pull the gpu out
I wasn't even 10 minutes into the english dub version of one punch man season 1... and even tho I had english subs on my 1st watch... the sub version was much better lol
well nevermind actually you know what
My ram looks completely normal i jostled and made sure they were secure
But these are real tiny screws that aren’t fingerable like the outside ones
what screws
The ones that hold the gpu
try the upper ones
I did
im assuming the lower ones just dont budge?
yooouuu could click them with something non conductive
like aaaa
idk
like a hammer? :3
I have fat fucking fingers
Even my pinky doesn’t fit to tap those ones
my mobo has two pci slots so my gpu is in my lower one lol
What i think happened is that the cpu and stuff around it may be suffering
try turning it on then and check the temp
Because i think my backfan went the way of the front ones and died, or at least it feels like only power supply and gpu fans works
And the backfan has tubes leading to the cpu
I really think i just need to order thermal paste and touch up my cpu
you probably should but i highly doubt that the change would be that drastic overnight lol
check the temps........
Yea but i dont know what else it would be
Gpu and ram feel fine and secure
Power supply feels fine
CPU is just hot
unless something actually died and you cpu is throttling then ig
Ill set it back up
well you know hot is relative
check your mailbox
this?
Welcome to LeaveTide, feel free to leave when you go down, I know you aren't strong enough to last for the respawn timer
there's the text
Well
man
if i die i just shrug and sip soda or whatever and chillax not my fight anymore
Like
Yeah, I was around when you were talking about it
and by it you mean
i recommend consulting a mechanius tech priest.
The inside lights
no then it wouldn't boot initially
Does it make any sounds?
double check that the ram is inserted firmly in there
for now
assuming it was the only thing you touched
The ram is very much inserted but i will test again
You could try testing different ram slots or cleaning it
thanks breastie
So the white slots?
wouldn't matter they're marked like that so you'll see which ones are dual channel
yes
Oh okay
just for ease of use
If you have two sticks of ram, could also try inserting just one for testing
Rotund Tiberon's machine spirit is angy.
mhm
What did you do?
Ram slots
now check the temps
And pc running as normal
like
normal normal
Same speed
open task manager
2/10
before before or before after
so all is well
@hard nexus @stoic thunder
When i was playing poe2
poe2.....
Also fun fact
After scrapping my fingers
The bottom parts of the ram holders
Don’t disengage like the top ones
yeah that's normal
Where check temps
Sounds like an issue I had some time ago. I fixed it by simply cleaning my ram. Try cleaning your ram with rubbing alcohol. You could also use an eraser, just make sure to not leave ANY particles behind.
i hope its amd
Nvidia but cpu is intel
But if it works now might be best to not touch anything unless problems come back
I don’t consent
No touching that’s bumpy weird
or idk tbh intel should have a cpu software thing
Oh wait come back I want a hug
Im having the best day for technical errors
why is this gif getting progressively more evil
I miss you
Wire-0048105447
My mini fridge was pregnant and gave birth to a baseball sized piece of ice
That’s me
And i just realized i panicked and threw it into my water bottle
intel has intel xtu
I prob dhouldn’t drink it
Okay i swear to fuck
consume the fridge child
these kinda system spec apps always have horrible UIs
Did razer asking for a restart for my headphone software send me back to square one
I fucking hope not
HWinfo is pretty straightforward for monitoring purposes
or that
Okay no it’s back to normal fuck razer btw
I had to buy new hardware today and i saw razr mouses going for $140 what can that mouse do thats worth that much?!
for not making me use 3rd party software
My babies are born and placed on windows xp
This cat ear headset was a gift (they shouldve just called me the f slur)
im sorry, am i reading that right? that you have a threadripper cpu? Arent those like stupid expensive
masquerade violation
lol
wdym by set your pc back? like factory reset it?
It’s not as slow as it was when i first set it up here
No like
Slow as balls again
Not as bad i can use the windows bar and open task manager at least
But wtf
holy shit how bad are we talking
could be software related
have you booted into bios and checked to make sure everything is being detected and used properly?
Im trying
is your OS on a SSD/HDD or M.Dot?
