Does anyone know why when i press shut down or restart nothing happens

stoic island
#

so I usually just click furmark on the left

little osprey
#

ur windows files prob corrupt

runic mountain
#

I need to force shut down from the case

stoic island
#

@runic mountain hold it down

#

Pressing usually doesn't do anything

runic mountain
#

Yeah that’s the only way it works

little osprey
#

stoic island
#

it's normal

little osprey
#

runic mountain

But i want the sleep and shut down button to work on the computer itself

random prairie

random prairie
little osprey

stoic island
#

little osprey
#

we'll give a try

#

stoic island
#

I think it corrupted the drive or something, it was some weird thing a month ago or so

runic mountain
random prairie
#

got this but fans no go

little osprey
#

press y

#

i mean

#

type y

#

then restart ur pc

#

and it will check ur disk

#

huh

runic mountain
#

okay

little osprey
#

ur fans are broken lol

#

full load and fans dont run

random prairie
#

lol

stoic island
little osprey
#

hmm

#

theres also steps after that too

random prairie
#

hey mr1111

little osprey
#

it may also be a registry file error

#

so ill make sure he checks his reg files

random prairie
#

you know how you were talking about that feature

chilly hazel
#

i have two exhaust fans, one located top back like usual, one located on top of case towards back, so they kinda create an L shape. I saw someone recommend rpm of 900-950 if you only have 1 exhaust. since I have two, is 650-700 rpm ok to keep fans on the quite side?

stoic island
#

Yes

random prairie
#

how turn off this feature

#

i want fans spin

#

all time

runic mountain
#

alright

random prairie
#

24/7

runic mountain
#

i rebooted

stoic island
#

It's a fan curve

#

it's built into the vbios

little osprey
#

ok

#

prosilent uh

#

open cmd prompt again

stoic island
#

some have a "feature" where lower temps have 0% on the fan curve

little osprey
#

@random prairie fans still dont spin?

random prairie
#

so how change

stoic island
#

@random prairie is it spinning now with furmark on?

runic mountain
#

yep

random prairie
#

nope

little osprey
#

ok prosilent type in

#

sfc /scannow

stoic island
#

also, only 40c with furmark open is interesting

random prairie
#

50-60 decrees Celsius

#

yes that is max it go to

stoic island
#

1920x1080 furmark stress test?

random prairie
#

bet hold up

#

i sent pics soons

little osprey
#

his gpu was max load

#

and his fan didnt spin

#

theres def a problem

#

try forcing ur fans to spin with afterburner

#

and if that doesnt work

#

eh

#

idk man

#

lol

random prairie
#

what and how install afterburner

little osprey
#

uh

#

ill send dms

random prairie
#

k

stoic island
#

Something sounds wrong with no fans spinning with furmark running but

#

https://www.msi.com/Landing/afterburner

Afterburner

MSI Afterburner is the world’s most recognized and widely used graphics card overclocking utility. It provides detailed overview of your hardware and comes with some additional features like customizing fan profiles, benchmarking and video recording.

random prairie
#

hey its doing it again

little osprey
#

cant send links for me in afterburner

#

?

#

doing what again

random prairie
#

no spin low temps

little osprey
#

yea

#

theres something wrong

#

download afterburner first

random prairie
#

wait

#

i hear something

#

HOORAY

little leaf
#

Not necessarily if its at max load and at that low of temps

stoic island
#

and also, fans don't need to spin when at low temps, that's why fan curves and 0% fan speed is a thing

random prairie
#

i love you guys they spin

stoic island
#

okay, so it's working as intended

little leaf
#

Fans dont spin until put under load lol

little osprey
#

oh

#

thats good then

#

before u said

#

they dont spin

stoic island
#

@little leaf it was worrying me if fans wern't spinning with furmark going lmao

little osprey
#

while the pic was at like 100% load

random prairie
#

yea they werent

little osprey
#

so i was very confused

random prairie
#

i was worried they broke

little osprey
#

its working fine then

little leaf
#

Ye lol but I saw he just started it since it was at 50

random prairie
#

stoic island
hollow grail
#

@runic mountain
General fix for random windows problems

From an admin command prompt or powershell, run:

sfc /scannow

If that doesn't work, try:

dism /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth
dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

Then, try running sfc again.

