So basically what you have here is the motherboard saying that it detected a change in hardware or your CMOS was cleared. You don't really have to do anything unless you were running an overclock on your CPU and maybe had memory timing like XMP or EXPO enabled. If you haven't messed with your bios much you can just hit F2 to load the defaults and everything should be fine.

#

Do i have to replace the cmos?

tame kiln Dec 1, 2024, 10:30 PM

#

no

#

just press F2 if you dont know how to work bios

dark grove Dec 1, 2024, 10:30 PM

#

I don’t

tame kiln Dec 1, 2024, 10:31 PM

#

ok yea just press F2 for now

verbal badge Dec 1, 2024, 10:31 PM

#

If it's an old computer there is a tiny battery on the motherboard you could replace but it won't matter too much if you don't in your specific case

tame kiln Dec 1, 2024, 10:31 PM

dark grove Lately when I’ve been playing games sometimes my pc will just randomly go black ...

The buzzing noise is probably from the computer and audio drivers crashing

dark grove I bought it on fb marketplace in April 5600g 7800xt 32 gb 3600

dark grove Dec 1, 2024, 10:32 PM

#

tame kiln Dec 1, 2024, 10:33 PM

#

also 5600g and 7800 xt is a mad bottleneck

verbal badge Dec 1, 2024, 10:33 PM

#

100%

tame kiln Dec 1, 2024, 10:33 PM

#

whoever built that pc is goofy

dark grove Dec 1, 2024, 10:33 PM

#

It was $700

tame kiln Dec 1, 2024, 10:33 PM

#

ok thats a good deal

#

but if you ever upgrade, do the cpu first

dark grove Dec 1, 2024, 10:33 PM

#

Yeah

verbal badge Dec 1, 2024, 10:33 PM

#

the 5600g is AM4 correct?

dark grove Dec 1, 2024, 10:33 PM

#

That’s what I was thinking when I bought it

tame kiln Dec 1, 2024, 10:33 PM

#

yea

dark grove Dec 1, 2024, 10:33 PM

#

Yeah

tame kiln Dec 1, 2024, 10:34 PM

dark grove Dec 1, 2024, 10:36 PM

#

U know why my pc could be restarting like that tho?

tame kiln Dec 1, 2024, 10:36 PM

#

dark grove U know why my pc could be restarting like that tho?

as the other guy said, its likely audio drivers crashing

#

🙏

dark grove Dec 1, 2024, 10:37 PM

#

tame kiln as the other guy said, its likely audio drivers crashing

How would I fix that’s

tame kiln Dec 1, 2024, 10:37 PM

#

reinstalling audio drivers

dark grove Dec 1, 2024, 10:37 PM

#

Some times when it crashes my screen goes blue too

tame kiln Dec 1, 2024, 10:38 PM

#

mmm

#

BSoD

dark grove Dec 1, 2024, 10:38 PM

#

Yeah

tame kiln Dec 1, 2024, 10:39 PM

#

@verbal badge would you know what could be causing blue screen

verbal badge Dec 1, 2024, 10:40 PM

#

Honestly it could be a number of things. When I had blue screens it was often due to memory issues.

tame kiln Dec 1, 2024, 10:41 PM

#

yea was same here when i still had ddr3 2x2gb

#

patriot ram my beloved

verbal badge Dec 1, 2024, 10:42 PM

#

I had issues with a Gskill 3200mhz 32gb

tame kiln Dec 1, 2024, 10:42 PM

#

damn

#

only ddr4 ram i had issues with was Silicon Power

dark grove Dec 1, 2024, 10:42 PM

#

I have Corsair

verbal badge Dec 1, 2024, 10:42 PM

#

It was two kits put together but something happened to the old dimms and they ended up failing the windows memory test

verbal badge Dec 1, 2024, 10:42 PM

#

dark grove I have Corsair

I mean thats pretty solid memory

tame kiln Dec 1, 2024, 10:42 PM

#

dark grove I have Corsair

btw what did you change for the cmos to detect a hardware change?

dark grove Dec 1, 2024, 10:43 PM

#

I just reseated some cords to try and fix the restarting

tame kiln Dec 1, 2024, 10:43 PM

#

i see

dark grove Dec 1, 2024, 10:43 PM

#

And I turned it back on and that was there

tame kiln Dec 1, 2024, 10:43 PM

#

it would see that as fully changing the part cos when the psu is still getting power it powers the parts slightly

verbal badge Dec 1, 2024, 10:44 PM

#

If you completely turned off the power and the CMOS battery is dead it's likely that's what caused the message

tame kiln Dec 1, 2024, 10:44 PM

#

yea

#

cmos battery is kinda like a car alternator

#

well car battery i should say

verbal badge Dec 1, 2024, 10:44 PM

#

Yeah i agree with that

tame kiln Dec 1, 2024, 10:44 PM

#

gets charge while the pc is active

#

if left unpowered for a while itll be dead

verbal badge Dec 1, 2024, 10:45 PM

#

I mean those tiny coin cells only last for so long so it wouldn't surprise me

tame kiln Dec 1, 2024, 10:45 PM

#

yea

#

my motherboard was used and ive had it for 4 years now

#

no issues with cmos bat so far

#

but yea i mean the cmos message is nothing to worry about

#

the restarting cos be multiple things, recently when i upgraded my cpu, it was overheating and would hit its max of 95c and restart

#

until i undervolted and boosted the clock, had much better temps since

#

went from 80-90c while gaming to like a max of 70c

verbal badge Dec 1, 2024, 10:50 PM

#

tame kiln went from 80-90c while gaming to like a max of 70c

Ouch... What cooler are you using?

tame kiln Dec 1, 2024, 10:51 PM

#

ML240L V2

#

upgrading to a H150I elite capellix tho

#

its also summer here

#

idle and with cyberpunk open

#

previously if i was on cyberpunk itd be 80+

verbal badge Dec 1, 2024, 10:57 PM

#

I mean I can't say much about CM's products but I personally don't trust them too much

#

If you have a program that tells you the liquid temp I would check that and see if the the AIO that can't keep up or if it's something else
