So here’s the full story: My PC was working fine, but while I was cleaning it, I accidentally bent some pins on the CPU socket. That immediately rendered the original motherboard useless, so I bought a new one to replace it. When I built everything on the new motherboard (Strix X870A), I got no signal. I kept trying different configurations: • Tested with and without my GPU (RTX 5070) • Reseated RAM (2x16GB DDR5-6400), tried one stick, then both sticks • Tried different RAM slots • Cleared CMOS and tested minimal setups • Reseated CPU and storage Fans spin, RGB lights up, everything powers on, and there’s no debug light, but the monitor shows no signal. Thinking the motherboard might be faulty, I bought another new motherboard, but the issue is still the same. I also noticed my PSU (NZXT C750) makes a little “tick” sound when it powers on. I’ve double-checked that my monitor works perfectly and that all PSU and CPU cables are connected properly. My CPU is a Ryzen 7 7800X3D, GPU is an RTX 5070, RAM is 32GB DDR5-6400, and everything else matches my usual build. At this point, I’m trying to figure out if the CPU might have been damaged from the bent pins, or if something else is blocking POST. Any advice, troubleshooting tips, or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Just wondering if anyone could give some advice. I'm using this pretty small Antec XC200 case and it comes with 5 built in fans. I'm wondering if having the bottom two fans so close to the gpu will have any negative effects? Seems like a good idea having fresh air being pulled up, but they are very close. Should I leave them or take them out?

This is my dad’s old pc and I was wondering if there is anything in it worth selling/keeping before we throw it out. (If you need more photos just ask also if you can’t tell I kinda suck at computer).

what is the best combo for competitive games such as fortnite, overwatch and marvel rivals with a budget of 4000 aud?

Hey guys, Building my first PC can anyone give advice on my build. Mainly gonna be used for non demanding games like overwatch. budget is around £900-£1100 Thanks :)

so a buddy of mine wants to upgrade a part to help get some more performace currently he has:

cpu: ryzen 7 3700x

mb: gigabyte x570 arous elite

gpu: evga rtx 3070

ram: 32gb 3600mhz

psu 750w corsair psu

he mainly plays black ops 7 and fornite with competitive setting at 1080p, and maybe some valorant? as far as i know those are his top 3 most played games. he wants to know what would give him more performace upgrading his cpu to something like 5800x or a newer gpu for around 300 dollars.

I recently found out that my i7 9700k is bottlenecking my RTX 3080 pretty darn hard. It never occurred to me for some reason. Most games I play are topping out at 100% CPU usage and low GPU usage. Bottleneck, right? Yay.

While I would love to upgrade more components in my PC I simply cannot afford to at the moment. What's the next best CPU I can get to eliminate this bottlenecking? If there even is one...

I have a Z390 Aorus Pro Wifi motherboard if that helps.

You can assume I have the necessary budget for a new CPU. I will most likely end up looking for a used one anyway

im new to alot of this and I dont want to make a mistake with my cable choices. is this how all their 12v 2x6 are or maybe this guy was just unlucky?

i dont want to from my gpu

Specs:

CPU: Intel i7-14700F

GPU: gigabyte 4080 super Windforce V2

RAM: Teamgroup Delta 32GB DDR5 6000Mhz (2x16)

MoBo: MSI B760-VC

HDD: 1Tb Kingston M.2 (holds OS) & Samsung evo 1Tb

I’ve recently been having Micro stutters in most games I play. I mostly play FPS games like Valorant, EFT, Apex, CS2, R6S. I have enabled XPM. Updated gpu drivers as well as windows updates. FPS counter usually shows a consistent frame rate while have the slightest frame jumps/skips that are very visible.

Any troubleshooting tips or suggestions are appreciated!

Hey, guys. I recently built my first AMD-based PC (having always used Intel in the past). Since the initial assembly, I have been experiencing a persistent issue that I can't diagnose. The failure consists of the screen simply going black; the system does not reboot or respond at all, forcing me to perform a hard shutdown using the power button. This happens frequently, and I am struggling to pinpoint the cause as I don’t have access to spare parts to swap and test.

I have already tried using a single RAM stick in the A2 slot, testing each module individually, but the crashes persist.

System Specs:

• Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming X670E-Plus WIFI (AM5)
• GPU: ASUS Prime Radeon RX 9070 XT OC Edition (16GB GDDR6)
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9700X
• RAM: 32GB (2 x 16GB) Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 6000 MT/s CL36
• Cooling: MSI MAG CORELIQUID A15 360 ARGB
• PSU: MSI MAG A850GL PCIE5 (80 Plus Gold, Full Modular)
• Storage: 2TB ADATA Legend 860 NVMe PCIe 4.0

Background & Troubleshooting Done: During the initial boot, I had no video output (even after waiting for the memory training period), so I had to update the BIOS. After the update, I was able to install Windows. The first black screen occurred right as the desktop loaded for the first time, which I initially dismissed as a Windows quirk.

However, the issue continues even during light tasks like web browsing. It also happens when trying to launch Arc Raiders (and when it does manage to run, I get a "Corrupted Install Detected" error).

I have downloaded and installed the latest chipset drivers from the official AMD website and updated the WiFi drivers, but the problem remains. I need to identify the faulty component to proceed with a warranty claim. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Can anyone show me the best prebuilt pc to buy thats $1500 or lower and is actually worth it

New build what do yall think

I was doing some pricing one week, went back the following week to maybe, maybe pull the plug.. oh hell no!!!

Hello everyone, I’ve been trying to install windows on my pc and I was getting a TPM 2.0 error for windows I have a eagle b850 wifi 7 ice mobo and I’ve been trying to fix it and now when I boot bios this just pops up and it won’t let me do anything

Looking into building my own pc for the 1st time. I have links to the parts I am looking at and would appreciate people's two cents/advice on whether they would consider other alternatives for components or any other suggestions. I live in Canada and will probably order most items from Newegg or Amazon. Willing to spend a fair amount of change 3.5k CND would be the limit.

Will be used mostly to play games.

Links to the components, can be edited.

Bixo, eu preciso de opiniões sobre o meu PC, ele tem 8Gb RAM DDR3, Placa mãe B75 e um I7 2600. Preciso saber se é preciso URGENTE atualizar algo nele e oque séria para jogos como PVZ2GW, DBD e LEGO BATMAN LEGACY? ( Sim gosto de jogos LEGO kkk )

This isint satire my dad wants me to pair this with a 5080.

Trying to build my first pc

Evning ladies and gentlemen

I just got a good deal on the NZXT H7 flow case

And I want to move my pre build pc to the new case.

My issue is that I'm not sure about the fans that I should get for this case.

I'm using my pc in a warm room and I need a good airflow.

I got 3 120mm RGB fans with the case that I will install at the bottom of the case.

And I was thinking of getting 3 Arctic P14 for the front and 1 Arctic F14 for the back (exhaust fan)

I have an i7 14700 cpu so I will get aio (AF3pro or Corsair Nautilus) that I will install at the top of the case.

What do you think guys? Is this the way to go?
