Serious problem.
Graphics card is under performing, cpu unparks and parks at random (even more so in-game), and memory bounces back and forth between 16 an 8GB (i have 2 x 8GB)
Thinking dying mobo? ASUS pls no...

>>677271973
I think for this, of first try to run a live OS, like Ubuntu, from a DVD or a USB. You can generally find a benchmarking program on them. If the live OS runs without error, then your problem is software. Run Memtest, for sure. But, likely a dying board, or too weak of a power supply.
Big problem, pc shuts down under load, (playing csgo for half an hour), powerbutton has light still on
Specs: gtx970. I7 4790, 16gig ram, bequiet 650w psu
I really suspect the psu being the problem, help anon
>>677272399
And my temps of cpu/gpu stay around 50°C all the time
Also my harddrive just deleted half of my data ~90gb, i could recover it with recuva but wtf? Someones got an idea what was going on?
>>677272399
What brand PSU?
You can get away with high amperage single or dual rail PSUs, but if you've got one of those shit ones with like 5 12v rails and 2 5v's and fuck knows what else you've got problems.
What happens is when you pull hard from one 12v rail it makes the voltage dip on the other ones which does one of two things, it either saps too much power and it shuts down or when it stops sucking the power the voltage returns to normal and everything thinks it's having a surge, hence the shutdown.
Here is my problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdkMeEx-f_g
>>677272399
Possibility. Does your board have a built in graphics chip? If so, pull the graphics card and run off of the on board and see if the problem still happens. Could be an overheating problem. There are some temp monitor widgets that can help you see if that's an issue.
My laptop prompted me to reinstall windows because of an error on the drive, but every time it reboots it starts at square 1 again. But now it won't even power on anymore. I'm guessing I need to replace the battery and hard drive?
>>677270180
My Lenovo laptop won connect to my wifi, I have horrible wifi at times but that's not the issue as my xbox and smart tv can connect just fine. I've tried restarting it with the wifi off and all that but nothing works

>>677272796
No need to pull GPU apart;
Just boot into BIOS and there should be an option to activate and deactivate "Internal VGA" or similar, which by general rule is how the internal graphics card is refered to.
>>677272374
Ive stressed cpu for 5 hours straight. Mem diagnostic came out clean. I have a 750w psu more than enough for my rig
>>677272892
Battery shouldn't be the cause of the issue here. Sounds like a hard drive error.
Create a live ubuntu USB or DVD and run it. Go to the "disks" application and check the S.M.A.R.T. status of the drive. You could do a low-level format and see if that will correct the errors, but most likely, it's borked.
>>677273004
Single rail, 54A
You're not giving enough power to everything, especially with that phat 970 on board. Go to a 750 corsair or 850 anything else.
Unplug graphics card, run off MoBo graphics for a few mins, see how you go running the games (Doesnt matter that they run like shit). If you don't shut down then you've got a PSU problem and you need to be supplying more gogo juice.
>>677272796
Im 99% sure it isnt gpu as i use evga precision x16 to monitor both the temp of cpu and gpu and as saied, they stay at ~50/60 ℃ under preassure...

If you're stressing it for that long, then your hardware may not be the issue here.

I want to hook up an 8 inch floppy disk drive to a modern PC.
>>677273008
Update your BIOS
>>677272892
Take out the battery and plug in the power only. If the laptop boots then you need a new battery. If it doesn't boot then your power transformer is broken. Get a new one.
Your hard drive is probably cactus. Take it out and follow the warranty instructions on the maker's website. 5 year warranty on all internals.

