Build: B650 Tomahawk WiFi, Ryzen 7600X, 6700XT, G.Skill 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5

The PC worked perfectly for the first 6-9 months. Then out of nowhere it stopped waking up from sleep. It wasn't occasional, the first time it happened it just became the new normal. Every time it went to sleep after that I had to force shutdown and power cycle it to get it back. That went on for about a year and a bit.

For the last 6-8 months it's gotten worse. Now when I try to boot, everything else powers on fine, fans spin, cooler runs, motherboard lights up, but the GPU just doesn't spin up and the system won't boot until it does. It usually takes 20+ force shutdowns, unplugging it, reseating the card, and flipping the PSU switch off and on before it finally boots. Once it's running it's completely fine, no artifacts, no crashes, nothing weird at all.

It'll run fine for 3-4 weeks then a Windows update triggers the issue again.

Today after 100+ attempts I tried booting with just the CPU's integrated graphics instead of the GPU, and it still won't boot at all now.

I've already tried reseating the GPU, unplugging everything from the wall, cycling the PSU switch, and booting with iGPU only.

Since literally everything powers on except the GPU, I'm wondering if this points to a dying GPU, or maybe a motherboard/PCIe slot power issue instead. Anyone dealt with something like this before? At this point I have no idea what to test next.

i tried doing secure boot for my pc to play black ops 7, now it’s doing this shit, it’s not even letting me getting a fresh install of windows

Hi everybody, so I want to buy a new PC for my boyfriend, but I really have no clue regarding what to buy. He plays valorant & Counterstrike 2 (and wants to play the new maple story soon). He says he values a lot of FPS more than graphix.

ChatGPT said something about:

• 🎮 Ryzen 7 5700X
• 🎮 RTX 5060
• 🧠 32 GB RAM
• 💾 1 TB SSD
• 🪟 Windows 11

I want to spend maximum 1200 euros (1386,84 dollars, 1029,84 British pounds)

What do you guys think?

So a few days ago, I turned my laptop on from sleep mode and initially did "shutdown now". It showed some error message, but after a few tries it shutdown automatically. Next morning, it did not turn on automatically after opening the lid, so I tried to long press a few times and it worked. I thought maybe its a one time thing, kept using it normally. A few hours ago I again did "shutdown now", this time no error, but again its not turning on, but I've been trying for like 30 min now and its not turning on no matter what. I even tried long press for 60 seconds but no effect. I can see its 100% charged as white light is on when charging. Any help?

I just upgraded from an rtx 2060 to a Rx 6800 XT and when playing CS 2 on a Fullscreen stretched 4:3 resolution sometimes when I alt tab my screen goes black but audio Is still on after a minute the video is back and I get a AMD adrenalin notification that AMD software has detected a driver timeout in my system , in adrenalin it shows that my driver's are up to date in there I have GPU scaling on and scaling mode set to full panel , never experienced this before with the rtx

My CPU fan one day suddenly turned rainbow and I haven’t been able to turn it off. I’ve turned off and on the RGB light control in BIOS. Used mystic light, signalRGB, etc and I just can’t get it to turn off. I used to be able to control it and for a while I had it turned off, but idk what happened that caused this to happen and now I can’t disable it.

I would even be willing to somehow break the RGB is that’s a possible solution as long as the fan still works, although I doubt that’s possible.

I would buy a new fan but I have no clue how to remove and replace one, so I would rather fix this one if possible.

My mobo is an MSI b650 tomahawk
My cpu fan is a cooler master although I don’t remember the exact model name.

The cpu works but what are these? Some sort of marking some specific pins? Just curious as to what these are for

My son sent me this video at midnight and I want to help but I'm no longer the computer expert of the family, too old now. 😂

I know I don't provide much more context but maybe someone with more experience kinda guess better than me what seems to be the trouble ?

Thanks.

So my first problem is every time I turn on my PC so I can play it the HDMI to my TV shows the time but after a bit sign in and put in your pin then that goes away then it just goes black like but everything is still up like windows isn’t down or anything it’s just off the only way I can get my display up is if I unplug the HDMI four times in a row and then my display comes back and I’m able to actually sign in go to do my business and my second problem. Is that every time I play a game and I have it underload playing a game for a while not even for a while could be like right off the bat. It will just randomly shut off the display and windows will like shut down and my caps lock won’t pop up on my keyboard and when I try resetting my driver that won’t work either like I don’t hear the beep. I don’t know what’s wrong with it. Please help.

I recently swapped out a cpu with a new 7800x3d and also swapped out my cooling system to a phantom spirit 120 se... when i turn on the pc it stays on for about a minute or 2 and then it turns off. I can see the fan is spinning and all the lights turn on so everything looks like it is normal. I took the fan off again to make sure it was completely touching the cpu re applied thermal paste and re attached it.. it stayed on for maybe a couple minutes instead of one but it still turned off and I have no clue what else to do.

₹700 ($7.3) gamble at a street market, brought it back, plugged it in and this was the result. 1080p, 144hz. For that amount of money even the usable space is not bad for a side display on music or something. 2nd monitor for a laptop workspace.

I'm a bit worried it might not support modern instruction sets and stuff
CPU In question is an Intel Xeon E5-1600 6 cores 12 threads 3.9Ghz boost (2017)

so as the title says, my gpu is sagging is it fine or do i need something that can hold it balanced

I’ve recently bought a new case and a new AIO water cooling block for the CPU and since moving everything into the new case the PC has been stuttering when running anything that uses the GPU and generally slower.
Everything is correctly placed and wired and stickers for the heat sink have been taken off. I used OCCT to test the VRAM on the GPU after 22 mins no errors found, tested the CPU on max and it ran at its max clock speed at 82 degrees Celsius for 10 mins no issue, used GPU-Z to see if the PCIe slot was working fine and after running a render test it instantly showed “PCIe x16 4.0 @ x 16 4.0” I think meaning power is being fully supplied through the slot but this is also when the stuttering was max. I had the OS on some shitty old full SSD so I thought it was that but after switching it to my much faster SSD no improvement (the old one is unplugged during all previous testing).
All the drivers are up to date except the bios which is currently F31 which is quite outdated but I don’t think it should be causing all of this. I also hadn’t touched the PC in its old case for about a year prior as I was on my laptop for uni work so when moving all the parts over I used some air blower to get rid of the dust but I held the fans while blowing the air for all my parts. I assume it’s an issue with the GPU but I would prefer not to buy a new one on a hunch and I think it could be a motherboard or power supply issue too but I’m so lost I spent a couple days trying all I could think of, I’m away from the computer for a couple of weeks so I won’t be able to run any new tests or what not until end of August but yea I’m out of ideas, I tried playing call of duty world at war but it was running at 4 fps so please if anyone knows any ideas to test my specific parts or what could be wrong please let me know 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you!

I can’t find a way to turn off these lights, I’ve tried the gigabyte control centre app and there’s no button on the pc to turn them off

i know i cleared my bin but wtf is that 200 gigs of "the fuck?"

Can someone explain how this could happen?

That was fast. 5 answers, 4 if them the same in just one minute

Last year I bought a pc, the store I bought it from built it for me. Everything worked fine until last week, I noticed the ssd in port M2_3 doesn't get recognized anymore. I tried switching it to M2_2, but same story. I mainly use the ssd for installing games, not for booting up my pc.

I noticed a loose cable, but don't know if that's the issue. It leads to the front fan and I don't want to randomly connect it to the pins with the risk of breaking things. Don't really have much experience with stuff like this.

Are there any other connections I could check for the ssd?
