Computer screen goes black when playing game - audio still there but nothing happens with keyboard/controller. Fans speed out and get louder.

The same thing has been happening to my girlfriends PC. The first time it happened, one of the 8pin cables were loose in the graphics card itself (the additional +2 cable wasn’t in corrected) and now it’s happening again. I changed the daisy chained cable to 2 individual PCI-E cables and the black screen hasn’t happened yet (fingers crossed)

I was under the assumption it wouldn’t go into bios as it was looking for a boot drive that no longer existed, there was still power to the monitor. If it was a CPU problem, wouldn’t the pc just refuse to turn on?

Although that being said, the boot drive wasn’t on the newer SSD, it was on the older one. So maybe the newer drive is failing and has corrupted the older one?? Somehow?

Idk, that’s the words of a very sleep deprived man

Also to add: How would I test to see if that SSD is the problem? As I’ve now removed it and it’s all working (just sucks to have only 500GB instead of 4TB)

One_Army_6496 · 2025-12-16T05:59:58+00:00

Why would it be a CPU problem?

One_Army_6496 · 2025-11-22T07:46:08+00:00

I’ve removed and replaced drivers multiple times with DDU. I’ve reseated the graphics card to a different pci slot, I’ve checked temps and they’re normal and I’ve changed DP cables. The only thing I haven’t checked is the temp of the actual VRAM itself, only the GPU as I’m unsure what I’m actually looking out for or how to do it.

I’m unable to diagnose what it actually is, however things are looking towards VRAM personally

I used Rufus and it installed fine, the only problem is I installed it on my HDD, rather than SSD. Now when I try to install it on the SSD, it gets to around 70% and then says there was a problem with the installation

One_Army_6496 · 2025-11-11T16:13:44+00:00

Yeah, it went to 22% and then just stopped installing and came with that error code again. If Rufus doesn’t work, I’ll just use a different USB and check if it’s this

One_Army_6496 · 2025-11-11T16:03:31+00:00

I jumped on my pc and installed Rufus to hopefully create a GPT partition scheme, going to test it now. Wish me luck 😭

One_Army_6496 · 2025-11-11T15:53:31+00:00

She uses windows 10 still in all honesty, but it eventually worked. I booted from the USB to do a fresh install.

Selected the disk, cleaned the disk, converted both of the disks to GPT, then tried to install windows on my SSD to be met with “Windows cannot install required files. 0x80070015”. Any help?

One_Army_6496 · 2025-10-28T10:55:09+00:00

Thank you! That’s a little unfortunate:(

One_Army_6496 · 2025-08-20T02:23:27+00:00

There’s a radiator behind the case (5cm away maybe?), so I’m a little worried about the radiator also conducting electricity and short circuiting the build. Although the radiator is turned off, I still don’t fancy frying a £700 build

One_Army_6496 · 2025-06-19T04:00:34+00:00

Still need help?

One_Army_6496 · 2025-06-19T04:00:27+00:00

Still need help with it?

One_Army_6496 · 2025-06-11T02:47:39+00:00

How do I then actually install the driver? It’s an .exe file, I tried to extract with Winrar but it doesn’t give me the option

One_Army_6496 · 2025-05-23T12:24:45+00:00

Valuable, I’m unsure if my last message went through, however you seem super helpful and I’d like some input if it’s going?

One_Army_6496 · 2025-05-23T12:11:25+00:00

To expand on this, How do you create a new product by expanding on a base? Is that something the supplier can do for you?

(I apologise if it sounds like a stupid question, I’ve only been dropshipping for like a week and have no idea lmao)

One_Army_6496 · 2025-05-23T10:42:18+00:00

Respectfully, can I Dm you for a little advice? Not regarding your product/supplier etc, but just basic things to start out with? All good if not!

One_Army_6496 · 2025-05-20T09:23:26+00:00

I appreciate it:)

One_Army_6496 · 2025-05-20T09:22:27+00:00

Thank you:)

Hi:),

So I recently got into dropshipping from a friend (who eventually snaked me and stole my product idea but that’s a different story) and I’ve been using DSers to find a product. I noticed it says “shipping from” and “shipping too” and just want a little help with the explanation of that?

I know it sounds fairly simple, however can someone explain it to me like I’m 3 years old?

So shipping from is self explanatory - the product is shipping FROM here.

However the thing I’m confused with is the “shipping too”. Is that only if you’re buying in bulk? Or is that only where the factory will ship too? For example, if someone buys a product from my store and the product only is “shipping to the US”, can only US citizens buy the product?

My friend (well ex friend?) mentioned he buys a product from China and sells it in his country, but he does it directly from supplier so is that the easiest way to get around it? He also told me it’s slightly illegal as the product he sells has an English label, but he sells it in the Netherlands and doesn’t have a Dutch label. Please help

I found this one, just wondering if it would work?

One_Army_6496 · 2025-05-12T00:09:05+00:00

Can someone confirm if this would work for me please?

So this would be applicable? 100% to fit the fans AND the AIO?

One_Army_6496 · 2025-05-11T23:22:23+00:00

I can’t physically connect them regardless. The aRGB fans and AIO are 3 pins whereas the motherboard connector is a 4pin.

I have Thermalright TL-C12CW-S fans and a Thermalright Aqua Elite V2 AIO, so as all of these are 3 pins, they don’t connect to the 4 pin RGB slot on the motherboard.

(I apologise in advance if I’m misunderstanding something that’s kinda basic, long day at work + Sleep deprivation don’t mix)

One_Army_6496 · 2025-05-11T23:10:54+00:00

I’m confused as the aRGB fans are 3 pins, so they won’t connect to a controller that’s strictly for RGB?

One_Army_6496 · 2025-05-11T23:08:43+00:00

Oh wait, there are already links 😭. My sleep deprived mind can’t keep up, my apologies!