replace hdd. no software
>>677273458
So maybe a fresh copy of win7... My harddrive may be failing. It was a rescued 1.5TB that was once dead. SSD here I come
>>677273273 sorry but thats very unlikely, bc i ran much more demanding games for 2 months straight without a problem, it always gave enough power...
My pc is broken bc is old as fuck, suggestions?
>>677273367
I'm not thinking that it's the GPU, merely the power going to it. Which is why I suggested removing it for that test. It's just a step for testing purposes
>>677273483
if i update the bios i get stuck on black screen and have to start again
>>677273531
Tough luck. You can buy new keyheads from internet vendors that come with detailed instructions on how to replace them.
Alternatively you can just buy a whole new keyboard - they're pretty simple to replace on laptops if you've got an hour spare.
>>677273611
PSU's degrade quickly. Give it a shot.
>>677273557
Some MoBo's have problems with certain CPUs, and they hang on boot at the spash screen. Usually fixed by updating the BIOS.
>>677270180
When i start my computer it says B2 in the corner with a black screen, after about 5minutes the screen suddenly fills up with different colored rectangles and then it boots up as normal.
help
>>677273603
That's a good possibility. Use an Ubuntu live DVD or USB and check the S.M.A.R.T. status of the drive as I described above.
got used hdd , 1tb , windows and bios is saying its bad hdd , but it works, why ?
>>677273763
I can't update the Bios though.
I recently built my own gaming rig and I had a sneaky idea. What if I get a mediocre dell/hp case and fill it with shitty parts and sell it as a used computer for XXX amount of dollars?
There has got to be a lot of dipshits who'll go on craigslist looking for a computer to look up porn and use word. Good idea or not?

>>677273882
Typically, it'll count the number of remapped sectors, meaning that it can't use those blocks of the drive. If the number is above a certain threshold, it throws up a flag and tells you it's bad. A low-level format may fix this temporarily, but it will likely fail sooner or later.
>>677273838
Reflash GPU BIOS
>>677273912
If you can't do the emergency BIOS recovery bullshit they put in these days then the board is fucked and you should RMA it.
>>677273977
Degrade isn't really the most accurate term. Basically they perform above spec for a while then once they heat up and cool down enough they settle into what you see on the spec sheets.

Is this a new board? As in did you buy an old board and put an old cpu in it and shit?
Or have you upgraded your old board with a new cpu and now it's taking a shit.
Or is there no change and it's just started happening.

Late 2011 Macbook pro, When reflowing the VGA on this board typically you will create a heatstop with aluminum foil to surround the chip while maintaining a constant 245c with your IR gun, I do it all the time. Here's my question OP, what intervals, and for how long, it's an NVIDIA chipset.

>>677274721
A few seconds at a time anon. You should just be able to pre-heat the board with a bunch of flux on it, make sure all the contacts are tinned then plonk the new chip on it.
Give it some more heat a blast at a time and you'll see the chip center itself magically when it gets to the right temperature.
>>677275061
Funky. I can only suggest checking the changelogs in the BIOS updates to see if there's any in there that mention fixing boot with x CPU installed. If you put your old i5 in there does it work again? It certainly sounds like either an incompatibility problem or a fucked CPU.
>>677275146
it is essential to sort waste before disposal
>>677270402
Sounds like your homepage is set to the wrong site. Go to your Chrome settings. One of the first settings should be "On startup". Select Open the New Tab page or whatever site you want.
If your search bar searches redirect you to a different search engine, you can change it under "Search", in the "Manage search engines..."
If the problem insists, look into your extensions. You might have something there that resets your settings into something you don't like.

>>677275250
Well if you're trying to play newer games on a 650 that's a lot of your problem. You need to upgrade. Either that or get a GPU tweaker and turn your fans max speed down, but on a card that old on brand new games you risk overheating problems.
boot up pc sometimes it says overclock failed press f2 blah blah blah. whats the problem? 99% of the time it runs fine
>>677270180
I went to sleep and had Windows 7, now I woke up and have win10

Might be some strange DHCP lease problem in the modem.
Try to install the latest firmware on it then restart.
>>677275610
Looks like that's the way to go. Definitely check the warranty on the board though. They're usually 3 years but you might have a 5 year if you're lucky.
>>677275658
You have an automated overclocking thing installed. Turn it off in your BIOS or find what it's called in windows and turn it off there. What make is your MoBo?

