No. A Power outage can be detrimental. So if your install is borked there isn't anything you can do to save it bro.

It's best to keep truly important files on a separate drive or back them up in the cloud rather than the same drive as your OS.

tall sonnet I was told that it will wipe all my data

not exactly.

if you reinstall windows WITHOUT wiping the drive, the installer will detect your old windows and will rename it “windows.old” before it proceeds with the install. the issue is there are still certain things outside of “windows” that might not survive.

U can do what 8th said I do it a lot to recover files u can also buy an external enclosure for the drive too and then recover files that way to another pc

tall sonnet Sep 22, 2024, 4:41 PM

My other pc that is super slow can't even hold all those files. It's just too much of a hassle. I really didn't have anything important but this teaches me a lesson to store backups.

if you live near a library that’s open on weekends, should be a good option

#

mc might help you out as well, depending on who you speak to

#

side note about the library, more and more of them won’t allow downloads anymore but some if not majority still do. the 3 closest ones to me all do since they run deepfreeze software

tall sonnet Sep 22, 2024, 5:07 PM

What you were saying is there an option listed while doing this to not wipe it?

digital stag Sep 22, 2024, 5:16 PM

Yes exactly

It installs a new system and puts all your stuff in windows old folder so I can go back and copy it into new system

theres a chance the usb wasnt setup all the way, when you made the disc image on it did you put the download on the usb then open and run the installer?

hmmm, that computer may not have the requirements to run windows 11. so A is you could go into settings, see what it needs and fix it or B. install windows 10 boot media and upgrade it to windows 11 after installing

#

if your pc that is bluescreened was already windows 11 then option b would likely force you to wipe it

yeah most likely is when the gpu had a power spike it blew the psu's protection which was already hurt from the power outage

#

psu is most likely dead

#

your drives do work so far, likely the memory and motherboard are fine

#

if anything the next step would be to replace the psu

#

if you arent comfortable with replacing it yourself you could try having micro center do it

#

if its still broken at that point then cpu/gpu/mobo is broken and would need replaces aswell

Im just hoping that last surge didnt kill anything else

undo what you did. this means unplugging the cable you just plugged in.
test if pc turns on. if not, keep going
unplug everything from the back of the pc EXCEPT the power cable and the hdmi/dp cable for the monitor.
test it pc turns on. if not, recheck all the cables, especially the PSU cables. if possible, unplug and replug them back. check the front panel connections as well (bottom right of the board) that controls the case’ power button
test again. if still no luck, you most likely fried something. start praying it’s not something major, hopefully just the PSU.

#

if you were successful after step 3, DONT plug in everything right away. plug in one item at a time and keep doing it until the issue happens again or until everything is connected. the reason for this is so you’ll be able to narrow down the cause and be able to avoid it.

its weird your replacement psu wont do anything

maybe it roasted the motherboard too

well if a new psu isnt powering on anything that usually sais board

most are 3 years for mobo warenty some longer depends what 1 u got

if it turns on then back off again relly fast try taking out the ram and see if the borad will stay on

same thing with gpu

if the board will stay on but with an error code when u remove either 1 that part is usually bad or shorting

digital stag Oct 26, 2024, 3:48 PM

#

Towers are almost never an issue unless some cable has bare wires on it or the buttons got liquid in them

tall sonnet Oct 29, 2024, 1:15 PM

#

Upon reviewing the RMA, it shows that the technicians were not able to replicate the issue. They stated that all functions on the unit were normal and the motherboard turns on and off normally. A 1 hour burn in test was done as well as updating the BIOS to the current version. It was also stated that the motherboard temperature is one of normal (41C) and POST was normal during testing

@tall sonnet can you show us how you plugged in the front panel wires again?

#

im wondering if you are still confused on where they go

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 8:30 PM

I have it where the PSU turns on

you have those plugged in the wrong pins

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 8:32 PM

I can't find in the manual where to plug them in

#

I followed the text on the mobo

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 8:32 PM

wait i looked at irt wrong

the image you were shown above of the pin out is all you needed, it;s standardized for the most part

I can show you over stream

dont need to show me over stream

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 8:34 PM

I touch the power sw wire when the PSU is on and it turns off

#

It's like the wires are faulty

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 8:34 PM

#

sounds like a grounding issue

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 8:34 PM

#

Shouldn't the mobo still turn on tho?

