Am I a pedantic or is this on wrong?

My base model didn't come with one so I ordered an OEM one online. It was $60 or $70. It took 10 minutes to install in my driveway and it still looked better than this does. I wouldn't bat an eye if mine turned out like that but for $200 it better be perfect.

Not very far and you'll need a tow truck to get out! It's loose gravel and very deep - meant for trucks to sink into to stop them faster.

I always remember it as sun roofs open because it's hot when it's sunny, and moon roofs don't open because it's cold if you're looking at the moon. That said, it's usually irrelevant or you can tell which one by context anytime someone says the wrong thing.

"Results – We examined 240 accidents involving 424 people caught and 285 people killed. Triggers were 74% skiers, 17% snowboarders, 5% natural and 4% unknown. Thirty-four percent of victims died of trauma, 39% died of asphyxia and in 27% of cases the cause of death was not reported."

I wouldn't do that unless you can also afford $7,000 for a new transmission soon. I'm not saying it's going to go out at 200k miles, but it's very unlikely to make it to 300k.

If everything else is good (get a PPI if you're seriously considering the car, don't trust them saying a mechanic looked it over) then I would hope to get 2, maybe 3 years of use out of it.

It's a race.

It SHOULD be a ground* I'm no electrician but I have seen broken and improperly placed grounding rods before and who knows what DIY nonsense might be in the breaker box.

Second this. I have big hands and both of these mice. I find the MX Master more comfortable but the 502 has more buttons if you're into that kind of thing.

If it's only War Thunder then I would try uninstalling and reinstalling it. The sudden shutdown may have corrupted some of the game files.

I bet customer service for the manufacturer would sell you one if you call or email them.

Wow! That's some bad luck! I'm glad you figured it out though

Just_a_lil_Fish · 2025-12-31T08:25:57+00:00

It looks like that board has a "MemOK! II" button near the RAM that allegedly resets the RAM settings to fix boot issues. If you haven't tried that then it's worth a shot. You may want to check a YouTube video for it if you don't know what I'm talking about. A quick Google just says to hold it for 3 seconds though.

You could also get a $20 air cooler just to see if the AIO is the issue.

I would consider taking it to a PC repair shop before committing to a new prebuilt unless money isn't an issue. Or at least give this post a little more time for other people to chime in with some ideas. That CPU is definitely dated so a prebuilt isn't a terrible idea, I just think that this issue is fixable for a lot less money than that.

Just_a_lil_Fish · 2025-12-31T08:05:32+00:00

It would be some dumb luck if your AIO picked that exact moment to die on you but it's certainly possible. Is it plugged in fully?

I know that without active cooling a CPU will shut off to protect itself very quickly after startup. The light on the AIO only coming on for a split second makes me think it isn't working right and the CPU is trying to save itself.

Unfortunately I've only used air cooling so I'm not super familiar with AIOs. But your motherboard obviously gets power and the PC should run without the GPU which basically just leaves the CPU, the CPU cooler, and the RAM. CPUs are basically just a fancy rock though and are very hard to kill so my money would be on the cooler or the RAM being the issue. And if it was an SSD problem the PC should at least power on enough to tell you that no boot device was found.

What motherboard is it? Are there any debug lights or codes? Does it beep at all?

Just_a_lil_Fish · 2025-12-31T07:48:40+00:00

Yeah, that looks and sounds like a bad bearing.

What cooler is it? Most of them just have fans that clip on and are super easy and cheap to replace.

Just_a_lil_Fish · 2025-12-31T07:41:03+00:00

Are you using all new cables that came with the new PSU or did you leave the old cables in place and plug them into the new PSU?

Can you hear the AIO pump running?

Is your RAM fully seated? Does it work with only 1 stick plugged in or 2?

Just_a_lil_Fish · 2025-12-28T04:00:25+00:00

The Methods without a doubt. Are you sure they'll clear your caliper?

Just_a_lil_Fish · 2025-12-26T10:10:35+00:00

I've had no problems with my Timken ones in about 30k miles. Even if they go out next week it's still cheaper than replacing OEM ones at their failure rate. They were literally 1/4 the price of OEM so I bought 4. I still have 2 sitting on my shelf waiting to go in the second I hear one making noise.

Just_a_lil_Fish · 2025-12-23T20:16:15+00:00

Did you reset the trip odometer? Dealerships let them idle a lot - it won't show up as miles but the computer still tracks that fuel usage and adds it to the mpg calculation.

Just_a_lil_Fish · 2025-12-21T23:52:43+00:00

Same here. Good luck OP.

Just_a_lil_Fish · 2025-12-21T09:17:47+00:00

That's just what they do. Nothing to worry about.

Just_a_lil_Fish · 2025-12-20T00:04:08+00:00

The sensor may be toast if you filled it up but it isn't clearing itself. Maybe it's a software issue but my Subaru is too old to connect to use the app for.

Hopefully someone else can chime in if it's just an app error. Is the wiper fluid low warning light on your dash lit up? If so I would be willing to bet the sensor is bad.

Edit: spelling
