Today marks a year since I bought my 4070ti and installed it myself. My PC has never worked since. Ill admit this has been a horrible year for me so I gave up and moved around keeping it with me promising to fix it one day I thought I followed everything down to a T. I wiped my PC prepped it for a upgrade, and even consulted this group on carefully installing it. For some reason it will not allow me to install windows. I just get a blue screen every time I try. So I get to bios and I'm stuck pretty much. I even had my more so knowledged friend help me, I spent hours trying to install and boot windows, and all he came out with was "I have no clue maybe your SSD stopped working. It does show my storage from the bios menu so I have a little hard time believing that. Tomorrow I plan to go to geek squad at bestbuy because it's the closest. Any thoughts?
Just got a brand new monitor from koorui today and it was fine until everything started looking off like this.
After boot up my insider build is running into a problem, green screening, and giving me a critical process error code . Any ideas? 💡 Thanks 🙏
I want to build my first pc. Its mid tier and ill only be gaming on it. Here's the draft of the build:
-Ryzen 5 7500f
-Mobo Asus Prime b650m wifi II
-Ram ddr5 (ill get the cheapest 2x16gb, i dont really care about the mhz)
-SSD 500gb, (ill get an hdd sometime soon, but not now)
-GPU maybe 4060 or 6700xt (a friend told me that 4060 uses very low power but its 8gb so its pretty ass compared to the other options available. Also, Im buying 2nd hand too because i dont really feel like buying new when rtx 5000s is coming out in Jan 2025)
-with case and some fans, maybe some liquid cooling in the future but air cooling will be good enough for now.
So i have 2 option of psu, corsair rm650 or evga supernova gt 750w. Both are gold rated and considerably the exact same price. So, is it worth to buy the higher wattage or go for the brand? I don't know evga psu very much. You're very welcome to add some input to my build. Thx!
Hey everyone! Just built my first PC and everything seems to be running pretty smoothly and working well. I have been running into one issue though and I wanted to get some advice on a possible diagnosis.
About 10% of the time when I shut down my PC, it seems to not fully shut down correctly. I can tell because an LED on my motherboard remains lit while everything else is off. I have tried waiting a long period of time and rebooting, and waiting a short period of time when rebooting and always on the next start up everything will turn on, but the displays wont show anything and then the power button on the case won’t work. When this happens, I always have to hit the PSU power switch to shut down the computer and then reboot it. After that it works fine for several boot/reboot cycles. My temps never reach above 36C and ive checked all the power connections.
Any ideas at what could be causing this and just as a PC noob in general, am I damaging anything having to shut down via the PSU?
My specs are: Gigabyte B650E AORUS AX ICE Motherboard, Gigabyte Aero 4080 Super GPU, AMD Ryzen 9 7900X CPU, Corsair RM850 80+ Gold PSU, Corsair Vengeance DDR 5 RAM, Corsair H150 AIO and 3 extra Corsair QX120 fans, all in a Corsair 6500X Mid Tower ATX
Hey, so i'm currently rocking an AM5 build with Ryzen 7 7700x + GeForce 3070 and 32GB @ 6.400 mhz. I'm trying to see which GPU would be the best to pair up with my Ryzen for the best output. Currently gaming at 1440p. Cheers!
So I have this 1TB (800gb worth of data) external hdd that is “damaged” and doesn’t get read by windows, macOS and Linux, so I’ve used disk genius to recover the files, but i can’t put the files into the hdd, so I got my other hdd (500gb) to transfer some of it, but it slaps the “buy a license” error to my face (there is wedding videos worth 120gb space, even the small ones like pictures give the same error) I know I can use another program or do something not so legal, but if I close the program I don’t know if I can recover the files again, I did QUICK formatted it, and made a new partition that is 900gb, trying to get the files there, but it didn’t work, so what should I do?
I was planning on selling or trading my 14900KS and got two offers on facebook marketplace. Which one is better?
9950x for my 14900KS + 200 dollars
or
7950x + asus prime x670e + deepcool assassin air cooler + open air test bench case for my 14900KS
Hi there. Apologies because I’m unsure if this is the right place to ask this sort of question. I’ve recently chosen these specs on Cyberpower for a new PC I’m looking to get.
I’m pretty set on CPU, GPU, RAM and also the amount of storage space. The case seems pretty cool to me too. However, when it comes to every other component, I’m not exactly well versed and not sure it’s very optimised, I just chose what sounded good to me. Are there any alternative components I could choose that would work better and/or bring down the overall price a bit? Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance❤️
My pc is doing this since 8:00 Can you help me?
just wondering if anyone knows a good power supply and budget gaming montoir like the odyssey G30D and do i need to change anything, i have a budget of around $2000 aud
Hello there,
I only get 16 Mbits internet through my landline where I live. No possibility to get anything faster except by using a LTE/5G connection.
I already know CGNAT will cause issue with some P2P multiplayer games but I also wonder if latency will be an issue.
As for speed, they advertise up to 300 Mbits down and 50 Mbits up, although realistically in my area it's more likely to be in the ~150 Mbits range, which is still a huge upgrade over 16 Mbits so I'll take it.
Does anyone here game with 5G as their sole internet connection?
I have a small form factor Lenovo thinkstation that uses a 10 pin and want to move it to another case with a different power supply so I can use a gpu. Some of the reviews mentioned the motherboard frying if you use a 24 pin, but apparently a 20 pin should be fine. I have a power supply with a 20+4 pin so I should be ok but I'm hesitant, anyone have experience with this kind of upgrade?
Hey guys.
I have an alienware x14 and I recently received a clock_watchdog_timeout BSOD out of nowhere, and after that all my games have been running on low fps. I checked all power settings (in windows, bios, and alienware command center) and everything was normal (set to performance or what it was before) and updated my NVIDIA drivers, but to no avail.
Does anyone know a solution to this? All help is greatly appreciated.
Hello, I am in the process of building my first PC and waiting for all the components to be shipped, One being the WD sn850x SSD.
I have heard about the unfortunate situation regarding SSDs from this company and the latest Windows update, I've also heard that apparently Microsoft Is blocking machines that have said SSDs from updating onto 24H2 until the issue is fixed.
I'd like to ask, given how I know Western Digital has released a firmware update to sort of fix the issue for the moment, if I was to install 24H2 regardless and apply said firmware update to my SSD, would I be able to use Windows normally? Would Microsoft's policy of shutting the update off for these SSDs cause me problems like not recieving updates (which is cause of great concern for me as I am a little too paranoid over cybersecurity)?
Thank you in advance for your time.
Hey guys I'm looking forward to buy my first gpu and I have decided to go with a 7800xt. My options are to get one locally for 520 euros or get one from Amazon and especially from NRinfo at 470. Has anyone actually bought from them and can send some reviews thanks !
Finished building my new PC and I installed the latest chipset drivers for my amd Ryzen 7 5700x and I still have no Wi-Fi at all. Really confused on what I need to install to get Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on this thing, been up for hours. The motherboard is a B550-Plus Wi-Fi 2 and I’m on Windows 11 Pro if that helps

More touch points = less superior hardware for you mofos. Love y'all PC peasants though. Cross play for life.
i prefer nvidia but can definitly go with amd.
Hey all, im looking to upgrade my setup specifically my gpu, I think its time, currently i have a 1070 for around 3 years and its been really good but i think time is showing. I have an i5-9th gen, so what gpu would u recommend within the budget of 300-350, the picks I saw were either 3060 or 4060, potentially some amd gpu that i dont remember the exact name but i know its a 7 series 7xxx XT,
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Edit: Region is central europe if that helps
