| Help, i lightly bumped my computer it shut off and won’t even boot up. Posted: 29 Jan 2020 08:33 AM PST I lightly bumped my computer it shot off and makes no attempt to boot when I hit the power button. I know my PSU is working because I have a tester. I've triple checked all my connections. Does anyone know what the problem might be? The light of the on button doesn't even appear, it's as if the button isn't working but i dont know what the problem is.

| I need help modernizing my PC into a Gaming PC Posted: 29 Jan 2020 12:08 PM PST I've got some parts and a PC already built. I really want to play the new version of WC3 Reforged. What sort of graphics card and monitor would I need to be able to play the game in high detail? Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology z270x-gaming 5 Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz Memory: Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz C16 Desktop Memory Power Supply: Enermax Revolution Xt ERX750AWT Storage: SSD [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| New PC build not turning on, not sure why Posted: 29 Jan 2020 12:14 PM PST Hey all, so my new PC build I'm working on won't power on and I have no idea why. First, specs: Mobo: Asus rog strix b450i CPU: R5 3600x GPU: msi gtx 980 (from old PC) SSD: Intel 660p 1tb Ram: Trident z RGB 3600 MHz Psu: Corsair sf600 Plus random fans and air cooler. So this is my third PC I've built so I don't think I'm making some stupid newbie mistake. What I know: Motherboard, ram, SSD, and power supply works, uses my friend's 2200g to power the rig on and update bios to support ryzen 3rd gen The CPU is probably not dead. The first one I ordered the PC wouldn't turn on either, so I sent it back to Amazon and got a replacement. Doubtful I got two DOA in a row Graphics card worked fine in my old PC, never had any hiccups. With the 3600x, the motherboard RGB lights are doing their thing, so it's getting power. Completely lost on what to do. All cables are plugged into the motherboard and GPU. Power supply is obviously turned on. I can't even short the pins to turn the PC on.

| I built a new pc and I cant use both ssd and hdd Posted: 29 Jan 2020 12:07 PM PST I am using SSD and HDD from my old pc. I managed to install fresh windows on my ssd only when I disconnected my hdd. The issue is, when I try to connect my hdd and boot the pc I get a blue screen that says windows needs to be repaired. SSD is my first boot option,and I never had windows installed on HDD. Please help.

| Posted: 29 Jan 2020 10:22 AM PST Both have comparable price and performance at the moment. 1650 super has more efficient energy consumption, better thermals, and gddr6 vram, while the rx 580 has double the vram. Which do you think will be better in the long run?

| Planning on Building My First Gaming Pc. Need some advice. Posted: 29 Jan 2020 01:14 PM PST So my old gaming laptop is way out of date and I have been wanting to build a PC for awhile. I don't want to spend too much but I also don't want to skimp out and feel the need to upgrade in the near future. That being said, I have put together a parts list currently at around $1900 with windows 10 and a monitor. I was hoping to be around the $1500 mark. Any recommendations on some parts I could go cheaper on without effecting performance too much, or would it just be worth it to save up the extra few hundred dollars. Build list: [PCPartPicker Part List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KVkzFG) **CPU** | [AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor] **Motherboard** | [Gigabyte X570 AORUS ELITE WIFI ATX AM4 Motherboard] **Memory** | [Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory] **Storage** | [Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive] **Video Card** | [EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8 GB BLACK GAMING Video Card] **Case** | [Cooler Master MasterCase H500 ATX Mid Tower Case] **Power Supply** | [Corsair CXM 650 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply] **Operating System** | [Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit] **Monitor** | [Samsung C27JG56 27.0" 2560x1440 144 Hz Monitor] [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Posted: 29 Jan 2020 08:56 AM PST So recently my little brother has been wanting a PC for his highschool work / mid tier games it seems. He has a PS4 so Ive made it clear to him that his main gaming platform will be the PS4 and not the PC. He still wants to be able to play some games such as: xcom2, Halo wars 1/2 and Gears tactics. I have made a quick PC that I know I went overboard on for what he is going to do with the PC, so please help me tone down the pc build or save (his own) money. he has about $500 so spending should be around 500 or less.
Here is version 2 of the build with your recommendations! tell me what you think :
Added network card and toned down graphics card, here is V3: PCPartPicker Part List
ALRIGHT THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH, it looks like V4 will be the final version of this build and I will start ordering parts pretty soon. I think i'll post the completed build when done. again thank you guys so much V4