>>677276006
>>677276273
You have a debouncing problem in your mouse. This is an electrical problem in the guts of the thing.
You MIGHT be able to change it in the software for it, but if the option is not there then you need to get a new one.
Debouncing is where the little computer in the mouse ignores a second click right after the first within a certain time. It's usually such a short amount of time that you would never notice it, but if the debouncing is set to too long or off, you will start to get rogue clicks.
>>677276336

There's some bullshit that's installed from the CD that you can't turn off easily. It's fuckin' stupid.
In your start menu you'll see some sort of AI tweaker II thing mentioned. You have to go in there and disable the automatic overclocking. If it's not in there then you have to go into the advanced BIOS screen and turn it off in the boot section.
>>677276501

This shit happens at random times OP, help me please
>>677276832
It's not usually a problem but the program always tries to up the CPU voltage every time it boots, then runs a quick error test every time. When it fails the error test it bumps the voltage down a notch and does it again. That's the warning you're seeing.
Problem with overclocking is that it (the CPU and overclock) gets worse over time, so it's getting just a tiny bit slower every time as long as that overclocking is on. When you turn it off it'll just go back to normal and you probably won't notice any difference.
>>677277134
Make sure you have the RAM in the right slots. They're usually marked 1A 1B 1C 2A 2B 2C and so on. You want the sticks to be in 1A 2A 3A and so on, moving onto 1B 2B 3B and so forth.
Also update BIOS.

You need to put the lowest clocked stick in the slot closest to the cpu, then the rest will run at the same speed. You probably fried your ram by not doing that.

You have Wake-On-Lan enabled. When you go to sleep tonight unplug your LAN cable and see how it goes. You can turn this off in the BIOS settings under boot options.
>>677277851
Computer lockup. Does it bluescreen or just loop like that. If it's just looping then check power/PSU.
>>677277676
i did, still the same. if its ram, thats weird cause it didnt happen before
>>677277851
Is it only Netflix, or would the same thing happen if you were using Hulu? You can make a free account to test it. If it's only online videos, not likely a hardware error.
>>677277812
Common problem, my brother's does that, he hasn't fixed it though.
>>677278031
Does anything else lag or is it just the browsers?
>>677277962
Get rid of Windows
>>677277794
Yea I tried that but it doesn't show up for some reason.
I have a problem were i wanted to go back to 8.1 but it was too late i was lazy but i still have the oldwindows.folder with system32 in it is there any way to go back to 8.1 from 10
>>677277975
Pork mom?

I have this issue with firefox, it doesnt let me load any youtube video and everytime i use google it says shit like this shit is not safe even google itself, had no problems with chrome and safari
>>677277812
My wife's does that on 7. See if your BIOS has an update available from the computer manufacturer's website.
>>677277962
Install Gentoo.
>>677277608
Yeah windows runs just fine when the game is windowed mode, and when i'm alt tabbed out.
>>677278159
I haven;t done much research into this but, there may a way to delete it through the command prompt. Sometimes you don't have access to the files even if you are the admin.
At random times while I'm using my computer, my primary monitor (I have 2) will just go black and I can't see anything unless I restart my computer.
>>677278001
Doesn't bluescreen. Just turns to the color that is most present on the screen i guess? Or maybe it is random. I have gotten green and brown as far as I can remember. Happened once when I was playing Battlefront too. This sucks I only got the computer in november
>>677278278
Try a live dvd and see if it freezes. You may have a failing HDD.