Came that way
nvm I’m mixing up the two Ds
HDD and smaller SSD,
if you cant even get into bios it makes me think something is wrong with the OS or Mobo, are you spamming delete when its booting? it might be booting so fast you miss the window
Yes
damn it packin
boot into safe mode
My cpu is at 5%
my best guess is CPU or RAM since it seems to be having trouble processing
no thinking good
Memory at 35% and discord and anti malware service executable are taking up most that
Disk usage literally the bare minimum, a few mbs from anti malware service
honestly i only have a basic understanding of computers, enough to usually be able to diagnose my own problems at least im spitballing and making educated guesses most of the time
Hold the Shift key while clicking Restart from the Shut down or sign out menu. Select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings >Restart. After the PC restarts, there is a list of options. Select 4 or F4 or Fn+F4 (following the on-screen instructions) to start the PC in Safe Mode.
still easier to check if an update fucked everything up before going back to fiddling with ram
honest cause i tried looking it up earlier and couldnt find it when my monitor was dying and causing my mouse and keyboard to not be detected for some reason, is there a way to boot into safe mode without the keyboard or mouse?
So glad windows has such a fancy ui
Did this
not that i know of, but those two sound like unrelated reasons
Will update later
I mean once i connected a different tv it started detecting the keyboard and mouse again, and then right after that my screen went fucky and wouldnt go back to normal
Please wait 🙂
soooo i dont fucking know
no they are also connected to the mobo
Dude this shit was powering through poe2 literally last night
cmd > chkdsk /r > go make a snack
monitor is connected to gpu, I went and bought a new monitor and its all working fine now
IKR
makes no sense to me either
YOU
you need a mouse at least
HOW DARE YE BE ANOTHER WOLF IN DIS STREET
issue solved i guess?
What the fuck was this shift restart shit
not trying to make this about me just trying to relate, this guy needs help
it doesnt reset your pc
it just boots it into safe mode it doesnt reset
it boots you into safe mode
yeah
i mean says other options right there
last time i booted into safe mode was on win 7 lmao
its in troubleshoot afaik
@fleet zealot did you run sfc /scannow (as admin in command console)
wheres vid
Holy shit how am i supposed to know any if this
i demand petting vids
the windows install itself could also be potentially corrupted
Hey did you do X
listen
the same way i did, by having these problems and having to fix them
what vid
My pc broken
ohg
i am offering advice
i do nort have one
startup settings
take it or leave it
startup settings
damn
so the answer is no
Where do i do that, specifically
command prompt
its literally things you can do to help fix your computer when its running weird
it says startup settings
Give clear advice and stop distracting me from bladewolf
same place as doing chkdsk
i mean asking for help in a high traffic channel is also just silly
Yes i found it
one thing at a time
And where is that smartass
i already told you
lmao
selective reading
It will now restart your pc into safe mode
its high traffic and bandit is tense cause their computer is being fucky, its normal for them to have missed something
Safe mode with command prompt pressed
Oh wow it’s almost like i was in a state where i couldnt do that
And the others were helping me get there
Just please let the people who can actually walk through something teach me
ok google do you job
You’re like the worst teachers i had at school
they are doing the same shit i am
Okay it is loading in safemode with command prompt
it is all just troubleshooting
I have gabrath blocked
We're more like classmates telling you to try 20 different things
ok so in command prompt you just type "sfc /scannow" without the quotations
this
you just gotta have the patience for it, old people do this exact same thing at my job all day
So if they give good advice someone else needs to say it
it will just check windows installation & see if anything's corrupted
or out of place
that is my main guess
i dont feel like you needed to block them they were just trying to help, just were a little ahead of where we are
Im trying to have patience but im listening and following one person step by step and some person at step 25 is telling me im stupid for not doing it already
please just ask someone to dm you instructions
you could have done sfc /scannow without even entering safemode
I dont remember them calling you stupid and yea Just do it in DMs
you are actively making it more diffucult for yourself putting it here where people actively fuck with each other for fun
That's how troubleshooting goes lmao, gotta try a bunch of shit and you never know what will work
true
me when computer
Booted in safemode with command prompt open
:3 real...
