@toxic mortar try this

[autumn fossil]

Resetting CMOS

:one: Shut down your PC and unplug the power cord from the wall.
:two: Locate the CMOS battery (see the image below). On some motherboards, you may have to remove the graphics card in order to access it.
:three: Remove the CMOS battery from the motherboard by pressing down on the clip and pulling the battery out.
:four: Hold down the case power button for three seconds while your PC is unplugged.
:five: Install the CMOS battery back into the motherboard and plug the power cord back into the wall.
:six: Plug in and turn on your PC.

A video guide is also available below

I may Aswell take it to the shop I don’t trust my self

[wind citrus]

Up to you mate no problem at all

[toxic mortar]

Is it risky taking the gpu out?

[modest venture]

Not really

Just make sure to push down on the motherboard clip so it easily releases

In some cases you should take out the above PCIE slot cover to be sure it goes in smoothly

Reseating GPU

CyberPowerPC UK 🔸 0333 323 7776 🔸 https://www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk

[wind citrus]

This one shows you how to remove and reseat the GPU

[modest venture]

[toxic mortar]

I’ll do it once I’m home

Hopefully it doesn’t make anything worse

Do u think when I took it to the shop he messed up the ram

Cuz that was the only thing he touched

And ever since that it started beeping

But before that it was power cycling

[toxic mortar]

U was talking about the ram being clipped on properly

But I don’t think it is

I could show a picture when I get to it

[wind citrus]

Could need reseating also

[autumn fossil]

Reseating RAM

CyberPowerPC UK 🔸 0333 323 7776 🔸 https://www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk

[toxic mortar]

The rams are in the correvt place but the clip isn’t as solid as it use to be

So it just doesn’t look like it’s fully in the pc and that’s what might be causing the beeping

But I don’t know about the power cycle

[wind citrus]

I personally think a CMOs will fix it

Sometimes it does loop after ram changes

[toxic mortar]

The only reason it started beeping was when the ram got messed with

So that’s most likely causing the beeping but idk about the power cycle

It was because I crashed on a game n I held down the power button cuz there was no other way of turning my pc off and then once I turned it on it started power cycling and then I took it to the shop n the ram got messed with and now it’s beeping while power cycling

[toxic mortar]

Cmos

The battery right?

[wind citrus]

Yes

That’ll reset memory settings to default in BIOS, then hopefully boots

Then we can work out your max ram speed and adjust it so you get the most from it

Also those ram clips don’t get weaker. They either clip or they don’t, if they’re not all the way in, you’ll want to reseat tjose

[toxic mortar]

Ye then that means the ram isn’t in properly?

[autumn fossil]

:tada: Congrats @toxic mortar, you levelled up to 3! :tada:

[toxic mortar]

That’s what I’ll start with when I get the chance to

I’ll put the ram in and out n see if I can get the clip properly on

If it still doesn’t work

I’ll remove the gpu and take the little battery in and out

Should I put the gpu back on once I take the battery in and out or should I wait till I try turn it on?

[wind citrus]

Have it fully assembled when you test

[toxic mortar]

Alright then

I’ll see that

I don’t even know if I have warranty on the pc

Nvm it comes with 2 years warranty doesn’t it

[wind citrus]

Yes

Just don’t break it lol

[toxic mortar]

I won’t

If I break it will the warranty fuck up?

[forest ice]

Yeah it'll void warranty of anything you break

[toxic mortar]

Fuck

That

So how come when I emailed customer support they told me to do the exact same thing @wind citrus told me to do

Should I ask if I can send it to them so they can fix it

Cuz I’d rather not touch it

[wind citrus]

You’re perfectly capable I am sure

[toxic mortar]

N risk it

[wind citrus]

You’d be surprised how resilient parts can be

If you follow the videos properly, it’s quite hard to bugger it up

I’d go with the RAM Reseat, that’s very easy

Is that doesn’t work then we do the fairly simple CMOS reset. Happy to walk you through any of the above if the video doesn’t help much. Just ping me

[toxic mortar]

So it would be hard to break?

[wind citrus]

It would require some effort

[toxic mortar]

I’ll try be gentle

Ill be doing it around 2:20

[wind citrus]

Sure bud

[toxic mortar]

That ram video what was sent into general

Scaring me now

Tbh

[wind citrus]

Ram is a walk in the park dw

It’s just 2 small levers and that’s it, you’ll be sound lad

[toxic mortar]

That fucking shop fucking did something with my ram

clueless workers

[wind citrus]

I’m sure it was a genuine mistake

As easy as they are to fix, they’re very easy to make small mistakes with

[toxic mortar]

I’ll show a video soon of what it looks like

Closeup of the clip

I’d like your thoughts on it @wind citrus to see if somethings been fucked with on the ram or it was just a small mistake

[wind citrus]

Sure thing

[forest ice]

You think they somehow damaged the RAM clip?

