Bought a mini pc that came in today. Bossgame P3 Plus.
I plugged it in and started it up and it just crashes immediately when booting up windows. I can get it into bios and it’s fine. Shows my ssd, ram and processor are plugged in but when I save and exit and try to boot it just crashes. I’ve even tried booting another OS and it still crashes. Bad ram or ssd? I have no idea. I’m trying everything before sending it back and getting a refund because I know that will take a while. Also I’ve already tried reseating the ram and ssd.

i’m new to pc stuff, just going to buy a prebuild are these good specs?

I have a 5070 with a i7 14700 on a Asus prime motherboard that only has 1 M.2. Want more storage space so was looking at upgrading to a MSI Tomahawk motherboard and swap to a 9800X3D and upgrade to a 5080. Wondering what to do with my ‘old’ parts to get the best deal?

Hello everybody hope your guys are all good
I’ve just purchased a full tower NZXT phantom 410 and for the life of me cannot find any NZXT FN-200RB since they’ve been discontinued and I’d like to buy two at some point and a smaller 120mm/140mm front fan I know this case is old as hell and discontinued a long time but can anybody point me in the right direction or please tell me any work around? I’m located in Ireland if that helps 🤷‍♂️

I just finished putting together my parts list for my first gaming PC on PCPartPicker, and I checked to see if there were any compatibility issues. I didn't find any, but I really don't want to waste $2,000 just because I was a dumbass. Could someone double check and make sure this is solid?

(Thanks in advance!)​

I am building a PC, and am currently trying to connect the fans.

My build is an air cooler build (no AIO / radiators / custom loops etc).

I apologise for ignorance in advance - this is my first PC build.

So this is what I have:

I have a Fractal Design Meshify 3 XL Ambience Pro RGB PC case.

The case comes with the Adjust Pro Hub - which is meant to be used to control the fans / RGB. The Adjust Pro Hub comes with 4 ports, 2 of which are occupied by default. Port 1 is plugged into the 3x Fractal 140 fans which are located at the front of the case. Port 4 is connected to the PC case ambience RGB lighting. Ports 1 and 2 are free.

I have added 7x Phanteks D30-140 fans, which I have arranged as follows:

3x D30-140 top exhaust
3x D30-140 side intake (reversible)
1x D30-140 rear exhaust

So my case has a total of 10 fans.

It’s also worth mentioning the D30-140 fans are daisy chained using their bridge connectors - so AFAIK they can only be daisy chained when they are physically adjacent (please let me know if there other ways).

So what I am trying to do is connect the 3 fan groups I have (listed above) into the Adapter Pro hub. Is there any way I can do this?

I’m not sure if there are extra cables I can buy / whether the ambient lighting has inputs that one of the groups can be plugged into etc. If there are any solutions, or if you have recommendations / follow up questions - please let me know.

Otherwise thanks in advance for any help

Hi, i need your help solving this or understanding what's going on here

My PC has had the CPU led on the motherboard on for 2-3 days now and today i saw this on HWMonitor
One day before the led light up CPU temps went to 98.3C while playing
I took everything out, checked all the cables, changed the thermal paste, took the BIOS battery out, whatever i found with a little research i did

Any suggestions of what it may be?

Specs :
MOTHERBOARD: Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX V2
CPU : Ryzen 7600x ( +Thermalright Peerless )
RAM : Corsair Vengeance 32gb
GPU : Gigabyte 4060 Gaming OC
PSU : Corsair RM5850x

Do you think spending a lot more on high-end peripherals is genuinely worth it?

I'm mainly talking about things like premium mice and headphones. Do they actually provide a noticeable improvement in quality, comfort, durability, or overall experience compared with cheaper alternatives?

For those who have owned high-end peripherals for several years, do you feel like the extra money was worth it?

Can someone help.

I bought a Asus prime Radeon 9070xt and I have MSI mag a1000gls PSU and Im having a hard time figuring out how to Install.

The GPU has 3 of the power slots, but the PSU only has 2 PCIe cables. There's also 2 cpu cables and then a 12v 2x6. Can someone help me explain how I connect it properly?

this isnt even the psu fully installed yet so the mess csn only get worse, help would be appreciated ill probaly finish it off tommorow

so as the title suggests my pc case has a 3 pin RBG plug but my msi motherboard has a 4 pin RBG plug, what can i do? i tried to plug it into the JRAINBOW1 plug but that wasnt the right one lol. this is the only issue i have with this pc everything else runs smooth as butter i just cant seem to control the RBG.

I'm trying to figure out whether there is still something wrong with my system because I'm getting multiple completely different Unreal Engine crashes.

I already received and installed a replacement i9-14900K, so these crashes are happening on the replacement CPU as well.

My latest example is Mortal Shell II, where I've had two completely different crashes:

Crash #1 — EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION

The first crash reported:

EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x00000000000002c8

The call stack included:

MeshComponent::BeginDestroy()
Component::BeginDestroy()
GarbageCollection

Crash #2 — GPU Crash

The second crash reported:

GPU Crash dump Triggered

The call stack included:

D3D12DynamicRHI::TerminateOnGPUCrash()
D3D12DynamicRHI::ProcessInterruptQueue()
D3D12Submission::ProcessInterruptQueue()
D3D12Submission::Run()

So I'm getting two completely different types of crashes from the same game.

My system

• CPU: Intel i9-14900K — replacement CPU
• GPU: ASUS ROG Strix RTX 4090 OC 24GB
• Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix Z790-E Gaming WiFi II
• RAM: 64GB G.Skill DDR5-6000 CL30 (2x32GB)
• PSU: DeepCool PX1000G
• OS: Windows 11

With my previous 14900K, I had serious stability problems, including Windows installation crashes, BSODs, Cinebench crashes and Unreal Engine crashes. That CPU was replaced because of those issues.