does the pc feel like it runs well
you should probably catch it then
It’s responding as normal
okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk cool
Nothing seems to be laggy here
Could also do sfc /scannow
What commands should i be doing to check
bricked hard Drive
Won't hurt
thats a good sign that its not a SERIOUS issue
As someone was saying
if you came into my job we would have charged you 90 dollars for that
Where space?
reopen cmd with adm rights
did you put the space between sfc and the / command prompt is very specific and picky
Okay
also that
True
wait
anyone with a working pc wanna play darktide
Gives me time to burn off steam and eat some sour candy
its scanning your registry files and shit for errors
you were getting pretty heated earlier
Like idk bro “that’s what you expect when you ask for advice in a chatroom of people who know more about computers than you and ill prove it by orbiting the convo”
i dont blame you its annoying to have 5 different people telling you to do things
I mean only two people
Legitimately bothered me
Continuously
And i see neither now because i choose to take the simply route and not engage further
It’s already in admin
hey man, i like to ask other people for help, it lets them feel useful and i might learn some cool little tidbits google wouldnt tell me
And the scan is going
Google is full of ai shit and sometimes reddit stuff can be irrelevant and misleading
And it isn’t personal step by step
A lot of mmo tech speak where they already assume you bdosed your ram into your cpu /joking
but yeah we get like 20 people a day with the same exact issue and i try to throw em a bone and literally show them on google how to fix it
but they'd rather pay
more money than sense...
im gonna assume you've overclocked your PCIE ports already so now you're gonna reboot your MOBO to get it detect the new USB settings, then we're gonna get MSI afterburner to further Overclock the CPU.
i feel like alot of people are scared to open up their pc and do it th emselves
i mean what steps in life did you take where you managed to find the darktide discord (reddit) and not know what any of those mean
make sure you're on tile and not wearing any conductive clothing
you don't need to open your pc to open command prompt 😭
or some other material thats not gonna conduct static or have alot of dust/fuzz
I had a classmate that failed the computer assembly live quiz by dropping a magnetic screwdriver on the motherboard
On accident
i assumed you worked at a hardware/pc fix place
i did but we also have software issues 99% of the day
But still
the only thing id ever bring a PC into a shop for is to diagnose a REALLY bad hardware issue so ican then go and get what i need to fix it myself
like get a new MOBO if its that bad
well it's probably because you have critical thinking skills
did you overclock your case for maximum performance?
i actually have a prebuilt
im flattered you think so
car problems on the other hand, I have no idea how to fix and im going to a mechanic everytime
if you can fix something yourself you're smarter than 50% of the popularion
i'm a mechanic
car, plane, pc
i gotchu
The really funny thing is parts used to be color coded
i literally turn my brain off and smoke copius amounts of weed so I don't cave my head in at the people i have to interact with on a daily basis
unironically though
Like it used to take an actual monkey to fuck up putting a PC together
Now everything is black, so even though it still only fits where it's supposed to
Monkey can MAKE things fit where they aren't
yeah and then they would look like a 5 year old colored it with crayons
absolutely horrifying
Nothing like finding the answer to your question on a dead forum marked 12 years ago
Which leads to getting that call from a friend "hey can you help me put my computer together"
if it doesnt go in with a small amount of force it was not meant to go into that port
now it might take a moderate amount of force to snap in
At this point i am scared that it could just be a power issue
you think i know how to read?!
Cause the top socket doesnt work on the outlet
change the outlet
So the bottom one has a grounding removed power strip
is there another outlet you can test it on?
When installing PC parts, it's literally impossible to fit something somewhere where it's not supposed to be. Thing is mostly fool proof. But people are not fools, they have HAMMERS to ignore the proofs
There isn’t
I literally heard of people doing this shit
There is one outlet set in this room
So SoL
This is why the AdMech believe in machine spirits
do people not realize that these things are delicate
waCK
My bedroom
only 1 outlet in the whole bedroom?
