Unless if I miss u fees told
Where can i find this at?
Right click WIndows icon - Device Manager - Display adapter
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950
You're gonna need a gpu upgrade first
Yare Yare Daze
A 4300 is only a little bit better than a Phenom 955 wow 
Download WhoCrashed. Run it and see what the dmp files say
it just shuts down
ok ill see
im pretty sure its not over power usage cuz im legit rendering a vid rn and its not shutting down
Or n1
its deepcool
1 sec lemme see
Is PSU spreadsheet just dead atm?
it only happen today tho
No it's working
Oh well
Mr1 is being censored 😳
I'm being censored how
its da700
yea
Cuz if so, that one kinda oof
lol
should i jus wait or get a psu now
cuz it hasnt happen before and ive had this pc for legit 1 month
Well, sometimes you have to stress PSU for a while to have it start oofing
Caps get hot, leak, things break down, etc
BUt get WhoCrashed to see what happened
ok
Reason: Duplicated text
Reason: Duplicated text
Reason: Too many infractions
bruh i got kicked lol
Yeah, just use screenshot instead
Don't copy pasta the text
k
Huh, no crash files
That's not good
That indicates a power or heat based shut down
Or get something like HWINFO64 to see what the temps are at
And grab GPU-Z also while you're at it
See what the GPU power voltage is at while it's under load
ok
If it droops below 11.5 it's a PSU problem
HWiNFO should show gpu voltage as well, but should still use gpuz
the 8 pin #1 voltage is 12 volts
ya, a heavy one
8 pin voltage at 11.8 volts
65 c
Oh let it run for a while yeah
65
ok
i just rendered a vid that took 9 min for cpu and it didnt crash
acc gpu temp at 87
wtf theres a hot spot at 100c
@muted patio
gpu at 90 c
GPU hotspot?
Thats hot
yea
Fan speed?
but my gpu wasnt under load when pc crashed
90% on gpu in afterburner
@muted patio does pcie slot voltage matter
Kinda, what is it
11.6 volts
Mmmm, that's getting a bit low
8 pin voltage at 11.8
but not terrible
imma just turn off my gpu overclock
make it normal speeds
yea now gpu at 887 c
87
10c drop whoooo
What case is this
Ohhh yeah for sure
i won the pc so i didnt hv choice on case
I getcha
it was prebuilt
Free is free XD
facts
especally when the free is some things that arent even in stock
including 3060 ti lol
thermals dropped a lot
gpu now at 74 c
load is 100%
on gpu
What gpu do that be?
3060 ti
yea
i was thinking of getting 2 more fans and putting them at the top
one intake 1 exhaust
or should i just swap out case later?
I'd swap out case later TBH
Not NZXT
ik im joking lol
Phanteks P400A, P500A, 4000D, TD500, etc
nzxt cases won worst air flow award
SOmething mesh front
ok
yea thats what i got on the pc i built
a mesh front
yea now that i think about it i think it was a temp problem
bcuz my case fans r conencted to the psu and case not mobo
and when the pc shut down the fan rgb was on
but they werent working
yea
the only airflow the front fans r getting is through some tiny holes at the front
on the sides
wait @muted patio yesterday i was changing some things in bios and when i saved the bios froze
I waited like 5 minutes and nothing happen so i shut the pc down
there was nothing wrong with the pc but is that supposed to harm your pc
lol i turned benchmark off gpu temps dropped from 77 instantly to 40 c
hotspot is 50 c
Nah it won't harm your PC
PSU seems to be OK
ok
I'd say temps were most likely issue
ok
yea i was mining a few days ago now i just quit cuz prices r really bad rn and not worth for me to give the heat to my gpu
And i took off my side panel and i was ok
so yea temps were probably problem
oh yea does anyone know how to change my export frame rate in davinci resolve
i can only make it 24 fps
Is this the correct way to install my cpu
nah it won't fit with the packaging on
lmao
Text should be facing the right way up for intel
It'll only go one with the notches on the CPU
This is so stressful
If I bent a pin would I hear it?