| PC wont start but the front usb ports still work. Posted: 29 Jan 2020 01:12 PM PST Hello, i've had this computer for 3-4 years and she has worked flawlessly until today, when I press the start button the fans starts turning light go on for barely 1 second when i try to start her again nothing happens, no lights no fans, after I reboot the power supply the same thing happens again. I have checked the cpu,the ram slots, checked if all the cables were properly put in i dont know what to do next, i have a feeling I need to buy a new motherboard but hopefully someone on this forum can help me.

| (Desperate, please help) PC boots into bios but not into Windows Posted: 29 Jan 2020 01:21 PM PST Built a PC, successfully installed windows, booted into windows 10, changed the resolution to 1920x1080 and it black screened. Now it won't boot into windows at all, it'll show the windows logo and the circle below it moves before black screening again, it usually crashes the same time my mouse and keyboard light up. I've successfully gotten into windows twice but only after reinstalling it I've used this GPU for two years on my old build so I'm fairly sure it's not fault, Not sure what's up, please help. It goes into BIOS just fine and everything shows https://i.imgur.com/3m1WtKe.jp When it black screens the GPU fans cut off I've been going at this for two days. I've built a PC once before and it went fine and I'm honestly at my breaking point here.

| Are multiple SSD's necessary for smooth 4k video editing? Posted: 29 Jan 2020 07:24 AM PST I currently have a 500GB SSD.

| Need advice on AIO cooler for this build. Posted: 29 Jan 2020 10:41 AM PST Hey! Been building for 25 years give or take, never used anything other than radiator style coolers, so I need some guidance on which AIO will work best for this CPU and case combination? And since I am here, how does the build look? Primarily a gaming machine, possibly throw my plex server on it as well but do not know yet.

| Posted: 29 Jan 2020 12:50 PM PST I'm planning on building my first PC here soon and want some feedback on my build. I want to build something with enough longevity to last me at least midway through the next console generation at least. I want to be able to play newest releases on 1440p with at least 60fps. Let me know if you think this will do the trick for awhile or what I could do to make it better!

| Dilemma about positioning my PC case Posted: 29 Jan 2020 07:49 AM PST As I'm working on getting my own little corner, I started building my first PC (previously only laptops). I've come to a dilemma about placing the PC case. It may be a stupid question but I always say "he who asks does not err". Since the power outlet is to my left there's no point in placing it all the way on the right (which is what I will do in the future for sure to make sure of the tempered glass). The question is how would you put it take make the most sense? I feel like there are three options. First, on the floor closest to the power outlet (negative about that would be connecting my mouse cable). The second would be just on the left facing back (all cables being closest to me) but then idk if the table wouldn't bend in some way (Ikea Bekant) even though it can hold up to 100kg i'm scared. The third to put more balance in the middle to put it behind the monitor (negatives being cables once again) Also I don't want to drill any holes in the desk and it has a net for cable management underneath.

| Posted: 29 Jan 2020 11:35 AM PST I'm looking for a compact ATX case. I'm trying to find one that puts the power supply behind the motherboard tray, does any one know of a case like this? Closest I've found is the Riotoro CR1080. But it makes the entire computer upside down which wouldn't be an option for the way my desk is set up. Thank you in advance.

| PC stuttering and causing audio and video to glitch Posted: 29 Jan 2020 09:30 AM PST I have had my first build for almost a year now, and recently when I watch video (youtube mostly but happens in other apps as well) I will hear a sound like my computer is spooling up and the video and audio will glitch and stutter for a matter of 10 to 30 seconds and freeze my mouse, then returns back to normal use. You can see the RGB lighting reset its cycle during this too. Any ideas?

| Want to get back into PC gaming, please check my build? Posted: 29 Jan 2020 12:05 PM PST Hi, it's been about 10 years since I last got a new PC, and that was a prebuild. I really appreciate any guidance on this build I put together on pcpartpicker. I'm going for 1080p 144hz gaming. It looks OK to me but it'd be good to have more eyes on it. Thanks!