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 8:34 PM

#

no

#

because if there is a short caused by something, it will trip the power supplies protection to stop anything getting damage

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 8:35 PM

#

Maybe I'll just get a new case.

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 8:36 PM

#

you wont like what im going to suggest, but you probably need to take the motherboard out and check all the mounting stand offs are in the correct positions for the screw holes on the motherboard and there are no extras

#

there is also a chance that your i/o shield has some metal touching inside of ports on the motherboard

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 8:37 PM

#

I just put it in yesterday. I lost a screw to my cooler so now only 3/4 screws hold it in

#

I'm so annoyed I don't know how to do any of this and people want 150$ to put it together

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 8:37 PM

#

ok well that doesnt matter if the system doesnt turn on but once you get it working again you need to find that screw and not use the pc until it's all 4 screwed in

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 8:38 PM

#

tall sonnet I'm so annoyed I don't know how to do any of this and people want 150$ to put it...

what i suggested above may be your fix

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 8:38 PM

#

It won't turn on anyways so it won't be

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 8:38 PM

#

if you had extra screw mount stand offs for the motherboard, it can or will cause the motherboard to short when turned on

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 8:38 PM

#

The only thing I had plugged in was the mobo

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 8:38 PM

if they touch the motherboard i mean

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 8:38 PM

no forget that cooler

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 8:39 PM

I don't know anything about computers

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 8:39 PM

#

where you screw the motherboard to the case

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 8:39 PM

#

I shoulda just bought a prebuilt

#

I have 2 screws holding it in

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 8:39 PM

#

take the motherboard out

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 8:40 PM

#

The guy that built it I guess didn't put more in

#

Pulling it out

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 8:40 PM

#

check all the stand offs you screw the motherboard down are in the correct screw hole positions for the motherboard

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 8:40 PM

#

I put in an extra screw that doesn't belong

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 8:41 PM

#

if all the stand offs are correct, take out the metal i/o shield where all the motherboard ports are in the back

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 8:41 PM

#

tall sonnet I put in an extra screw that doesn't belong

how do you mean?

#

screws dont go in unless they have a threaded hole to screw into

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 8:41 PM

#

#

This screw is not the screw that belongs

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 8:41 PM

#

that shouldnt matter as long as it screwed in

#

also

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 8:42 PM

#

I'm pulling it all apart. Gimmi 2 min

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 8:42 PM

if it did screw it, make sure it's not bending the board

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 8:44 PM

#

Now I can't get that off

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 8:47 PM

do you have pliers?

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 8:48 PM

I'll try and find

Bench test that mobo once u get that standoff removed

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 8:54 PM

#

If I knew how to do any of that

#

ASUS did that when I sent it to them

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 8:56 PM

#

basically just means setting it up outside the case with the basic required hardware to make sure the board boots

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 8:56 PM

#

Got it out

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 8:56 PM

#

a lot of people will just put it on the board the motherboard comes in

#

if you do that, dont plug in the gpu, you only need to make sure the board will start the fans

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 8:57 PM

#

tall sonnet Got it out

ok so now check the motherboard mounting stand offs

#

check the spacing

#

make sure they line up to the holes on the motherboard

#

you should only need up to 6 screws for an matx board

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 8:58 PM

#

I had 2 screws holding it in

#

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 8:59 PM

#

which 2?

#

like what positions?

#

you really want minimum 4

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 8:59 PM

#

Top right bottom left

#

I don't have any more of the screws

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 9:00 PM

and you said someone built this for you?

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 9:00 PM

#

Yes

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 9:00 PM

#

Facepalm

#

dont let them build for you ever again

#

you need more screws

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 9:00 PM

#

I'll pull off my old pc

digital stag Nov 4, 2024, 9:01 PM

#

Yeah a few more screws would be great it might even be part of the grounding issue

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 9:01 PM

#

Hard part is finding screws to fit the damn thing

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 9:01 PM

#

well

#

they're either metric m3 screws

#

or non metric 6-32

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 9:02 PM

#

I'm taking some off my old pc

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 9:02 PM

#

m3 is the finer threads

#

usually used on floppy drives or optical drives

#

sometimes used for motherboard stand offs

#

those stand offs are probably 6-32

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 9:03 PM

#

Okay I got 2 extra

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 9:03 PM

#

put one in the top left and right of the cpu and bottom left right of cpu

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 9:03 PM

Looks the same. One way to find out

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 9:05 PM

#

brb need to take out some trash and get mail

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 9:07 PM

#

Same problem. The backing of the silver thing keeps coming out. Screw is too tight

#

Anyone live in Colorado 😂

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 9:10 PM

#

silver thing?