To be fair, putting the processor in is horrifying even when you know what you're doing
whats up with chkdsk or whatever it was that you were running
And a bathroom but no it’s not getting set up there
Yea
Pressing the lever down the first time always sounds like you're causing $600 worth of damage
They really want this gpu to be IN THIS SLOT, IF IT DOESN'T FIT, I WILL MAKE IT FIT
I had a friend that has done it before do it for me cause yea one bent pin and you're fucked
it's so hard to actually bend pins
its mental, they dont look hard to fuck up
moving is good for you
No it’s not
Military?
Assisted living for disability
Ah
Installing a Intel 10th or 11th gen CPU is easy but make sure to not mess up as it can break your motherboard pins.
Here's the CPU I am using https://amzn.to/3kMKsko

#lga1200 #intel #cp...
I love how this dude is like
"yeah youre gonna hear a lot of cracking, it's cringe"
who would even
"dont worry about it"
They tried really hard selling the move to me when i already said yea
Cause the lady i swapped with couldn’t do the steps at this location
let me do everything wrong possible
Unironically this is what people do
make sure you never remove any stickers off your pc
Yes
i really hope these are all cheap parts and its not some rich asshole breaking valuable shit for laughs
This kills the machine spirit 
it really is a scary ass sound
That's why tech priests exist
make sure to clean your hardware!
Dirty mother getting cleaned
afaik without the brush this is actually okay as long as its completely dry before you put it in again
And it going back to square one
you should use distilled water
^
Razer bloatware. Hate it
ehhh soap and water will probably oxidize components
or alcohol
The soap is uh, the kicker there
Me to
I hope all that is alcohol
I know it isn’t 
Because any potential residue is what's going to cause issues
Isn’t there like special “water” for electronics
like this
Idk if it’s really water
there are pc builds where the entire inside of the case is water
Do ferrets shed? Pet hair and stuff gunks up computers like no one's business.
and i think its sick
Think there's a video of someone literally running a PC in a pond of distilled water
could be multiple things
I do not own ferrets
mineral oils, distilled water
oh wow its poseidons battlestation
if i was rich im getting a mineral water cooled pc
it's gonna be heavy as fuck
my old PC the cooling was held in with zipties so I can't talk
it doesnt have to move
I legit thought a majority of those ferret pics were your own 
my brother actually had a thing back in college where he showed off oil cooled PCs
like it was just a series of motherboards in the stuff
putting it back together
well y'see if i have one of these pcs im rich enough to not care anyway
That reminds me of an old Nile Red video. You should get a diamond water cooled pc
Alright im going to watch youtuve videos and come back when scannow is done
It’s 45% rn
you'd need either a second pc
good luck and godspeed
or wait until the new one is delivered
hoping nothing bad happens
id just go play my ps5 pro and chill on my top of the line phone
It will fix itself, then nvidia will tell me i need to restart
But dear god I can feel my power bill rising just hearing the fans
And the cycle will continue
me omw to ferret's house with this outlet analyzing device
I should also add on
While the top socket doesn’t work
some outlets actually have gremlins living in them that give you candy
The bottom socket is extra sparkly
i am now buzzed its dark, and im booting up outlast 2, im ready to get scared
Hence my,
What is csword mk13's rotation vs elite?