Should I check if I bent one
The motherboard pins
just look
Okay
Dude
I already took it out
Nos
Now
Cause you said I should look
Everything was fine
what if you bent a pin while installing the cpu again tho...
its fine just install the cpu
remove and check again
lmao
Go troll somewhere else
You asked how you were supposed to know...
there isnt any other way than removing it and looking
doesnt make me a troll lmfao
That is correct
Vintage does it matter which way I plug in fans and stuff
cpu fan?
Yes
Oh wait I see
ok
theres a clip on the board and a little thing with 2 lines on the fan connector
slide the clip between the line thingies
I've never done something more stressful in my life
😂
Do you guys no where I put my ram, which slots
I'm looking in the Mobo guide
But I cant find where it saids it
2 and 4
counting from cpu
so the one closest to the cpu is slot 1
Is that a universal thing
yes
Okay
Unless you only have 2 ram slots but yeah 2 and 4 very rarely is it 1 and 3
almost never
Man that was a b word to get in
Yes very rare
Is this the right way to install an io shield
What are the things sticking in ward on it?
ehh look at your motherboard and check if the top/bottom of io shield matches motherboard top/bottom
bend em back and forward so they break off
Okay
Oh i just bend em off lol
Eh
It's fine
I leave em all on XD
Then when do you bend them off
I don't see people's computers having metal things in all the ports
🤨
Well the metal would face inwards
I'm never buildings PC again
Help pls monitor no signal
Idk if u plugged in the wires wrong for the monitor
Cause everythings fans are working
Clear cmos
? Meaning
Defines CMOS technology and how to clear CMOS using the jumper or battery methods.
Follow those steps
Battery or the other one?
Or does it not matter
This monitors got like 3 different cables
The motherboard doesnt have a light for the gpu spot either
@fossil cedar it says my cpu isnt supported
And the light on the mobo isnt red for the gpu
What cpu and motherboard?
10th gen corei7 10700k and z490A
That is compatible
And its supposed to show a red light for if the gpu is working but its not red at all on the mobo
Just the battery removal process
@rare mountain that channel isn't for chatting or discussing and build pics only. Please chat here or somewhere else
Nothing wrong with clearing cmos
While im waiting for that, i had another question
Why does my monitor have like 2 wires that could go into the gpu not including the power cable
Hdmi and dp?
Different connectors
Idk whata dp is
Just use 1 lol
It wont help
It will just use what the monitor is set to use
So dp is better?
Ye
yes
Yes
Yep
G
Wat
Hi
what?
Hes building up suspense
wym
One of my pcs literally will not turn on
despite having its gpu and cpu
and ram
and everything
it turns on and the msi motherboard does not show any leds
Clear cmos lmao 😄
I did that
^
I took out the battery for 30 seconds
Did you unplug the PC from the wall?
^
No
you need to unplug pc and remove battery for 5 mins or so
Gotta do that
Ye
I was told not to do that
Ehm
do it
Ok doing it now
ide say do it
does cmos actually fix a lot of pc issues?
by who?!
someone on newegg
but it’s worth the shot
Wait should i be keeping on
wym
the battery method is universal right?
same difference
Same same
uh idk
I did 5 min
yes
Wait im a dumb duck
I forgot to plug my keyboard in
lmao
make sure everything is plugged in
can someone remind me when to put my battery back up
this is ur only problem tho
for what
bruh
Well the like frankfn, the motherboard has all the leds for the parts except for the gpu
But i was told to just clear cmos but it still doesnt work
I just realized how stupid I look with the name frankFn
Im not even a fortnite player
lol
status is even worse
Well ig my cousins bouta abduct the pc and take it to microcenter tmrw
Do i still need to worry abt it or nah
ok
lemme read i was doin sum
ok so what do u guys need help with rn
or u guys talkin ab fortnite
Still the monitor
For me
But the gpu led on my mobo isnt lighting up
Or its marked VGA
Wait
Nvm
wait nvm what
I saw the clip for mobo and psu was not fully connected
I put it back and booted up pc but it still didnt work
Its DOOMED
@odd abyss do u think i should just leave for microcenter to do
Mobo: prime z490A cpu: i7-10700k
On bootup it shows the logo then no signal
I just cleared cmos but still nothin
Aoc
Ahhhhh
For monitor
K, hang on
Right above the 24 pin PCI-E connector there are 4 LED's
Are any of those lit?
