Newish Computer Not Posting

Looks like it was the CPU. Got my replacement CPU in today. Computer now works. I guess I got unlucky?

Newish Computer Not Posting

No video signal, no beeps or error message of any kind. I took the motherboard out for a bench test and place it on an antistatic bag. Shorted power button jumper. No change in symptoms, still no post, no video, infinite reboot cycle. Is it the CPU I guess? I thought CPUs rarely go bad.

Question Looking to upgrade computer from 2011

If you want save money, I'd suggest getting something like a used GTX 680, GTX 770, R9 290 RX 470, etc to boost your fps for a very good price.

Hi UsandThem, I tried doing both on the old mobo before deciding to replace it. New mobo exhibited same symptoms.

Newish Computer Not Posting

Hi all, My Ryzen 5 1600 computer was working well. I left it alone for 3 months. When I got back, the computer would not post and goes on an infinite reboot cycle. So far I replaced the power supply, memory, motherboard, and graphics card. I unhooked the hard drive to reduce variables. Computer...

PC Will No Longer Boot with 2 Sticks of RAM

Hi Ketchup, I'll try resetting the BIOS then rebooting with all the sticks. Hi Elixer, I did not pull the power plug, but I did initially flip off the PSU switch. I say initially, because I became frustrated with it not starting up and eventually started shifting DIMMs around with the PSU...

PC Will No Longer Boot with 2 Sticks of RAM

Hi folks. So I was previously running my computer with 2 sticks of G.SKILL 2GB DDR2-1066 RAM. I wanted more memory, so I chucked in a spare Kingston 2GB DDR2-1066 stick I had lying around. It didn't boot up, no big deal, I thought it may not work anyway because the memory was not brand...

Comp Crashes Every Hour

Thanks for the help so far mate. I know my way around windows, but I'm not that knowledgeable. So, the thing is, Windows locks up after about an hour. At which point I manually restart it with the power button. If I don't manually restart it, a blue screen eventually pops up. Ever since...

Comp Crashes Every Hour

Yes, sadly I had the same problems with Windows 7 64-bit. I just recently installed Win 10 Enterprise hoping it'd be fixed.

Image Distortion going from DVI-I to VGA

Hopefully you're right. I haven't tried a different vga cable because the same vga cable produced a cleaner image from my laptop. I suppose that trying a different vga cable will eliminate variables, and its possible that my video card doesn't like the vga cable or something. -edit- I just...

Image Distortion going from DVI-I to VGA

I've got no idea if connectors have different standards - I know HDMI (eg. ver 1.3a, 1.4a 1.4b etc) does, but I assumed that vga and dvi are universal. If it helps, the specs for the adapter say it has 1x DVI-I and 1x VGA, and the specs for the card say that it has Dual Link DVI-I x2 and one...