[wind citrus]

I think it’s just not seated properly mate

[toxic mortar]

That’s what I’m thinking

I’ve got a video of last night

It kinda shows the clip loose

https://support.cyberpowersystem.co.uk/attachments/token/la05q7Te4ySARgftBqHxFwaDk/?name=73198111504__D503EFAB-09E5-4381-827B-B53AFC2D2489.MOV

Look at the ram clip it doesn’t look in properly

[wind citrus]

Yeah I think it’s just not seated properly

Easy mistake to make but wouldn’t expect it from a professional service lol

[toxic mortar]

It’s been a shop for 11 years

I’d expect different

https://support.cyberpowersystem.co.uk/attachments/token/xcmAPKT4PIhGOcEUXOFhUvfFC/?name=73198118989__C4B3B974-DC2D-46F1-A9C5-8C8F8D71FE2A.MOV

@wind citrus @forest ice and that’s the sound it makes

[wind citrus]

Like a bloody nuke warning isn’t it

Try the reseating of ram, then boot

[toxic mortar]

It fucking is

[wind citrus]

Do let me know how you get on

[forest ice]

Google is giving me mixed answers some say Memory error others are saying video card error

[toxic mortar]

It’s a infinite beep

And I’ve never heard of a infinite beep on YouTube

I’ve seen 3 beeps 4 beeps 2 beeps and 5

Just not infinite beeps none stop

[forest ice]

what make is ur motherboard do you know

[wind citrus]

Let’s not confuse this

Do the ram reseat, let us know how you get on

If we need to troubleshoot further we can and will

[autumn fossil]

:tada: Congrats @toxic mortar, you levelled up to 4! :tada:

[toxic mortar]

^^ @forest ice

[toxic mortar]

Ye I’ll stick to the ram as that was what was messed with but that’s not what started the power cycle in the beginning so something else Aswell is involved

[forest ice]

Yeah memory issue

Reseat RAM and probably fixed

[toxic mortar]

If the beeping stops that’s all I care about

The power cycling can continue happening

Just no more of that annoying beeping

[wind citrus]

You don’t want either of those lol

The beep is happening because of what’s causing the loop so it should resolve both with 1 move

[toxic mortar]

Do u think so

Fivem fucks my pc up hard tbh

[wind citrus]

That’s just fivem

[toxic mortar]

It’s a laggy game

That’s what started the whole situation

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[toxic mortar]

If I send it back because of the warranty would I be liable of shipping costs do u recon

[wind citrus]

Yes you’d be paying for shipping

The parts and shipping back out to you would be free (if within warranty) I believe

[toxic mortar]

That’s alright then

[wind citrus]

But again, I’m fairly certain this is RAM issue and could be resolved at home

[forest ice]

Me too

[toxic mortar]

Does keeping the pc on for long cause major issues?

[wind citrus]

No not really. Just not ideal

[toxic mortar]

Oh

I keep my pc on for about 18 hours a day

I can’t lie

But I heard it’s not even bad but it is a little

[rugged light]

that wouldnt make it do that

i keep my pc on 24/8

my pc never dont that beforer

[wind citrus]

Nothing has changed on ur pc except the ram. It’s more than likely just been installed poorly

[toxic mortar]

Would it because I restarted my pc while I crashed

Before something saved

Or something

[wind citrus]

Let’s just get that ticked off first then we’ll worry about other bits if it doesn’t fix it

[rugged light]

show us a close up of the ram

it might not be clicked in

[wind citrus]

Just let us know how you get on after 2pm when you’re ready to reseat

[toxic mortar]

Ye

[toxic mortar]

Look at the video above

It goes quite close up

[rugged light]

did u get it back like that?

[wind citrus]

Yes

[toxic mortar]

Ye

[wind citrus]

That’s why we have determined it’s a bad ram install

[toxic mortar]

It was power cycle before I sent it out

[rugged light]

where did u send it too

[wind citrus]

And requires reseating

Not cyberpower

[rugged light]

ah

[toxic mortar]

A pc shop and they do repairs to

[rugged light]

ye bro i would reseat ram

ram is very easy to fix

[wind citrus]

Just do as we’ve discussed

Let’s not complicate something that is likely simple

[rugged light]

^

[toxic mortar]

I just wanna know what started it so I don’t do the same mistake

[rugged light]

the beeping is quite annoying ngl

infinite beeps

[toxic mortar]

If it was because I restarted my pc during a game crash

Then I’ll never do that again

Just to learn some things I should not do

[rugged light]

so it was working before?

[toxic mortar]

Yes

[wind citrus]

It happens sometimes. Could be because of a crash, or a change of settings in the BIOS, or the computer just decided to have a bad boot and got stuck in a loop

[toxic mortar]

It was 2 days ago I restarted my pc while my Fivem crashed cuz it wouldn’t turn off or anything

And then once I turned it back on

Turned on then off turned on then off none stop

If it was because of the crash it would because of how laggy Fivem is

[wind citrus]

Yes likely a boot loop. A CMOS reset would’ve fixed it probably

[toxic mortar]

I honestly thought my pc could handle a game like Fivem

But it clearly doesn’t

[wind citrus]

But now the RAM is seated wrong, you may need to do both ram + cmos. I imagine reseating RAM would make it obvious if we need to do a CMOS too

[toxic mortar]

So if I reseat the ram and it still beeps would it still be a cmos issue to

[wind citrus]

This will handle fiveM fine in 1080p

[toxic mortar]

That’s exactly what I play it on

[wind citrus]

Yes but CMOS is literally a battery to remove and reinsert. Very easy

[toxic mortar]

