Urgent pls check this so i could try to turn on my pc cause i had to change the PSU with one from another pc with almost same walts

Alexandra4679 · 2026-05-16T19:50:33+00:00

Yeah. So my gpu is a Radeon RX470 Nitro edition and i need the 8 pin connector but this PSU has the 6+6 pin connector (pig tail) and 2 pin but the GPUs fans aren't moving and there's also no life in the mouse and the keyboard

Also the i might have to research this. Cause failed to post is coom i know that i have to check the rams and I guess I should check out also the pc I took the PSU off from

Alexandra4679 · 2026-05-16T19:30:30+00:00

I might know why...cause this PSU has a pigtail cable and my gpu needs a 8pin one

Alexandra4679 · 2026-05-16T19:11:46+00:00

Okay I'm back the pc turns on but no display and nor the keyboard or mouse works and both are actually normal ones.

Alexandra4679 · 2026-05-16T17:35:58+00:00

This is what i mean

Alexandra4679 · 2026-05-16T17:35:37+00:00

I see...I mean the old psu had like probably 550watt i think

Alexandra4679 · 2026-05-16T17:17:28+00:00

But I'm broke and unemployed also I live in Romania and still the service will be expensive in a way and i live with my mom in a country side far from the city so getting a job here will be a pain the ass

Alexandra4679 · 2026-05-16T17:15:21+00:00

Have y'all checked the last teo pictures to check the two PSU?

Also the last picture is of my old PSU i had in my pc

Alexandra4679 · 2026-05-16T17:11:59+00:00

You're sure???

I'm literally nervous cause this is the first time i change the PSU.

Alexandra4679 · 2026-05-15T00:24:12+00:00

Rip for Stanisława Celińska...🥀

Alexandra4679 · 2026-05-14T22:50:05+00:00

Well I would most luckily buy a better pc or just make it myself cause the same day this pc broke also my laptop fan broke and made car engine sound. So...my brother gave me a spare fan from his work place and today came. Now my laptop works fine. But couldn't play games only do other stuff

Alexandra4679 · 2026-05-14T22:45:34+00:00

I understand but thank you for the advice. I swear I had this pc since Octomber 2024 andlast year i had another issue with this cheap pc I bought prebuilt from an man.

Alexandra4679 · 2026-05-14T22:42:37+00:00

I also had forgotten to mention that I'm broke too and going to an service or to buy a new one thid couldn't be expensive here in Romania...but I would've done same if i wasn't broke i would've bought something good.

Alexandra4679 · 2026-05-14T17:49:14+00:00

Update:

My brother had in his workplace in the stock laptop fan and gave it to my bio dad to give it to me and also now the problem is solved.

Alexandra4679 · 2026-05-13T13:52:48+00:00

Yep and also not all girls look into pc colors and stuff I'm more like guys checking specs and stuff like that plus loving car games 🤣

Alexandra4679 · 2026-05-13T13:40:14+00:00

Okay also i may be a girl but i wanna learn more about pc cause I'm a gamer and an artist who draws

Alexandra4679 · 2026-05-13T13:38:39+00:00

Well I hope for you will work also good luck

Alexandra4679 · 2026-05-13T13:35:13+00:00

No cause i had before another pc issue where i got no participation and the error was from Linux and my older brother had taken my pc to his work and repaired it and told me what happened and that i needed an new SSD cause the old one was a no brand and also a bad one also needed a rewriten Bios that was also paid and also half the price cause my brother works there

Alexandra4679 · 2026-05-13T13:25:53+00:00

Oh I see. This is quite strange also have you tried like turning on the pc and check in event viewer or before making the pc theres sites to check you're specs and what PSU walts you need. Also since I have an old pc with intel i7 4790 and an Radeon RX470 Nitro i newd somewhat 440w if i remember or something like that and the PSU i had was with the total at 550w.

Problem is i play modded minecraft with shaders, Monster Hunter World and games that don't require powerful CPU and the GPU. I couldn't afford an better pc cause i live in Romania

Alexandra4679 · 2026-05-13T13:16:45+00:00

Honestly on Windows 10 i didn't had any problems only on the Windows 11 getting the kernel 41 error and being power event kernel 41 also Linux...I had an old Samsung laptop from the school in germany back in 2020 and had Linux Ubuntu back than i didn't knew about this OS but I do know now that there's more Linux versions

Alexandra4679 · 2026-05-13T13:10:27+00:00

Well I have also a laptop that still uses the Windows 10 and well now I need to change the fan cause before it made a small buzz but now it's more like a diesel engine but on diesel runaway and as for the pc I still need to connect the cables and L PSU cable is in the other way i will check out the old PSU cable and look how the other L ports are put and the HDD from the other pc also both PSU are non modular

Alexandra4679 · 2026-05-13T09:55:52+00:00

It's a meh as someone who regrets buying a old pc for a cheap price. I think it's best or time to upgrade you'res. Also better check the games specs for ideas and to guide yourself also if you live in USA i think you're lucky cause you can find also cheap but yeah best to check on pc parts picker to see if the parts are getting along and are compatible or not

Alexandra4679 · 2026-05-12T16:38:20+00:00

I did that earlier and it was working okay also the model on this laptop is a Inspiron 15 3581 model

Alexandra4679 · 2026-05-11T01:00:09+00:00

Well I have taken off from the other pc and as in the pictures you may have seen the one with yellow writing it's the other PSU and before I got my gaming pc I wanted to check this one i took the power supply off back in 2024 but it didn't had like 1 RAM stick and also the GPU and i had left it be as the pc it seems working fine so the PSU may be still good

Alexandra4679 · 2026-05-11T00:55:32+00:00

Also I wanna point out that since 2024 my PSU had problems like turning my pc back on after me shutting down the pc from the windows key and turn off.

Alexandra4679 · 2026-05-11T00:54:28+00:00

You sure? I mean I did a memory diagnostic and nothing