#

there

#

just copy that

stoic island
#

smh

runic mountain
#

ty

#

yeah it did send up there i missed it

hollow grail
#

no worries

#

just make sure you open cmd as admin

runic mountain
#

ok

little osprey
#

whenever you see something not working with windows or such

#

such as buttons not working

hollow grail
#

just reinstall keeeek

little osprey
#

its probably gonna be windows files corrupted

#

reinstall

hollow grail
#

ezpz

runic mountain
#

ahh

little osprey
#

that takes long time

hollow grail
#

dont actually reinstall

little osprey
#

yea lol

hollow grail
#

was memeing

runic mountain
#

it works soemtimes doesnt work other times idk

little osprey
#

just make sure u dont

#

use the power button on ur case that much

#

incase the hard drive is running and u just forcefully shut it off

#

its not good and may even corrupt the files

hollow grail
#

meanwhile i have literally hotplugged nvme drives

runic mountain
#

how else should i shut it off

little osprey
#

wtf

#

crazy

hollow grail
#

sometimes u gotta do crazy stuff to be CEO

little osprey
#

u just shut it off

stoic island
#

Do you have hotswappable pcie cards with nvme drives on em?

little osprey
#

using the shutdown feature given by windows

#

lol

#

true that

#

oh yea also

#

i got a problem with this ssd that i have

hollow grail
stoic island
#

ah

hollow grail
#

in hotswap bays

little osprey
#

whenever i plug it in

#

it doesnt boot up

#

at all

#

it doesnt make my bios boot up

stoic island
#

yea sata hotswap makes more sense

little osprey
#

it can post

hollow grail
#

its not sata

#

i said nvme

little osprey
#

but my screen just freezes

hollow grail
#

dumy

little osprey
#

so like for ex

#

i plug my 2.5 sata in

stoic island
#

lemme just say it this way

little osprey
#

i power it on

#

pc posts

stoic island
#

non-m.2-slot-hotswap

little osprey
#

goes to screen where it says

#

press delete key for bios

stoic island
#

because I don't think m.2 is designed for hotswap

little osprey
#

i press delete key

#

and nothing happens

#

it just freezes

#

so i cant go to bios

hollow grail
little osprey
#

the ssd is broken so how do i fix it

#

anyone

#

however when i use a different drive the pc works

#

and i can go to bios

#

i dont

#

theres nothing on the drive

#

i used to have windows on it

#

but i bought a m.2 \

#

i wanna add it to my pc tho

#

but when i plug it in

#

i cant get to the bios

#

as it automatically goes to that drive

#

for some reason

#

well

#

i caused the whole problem

#

so

hollow grail
#

of course u did keeeek

little osprey
#

i tried to secure erase the ssd

#

LOL ok

hollow grail
#

lul

little osprey
#

then it was taking way too long

#

so i just forcefully shut the pc down

stoic island
#

...

hollow grail
little osprey
#

causing the motherboard bios to be corrupt

#

forcing me to reinstall its bios

#

through the bios flashback feature

#

everything works now

#

but the ssd is broken

#

lol yea it was stupid of me but whatever

hollow grail
#

ssd is probs fine

little osprey
#

yea

hollow grail
#

you have another pc u can use?

little osprey
#

yea

hollow grail
#

then format it properly

little osprey
#

how

#

i cant

#

thats the thing

hollow grail
#

crucial ssds in general are hot ass in my experience

little osprey
#

whenever i try to plug it in a pc

#

it doesnt boot at all

#

not even the bios

hollow grail
#

then plug in after booted

#

ezpz

little osprey
#

yea

little leaf
#

Mx500 is better than bx500

little osprey
#

i have to buy it

#

god dammit

#

i want to save my money

little leaf
#

Bx has no dram

little osprey
#

something like this

hollow grail
#

if its nvme

hollow grail
#

i had like 7 mx500 1tb drives

little osprey
#

i guess i have to buy this adapter then

hollow grail
#

6 in raid one hot spare

little osprey
#

i could fix it without buying the adapter if the computer just didnt boot to that ssd and boot to my nvme instead

#

actually

#

true

hollow grail
#

literally dropped 1% smart health every few days

little osprey
#

u can just

little leaf
#

I have an nvme to usb

hollow grail
#

literal garbage ssds

little osprey

oak elbow
hollow grail

because i dont trust the 840 for non game drive use lol

#

those drives were assssss

oak elbow
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

hollow grail
#

only time i avoid a samsung drive

#

and i think it also has some 2tb drive

#

little osprey
#

samsung 840

#

hmm

oak elbow

hollow grail
#

i abused that mf

#

its perfect tho

oak elbow
hollow grail
#

what?