maybe it is maybe it isnt
Worry about my roommate removing the grounding
you said you live in an assisted living facility? have you told them about the outlet? they should fix it
Lol
You think they fix shit
oh shitty
The csword mk13's heavy feels so weak
literal fire hazard
mk13 fucking sucks next question
and they wont fix it
My old room had a dead outlet set
thats like a lawsuit waiting to happen
The csword mk13 absolutely dumpsters hordes but my god I'm trying to figure out the optimal way to deal with elites using it
i want to say something but i dont wanna get political
i am outraged at our current situation
that is all im going to say
jfc thats a hazard on multiple levels
I mean same with my old apartment when i was living normally
Black mold, oven that didn’t cook shit properly and made you dizzy and nauseous if you had it on, and the funny lightswitch you avoid cause it likes zapping you
There is a "bare minimum" but getting it enforced? Good luck
Especially if you're poor enough to be living in an apartment in the first place
Lost my shit yesterday because the fat fuck downstairs almost broke the washer
are you allowed to do it yourself at least? like fuck dude
tbf electric work is dangerous
and you shouldnt do it yourself
The people working and personally in charge at location tend to be broke as well
Had to explain "This Boston company doesnt give a fuck about us. Go next door to building 9 and see how small their washer is. That's what they'll replace ours with, and they'll still charge us $2 per fucking wash load"
So please
Dont break our shit
I guess im lucky and i live in government subsidized apartments (wonder how much longer thats going to last) they have to fix shit
Grown ass adults who dont know how to do laundry
I HATE THE FLOOR
or my maintenance guy is just cool
Like if it’s a power issue i can piss and moan but
one or the other
And they have a SECOND child on the way
I legit had plans to start some dnd with friends so that can be out the window
They live below me and I've truckslapped the floor to shut up their little yipper dog
luckily the worst thing my neighbours do is play music loud when they shower at 9-10 am
otherwise the worst i hear is occasional stepping around
This cunt
I just googled small black dog with pointy ears
This dog does not shut the fuck up when they leave
And they leave right before I get up for work
dude my neighbors dog
aw he's lonely
took a shit by my front door
He deserves to die
I have never got any notices but i hope my cat isnt super noisy when im not home
and its also a small yipper dog
If you move into an apartment
sometimes she gets very loud and meowy
And your dog is a little yipper cunt that doesnt shut the fuck up
You should be shot
what is blood talking about
what are they supposed to do? sometimes a pet is all someone has
why is the skaven taking a poo poo in his front door
Im calling the nearest ATF officer to come deal with the little cunt
do the neight bour
Leave the TV on? Do something
smh
The dog is not anybody else's problem to deal with when you leave
Children have an excuse, they dont know any better
woah hey I don't shit in front of my own front door tyvm
If you dog barks when you get home because he's happy to see you that's totally fine
Is chubby pirahna's servers back up?
If he barks when he gets excited playing, that's totally fine
If he turns into a neurotic mess the moment you walk out the door
you said you just did
smh
You are a terrible person for leaving everyone else to deal with that
And you do not deserve a dog
no
scroll up man, me are innocent
yeah thats all pooper say
nect time
do it infront of your neighboor house
at midnight
Take bigger, smellier, shits in front of the doghouse to assert dominance
Eat takis
I should clarify I live in an apartment complex
taco bell
doesn't exist in my country
Red meat and dairy
you are a skaven?????/
already got that covered
Okay, I will put that on your character sheet. I love new pokemon. :3
Dairy, Red Meat, Eggs, and 🅱️eans
just like
Im crafty
stealth it out?
make a doo doo catapult
How fucked am i
fairly
300%
In terms of fixing it on a 0$ budget
whats happening?
Its still scanning but tldr
I work in tech support so this is my job lmao
Moved
correction: 3000%
me me fart-expell stinky gas-smell in dog-mutts hole-home
And slow responsive
im working on my skaven speak
recorrection: 9000% @fleet zealot
Even task manager and windows bar
that's how screwed you are
If mobo is truly problem, it's like your nervous system deciding to stop working. Pretty fucked
USUALLY it's something else
Like PSU, CPU, RAM, GPU
have you tried reseating the RAM?
Which slots did you put the ram in?
But then i restarted cause of razer headset bloatware
Are they in 1-3 or 2-4 or do you just have them next to eachother?
Moved them to the 2 empty ram slots
1 and 3
Holy fuck bandit you are really fucked if you have a $0 budget
Okay good
why are they designed this way?
why NOT next to each other
And i went back to square one
actually wait i tought about it, gotta have grip room
when you open task manager whats the performance like?
what grip room
Im just confused why it worked when i moved ram
and whats scannoe saying?
And why it stopped working
so you can pull it out easy if you have to
if they are next to each other it becomes more annoying
could be the RAM is damaged?
)
Putting them on 1-3 or 2-4 allows each stick to get a separate bus to ask Mommy Processor for resources
Can your pc even run worth a shit?