Install Gentoo.
Less of a pc problem, more of a chrome problem.
on 4chan mostly, i can't image hover or click webms, it says 404 file not found and shows a small black box, rather than the webm, the only way i can play it is by opening it in a new tab, any suggestions?
>>677278133
This is worse than i thought!! I need an IBM 5100 and a super hacker to stop them
When i play heavy games like GTA V,Skyrim i get these loud beeping noises from time to time,other than that,nothing.How do i fix this beeping?
>>677278217
No.
>>677278278
Not really. It could be some sort of self test that it's failing. Check for overclocking software.
It could also be a power problem, like the PSU is shorting and taking a few turns to fire up correctly, or you have a fucked fan in there that's causing problems. Unplug things until it starts working.
>>677278451
Download and run FurMark for half an hour. If it doesn't happen again then get your PSU checked.
>>677278424
Swap monitor plugs on the GPU, see if the blank screen swaps sides. If it doesn't then you've got a fucked monitor.
>>677278461
I've fixed that on my s4 by installing vlc from the play store, but the same fix didn't work on the tab 2.
>>677278294
Slow internet?
>>677278531
i've checked the cables multiple times and the monitor is fine. It'll happen maybe once every couple of days then it works fine afterwards
>>677278572
Use Firefox.
>>677278653
i can't stand firefox, is there a way to fix it or not
>>677278643
Nope, I have no problems with other browsers, and I have reinstalled firefox several times
>>677270180
My gpu is artifacting and crashing when i play games.Can you fix it?
>>677278621
Good idea I added a couple cheap fans recently. Didn't even think of that. Thanks!
>>677278708
Nope. Only option is Firefox or Iceweasel.
>>677278736
update gpu driver or downgrade it if its the current one.
>>677278736
Check temps
>>677278554
Gentoo, which a mighty fine flavor of Linux, is a bit heavy for new users to Linux to have to compile and learn. Ubuntu, Mint, or Elementary is a better place to start.
>>677278708
have you tried reinstalling chrome?
this really faded activate windows thing wont go away.
Weird issue, when I first load a video (gif, gfy, mp4, avi whatever) the colors are really dark and sometimes pixellated. Upgraded vid card and didn't fix the issue. After a few seconds the problem corrects itself, but this is the first pc i've encountered this problem.
>>677270931

When I play intense games like witcher 3 and elite dangerous, when there's a lot going on the audio will go 'gravelly' like Geralt is stuttering and the music goes to shit and skips like an old Walkman. Drivers are all updated and I even tried a roll back to no avail. Thoughts?

>>677278847
Did u upgrade or install fresh?
>>677278754
No wakka's anon! Best of luck.
>>677278736
Update drivers and run FurMark for half an hour. If it starts artifacting and/or crashing then your GPU is fucked, RMA or replace it.
>>677278847
Is your windows actually activated?
>>677278847
right click the taskbar. properties, customize. you can turn off all windows 10 shite from there.
>>677278855
What other specs are you dealing with?
>>677274834
It's a shitty viao laptop, internal onboard card. Could be loose
>>677274964
Sometimes works in edge and shit, so when i watch youtube if it happens i swap over to that. Also happens with videos from my pc, with the webcam, stuff like that

>>677279077
Unplug your speakers/headphones
>>677279077
Is it from your computers internal 8 bit speaker or your actual PC speakers? If it's your internal one you might have a serious problem. Take note of the code (3 short, 1 long, etc) and google it.
>>677279130
It's not good but not fatal
>>677278932
Sometimes happens when the bitrate of the audio being output by your computer can't keep up with the audio chips processing. Right click volume controller, playback devices, find default audio device in list (green tick), double click it, advanced tab, change default format up or down until it works.
>>677279077
Does the beeping noise come from the box itself? If so, it's probably a temperature warning.

If you've barely touched anything in win 10 then it's probably faster (and safer) to just format and reinstall 8.1

>>677279330
+1 to Fractal Design and Noctua. Good stuff.
>>677279348
Technically yes, but there will be some bullshit driver block in there to stop you from doing it. Example: gtx7XXm mobile cards had shadowplay encoding on the chip but the drivers wouldn't let them run, even though the hardware was present.
>>677279429
New IT jobs are tricky. You have to work your way up. Get a shit PC sales job for a year, ask to be put in service. Do service for a year, get a new job in corporate IT. Use corporate IT money to train yourself and get certs. Use certs to get new job and make bank.

How do i reinstall windows 8.1i dont have the code it came already installed and i updated to 10 not fresh 677270180#
>>677279986
I don't think you can unless you have the product key. If not you can install windows 7 through the repository (for free)
>>677279986
Windows 10's that are upgraded from 8.1 have the code hidden in them, and you can use that code to reinstall 8.1. Google search how to extract the windows key then just reinstall 8.1 with it.
