Hello, I installed some W10 updates yesterday and today after the bios screen, windows didn't load, just black screen. Well, story time, they give me this old Pc at work (really old) to do one or two office things, it has W7 on a hard drive so everything is very very slow, I also use this Pc for...

I was wondering whether anyone else has experienced this problem and has any advice on what to do, (if anything). I’ve had my PC for four months now or so and everything works well overall, but tonight for the 2nd time since owning when I booted the PC it went to the ‘choose an option’ page...

Hi, Got an interesting discreet GPU issue here, perhaps someone came across something similar here. My Z690 setup includes CPU with iGPU so had been running it like this on the bench. I have a spare, old gen card (HD7950) which is now a backup and had been running flawlessly under WC for...

Hallo clever people! I have an intriguing and head-scratching situation, involving a Ryzen 7 5700g, but might apply to other CPU's. TL: DR? Brand new CPU/APU, on first installation would spin up and cycle/loop trying to POST, on two different rigs. Eventually posted/booted, and is now fine. How...

Hi, I just made a new build about a month ago but there's an issue that seems to be getting more apparent. Whenever I put the PC into sleep or shut it down, pressing the power button from the case or the 'start' button on the motherboard does not turn the pc back on. The RGB standby lights from...

Hello folks, I need help. First of all here is my system: MSI MPG X570 Gaming Edge Wifi. Ryzen 3600. GTX 1070 Corsair AX 760. So my computer randomly shut down over the weekend and thinking it might be related to a bit of dust or something I did the usual cleanout. Upon finishing I started the...

3080 arrived yesterday, swapping it out for a 1070 which I sold last month. The system boots perfectly without the GPU installed, it also boots if the 3080 is installed but I change video output to the onboard CPU graphics - but then 3080 does not show in task manager or device manager. My...

Hello all, I am taking a break from looking for GPUs that don't exist and turning my attention to storage drives. Hopefully there's a deal to be had over the weekend. I want two drives - one as the boot drive and install drive for my CAD programs. The second can be for storage, CAD files and...

Hi guys, I installed a NVME SSD in my PC and installed windows on it for my dad to use until I got his PC built. Now that his PC is built, I’ve swapped the SSD into his PC and it’s not recognised as a bootable device. I’ve since found out that leaving my SSD installed when I installed windows...

Hopefully this is the right forum for this question. But all of a sudden my PC won't boot. It gets past the BIOS screen and then all I get is a black screen with white dots that spin endlessly. After restarting 3 or 4 times it goes into a menu and I've tried Safe Mode and Safe Mode with...

I've been trying to install the new Microsoft Flight Simulator and each time, it would get about half way through and the screen would go black and not respond to input but the fans were still all spinnning. Each time I was able to power cycle the machine and it booted up. Its just happened...

Hey everyone, I’ve just built a brand new PC and it’s a ROG STRIX X570-F with a Ryzen 7 3700X. I’m currently having an issue where the PC won’t directly boot to my EVO 970 m.2 SSD and sometimes sits on a black screen, however when I manage to get into the BIOS, I can change the boot order...

Hi all. My friend has given me his Windows system, which is about 6 years old, to try and diagnose. The original issue was that it’d boot into the blue screen which gives him options like system restore, start up repair etc. I formatted his hard drive, reinstalled windows and everything seemed...

So I recently upgraded my pc, installed all components without a hitch but noticed my cpu was running a little hot. I removed it, replaced thermal paste and heatsink and now my pc won't boot. It turns on but with a red light on the "Ez debug" lights next to dram. Doesn't reach bios. I figured...

Hi all, I have the above strix motherboard paired with a 2700X and it's been trouble free since it was built a couple of months ago. Yesterday I was playing FH4 and the game crashed, screen froze and unresponsive, this isn't unique, FH4 loves to crash. But, I held down the power button to...

Hey guys, Got a new PC. The PC is great but the booting I find is a little strange. Its been sent back tested, but the same problem persist. At least i think its a problem. The PC booted up in around 20 odd seconds at first. Now its taking over double the time. It starts up makes a noise...

Hi all, I have a big issue with boot up. First it would say that bootmgr was missing, then it would attempt auto repair and give me a blue screen saying auto repair failed and would restart. Then when I was able to access the repair options... CMD prompt > bootrec /fixmbr ...NO VERSION OF...