little osprey
#

he meant

#

m.2 for boot drive and sata ssd for games

hollow grail
#

yeah that works

little osprey
#

u dont have to do that if ur m.2 has a lot of space

#

like 1tb

hollow grail
#

i still think gaming on sata ssds is dumb lol

little osprey
#

1tb u can install like 1-2 games on it

oak elbow
#

Ok thank you

little osprey
#

#

put on sata ssd

hollow grail
#

little osprey
#

yea true

#

i just have a 2tb hdd

ripe wedge
little osprey
#

and put all my games on it

#

true

#

faster loading times

hollow grail
ripe wedge
#

yep

hollow grail
#

i still need to script it so games i havent launched in a month are moved to hdd

little osprey
#

whats storage density

ripe wedge
#

wanna hear a dumb idea I had

#

take a usb hub and just get a ton of high capacity usb thumb drives and raid them together

little osprey
#

lol

oak elbow
#

HDD is slightly old compared to SSD

little osprey
#

i just compare them like this

hollow grail
little osprey
#

hdd is like ur warehouse

oak elbow
#

Ok

little osprey
#

and ssd is just ur

ripe wedge
little osprey
#

car that just takes you anywhere u want

hollow grail
oak elbow
#

Yah

little osprey
#

not well i guess

hollow grail
little osprey
#

one usb port

ripe wedge
#

lol

little osprey
#

can only handle that much bandwidth

#

so

#

yea..

hollow grail
#

they got like 300mb/s

#

for 30 mins

#

then a drive popped

little osprey
#

lol

ripe wedge
oak elbow
fleet pagoda
#

I tried installing my motherboard drivers and it restarted my pc and now my monitors are jus black

#

Their on but jut black

#

What should i do

languid cedar
#

Did you install them fully?

#

If you stop them in the middle its screws stuff up

fleet pagoda
#

Yeah and my pc restarted

#

My monitors r black

languid cedar
#

Maybe turn ur psu off and let it reboot fully

wanton cliff
#

Uuuuuh

languid cedar
#

Fir like 10 mins

wanton cliff
#

I think you killed your mobo

fleet pagoda
#

Mobo isnt dead

wanton cliff
#

U sure?

fleet pagoda
#

I have lights on my case

#

And cooler

wanton cliff
#

Ok

fleet pagoda
#

I jus tried installing drivers for my mobo

#

It restarted it showed aorus the on the loading screen when it finished and no its jus black

fossil halo
#

wow

#

clearing cmos is so useful

#

do u guys remember dreary

#

i invited him here bc his pc was buggin

#

he got a new ssd and it worked for like a day and the pc died again

#

then asus support just told him to clear cmos 😂

#

and it worked

mortal girder
#

so whats a good wifi MOBO for a ryzen 7 3700x?

stoic island
#

depends on budget

mortal girder
#

no more then 160 for mobo

#

usd

stoic island
#

prob b550m pro4

#

105$

fossil halo
#

thats weird

#

asrock

#

isnt

stoic island
#

Oh wifi

#

B550m pro vdh wifi, 110$

fossil halo
#

b550m tuf plus wifi is 160 exact

#

wifi 6

#

this thing bangs

stoic island
#

@fossil halo lmao you could just get a b550m pro4 with a ax200 adapter for like 40$ less than the tuf plus

#

160$ tuf b550m wifi doesn't make sense to me imo, aorus elite ax, when in stock, is usually 170$

#

like

#

it's just twinned 4 true 50a stages

#

it's only 4 fan headers

#

it's a very sad board imo for 160$

fossil halo
#

ig

#

it got hella usb headers tho

#

thats not something u find on most matx boards

#

my mobo only has 1

stoic island
#

......

#

bruh

hollow grail
#

we need the fat usb headers 1111

stoic island
#

BRUH ITS JUST 2 12v 1 5v IS THAT A LOT NOW?

gusty abyss
#

depends on priorities

hollow grail
#

how else do we run our usb drive raid array

stoic island
#

@hollow grail rear io usb count, b550m pro4 has the same number as b550m plus wifi

#

8 usb

#

internal usb wise, although sheet is a bit inaccurate, it's 3 on the b550m plus and 4 on the b550m pro4

hollow grail
#

i need 200 usb

#

to run my 512mb usb2 drives off of

#

to make my boot drive

stoic island
#

so b550m pro4 will get you 1 more usb

#

because more internal header

#

@hollow grail how are you going to cool those usb drives though?

#

do you only want to use 4 fans?

#

or do you want to go full send with 6?