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 9:14 PM

#

What I pulled out the first time with pliers

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 9:15 PM

#

do you mean where you screwed in that extra screw?

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 9:15 PM

#

Yes

#

The new screws get stuck in it again

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 9:15 PM

#

if it's getting stuck, it's the wrong type of screw

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 9:15 PM

#

So it's the wrong type

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 9:16 PM

#

it may be m3 screws you need and you're using 6-32

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 9:16 PM

#

I don't have any

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 9:16 PM

#

can you show me a picture of the screw threads and the inside of the stand off (silver thingy)

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 9:17 PM

#

And I'm missing one of those water cooler screws. I took everything apart and let on the table and went to Thailand. I come back and missing one

#

I'm so mad

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 9:17 PM

#

oh and btw, your pc case would have or should have come with all the hardware (screws and mounting and other misc)

#

so there isnt any excuse for why the person that built the pc didnt use them

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 9:17 PM

#

And the mobo

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 9:18 PM

#

you can get new ones. it looked like it was just a thumb screw anyway

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 9:19 PM

#

#

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 9:21 PM

#

so it looks like it uses 6-32 for the mounting stand off but probably m3 on the inside threading for the motherboard screws

#

which is odd

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 9:21 PM

#

Welcome to everything I buy

#

It's shit

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 9:22 PM

#

there is also the possibility you or the original builder cross threaded it and fucked it up

#

and it's all 6-32 threads

#

how many of those stand offs are installed?

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 9:23 PM

#

6

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 9:25 PM

#

i looked at your older pictures and it looks like it was installed for an atx board on the outer edges, but those dont touch the board

#

also your system had been working before

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 9:25 PM

#

Can I try to power on like this? Only mobo plugged in

#

Dude everything worked fine. Then it died

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 9:26 PM

#

i wouldnt

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 9:26 PM

#

Might just sell everything as parts

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 9:27 PM

#

it looks like you probably have enough stand offs instilled still

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 9:27 PM

#

If I had a bat it would be in pieces already

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 9:27 PM

#

put it back in and hook it up leave the gpu out

#

just chill

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 9:28 PM

#

1400$

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 9:28 PM

#

it's not that bad

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 9:28 PM

#

I don't have the correct screws

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 9:28 PM

#

im not sure if you were using the 6-32 or m3 screws

#

m3 wouldnt screw into 6-32 threads

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 9:28 PM

#

I'm leaving the 2 screws in. Leaving mobo plugged in and turning on

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 9:28 PM

#

so that stand off you pulled out was probably cross threaded

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 9:29 PM

#

They are all like that

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 9:29 PM

#

wait

#

you have screws at the rear expansion plates where the gpu goes

#

you dont need those plates installed

#

get 2 screws from that and carefull see if they will screw in

#

dont try to force it

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 9:30 PM

#

From the what

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 9:31 PM

#

look at your last picture

on the left side bottom of where the motherboard is sitting

you see those screws?

#

you can unscrew some of those,

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 9:31 PM

They are too big

#

Already tried

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 9:32 PM

#

did you compare the screws that do screw in to the ones that dont?

#

can you show me them?

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 9:33 PM

#

#

Not the best pic

#

The threads are way dig

#

Different

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 9:34 PM

#

the top one has finer threading than the bottom silver one right?

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 9:34 PM

#

Yes

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 9:34 PM

#

that top one is the one that works correctly?

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 9:34 PM

#

Wait I made a discovery. Standby

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 9:35 PM

#

finer threads would be an m3 screw

digital stag Nov 4, 2024, 9:41 PM

#

pull the stand off off again find the right screw that fits in it then putt he standoff back in and tighten it before u put mobo screw back in

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 9:43 PM

#

I just did that

#

One of them was retarted

#

#

4 screws are in

#

I took one stand-off thing out

#

Never did replace it. Idc atm

#

Should I try it now?