That’s what I got confused on how is the pc not handling Fivem

Tbh the fps on most games is not even so good

[rugged light]

how come u sent it into a shop anyway

[toxic mortar]

For the power cycle

None stop turning off n on when I powered it on

As if I was just restarting it every second but I weren’t

[wind citrus]

Always come here for help with cyberpower units

We even help with non cyberpower units

[toxic mortar]

Ye next time I’ll not even go the shop

If they can’t even do something so simple

[wind citrus]

99% of problems can be resolved over desktop. The 1% being faulty parts

[toxic mortar]

If it’s a faulty part then atleast I get a brand new one if I send it back

[toxic mortar]

@wind citrus ok I’m home

As u can see I can pull it out even if it’s clipped on

@forest ice

[wind citrus]

So push that level down and reseat the RAM

It should automatically clip into place when you insert and give it a slight push down to lock it in

[toxic mortar]

It doesn’t do that

[wind citrus]

Have you tried

As in have you taken the RAM stick from its slot and reseated it into the same slot

Apply a bit of pressure to both sides of the RAM and it should click in

[autumn fossil]

:tada: Congrats @toxic mortar, you levelled up to 5! :tada:

[toxic mortar]

I’m putting pressure on to it

N it won’t just click in

[forest ice]

If you can pull it out then it's definitely not clipped in properly

the clips hold it in place

[toxic mortar]

ye

It’s not clipped in properly

But I can’t clip it in

For some reason

[forest ice]

Both slots or just 1?

[toxic mortar]

Both

[forest ice]

I don't know it's highly unlikely both slots are broken lol

[toxic mortar]

That’s what it should look like

On the left right?

It should make that noise

[forest ice]

Try lay the PC flat if it helps and give them a little push on both sides of the stick

[toxic mortar]

When I put the tan it

[forest ice]

yeah

[toxic mortar]

The pc is layed flat

No wires in or anything

And it just won’t go in

Like tf?

[wind citrus]

You can’t take it OUT?

Plz make sure that lever at the top is pressed all the way down

[toxic mortar]

I can take it out

It won’t press properly

[wind citrus]

Ok so put one hand on left side

[toxic mortar]

It won’t press all the way down

[wind citrus]

And one on the right

And press them left right left right til both sides click on

If that doesn’t do it, send a picture of the actual RAM slot on the Mobo please.

[wind citrus]

The slot

On the motherbosrd

The ram looks fine

[wind citrus]

Can’t see a reason for it to not slot in

[toxic mortar]

I don’t get why it is

[wind citrus]

You’re facing the RAM the right way, right?

[toxic mortar]

It was slotted in perfectly before

Yes

The long side goes on the right

And the little hole goes on the little marks on the slot

I know exactly where to put it

But I don’t get why it’s not going in

It goes in but the clip doesn’t clip

[wind citrus]

The 2 sides of the ram should line up with these 2 little bits perfectly

It’s bizarre. No obvious visual issues

[toxic mortar]

Ye

I put it in those holes

On the clips

[wind citrus]

Who did you buy the RAM from?

[toxic mortar]

Pre built

Cyberpower

[wind citrus]

I’d contact cyberpower directly and see what they recommend

[toxic mortar]

I did

The exact same thing

Ur saying

[wind citrus]

Say you’ve followed the previous steps now

Which is what we’ve done

[toxic mortar]

They emailed saying do the ram first

And then gpu

And battery

All the things you have said

But it’s the ram

[wind citrus]

And that you’re having trouble even getting the RAM in. They’ll probably get you to mail it back so they can check it and make any necessary replacements

[toxic mortar]

That’s clearly the issue

[wind citrus]

Yes, so email them and they’ll sort it

[toxic mortar]

I’ll try once more

[wind citrus]

They’ll be able to see this chat in full

[toxic mortar]

Should I push the ram in?

[wind citrus]

You should apply pressure on both sides of the stick

It’ll click in if all is good

[toxic mortar]

I’ve fucking pushed it in

Full fucking force

And it’s clipped in

Fucking hell

Why did I have to push so hard

[autumn fossil]

tkndark2 was warned for Spamming

[toxic mortar]

I could see the motherboard moving

[forest ice]

🤣

[toxic mortar]

There you go

One ram in

Perfect

Fuck me why did I have to push so hard

Damn that was a piss take

Need a break before I do the second one

[toxic mortar]

Na why was it so hard to push in

[forest ice]

It really shouldn't require too much force

But idk maybe ur mobo is different

[toxic mortar]

Maybe

That was rough

I’m having a break till I do the other one

Was to scared of breaking the motherboard

[wind citrus]

Lmfao

Told you they’re resilient

[toxic mortar]

I didint know I had to push so hard tho

[wind citrus]

My RAM took quite a push to get in

My previous ram didn’t

[toxic mortar]

Bro I was using my whole palm

[wind citrus]

Weird things these computers

[toxic mortar]

To push it in

Couldn’t do it with just my fingers

No wonder the shop didint do it

He could of atleast told me he started a repetitive beep in my pc with the ram being out

[toxic mortar]

That video scwred me

Someone sent that into general

I was like no I’m not doing that

Are rams expensive?