Yes
Cpu turns red
Then off then ram
Turns orange
do any of them stay on?
Ram
and not go off?
Stays on orange
wym
sorry i was outside
My cousin wants to take it to microcenter ok ima try removinbf ram
It boots?
Nice
Ok good
Now, when you say slot 2 and 4, you mean from the CPU left to right, empty, ram, empty, ram yeah?
Yeah
Yea
Hm okay but ill try downloading windows
then try again after you're done doing whatever
Do i do default or unlocked limits
What cpu cooler do you have
Uhh its the kraken x53
wat
My computer kamikazied my house
Boommm
Ty sm vintage racer
Howd u find the problem so fast??
There are some steps you just know to take and things to try
Normally boot options are F8 in the BIOS
F12 for gigabyte
Ah
I use delete but think the other one is f2 idm
Good to know, noted
Whats an efi shell
boot menu not bios
Ohh right
Is that the windows set up thing
Did you choose the UEFI one?
Did you choose the UEFI boot option?
Hmmm, kk
yea it should boot into windows and ask you a million questions
It started 😮 :DDD
all of them are them spying on u btw
say no to everything
yea
Usually emailed
How fast after buying
Ik but my cousin bought a key
So he got a key from microcenter
And i told him he could just get one from ebay
Idk if they allow for return since its not activated
And the key hasnt been scratched off
Paying full price for windows is a scam tbh
Yeah ok imma call them later
Ohh yeah mb
Depends on the seller, but I've gotten them anywhere from 5 minutes to 6 hours after buying.
Beware of scam listings on eBay
my guy trust me you can live without activating windows
Maybe i need internet for it to show up?
Reason: Bad word usage
How do i overclock a monitor
nvcp
Create a custom resolution profile in graphics settings
yea
you can disable windows update
so the watermark doesnt show up
I didn't bother activating my mining rig, but the inconveniences not having a $10 key presented made me take a key from an old windows 7 PC and use that one to activate
how now?
Wait so imma have to update drivers before the 144 hz pops up??
Cause its at 64 hz for the monitor and thats a cursed number for hz
In the nvidia control panel, change resolution, customize, change settings to desired values, and save it
I have an RX570
F
I think i need internet first lol
Yes the default driver won't work properly for advanced stuff
Ahh the low hz is killing meeee
Idk but its 64 hz and the box says 144
its safe
go to display settings
whenever i’m not playing my pc or on it should i turn off my power supply
what do u guys do
then advanced display settings
24/7/365
but that’s fine?
Need GPU drivers
isn’t hurting anything?
Ahhh ethernet cables not picking up the WIFIIII
been fine for as long as I"ve had PC's
Ahhhhhh
alright
what gpu u have @misty heron
lol
ethernet doesn't do WiFi what
error 404
lmao
"Overclocking your Monitor refresh rate is incredibly simple with the AMD Relive driver: buildapc" https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/5nabco/overclocking_your_monitor_refresh_rate_is/?utm_source=amp&utm_medium=&utm_content=post_body
Lmao imma pull it out my ass
also falcie
have a phone with hotspot and a USB cable?
ffffffffffffff
Cuz that can work too
Not really likely to kill it
😉
Uhhh usb cable?
I can download driver file n send it to you
Or get drivers from another PC and put tham on a USB drive
No internet rip
yea
so I can slap 90hz on a 75 panel and call it a day?
No other pcs
maybe
chat go brrrrr
it will go blakc if it doesnt work and after 15 sec will revert
Welp ig my cousins buying the wifi thing
pretty sure
does a normal mobo come with ethernet?
go to device manager
Test it for artifacts with blur busters tests, use Google Chrome preferably
you can connect ethernet
did u plug ur ethernet in XD
Yes
oh
Idk abt the other end but i hope my cousin did lol
seems fine
Which lights tho
Ethernet light
Green but no orange?