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 9:47 PM

#

put the pump back on the cpu

#

even though you only have 3 thumb screw nuts

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 9:48 PM

#

Well that's still missing one of the screws. I looked everywhere

#

Omg I found it

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 9:48 PM

#

you just need something to keep the cpu fro over heating for now when making sure your system will even turn on

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 9:50 PM

#

That's only if I plug in the cpu

#

I just want to see if the mobo turns on

#

The thermal paste okay on it?

digital stag Nov 4, 2024, 9:51 PM

for a test yes but longterm should repaste if u get it working

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 9:51 PM

I low key hate you for making me do this all over again

digital stag Nov 4, 2024, 10:07 PM

#

unfortunantly u gotta remove mobo again to put that 1 mount in place

#

i know i'm sorry but trust me you want that screw next to the gpu port

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 10:08 PM

#

Is the thermal paste fine tho from that last pic?

digital stag Nov 4, 2024, 10:08 PM

#

if u ever remove gpu and its stuck for any reason that screw holds downt he mobo from being ripped into pieces

digital stag Nov 4, 2024, 10:08 PM

#

tall sonnet Is the thermal paste fine tho from that last pic?

yeah thats fine

#

u can redo it again when its all done and built and working properly

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 10:08 PM

#

Can it not stay like that

#

I just put that on yesterday

digital stag Nov 4, 2024, 10:09 PM

#

for testing its fine but rule of tumb is if u ever remove cooler paste must be changed even if its done yesterday

#

u want the paste tow squish down once and only once ifu keep removing and redoing it it'll squish all the paste out the sides i learnd the hard way and smoked my first fx8350 back in the day from doing that

#

luckily it was my test bench and i had a second 1 sitting right next to it

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 10:26 PM

Old pc is still built. It's just slower than an old person

digital stag Nov 4, 2024, 10:26 PM

#

can u have enough patience and 10 bucks to order that screw kit then so its done right ?

#

or like i said earlier just force that black one in hte case if thats the problem and its corase threaded. assuming the screw u have fits on the inside and its not broken

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 10:27 PM

#

It would fit just not tight

digital stag Nov 4, 2024, 10:28 PM

#

are the threads stripped ?

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 10:28 PM

No idea

#

take a picture

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 10:28 PM

#

You wouldn't be able to see. I'll check one of the screws that actually fit the others into that one

digital stag Nov 4, 2024, 10:28 PM

#

yeah check the threads on it

#

sometimes they are just different threads mobos hav ea coarse and a fine

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 10:29 PM

digital stag Nov 4, 2024, 10:31 PM

#

the kit i posed comes with an entire set of standoffs and screws and loads of extra's

#

if u got the time to shop around amazon they have TONS of sets

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 10:32 PM

#

i would make sure the left most screws are in and the ones near the gpu

#

top and bottom left

#

bottom right

digital stag Nov 4, 2024, 10:33 PM

#

plush bobcat i would make sure the left most screws are in and the ones near the gpu

this what i been trying to say lol the ones near the gpu are most important cause ive seen it happen tomany times of cracked mobo cause scerws werent next to it

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 10:33 PM

#

Kekw

digital stag Nov 4, 2024, 10:36 PM

#

they got all the corners and it fit nicely n stuff but they couldnt get gpu out and literally ripped the pcie socket off the mobo and cracked the whole thing in half almost instead of the lock on the socket breaking wich is what usually happens

plush bobcat Nov 4, 2024, 10:40 PM

#

the lock on my board doesnt release my 6800xt like it does the 3070/90

#

6800xt also doesnt sag and is way more solid in the case

digital stag Nov 4, 2024, 10:41 PM

#

ypu i gotta midnight black one thats exactly like that it fits very snug i like it

#

i have a mini pc too where the mobo standoffs were slightly to far from the io shield and when u bolt down the gpu it pulls pretty hard on the mobo and makes it almost impossible to get the damn lock off even after taking gpu screws out i gota get a long screw driver and "gently" tap o nthe lock to get it to break

tall sonnet Nov 4, 2024, 11:00 PM

#

If only they made these things easier

#

I'll look up Amazon now. I'm gone tomorrow for 4 days for work so it will be here when I get back

Where I'm at so far

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 7:36 PM

#

so it's working again?