#

HELL B550M PRO4 HAVE BETTER FAN HEADERS

#

5 OF THE HEADERS ON THE PRO4 ARE RATED FOR 2A, 1 IS 1A

#

EVERY ONE OF THE 4 ON THE PLUS IS 1A

muted patio
#

You OK?

gusty abyss
#

asrock ceo burner account

hollow grail
#

asrock is bad

muted patio
#

Anyone worth their cheese uses a fan hub anyway lol

#

Adjust one fan instead of 6 XD

ripe wedge
#

deepcool fan hub

stoic island
#

@muted patio think about it this way, you can get what, 50 fans, through a na-fc1, but if you want 300 fans, you need 6 headers to control them with 6 na-fc1s

muted patio
#

Very realistic'

wanton cliff
#

Yes, because I want 300 fans on a single PC. I don’t think I even have that much physical space in my room.

hollow grail
#

@stoic island whats that one 1440p 144hz monitor you like so much

stoic island
#

@hollow grail I think you're thinking about the M27q?

#

1440p 170hz

hollow grail
#

link?

stoic island
#

330$ on b&h and best buy if amazon stops going sale

mortal girder
#

Whats a good case under 55$ thats rgb

#

??

tender field
#

i have gpu Asus Radeon RX 590 is good for streaming

hollow grail
#

no

stuck anchor
#

whats the cheapest gaming pc i can buy to build

#

so i can mainly play apex legends and minecraft

wanton cliff
#

Are you talking about a prebuilt or a parts list?

stuck anchor
#

anything above 70fps is poggers

stuck anchor
wanton cliff
#

Also what settings what resolution

#

We need an actual budget here

stuck anchor
#

300$ budget

#

ig

fossil halo
#

wow

#

um

#

i thnk at that budget

#

u want to go with the optiplex and throw in gpu strat

#

or u can go full used parts but some of that is sus

stuck anchor
fossil halo
#

used parts are not the most trustworthy yj

#

yk

#

but i think optiplex with a gpu is the way to go ehre

#

u can even get a pretty good gpu

#

it wont be the most sightly thing ever but it will work

wanton cliff
#

Yeah $300 is not really doable

fossil halo
#

for a new parts list

wanton cliff
#

Especially not for Apex

fossil halo
#

yea

stuck anchor
#

what about all low settings

fossil halo
#

minecarft 70 fps is igpu

#

still

#

all low settings on igpu u would get really bad fps lmfao

wanton cliff
#

Even an Xbox isn’t that cheap

fossil halo
#

yea

wanton cliff
#

Actually you could go with the Series S

#

I don’t usually recommend consoles but

#

Yeah

#

That seems like your best option

stuck anchor
#

.

#

i mean i could like upgrade the pc over time right?

wanton cliff
#

I mean

#

Yeah

#

But

hollow grail
stuck anchor
#

60fps is godly to me

wanton cliff
#

For a $300 starting price there isn’t much upgrade room in the future

hollow grail
#

used psu moderately sus

#

but everything else ok

wanton cliff
#

True

#

Just don’t buy anything suspiciously cheap

#

Or anything too expensive

#

There is a little grey area

#

That’s where you come in

hollow grail
#

my $30 1080 looks at u

wanton cliff
#

How in the 9 circles did you get a 1080 for $30

hollow grail
#

supplier

fossil halo
#

LFMAO

#

I don’t care how much a budget build you are going for, you at least need 4 cores, even if they are really bad cores

Plus I’m pretty sure that socket is dead

Nearly dead at least

At this point

@wanton cliff

#

@cerulean trellis Maybe you could try getting into the bios or unplugging the drive to see if the same issue occurs.

#

That's cool and all

#

But

#

Why not using a different channel

little osprey

Ok, check your motherboard manual or send the model of the motherboard here please.

I can find it for you.

cerulean trellis
#

gigabyte b365m ds3h

drifting garnet
#

ok, let me see if I can find anything.

#

Are there multiple lights there by any chance?