If they were next to eachtother, they'd have to share a bus
I mena
SSD or HDD?
thank you for explaining it in ways my rotted brain can understand
I was played poe2 on low and at 50% rendering
OS is on SSD
cause it sounds bad from my point of view... and I have 0 knowledge on tech related stuff
also
we'll see what scannow says
Yes
Don't feel bad, even I need most things explained on that level or I'll just go "okay cool, that's how that works ig"
so it probably isnt shit updating and fucking your system over
if it was itd clear up after some time anyway
yeah probably the next step after troubleshooting all this then you are probably gonna need to test the ram sticks separately
OS is on SSD, so it could be failing if its old, could also be the RAM, mightve gotten damaged in transport
lastly, when I hear slowness I always think viruses
but what if mommy processor is a tsundere?
or whichever one is the worse one
inclined to believe that software isn't the case
First boot, then the ram change, 2nd boot, weird flickering and lights flashing on and off weirdly, rechecked power connections, boot 2.5 worked
cause there was nothing done inbetween bots before and after moving
System worked as normal
Then you have an Intel 13th gen CPU
weird flickering of what?
work => shake the pc a bit => no work
Played around for a few minutes
The inside lights
Hi, I have a 14700k and it's a very angry woman
They’d flick on and off
yeahh thats not software then
the second boot was the case of not inserting it correctly i assume
can you identify what the lights were/mean?
I feel like I dodged a bullet, based on that info... when I got this pc lol
Ahh the good sister
Restarted cause razer bloatware told me to
PC was fast then
Problems started again
then they restarted the PC later and it started again
All I know is it was a massive upgrade from my previous pc and has worked perfectly since I've gotten it
real
one of my homies on the west coast sent me their old 3900x
such a gamechanger for me lmao
and my previous pc was an insanely massive upgrade from the one I had before it...
I hate to just throw another piece of bullshit internet advice but I was having weird issues where I had to underclock my CPU or certain games would bluescreen my PC until I did a BIOS update
(they also gave me a new PSU)
Im thinking it has to be one of those 3
RAM, SSD, then mobo maybe
nahhhhhh
Thankfully MSI boards have a goated BIOS these days so I just plopped a flash drive in, threw the update on it, and updated from BIOS like that
Power light and gpu light
Flicking on and off
I am curious what the lights flashing were for though
i'd doubt it's mobo unless one of the traces somehow got cracked
With a clicking noise
huh
I couldn't even run dark souls 2 scholar of the first sin on the pc I had, 2 pcs ago
just a regular boot that goes nowhere cause ram wasn't inserted correctly so it just flashes all the rgb shit
Is that just angry machine spirit things
then turns off
So it could be power?
true, I am assuming this is an older PC
GPU light flashing is a voltage thing I'm pretty sure
because modern pcs dont have a speaker lmao
Cause that’s what i thought initially
yeah I was gonna say lol
Older nvidia1070 rig yes
it could be the PSU, but if it was itd be shutting down, not slowing down
anything in the last like 15 years doesn't have a built in speaker to the motherboard
unless it's a macbook
I don't know shit about pcs, but, clicking noises from a pc sounds bad
does your PC feel hot?
If both lights are flashing and you're getting flickering and slowdown, that sounds like when my buddy's power supply died
What if not psu
But my actual power
Thankfully that is the cheapest replacement
Im getting from the socket
hm then again if it was overheating itd also be shuttimg down
like my pc sounds like its working hard sometimes, but, I've never gotten clicking noises from any of my pcs
not necessarily
Weird question but like
it could be throttling
Do you have a multimeter or anything on hand?
Because the outlets are what scared me
but we didnt get to see the temps
What dat
also cpu was at no load
and the pc I had 2 pcs ago wasn't even a gaming pc
shouldn't matter - if your PC started drawing too much power itd shut down anyways from what I understand
well they blocked me for some headassed reason so someone ask them when the last time they replaced their thermal paste was
Too little
Tool that can measure the amount of juice going through stuff
Okay
clicking would likely be from a fan
so we don't know the temps
again, insufficient power means itd shut down or not power on at all
I've never had clicking out of any of these 3 pcs(this one and the 2 before it)
boot normally
I've had some weird sounds, iirc... but never clicking
other than caxe what meta melee for zealot again?
i can think of prob cknife.