[forest ice]

not really

[toxic mortar]

40 quid

[forest ice]

Well 1 16GB stick is like 40 ish yeah

[toxic mortar]

Eh I would rather not

Tbh

I would rather not break it

I’m ready to do the second one now tho

Hopefully it doesn’t fuck up

Got it in

Fuck yes

Time to plug it in

[forest ice]

Good stuff

[toxic mortar]

I hope it works now

[forest ice]

Should do 🙏

[wind citrus]

Inshallah

[toxic mortar]

No beeping

Back to the start

Power cycling

goes off and on

Off and on

[autumn fossil]

tkndark2 was warned for Spamming

[wind citrus]

Ok so now I’d reset the CMOS

[toxic mortar]

Risky shit

[autumn fossil]

Reseating GPU

CyberPowerPC UK 🔸 0333 323 7776 🔸 https://www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk

[toxic mortar]

So I have to take the gpu

Out

[wind citrus]

Unplug everything from the wall

[toxic mortar]

Hard part

[wind citrus]

Hold the power button for a few seconds to drain the remaining power

Then follow that video until the GPU is out. Once the GPU is out ping me

[toxic mortar]

I wish I could have a drink of water right now

To much stress man

[wind citrus]

Think about how much nicer it’ll be when ur pc running next to u

[toxic mortar]

Yes it would be so much nicer

I’m dehydrated

So bad

I’m already confused

[wind citrus]

Just follow it step by step

Don’t rush

[toxic mortar]

The wires

[wind citrus]

Push that down not up

[forest ice]

Push the top part down while pulling

[wind citrus]

The little clip bit

Pinch it between ur fingers and give it a pull out

[toxic mortar]

The clip I’m pushing down

With one hand

And then other hand pulling the wire

[forest ice]

Nono do with one hand

Like pinch it inbetween with your fingers

[wind citrus]

Thumb on the top pushing the clip down and index underneath helping you slowly pull it out

Again, don’t be afraid to apply a bit of pressure to get it to let go

[toxic mortar]

Do I push the clip that way

Or other way

It’s out

[forest ice]

Them screws here holding the GPU in place need to come out now

[toxic mortar]

Alright

Is it the top 2?

[forest ice]

Able to take pic so its clearer?

[forest ice]

Yep top 2

[toxic mortar]

Ok both off

[autumn fossil]

:tada: Congrats @toxic mortar, you levelled up to 6! :tada:

[toxic mortar]

Where’s this clip

[forest ice]

I got the pic of google but the clip should be around there

[wind citrus]

Now this one can be a pain

I would suggest using something flat to push it down

[forest ice]

^

[wind citrus]

Cos it might hurt ur finger it requires a fair bit of pressure to push down properly

[toxic mortar]

Would it be this

[forest ice]

Sometimes depending on the board instead of pushing down you have to sort of push it right

[forest ice]

Yeah that looks like it

[toxic mortar]

Fuck me

Why is it so hard

I’ve put a dent in my finger

[forest ice]

Try use ur thumb lol if u can fit it in there

[toxic mortar]

Cant

[forest ice]

(That's what she said)

[toxic mortar]

The cpu is to big

[forest ice]

Damn

[toxic mortar]

The cpu bro

It’s been messing me up

The left ram was so hard to put in

Because of it

[forest ice]

Try what Ant said and use something flat may help

[wind citrus]

Lolol don’t touch the cpu for god sake we’ve barely got past the RAM yet!

But yes that’s the little lever you need to push

[toxic mortar]

😂

[wind citrus]

If you have a screwdriver, use that to push it down

[toxic mortar]

It’s went down a bit

But it’s hard

[wind citrus]

Yup lol

That’s level 1, u gotta do level 2 now

[toxic mortar]

Bro I cant

My thumb bro

Both of them

[forest ice]

Okay try instead of pushing it down sort of push it to the right >>>>

[toxic mortar]

To the eight

Right

[wind citrus]

On the right side of the clip

[forest ice]

It took me ages to take my GPU out too when I done it and I needed to push the clip to the right

[wind citrus]

Try pushing from there

Also, use a screwdriver, not your finger. It’s weirdly easier

Just gotta put some good pressure on it

[toxic mortar]

I feel like I’m gonna snap it tho

If I use the screwdriver

[wind citrus]

Is it straight

[toxic mortar]

I’ve been pushing it with the screwdriver hard

[wind citrus]

Or is it angled still

[toxic mortar]

I’ll check in a minute

[wind citrus]

Ok

[toxic mortar]

Went to look for another screwdriver

[wind citrus]

Flatheads r best

[wind citrus]

Either way get it as close to the motherboard surface as you can, then you should be good to unscrew the rear bracket (if you haven’t already) and pull out

[toxic mortar]

My arm fucking shakes

When pushing it

[wind citrus]

Stop using ur bloody thumb😂😂

Give it a good push with the screwdriver

It will just give way

[toxic mortar]

The top of the screwdriver?