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 7:57 PM

#

No idea yet. Fans are not even plugged in. Ram is not in. Gpu is not in

#

Fans are a hot mess and idk how the plugs go

#

I guess I plugged in the AIO correctly. I can feel the water vibrating inside. The fans are on and the lights too

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 8:00 PM

#

did you read your manual to find the header pin locations that correspond with the fans and rgb?

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 8:35 PM

#

#

All fans are on. Still fucked up tho

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 8:36 PM

#

how do you mean fucked up?

#

why havent you installed the ram yet?

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 8:36 PM

#

Top right only shows a few led

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 8:36 PM

#

because you havent installed the ram

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 8:36 PM

#

That doesn't matter

#

This is how it was when I had it

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 8:37 PM

#

you need the ram installed for it to go anywhere else

#

did you even look at your motherboard manual yet?

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 8:37 PM

#

I'll turn it off and show you again after ram

#

I don't even have it

AURA Addressable Gen 2 headers
The Addressable Gen 2 headers allow you to connect individually
addressable RGB WS2812B LED strips or WS2812B based LED strips.

#

AURA RGB headers
The RGB headers allow you to connect RGB LED strips.
The RGB header supports a 5050 RGB multi-color LED strip (12V/G/R/B), with a maximum
power rating of 3A (12V), and no longer than 3m.

#

that is in the top right of the board

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 8:42 PM

#

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 8:42 PM

#

the gen 2 header is on the left and the rgb is on the right. you need to figure out what voltage your rgb fans are that are not part of the aio

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 8:43 PM

#

12v dc

#

I have 6

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 8:43 PM

#

no that is the fan itself im saying the rgb part

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 8:44 PM

#

No idea

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 8:44 PM

#

what are the model of the fans

#

what is the mdel of the fan hub

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 8:44 PM

#

#

0.62A

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 8:47 PM

#

can you show me what cable comes off the rgb hub

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 8:47 PM

#

The cable management is ass I know and I don't care atm. But this has nothing plugged in

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 8:48 PM

#

the actual ends of the cables that come off the hub, not the ones from the fans plugged into it

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 8:48 PM

#

#

This is the only plug left

#

That's from the rgb hub

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 8:49 PM

#

what does both ends look like

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 8:50 PM

#

Exact same

#

#

Imma get the ram in.

#

#

Just watched a video. Fans and rgb was hooked up properly. They just don't light up

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 9:01 PM

#

directly from the manual

If your LED strip does not light up, check if the RGB LED extension cable and the
RGB LED strip are connected in the correct orientation, and the 12V connector is
aligned with the 12V header on the motherboard.

#

led strip and led fans are basically the same

#

the connector needs to be plugged in for it to work

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 9:03 PM

#

So it's plugged into the usb slot

#

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 9:04 PM

#

how is it getting powered?

#

did you plug in the sata power cable for power?

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 9:05 PM

#

Sata

#

It's already connected to the commander pro

#

Then it has the usb plug also which goes at the bottom

#

Corsair hub plugs into the led spot on commander pro

#

Hub is also powered by SATA

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 9:07 PM

#

but did you plug in the sata power cable?

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 9:07 PM

#

It's all plugged in

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 9:07 PM

#

then you might need to access the bios to have it start doing rgb

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 9:07 PM

#

I have 1 fan doing 1 led

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 9:08 PM

#

you really shouldnt even be worried about rgb until you make sure the system is even working

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 9:08 PM

#

#

True

#

Where does the HD audio plug go

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 9:10 PM

#

bottom usually more to the back or left side of the board

#

you can do hd audio or ac97

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 9:10 PM

you should really look at the manual. it tells you things

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 9:13 PM

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 9:14 PM

did you reset the bios at any point?

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 9:38 PM

#

No

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 9:38 PM

#

then you should be able to just boot into windows

#

if you pulled the cmos battery, that means you reset the bios

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 9:39 PM

#

I pulled it

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 9:40 PM

#

press f10 save and exit

#

#

Here we go again

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 9:45 PM

#

ok so now you get to repair windows

#

open advanced options

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 9:45 PM

#

I did that last time

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 9:45 PM

#

your system also had issues last time and likely kept corrupting windows

#

it's still corrupted

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 9:46 PM

#

I still have that usb

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 9:46 PM

#

how new is the install of windows?