But others?
do a normal boot
called it
btw when doing scannow
the fact it detected corrupted files and fixed them is a good sign
it might be fixed
what was the arg, /f?
watch it be some unrelated shit
theres an arg to make scannow automatically fix
It just blue screened
iirc we just told them to do sfc /scannow
no specific arguments
take a pic
On the cmd prompt screen
what's the error code
yeah but scannow has some argd that work
what if it fixed them by making more files corrupted? (this is a question from the paranoid side in me lol)
also error code of bsod
it already says it fixed it (apparently)
oh God... I hope my more paranoid side was wrong...
Guys did my machine spirit get corrupted
uhh, try again?
You can try removing the GPU and doing non-game stuff without it to see if the 'slowness' is already there(with stuff plugged in directly to motherboard. PSU is also a possibility.
that means hardware failure
no igpu
they don't have integrated gpu
That's what killed my last pc iirc
It’s still at 0%

my assumption is that it's either the ram or the cpu isn't getting properly cooled
im afraid to shut it down
My vote is your power supply
I've had two buddies have them fail, although one of them was...spontaneous
Id say CPU
Like there was a spark, a flash, and smoke
I honestly think it may be my weird outlet
though it could also be RAM
This is something that scares me no matter whether it happens to my pc or any other electronic device I have...
Okay
try a different one then
im betting on ram or the shitty outlet
I havent kept up with the whole chronicle though so I'd defer to others who've spent more time with this problem
It shut iself down
tbh
yes, that is a capacitor that explodes
ok before you do anything
they can do that
voltage fluctuations are bad shit
Can i flip
It was the capacitor yeah lol
I've had one die back in the day and stole a new one from one of the school computers because I took CIS
tbh you can technically fix that yourself by soldering a replacement capacitor on there but
@fleet zealot idk shit about pcs, but, all I can say is: You might want to take it to an expert at this point(idk if I am right about this tho or not)
do not tell people to fuck with power supplies
ever
then wait 15 seconds yes
i unplug and turn it off
because lingering charge can remain in the motherboard
Kill the power, pull the plug, flip the switch
people fucking with PSUs is how hobbyists kill themselves
Always ground yourself by just touching a metal part of the PC that isn't the sensitive expensive bits
hence the 'but'
Just in case of static from kneesocks
another theory that couldve happened is a power surge that fucked smth up
Lmfao
This shit is so true actually
It can happen
they were mine
you said you heard clicking, where was it coming from, could you tell?
there's so much different shit factors in action
I zap myself on metal every fucking day
power surge would likely hit the power supply
Touching my doorknob
Wouldn't you want an expert to look at it, to help determine this tho?
new outlet, ram
man i used to when playing overwatch 1 during the winter would start zapping my mouse every time andd it would shut off
i'd have to unplug and replug it back in every time
true, taking it to a repair shop is best, but I work in tech support so yeah lol
ok where are you now and what are you doing
because apparently my electrokinesis powers were too strong for overwatch
remove one of your ram sticks
We need a smyker
I was just asking since I am coming from a place of ignorance on the subject and from what everyone is saying... it doesn't sound good
well or that
they mentioned the PSU and GPU light was flickering and there was a clunking sound, its not out of the realm of possibilities
I wanted to say, my pc still has it’s grounding on the power cord
This... this is bad...
So i can’t swap besides a different spot on the power strip
Dark times ahead, rejects
up till the BSOD with the WHEA error i figured it was a simple problem if this was me at this point, id be taking it into a shop
ok i wanna say clunking would 100% be the power supply though, that sounds like what might happen for a transformer donig weird things
i'd still check if the ram sticks are good
i thought they said clicking noise
not clunking
clunking would be transformer tho ya
a tech shop though would be able to, at the very least, try it with another power supply to check if that's the case
I might be wrong yeah lemme see
and if their transformer is clunking they need to turn that shit off asap
Any chance you have a Microcenter nearby?
or just correct me lol
the place that gives me internet has a "geek squad" kinda thing that I can take my pc to. That's how I figured out one of my hardware components in my last pc was dead
It's literally to Best Buy what Target is to Walmart