Na I knew the beeping was from the ram since the start cuz it was never beeping until the ram got touched

But ofc the power cycle came back

[wind citrus]

Yes just push down on that lever until it goes all the way down

Towards the motherboard itself

[toxic mortar]

Bro I’m denting the clip

With holes

It’s not going down either

[wind citrus]

Right so let’s assume it’s done

Pull the GPU

[toxic mortar]

Oh shit

[wind citrus]

Again, a bit of force may be needed. If it doesn’t give way, you’ve not pushed the clip down enough

[toxic mortar]

It’s been done the whole time

[wind citrus]

Lmfao

[toxic mortar]

I’ve pulled it out

[wind citrus]

Ok so now do the CMOS battery

[toxic mortar]

What would happen if the screwdriver

Would of hit

The motherboard

[wind citrus]

There’s a small lever somewhere on the inside of the circle it’s in, push that in / to the side and the battery should start to pop out

[toxic mortar]

Underneath the lever

[wind citrus]

You probably would’ve been fine.

[toxic mortar]

Oh

Where’s this batter

Ohhhh

[wind citrus]

Should be a silver one

You’ll see a small lever somewhere on the side of that battery

Push that away from the battery n it’ll partially, or fully pop out

[wind citrus]

Yes

Once it’s out, wait 30 secs, then simply put it back in

[toxic mortar]

Where is the lever

[wind citrus]

I cannot see too well in the video

But it’s pretty obvious

It’ll be like a small little piece of metal

[toxic mortar]

Oh I’ve pushed it

It’s done nothing

[wind citrus]

Push it again

Harder

N the battery should pop out just a tiny bit

[modest venture]

That's normal

[wind citrus]

Then just take it out. It’s literally just a watch battery so don’t worry about it electrocuting you lol

[toxic mortar]

I’m not worrying about that

That’s the least I’m worrying about tbh

I want this fixed

Badky

[wind citrus]

We r so close

[toxic mortar]

I knowwwww

I can’t get this battery bro

I’m pushing the lever

[wind citrus]

Basically try to make the little metal bit flat with the side

[wind citrus]

Don’t use ur fingers😂😂😂

Get the screwdriver back out

[toxic mortar]

I’ve cut me nail

[wind citrus]

Am not surprised lad

[toxic mortar]

Ah

[modest venture]

Most people use their hands

Screwdriver can be risky

[toxic mortar]

Bro the screwdriver workedinstantly

Tf

Got the battery

It’s cold

Asf

Suprisingly

[wind citrus]

It’s just a battery

[forest ice]

Now hold power button for a few secs to drain the power

[toxic mortar]

When should I put it back in

[toxic mortar]

Before I put the battery in?

[wind citrus]

Yup drain everything again like u did at the start

[mellow stream]

I’d be concerned if it was hot

[wind citrus]

Then put it back in

[forest ice]

yh

[toxic mortar]

Ok

[wind citrus]

Then install the GPU again, the clip will automatically fix this time don’t worry. Screw in, add power, crack on

[toxic mortar]

So I put the battery in?

[mellow stream]

Yes

[wind citrus]

Yes

[modest venture]

Yes

[toxic mortar]

Ok battery in

Now the gpu

[wind citrus]

Sweet

[toxic mortar]

Hard part

😐

[wind citrus]

The easy bit dw

It’s easier to get in than out, that I can guarantee lol

[modest venture]

Line up the golden fingers

I find the pcie cover above can sometimes block it a bit

[toxic mortar]

Bro it keeps hitting things

[wind citrus]

Try lining up the bit that you screw in first

[toxic mortar]

Am I lining it right tho?

[mellow stream]

That’s the correct orientation

[wind citrus]

You may find the bracket on the GPU goes between the motherboard and back of case a little bit

[toxic mortar]

Idk if I did it right

Na I didint

It’s still very loose

[wind citrus]

Try lining up the bracket at the back first

Once that’s in place the PCIE bit should almost be a natural fit

[forest ice]

Did you give it a little push?

[toxic mortar]

Is it good?

It’s not so loose now

[modest venture]

It's a bit out

[toxic mortar]

If I screw it in

[forest ice]

Doesn't look in at the back properly

[toxic mortar]

Is it

[modest venture]

You don't want to see the golden

[toxic mortar]

I can’t pull it out anymore?

[forest ice]

Push it until them golden bits go in more

[toxic mortar]

Uh

Good or na?

[forest ice]

Yeah looks better

[modest venture]

Check the pcie slots

[toxic mortar]

Idk what that is tbh

[modest venture]

Ah not the pcie slots the rear

Where you screw it in

It is possibly misaligned cause that side should be flush

It's probably fine though

[toxic mortar]

So I should screw it in now?

Then put the wire back in

[modest venture]

Did you hear a click?

When you slotted the GPU in?

[toxic mortar]

A little bit

I mean I can’t pull it out anymore

The lever has to be pushed down again

[wind citrus]

Yes

Plug power in to the GPU

[modest venture]

Okay good yeah screw it in

[wind citrus]

Then plug into wall and boot it up

[toxic mortar]

Ok time to screw it in then

I can’t even get the screw in

It’s so small

[modest venture]

Should go in

[toxic mortar]

Wait

Why is this like this

Little gap?