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 9:46 PM

#

I restarted and it's now it's just black screen

#

It was a windows rebooter

#

I don't even get blue screen anymore.

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 9:49 PM

#

did you even select advanced repair options?

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 9:49 PM

need to cook food and then also feed my brothers cats

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 9:52 PM

#

Yeah I get nothing

#

Last time I had to do everything from bios screen with the usb

#

Then that killed my pc

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 9:54 PM

#

turn the pc off. unplug the power cable from the power supply. press and hold the power button for 5 seconds. plug the power back into the pc and try starting it again

#

if that doesnt work, pull the cmos battery or find the cmos jumper to reset the cmos (bios) settings

#

if you cant get to the windows repair/recovery. maybe just reinstall windows

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 9:55 PM

#

I can't pull the battery easily

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 9:55 PM

#

you can the battery is in the corner

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 9:55 PM

#

Reinstall windows from the usb again?

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 9:57 PM

#

tall sonnet Pc would fail the repair

there is a way to fix it but that may be beyond you at this moment. just reinstall windows instead

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 9:57 PM

#

With the usb thing? In bios

#

All I get is a black screen

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 9:58 PM

#

you did make windows installer from the media creation tool right?

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 9:58 PM

#

Yes

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 9:58 PM

#

then you boot to that

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 9:58 PM

#

Best Buy did it for me for free

#

Afraid it will kill it like last time

#

I'll try it after I eat I guess

#

Nvm I'll do it now

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 9:59 PM

#

you cant repair windows so what does it matter?

#

wait

#

hold up

#

take the power or data cables off the sata drives

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 10:00 PM

#

Already started booting from usb

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 10:00 PM

#

loading from usb is just that and wont break anything

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 10:31 PM

#

Blue screen

#

#

Which one?

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 10:49 PM

#

cloud download downloads the install directly

#

depending on your internet speed, it may be faster or slower than usb

#

if your internet is at least 100Mb/s, it will be about the same speed or a bit faster than usb (local)

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 10:56 PM

#

Cloud didn't work

#

Local worked

#

Now I'm at the black screen again with the mouse

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 11:03 PM

#

there is a possibility that a piece of hardware is defective or something else

#

possible need to reseat the cpu in the socket after checking the cpu socket pins for anything out of alignment

#

there could also be an overheating issue with the motherboard

#

i dont really have time to go through it all right now

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 11:20 PM

#

I just restarted windows

#

Now I’m back to a black screen

#

Was putting in Microsoft password and it all went black

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 11:23 PM

#

yeah you definitely have some kind of hardware issue then

#

has it always had issues since it was built?

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 11:24 PM

#

But which hardware?

#

No

#

I can get new nvme and ram

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 11:29 PM

#

i have no idea what it is

#

it could be just one or more than one component

#

probably just one though

#

and at the moment im suspecting cpu issue

#

not the cpu being at fault but the motherboard cpu socket or something else on the board

#

if you have thermal paste on hand. i would say, carefully remove the cpu from the socket and check from multiple angles whether any cpu pins are bent or out of line with the rest

#

there is a good chance that the person that built the pc also fucked up the cpu socket when installing the cpu

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 11:42 PM

#

I had everything in pieces a few days ago

#

I rebuilt it all

#

I have no idea what this is. Someone is walking me through it all now. He says he’s never seen anything like this before

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 11:47 PM

#

it feels like either a cpu issue or some component on the motherboard

#

it;s a cheap motherboard so i wouldnt be surprised if it was overheating

#

which it shouldnt because you ahve a lot of fans

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 11:49 PM

#

I just sent the mobo in

#

They ran tests and r
Stressed it

#

Everything came back normal

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 11:51 PM

#

them saying it's normal doesnt mean much. they might have just slapped a cpu in and turned it on and say yep looks fine and moved on

#

there is also a chance your gpu is the problem

#

could be your ssd

#

black screen may mean the gpu itself is faulty

#

do you have another gpu to test with?

#

can you get one?

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 11:53 PM

#

I unplugged my ssd

#

I mean I guess I have another

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 11:54 PM

#

is there any files on your 2 sata drives?