It says drivers not installed no compatible drivers
BUT I DONT HAVE THE INTERNET TO INSTALL IT
You need to connect your phone to it with a USB cable and share the connection
im getting griefed
Or get the drivers from another PC onto a thumb drive
yea
OR find a CDROM and use the motherboard disc but no one has those anymore
i clean windows installed and downloaded internet drivers onto a usb
Now turn on Hotspot
yea
usually in Internet settings
Give it a minute lol
Mmmm, you turned hotspot on yeah and via USB and not WiFIi?
😭😭
Sometimes there's a separate setting
SO unplug phone
bro apple is messed up
Network thing empty still
I cant hotspot to my pc
I have an iPhone, works just fine
oh
Read the bottom of their screen XD
no it works with ethernet on a pc with wifi
Bruh
my pc doesnt hv wifi and it doesnt work with it
its not working
acc
does ur laptop hv wifi
Yeah but I leave it off
You can literally share internet connections over USB
Trust
Yeah but its empty for me
ight
lmao
Welp gg ig
if he doesnt hv usb driver his mouse or kb should work
Its all doomed
do you have a pc near u
Nope
Mouse and KB acan use generic drivers
or laptop
don't need USB drivers for those
true
Nope 😢😢😢
I think you're up a creek unless you can get to another PC :/
oh that might be the problem for me i dont have usb driver lmao
and get the drivers
Welp ig i gotta come back here another day
just ask ur cousin if the other side of ethernet is plugged in
cuz my internet worked as i plugged in ethernet
Ok imma go see for myself
XD
Faxxx
It worked for his other pc
Round and round we go
But he returned that one
Well, that doesn't apply to all PC's
y you download drivers on ur usb with windows
im saying y you should downlaod the drivers for ethernet on your usb with windows
Oh ill just remove the windows
lmao
Umm how do i know which drivers to get
I'll get you links, brb
Ok ty
intel realtek or killer

usually intel on intel motherboards
All of those
?
Wdym all??
If you click them it should start the DL
you only need ethernet
Mmmmmm
unless you like input delay
go to device manager
I dont have wireless internet
and check which ethernet you have
😭
go to device manager
Ty 😄
Where it under
UH huh
under network
It ain't gonna say without the driver XD
and it should say realtek intel or killer something
@potent portal anything above 75hz throws up a out of range error on the monitor
IG thats a solid brick wall right there
I'll say this again
Ig im installing all of them
You don't know ethernet until you install the driver
lol
XD
Crap that sucks
oh yea lmao mb
Then your monitor doesn't work above 75Hz. It's probably an overclocked 60Hz panel already.
Aight, I'm out
Ok ty for all ur help 😀😀
cya @muted patio
Bye mate have a good one
Seems like it
is the atx_12v where i put the cpu cable?
eps 12v is another name for the cpu power cable
so yeah?
need clarification for what you're saying
atx_12v.. what, most of the power cables are ATX spec and 12v
Whatever it's labeled, top left of the motherboard is generally where CPU power goes
Is artic silver 5 thermal paste good?
I know i am currently using artic silver but I wanna get some good paste that wont cost 20 or 30 bucks
'better' thermal paste doesn't give you much more
cool
So that's three long flashes and 2 short? Let me check the code
Ripped straight from the HP support bulletin:
3.2 (blink)
Hardware
The embedded controller times out waiting for BIOS to return from memory initialization.
Reseat the memory. See the section Reseating memory modules in a notebook for more information.
If reseating the memory does not resolve the problem, try replacing the memory modules. You might also consider contacting support for repair due to a possible RAM or system board failure.
Well, thanks for that.
Its booting now, but its been very slow.
I don't think customer support would help since I have another 8gb if ram installed to make 16gb.