[wind citrus]

Yeah I would line that up first

[modest venture]

Looks misaligned

[wind citrus]

That’s what the bracket part is

Line that up, then slotting it into the motherboard should be easier

[toxic mortar]

So should I pull the gpu back out

[forest ice]

Yeah

Line that back part up first when putting it back in

[toxic mortar]

Uh

I don’t know what I’ve done

This won’t come out

Nevermind

[wind citrus]

Yes because it’s misaligned it’ll be awkward

[toxic mortar]

Only half the lever

Was down

[wind citrus]

You’ll get it out after a few wiggles

There ya go

[toxic mortar]

So now I need to line up the hole

[autumn fossil]

:tada: Congrats @toxic mortar, you levelled up to 7! :tada:

[wind citrus]

Ok once it’s out

• line up the screw holes on the rear bracket, then get them as close to how it’ll be. Part of that metal bracket may fit between the motherboard and case, Don’t worry if it does

Once that’s done, the PCIE slot on the motherboard should be nicely aligned for you to slot it into

[toxic mortar]

Does this look right

[modest venture]

Yeah looks ok there

[toxic mortar]

Wait

[modest venture]

How about the golden fingers

[toxic mortar]

Na that was wrong

One of the screws

Wouldn’t go in

[wind citrus]

Line up the left, don’t screw it

Screw once it’s in the motherboard

Just use the left being lined up as a guide

[toxic mortar]

The screws don’t get lined up

[modest venture]

They looked linedup

Ah nevermind I see

[wind citrus]

They will line up. Just take a minute to position it

Don’t rush.

[modest venture]

Take out the bottom pcie cover, it may make it easier

[wind citrus]

This was perfect line up. Then you just push the PCIE in, you may need to pull out the lined up part momentarily to get it in

[toxic mortar]

See

I can’t get the screws in

[wind citrus]

That’s exactly where it should be

You can move the GPU around til the screws slot in. You get a bit of lenience on that bracket to line it up properly

Again, stop using your hands. You’ll want the screw at the end of a screwdriver and your hand to align the GPU hole with the case hole so you can get it screwed in

[toxic mortar]

I’ve screwed it in

[wind citrus]

Boom

Now power on GPU and get it booted up

My fingers r crossed!

[toxic mortar]

Is that all right ye?

[modest venture]

Good

[toxic mortar]

Is that correct?

[wind citrus]

Looks fine

[wind citrus]

Only one way to truly find out

[toxic mortar]

Fuck

[wind citrus]

Did you just cliff hanger me?

[toxic mortar]

Wtf was that

No

No

[autumn fossil]

tkndark2 was warned for Spamming

[toxic mortar]

Wtf

[autumn fossil]

tkndark2 was kicked for having too many infractions

[wind citrus]

What happened lol

[modest venture]

His PSU isn't on

On the O position

[forest ice]

?

[toxic mortar]

The noise

Look in the vjdeo

That little noise

Coming from the pc

[modest venture]

That's just the power cord

Probably not in properly

[wind citrus]

Sometimes it fizzles when loose just make sure it’s connected properly

[toxic mortar]

It’s on

Uh

It’s not turning off

But the light keeps flickering

Idk if that’s normal

Or it’s cuz I don’t have a display

[modest venture]

Hook it up the a display

[toxic mortar]

Nothing is in it

Should I turn it off first?

[wind citrus]

First unplug it

Yes

[toxic mortar]

Ye

Alright

[wind citrus]

We have fixed everything else

So the display post should be good

Let us know

[toxic mortar]

Tbh kinda forgot where I put the hdmi

[modest venture]

For future ref there's a two pin header on the board that clears the CMOS

[wind citrus]

The way you did was the proper way

[forest ice]

In to the GPU?

[wind citrus]

😂 is ok. I forgot what the right way to have the PSu switch was once lol

[toxic mortar]

Ye so where I put

[forest ice]

The 1st one

is hdmi

the other 3 are dp

[toxic mortar]

Ye in the video

[wind citrus]

Yup the one u pointed at

[toxic mortar]

Ye

Alright

Now I put the pc plug back in it

Is there any point putting the keyboard and mouse in

Or should I wait till I see

If the screen works

[forest ice]

yeah just wait

[toxic mortar]

So why is it power cycling again?

[modest venture]

Any beeps?

[toxic mortar]

No

Beeps went ages ago

Now it’s just turning off and on again

It was literally just working then but I didint have my hdmi in

Tf

[modest venture]

Take the hdmi out

Does it work?

[wind citrus]

Do you have a spare HDMI?

[toxic mortar]

Lemme take the hdmi out

N I’ll try it again

Without a hdmi

Wait now it’s power cycling again

Why Tf

[wind citrus]

Might be because we booted without a display idk

I would say CMOs reset again but I think you may implode

[modest venture]

Use the two pin header

[toxic mortar]

Wym two pin header

[wind citrus]

There are 2 pins you put a screwdriver to which reset the CMOs also

Again, make sure power etc is off and drained

[toxic mortar]

Where

[modest venture]

Bottom of the board

[wind citrus]

Usually bottom right

[modest venture]

I forgot the header name, I'm looking it up now

Clrrtc

[toxic mortar]

It literally just worked tho

So how come it’s just done that again?

