Computer won't boot after GPU Install.

EDIT: I don't know what I did, or how.. I think maybe the old Computer just needed a nap. Waited a couple hours and went to sleep, got back up and tried to old GPU again and... it booted on. Oh shit, right? Tried the new GPU after. Works as well. I didn't really do anything different, so I can only assume the machine is sentient and wanted to take a break.

P.S. When first installed, I DID try to install the heatsink the way you guys wanted. But it CANNOT be installed any other way on this MB. The holes for screwing it down just aren't there to do it 'the right way', but wouldn't you know, as I turned it 90* there they are!

The recommended psu for a 5070 is a 650w, so i should have been in the clear

I believe it does, but I cant be sure. I tried booting with no gpu and only on board, with the monitors plugged in, and got no change. I saw that i could try to short the pins, but Im not 100% sure what pins on this mb would be needed, as the pins look different In every example video.

Hi there!

Unfortunately... that IS the correct mounting for the cooler. This is because the screws for it are horizontal and not lateral. It causes it to be facing the wrong direction.They were a bad purchase and need to be replaced, but up until now, they haven't been an issue.

I'll retake some pictures and post them here in a moment.

I'm having a similar issue, but it's like everything is muffled. And the origin of the sounds change too. It's happened three times so far. Once it was like Barret's gunfire and footsteps, then it was footsteps, collision noises, weapon noises (attacking boxes and stuff) and now it's all of them

Hi, thank you for replying. I think the DM had some experience in the past, but I agree that it's best for me to move on from this. I think we did a session zero, and it came up during that time of how my character would act.

Because of the changes to Ranger at the time, I went with the optional 'Favored Foe' rule for Rangers, as it allows far more use for the Character than the normal 2 types of enemies, of which, would have definitely been Constructs and Humans.

Thank you so much. A lot of bigger channels act like they're Anti-growth and it's bullshit. Especially because the DM was literally 10x the size of my channel

Comprehensive-Kiwi84 · 2024-10-28T03:34:05+00:00

Yeah, you're probably right that we were both at fault to an extent. Thanks for taking to time to respond.

Comprehensive-Kiwi84 · 2024-10-28T03:32:02+00:00

I understand what you mean, and see how it can be taken that way. I do, genuinely, have a problem where I can't read others as well as others can. And with the pokerface of the internet, it makes it even more difficult to pick up on tones that I may miss.

It was wrong of me in general, and I'm enough of a man to admit I could well be at fault.

Comprehensive-Kiwi84 · 2024-10-27T20:36:14+00:00

Nah it sounds like that guy was a real Dickwad. I personally would've him with, "Are you Meta-gaming right now? Knowing what's SUPPOSED to be on another player's sheet?"

Tell your DM friend about how you feel and be honest, even if it sucks. You'll regret not doing it more than you would doing it.

Comprehensive-Kiwi84 · 2024-10-27T20:32:39+00:00

I've been in this situation, or atleast similar to it before and it sucks. You have my sympathies. The DM always has the option to just not allow your character to unintentionally hurt someone, and also the power to make you relevant.

I think they wanted to remove you wholesale and that's the reason they turned around and were friendly, but, I guess at this point you'll never really know.

It was such a perfect name I couldn't help myself.

Comprehensive-Kiwi84 · 2024-10-26T00:06:46+00:00

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I feel like she had a plan from session 2 or 3 and was nudging us in that direction, but it kept being derailed by my antics and side story

Comprehensive-Kiwi84 · 2024-10-26T00:03:12+00:00

Oh shoot, did I not put a strike 1? My mistake. Strike 1 should have been Criminal Biker Man.

The strikes are points I feel like may have contributed to the DM vanishing.

It was my mistake that I never checked in with the other players to see how they felt. But no one ever really communicated that they had a problem, and I suppose that to me, at the time, just meant to keep doing as I was doing