#

There might be multiple different lights.

cerulean trellis
#

no

drifting garnet
#

ok

#

let me check the manual

cerulean trellis
#

there is just the orange light

drifting garnet
#

ok

#

This manual is too long and I'm not searching for that, I will just look it up

cerulean trellis
#

ok

drifting garnet
#

Actually, that might not be the problem because that was for and Asus motherboard but it might be worth checking.

cerulean trellis
#

ok 1 sec thanks btw

drifting garnet

deft zephyr
#

Yoooo guys i got a question rq, should i buy a diff cooler for the 5 5600x ro is the stock one just fine

urban trellis
#

Stock one is fine unless you want to do overclocking then temps might get higher

narrow sedge
drifting garnet
#

I have that Ram, it is not great for overclocking, but fine for rated speeds.

deft zephyr
#

Nah im still new to pc i dont think i want to overclock

#

scary

drifting garnet
#

Not sure if the PSU is any good.

muted patio
#

PSU is good actually

drifting garnet
#

I would get this Ram instead it is a little cheaper

narrow sedge
#

ok

#

ty

drifting garnet
#

I think everything else is good.

narrow sedge
#

alright thx first time building kinda nervouse

#

ok

drifting garnet
#

I mean

#

not B550

#

nevermind, the motherboard is fine, I was being dumb again

#

I think it's fine

#

@narrow sedge

narrow sedge
#

ok

drifting garnet
#

I was getting a little confused 😅

deft zephyr
#

Guys should i use a certain build guide like a vid or some or what

#

cuz all i know is that the motherboard and everythang else iss what i put

#

first

uneven mist
#

what a decent rise card for my pc for a vertical mount

#

just wondering a good one that wont break

muted patio
#

Does your case support a riser card?

#

Will there be enough clearance to the side panel so it can breathe?

uneven mist
#

p500a im pretty sure it supports it bc its got a vertical mount built in

muted patio
#

OH I have that exact case

#

Lemme link you the riser for it

#

Hmmm, newegg is out of stock

uneven mist
#

just link i could find it somewhere eose

#

?

muted patio
#

I got this kit

#

But didn't use the cage part

uneven mist
#

ok

muted patio
#

Just used the included plastic mount that came with the case

wanton cliff
#

Almost gone with my 3070 build. Gonna be lit as hell.

#

Friend and I have been working on it (extremely disorganized) for like 5 hours now.

muted patio
#

5 hours?

little osprey
#

rip

uneven mist
#

lol

little osprey
#

im new to pc building any tweaking to this part picker?

vagrant olive
#

a few questions @little osprey

#

is rgb ram important?

#

actually just one question

little osprey
#

that motherboard

vagrant olive
#

yeah

#

you have an f series chip so you dont need overclocking capabilities for your mobo

little osprey
#

what recommendations for ram and the mother board?

#

b460 should be fine

vagrant olive
#

no rgb but

little osprey
#

which b460

vagrant olive
#

you can get this for like 20 bucks cheaper

#

no rgb but

#

its faster

muted patio
#

Honestly

#

3200 is fine for Intel

little osprey
#

oh 10400f dont need 3600 either

vagrant olive
#

oh yeah true

muted patio
#

3600 for AMD

#

Ye, save even more

little osprey
#

10400 is just 2666xd

#

so a 3200 ballistix? with a 10400f is fine

vagrant olive
#

act ually

#

this is teh same ram but black

#

and for less

muted patio
#

yes

vagrant olive
#

actually its a tiny bit faster too

muted patio
#

3200 witha 10400F is perfect

little osprey
#

which b460 im really new sorry haah

#

Msi does good motherboards

#

or gigabyte for budget

#

so is that good?

#

hmm lil bit overpriced mobo 🤔 msi mag b460 torpedo is just for 100

#

or msi z490a pro for 160 for future updates 🤔

languid nimbus
#

What is the BEST am4 mobo around the 500-600$ price

#

(5950x)

little osprey
#

seems fine to me

#

yeah its much better now

muted patio
#

The case makes my eye twitch but otherwise yeah

little osprey
#

yea the case is pretty normie

muted patio
#

Well

#

It looks good

#

But airflow is poor

#

Almost all of NZXT's cases have poor flow

languid nimbus
little osprey
#

what do u think for a black and white clean looking case with good airflow?

languid nimbus
#

I mean my h700i is pretty good on airflow

muted patio
#

Black and white?

vagrant olive
#

whats ur budget

#

theres a lot of good black/white cases

little osprey
#

this is what i have atm

muted patio
#

SOmething with a mesh front instead of a tiny 1" wide row of holes for air to move through

little osprey
#

yea i like it

#

thanks guys

#

anytime 😇

#

it comes with two fans so should i just remove the 3 fans from the list?

#

you can add them as exhaust

#

i have an nzxt one for the cpu

#

hmm 2 in and one exhaust

muted patio
#

yeah, the AIO will be exhaust

#

Might want another one for the top of the case though

little osprey
#

ah ok

#

should be just ok. i gues