[modest venture]

Not sure

If you locate the clrrtc two pins, bridge them with a screw driver for 5 seconds

[toxic mortar]

Where about are they

[modest venture]

It's a different board but it will be roughly around there

[wind citrus]

I’d suggest doing the CMOS reset the recommended way if you’re unsure on which pins to make contact with

The highlighted area in that diagram does not help

[modest venture]

https://www.asus.com/uk/support/faq/1040820/

[toxic mortar]

So do everything I’ve just down

Done

Again

[wind citrus]

Yes

I have a feeling you’ll breeze through it this time

[toxic mortar]

Kinda bad but yeno

I’ll do it

[wind citrus]

Am slightly confused as to why it looped again. You may of turned it off suddenly by the wall and caused that

Easy but annoying fix to it lol

[toxic mortar]

I can’t take the wires

Out

Nvm

Now battery out

[wind citrus]

U got this

[toxic mortar]

Battery in

[wind citrus]

Nearly there

[toxic mortar]

Looks good? @wind citrus

[wind citrus]

Sure. Give it a go with monitor plugged in

[toxic mortar]

Alright

Nope it’s still power cycling

My god man

[forest ice]

PSU dead then?

[modest venture]

I would lean more towards platform

[toxic mortar]

Nothing should be wrong with it

It only ever started power cycling

When Fivem crashed

And my pc wouldn’t turn off

So I held the power button

And ever since I held the power button in the middle of a Fivem crash

It’s been power cycling

[wind citrus]

It is a bit weird. I’d go back to official support and highlight what we’ve done

[toxic mortar]

So I’m literally at the beginning

[wind citrus]

Thankfully we’ve resolved the RAM issue

[toxic mortar]

It literally worked a minute ago tho

[wind citrus]

So I’d narrow it to PSU or motherboard. It’s looping somewhere

[toxic mortar]

That’s the thing

[wind citrus]

It did, it’s bizarre

[toxic mortar]

So how come out of no where

As soon as I put the hdmi in

It started looping?

[modest venture]

What CPU do you have

[toxic mortar]

[modest venture]

Give em the deets, then they will send you the forum once they reckon it needs parts replacing

[toxic mortar]

Wait it’s not turning off now?

But no display?

I’ve been waiting with it turning off and on for like 3 minutes

It’s been just turning off and on now it’s randomly just staying on

But no display

Power button flashing on and off tho

[wind citrus]

Could you turn of at wall, plug in monitor to pc and start. Spam delete the whole time

See if BIOS loads

Sorry F2 not delete

[toxic mortar]

So should I turn it back on?

With the monitor in

And pc plugged in

And then obviously the keyboard and mouse

[wind citrus]

Yes everything

Im confused by the blinking led light honestly . Haven’t seen it before myself

[toxic mortar]

Do u think the rams are not working anymore

[wind citrus]

If it doesn’t let you into BIOS I’d leave it to official support to advise just in case replacement parts are neeeed

[toxic mortar]

That can cause power cycle

[wind citrus]

No I think the RAM is absolutely fine

[toxic mortar]

I have a feeling my motherboard is bricked

[wind citrus]

I think it’s your PSu or motherboard. Potentially cpu if a couple memory lanes r pooped but that’s fairly rare and a game crash shouldn’t cause that

[toxic mortar]

I just don’t get how a Fivem crash

Has caused all of this

My cpu is 100% getting fked of this

[wind citrus]

😂

[toxic mortar]

Tbh it does power cycle for ages

But then it turned on with the power button still flashing

And no display

[modest venture]

Remove one stick of ram

[toxic mortar]

I’ll turn it back on and let it power cycle a bit more

[toxic mortar]

Alright

[modest venture]

If that doesn't work switch them out

[toxic mortar]

Tbh I may of put the wrong ram in

The wrong slot

Cuz I moved them around about 300 times

[modest venture]

Slots 2 and 4

[toxic mortar]

I only have 2 slors

[modest venture]

Then it's fine

[toxic mortar]

Should I not swap it then?

[wind citrus]

Take either one out

Leave 1 in

See if you can isolate a particular ram stick

Then try the other stick in the same lane, and see if it’s a lane issue, or stick issue

If it’s lane I imagine your technical help probably battered the lane when installing the ram lll

[toxic mortar]

Ok I took the right one out

Nothing changed

Should I take the left one out and put the right one back in?

[wind citrus]

Yes

[modest venture]

Make sure they are fully clicked in

[toxic mortar]

Still power cycling

[autumn fossil]

:tada: Congrats @toxic mortar, you levelled up to 8! :tada:

[toxic mortar]

What should I do?

Swap them?

To different slot

Or just put both back in

To where it was

[wind citrus]

Different slot

[toxic mortar]

I’ll swap them then

[wind citrus]

Sure. Rules it out anyway

[toxic mortar]

Ok both swapped

Still power cycling

Should I just keep them where they are at?