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 11:55 PM

#

Probably

#

But I unplugged them

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 11:55 PM

#

i would have suggested trying one for windows to see if you get the same issue because that would narrow it down to likely the gpu or a cpu issue

tall sonnet Nov 8, 2024, 11:55 PM

#

I can take it out of other pc

plush bobcat Nov 8, 2024, 11:56 PM

#

Last time I got this far it died

#

I unplugged my other pc monitor and it all came back

#

It’s like everything was on the off screen. Which is weird the both don’t turn on

#

What’s strange is that my mobo light is not on

#

#

So this is where I was last time and I repligged back in my 2nd monitor and the whole computer died

#

wait you had 2 displays plugged in

tall sonnet Nov 9, 2024, 12:11 AM

#

Yes

plush bobcat Nov 9, 2024, 12:11 AM

#

why was the other one off?

tall sonnet Nov 9, 2024, 12:11 AM

#

🤷‍♂️

#

No idea

plush bobcat Nov 9, 2024, 12:12 AM

#

did you only have one turned on?

#

i had no idea you had 2 displays hooked up

tall sonnet Nov 9, 2024, 12:12 AM

#

I don’t inderstand why one won’t turn on until I login to the computer

#

I have 3 displays

plush bobcat Nov 9, 2024, 12:12 AM

#

because it only displays on one until you login

#

one of them is the primary based on how you plugged them in

tall sonnet Nov 9, 2024, 12:12 AM

#

But one of them don’t work. I swear it’s the gpu

#

Doesn’t matter how they are plugged in

#

I get the same one every time

plush bobcat Nov 9, 2024, 12:13 AM

#

you need to set it to span or clone mode for the second monitor to work

#

press windows key and p

tall sonnet Nov 9, 2024, 12:14 AM

#

I did that

#

Nothing happened

tall sonnet Nov 9, 2024, 12:59 PM

#

So far it works but I have yet to ply in the 2nd monitor again. Also I can't find my old files. Says folder is empty

plush bobcat Nov 9, 2024, 1:50 PM

#

did you do a clean install?

#

did you delete or wipe out the old installation? that removes your old data

#

if you did a reset whatever files are collected in your user folders is put into the windows.old folder

#

if you didnt have anything there, it wont save anything

#

i never keep important files on my C (windows install) drive

#

if you had anything important elsewhere on that old installation of windows, there are some programs that can find it again, but dont count on being able to get everything.

#

i was trying to hint at you using a different drive to install windows to see if it might have been an ssd issue or just a windows install issue

tall sonnet Nov 9, 2024, 2:53 PM

#

My ssd was unplugged

#

I see the windows.old but empty folders. I did a reset. Fresh install and all. Still have yet to plug in 2nd monitor.

#

Also I noticed my mobo light doesn't stay on anymore. It comes on with the red-white- green and once it's all loaded there's no light. 🤷🏻‍♂️

plush bobcat Nov 9, 2024, 2:56 PM

#

the lights are good

plush bobcat Nov 9, 2024, 2:57 PM

#

tall sonnet I see the windows.old but empty folders. I did a reset. Fresh install and all. S...

did you have anything important you needed to save from the old installation?

tall sonnet Nov 9, 2024, 2:58 PM

#

But the light turns off after it's loaded up. I'm pretty sure it used to stay on white. I would have liked to keep some things. Mostly I spent 2 months taking old DV8 tapes and transferring them to digital

plush bobcat Nov 9, 2024, 3:00 PM

#

the lights are suppose to turn off

#

they're debug lights

#

the only lights you "want" to be on are the rgb lights the motherboard may have

tall sonnet Nov 9, 2024, 3:35 PM

#

Oh I swear the green light stayed on

tall sonnet Nov 12, 2024, 5:31 PM

plush bobcat Nov 12, 2024, 5:35 PM

#

is everything back to the way you want it minus the data?

tall sonnet Nov 12, 2024, 5:40 PM

#

The fans still don't light up. I fixed the fans on the cooler to light up. Yeah and I lost all the data from the old however it says it's here somewhere but shows empty folders

plush bobcat Nov 12, 2024, 5:42 PM

#

if there is nothing in the old windows folders, then it didnt back up anything

#

the refresh only backs up what is in your documents folders
