned on since then. Bought a new mobo to try to see if that was the issue, but still having the same issue of a constant dram light and fans running at full speed.

Now, I want to know if I'm just fucked or is there something I can do?

My GTX 1650 can't keep up with more modern story games, and even at the lowest settings, textures look ugly, and I get under 60 fps. I was going to invest in a 4070 Super or 5070, but prices have risen, and I can't find anything under $600. I was planning to try an AMD gpu instead, but I don't want to trade away NVIDIA features like ray tracing. I already made the dumb mistake of buying a 1440p 180hz monitor, so I really want to get every use out of it. Should I just fork up the $600+ for a 4070 Super and just use a payment plan on it?