[forest ice]

Most likely PSU or Mobo issue then 😦

[toxic mortar]

Fuck

[forest ice]

Have you got the PC plugged in to the wall or a surge protector

[toxic mortar]

Wall

[forest ice]

Okay nvm that rules out faulty surge protector

Yeah just contact support at this point ;-;

[toxic mortar]

Stupid Fivem

I’m getting sent a form now

[modest venture]

Brilliant

[toxic mortar]

The whole week with no pc

[toxic mortar]

@modest venture @forest ice @wind citrus

I appreciate all the help

From you guys

Was a bit fun messing around with the pc parts ngl

Sad how it didint fix tho

Every fan in the pc moves as they should do it just turns off what is the bad thing

[forest ice]

No worries at least you have a lil PC knowledge now 😂

Support will sort you out don’t worry 👍

Likely a PSU or motherboard replacement

[toxic mortar]

Ye

Kinda needed the pc this week

But it’s what ever

Would I have to go the post office to return it ye

[forest ice]

They’ll send a prepaid label so DPD can come pick it up I believe

They’ll explain it all on the email

[toxic mortar]

Ah I see

[wind citrus]

As long as you got a bit of experience out of it eh!

[toxic mortar]

Ye

The second time when I did the cmos

It felt like I was a pc expert

😂

[wind citrus]

exactly, once its done 1 time, its a lot easier to do again

[toxic mortar]

I appreciate it tho

For trying to help

Atleast the beeping went

But ye the power cycling is probably worse

[modest venture]

No prob, it will be a smooth process, you will have it back in no time !

[toxic mortar]

Newcastle to Liverpool

quite a far trip

[wind citrus]

always good to work backwards til you find the source, but im fairly certain this is either psu or mobo. cp will figure it all out. the benefit of this is, you won't see the pc unless its in full working order

[modest venture]

Trust me, I've been through the process and obviously I don't love it but, the process was very good

[toxic mortar]

Don’t have the pc box 😂

30 quid charge

For that

[modest venture]

Shit

[toxic mortar]

Is mental

[modest venture]

Search up instapak on Amazon

[toxic mortar]

For bit of cardboard

[modest venture]

It adds up

[toxic mortar]

Wym

I don’t have anything from when I got the pc

I don’t have the foam inside of the pc anymore

Don’t have the box

Don’t have anything at all

[modest venture]

Yes, it's included in the kit

It's not just cardboard

[toxic mortar]

So it would be more then 30?

If I don’t have anything at all

[modest venture]

No, it's included iirc

[toxic mortar]

Na I mean

Do I need it to send the pc?

[modest venture]

Yes

[toxic mortar]

Oh ffs

Honestly tho?

that’s a bit stupid

[modest venture]

Nah not really

They can't insure it if it isn't properly packaged

[toxic mortar]

61 x 46 cm

Big enough?

[modest venture]

Not sure

[modest venture]

For what?

[toxic mortar]

Case: Corsair 3000D RGB Airflow Gaming Case - Black (features 3x ARGB 120mm fans)

To fit the case

In the cardboard box?

[modest venture]

Get the packaging from them to make sure it's properly done

They will send the right stuff

[toxic mortar]

From who

Cyberpower?

[modest venture]

Yes

[toxic mortar]

will make it take longer tho wont it

🤬🤬

knew I shouldn’t of threw all of it away

[modest venture]

It says to not throw it away

[toxic mortar]

Tbh I don’t remember

Btw my pc is not power cycling rn

It’s just power button flashing

No display

Should I try the f2

?

[modest venture]

I'm not sure what the button flashing means tbh

I usually see that when a PC goes to sleep

[modest venture]

Nah it won't

[toxic mortar]

Should I put my keyboard in

And click f2

[modest venture]

You have to do that when the PC starts

You can turn it off, turn it on (hold the power button) and mash F8

[toxic mortar]

Let’s see if the lights on the keyboard work

[modest venture]

It's F8

[toxic mortar]

Lights on keyboard don’t work

So my keyboard

Wouldn’t work anyways

Clearly the power cycling doesn’t let monitor work

Because if my keyboard won’t even connect and light up

The monitor obviously wouldn’t display anything

Time to break my fast anyways

@modest venture do u not think it’s dust

The cpu is pretty dusty

So was the ram but I’ve cleaned the ram

[wind citrus]

no

dust wont affect those components much. maybe temps on the cpu but not enough from what you've shown me

[toxic mortar]

I’ve looked on YouTube and it said that dust can mess up even a new pc

A game crashing wouldn’t ever ever fuck up my motherboard or psu

[modest venture]

Look at it another way

[toxic mortar]

There is just no way a game crashing has done this

[modest venture]

you played a game that exposed your PC fault

[toxic mortar]

Could be

[modest venture]

A game by itself can not damage hardware

[toxic mortar]

See thing is

I crashed on Fivem and nothing would work

Not even my windows button

Nothing

[modest venture]

Even if you think to the New world incident, that was an EVGA problem

[toxic mortar]

Whole pc froze

And then I held the power button on my pc for 7 seconds

[modest venture]

Something might of happened then

[toxic mortar]

And then turned it back on

It might of been cuz I restarted it

It’s in a restart loop now

[modest venture]

Still not your fault though, its bad hardware (presumably)

[toxic mortar]

Cuz it’s basically restarting

It turns on and then after a few seconds turns off

Like a restart

[modest venture]

If a PC breaks by restarting, thats not a good PC

[toxic mortar]

A restart takes a few seconds to happen

And that’s basically what’s happening

With the pc

[modest venture]

Wait.

Take out the NVME drive

[toxic mortar]

The power button could be fucked?

[modest venture]

I want to see what happens

[toxic mortar]

What’s that