See if it works better with one stick, and double check they're both in correctly and that windows detects the full 16gb in task manager
I'll do that, I should probably stop running beamng in this thing lmao
Physics games use a lot of cpu power, which on a laptop means a lot of extra heat
Yeah..... and when my brother had this laptop last, he never really cared about it
So didn't care about how hot it was
And my dad says that thermal paste is "life lasting"
And yeah, it sees the 16 gb.
Eesh. I replace the HP stock paste the day I buy it. If you're lucky it lasts 2-3 years without thermal shutoff.
Well uh
This is about 5 years old now
And the only time its ever been opened was to put that extra stick of memory in there
Yeah and it might be going slow due to thermal throttling
And my dad would kill me if he saw me opening it..
I mean a friend of his from work have me about a year or two old laptop since it didn't work for me to take apart and see how it worked and what not, and the thermal paste was a literal rock
But yeah, thanks for the info.
TR is bad for gaming and very few modern games support multi gpu
yeah lol
Sli and a threadripper cuz why not😩
Then what shiuld i put
I can always take one out
Mine with one and game with the other
U know liek a day n nite shift
Well that would need to go in a mining rig then lol
You would not want 2 3090s in a case
The heat off the mem while mining is like 100c +
Nah dude
Basicly what ill do is switch between them
So that the mining one can die out while the gaming is preserved
And if a guy is crazy enougj and buys me four
Then frick it and ill play with sli
what
Yes
U domt get ut dont u
Ill PHYSACLY
Take one out
Mine with one
And game with the other
Well it just gave up.
🤦♂️
Doesn't even try to boot anymore.
Fantastic.
bro he said he wish he had it
that's a weird budget
hes poor
how is your budget 700-50
7 hundred to 7 hundred and 50
what's the use case/target fps?
he wants to video edit, record, and play just about any game with friends
doesnt need to be 60 frames on everything
any game 👀
bruh no way in hell you gonna record and play any game on an 750 laptop unless its esports or minecraft or something
Laptop is gonna run hella hot
thats fine
But what they want to record then?
just roblox, but he wants to be able to play other games with friends like GTA (not recording)
wait does anyone know if taking out the cmos is safe?
Yes
k
Clearing cmos is perfectly safe
https://www.newegg.com/black-msi-gf-series-gf63-thin-9scx-005-gaming-entertainment/p/N82E16834155354R if they don't mind open box
You can also look on dell Lenovo best buy etc
is there anything for a desktop
But that should give you a good baseline
I thought they wanted laptop no?
nah
its ok lol
no like taking the cmos out and not putting it in
again
The cmos battery?
yea
I mean it just won't remember your bios settings if you don't put it back in
oh
So xmp etc will turn off every time you disconnect pc from power
Ok yea this guys pc wasnt booting but he took out the cmos and it started working
wait does that mean there was somethin wrong with his bios settings?
Means they had a bad BIOS setting is all
https://www.newegg.com/p/3D5-001U-00031 lemme see what i can find on dell etc bte
wait so then if they put the cmos back in and flash the bios will it fix the problem?
Depends on what the issue was.
Setting the BIOS back to stock fixed something but impossible to know what
ok. thank you i appreciate the help

Hey guys I installed my m.2 and removed the plastic off the thermal pad
But than after couple hours I took out the m.2 so is the m.2 fine
Cause it was under the thermal pad
And cause I have to return the mobo something was wrong with it

what cpu
I'll bet you need to update BIOS first for 5000 series
Flash it
There was sor@thing wrong with the bracket
Also
Is the m.2 ok
Because I took the plastic off the thermal pad
SO you've already shipped out the board from this morning
And than took out the m.2 after 3 hrs
Nooo I went to micro center
I am just worried about the m.2
Also u just became a mod right
Can't test the m.2 until you get a new board
IDK, gotta test it
Just wait until you get your new board
How would ik if it works
After I test it
How would ik of everything works
All I did was mount 6 fans
Stop worrying about every little thing. Wait until you get your new board and see if there's any error lights
XD
Did you read the manual for your motherboard?
But you put it together without reading it
Imagine having debug leds. Y’all are lame😂
So how do you know it was defective if you didn't read the manual about ram slots, debug LED's and other things?
Ik how to put cpu