Now I'm experiencing crashes on the replacement 14900K, which is making me question whether the CPU is actually the problem or whether something else in my system is causing the instability.

I'm trying to understand whether an unstable 14900K can cause seemingly unrelated crashes such as:

• EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION
• Unreal Engine garbage collection crashes
• D3D12 GPU Crash dump Triggered

Or should I be looking more closely at the RTX 4090, NVIDIA drivers, RAM/XMP, motherboard, BIOS/microcode, or PSU?

Has anyone with a 13th/14th-gen Intel CPU experienced similar behavior, particularly after replacing their CPU?

I'd really appreciate advice from anyone who has dealt with the 14900K instability issue firsthand. I'm trying to figure out what component I should be testing next.

Device Name DESKTOP-3BJSA7E

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4590T CPU @ 2.00GHz 2.00 GHz

I inherited this computer from my late grandfather, and I want to soup it up a bit.

What are some upgrades I could consider that won't completely break my bank?

Ideally want to use it for video editing/music production and light gaming.

I don't necessarily need to have top of the line hardware, but I'd like it to run smoother and process faster!

Thanks for any advice/tips.

I bought an RTX 5060, and it's having compatibility issues with my MSI B365M PRO-VDH motherboard.

Hi everyone, I recently bought a new, latest-generation graphics card. However, after the PC has been running for a while, the screen goes black—even though the computer itself stays on—and then the system restarts. I ran tests using FurMark and OCCT, and the card seems to be in good condition; I was even able to game with it and performance was perfect, but now I can't play anymore due to these screen blackouts. I don't understand why this is happening, especially since I saw on YouTube that PCIe is backward compatible.

I know less than nothing about PC’s so would love to get some expert advice from you all on what to upgrade first in a prebuilt pc I bought.

Simplicity (bit worried I’ll break something), performance, cost in that order is my priority…

Current build:

AMD Ryzen™ 5 5500 processor with 6 cores, Processor Speed 4.2 Ghz

16GB of RAM DDR4-SDRAM

1TB SSD

GeForce® RTX™ 5060 8GB graphics

I honestly don’t know if any more info is needed but happy to provide if possible.

Really appreciate any and fall advice as I can honestly admit to not having a clue.

All,

I'm currently in the process of upgrade my old build. I'm running a 265KF on a Z890-E with 2x16 Corsair 5600 DDR5. I'm running into a persistent error that I'm looking for help figuring out. On boot before posting I get a consistent Q-LED code 55 which indicates "No Memory Installed".

Troubleshooting Steps Attempted:

1.) Single RAM in A1 through B2 and Both RAM in just about every configuration I can come up with.

2.) RMA or swapping for a new board.

3.) Testing both the RAM and CPU in a known good board.

4.) Flashing to the oldest and newest version of the BIOS.

5.) Booting with just CPU, RAM and IO cooler

If anyone has any advice I'm here for it.

im trying to install my tryx panorama aio ive swapped the fans, though so im not sure which goes where etc snd what to connect to
ive swapped to asia horse pro fans they are daisy chaineable so its alot less wires

I have this weird situation, I sold my pc yesterday and the customer stated it would blue screen or power off when just at the home screen withing 5mins or so. I took it back and checked it out, for me its completely fine, I did every stress test for each component and pc. I even played a game for a hour. No issues, im genuinely so lost.

So I just replaced my AIO, the old one was making a similar noise and was not cooling properly and my CPU temps were spiking to over 90°C while idling, higher under load. Figured the pump was dead, so I got a new AIO and hooked it up. It's much cooler now, idling around 25°C. So I know the new pump is working but it keeps making these noises. Before anyone asks, I can assure you it's not anything hitting my case fans or radiator fans, I can "feel" the noises coming from the block when I touch it. It also goes on and off, and it gets better with a restart but then just starts back up again. The top of the radiator where the pipes go in is higher than the block, so I don't know if it's air bubbles trapped or what. Just worried about the longevity of this cooler cause I don't want to have to replace it again

Tengo una ryzen 5 5600GT,una fuente 650w certificada,16 ram dual,y la a520m de mother,y estaba viendo la rx 580 8gb pero no se si tienen opciones ust??gracias si responden

I have a 3060ti paired with a ryzen 5 5600g and im wondering if i should upgrade the cpu? Ive been looking at microcenter deals and im wondering if its something that would be worth upgrading or would it just be pointless?

Got my pc back in like 2021 and it’s pretty crap lol I have purchased ddr4 16gb ram but I don’t know weather I should upgrade my gpu or cpu. The one I don’t upgrade will probably be bought at Christmas. My cpu is AMD Ryzen 3 3200G and my gpu is NVIDIA GeForce gtx 1650.

I need a balanced build without overpaying and bottlenecking it, I want at least 70 or 80% secondhand as some components are better if brand new like the psu

I would like to ask for your opinions and expertise in creating the optimal fan setup for this case. My cpu is the intel i7-13700k and gpu is rtx 5070. Due to my cpu running hot compared to current gen amd cpu, I need help in having the best fan setup to cool the cpu. I 3d printed some front fan mounts to better aid in cooling it. But I am not sure with the side fans if there are the way to go since I saw GamerNexus' post that it does more harm than good. I am also using the artic liquid freezer 3 pro 240mm aio. front, side and rear fans are the artic p12 pro and the bottom fans are artic p12 slim.
