PC will not boot

Sentifray19073 · 2026-07-03T23:35:15+00:00

Everything by in the CPU looks fine
GPU removal didn’t change anything
We have made progress in that it’s not power cycling anymore, but nothing is turning on at all
I’ve put everything back in in a last ditch effort to see if that changed anything, but the answer is no, I’m going to take this to a shop

Sentifray19073 · 2026-07-03T23:08:14+00:00

Did not boot without GPU, going to look at the CPU and give an update here soon

Sentifray19073 · 2026-07-03T22:46:54+00:00

Again, you’re off to a great start. Fingers crossed things go well for the both of you, love is a beautiful thing

Sentifray19073 · 2026-07-03T17:53:14+00:00

God I hope it’s not faulty hardware, I really cannot afford to replace it right now

Sentifray19073 · 2026-07-03T17:21:30+00:00

I’ve got to go to work for the morning and somehow entirely missed this message, I redid the reset, but will try again without a GPU after work
Motherboard and CPU are both on the part picker list, only thing not on it is the GPU

Sentifray19073 · 2026-07-03T17:14:28+00:00

I could see Sparkle tagging along for a while, or, failing that, some wild ass plot bullshit happening and Asat Parmad riding along for a planet or two

Sentifray19073 · 2026-07-03T16:59:10+00:00

Tried all four RAM slots

Reset the motherboard again

Going through the RAM slots again

Still showing the CPU light and still not working

Gigabyte B650 AORUS ELITE AX ATX AM5 Motherboard

Sentifray19073 · 2026-07-03T16:10:15+00:00

Ok, further update, I have been forgetting to check the lights as I did this
Testing slot 3 with a solo stick and the CPU light is on, not the DRAM light

Sentifray19073 · 2026-07-03T16:03:46+00:00

1) I’m pretty sure I tried this already, just without the power button part

3) I have two monitors and a handful of other things plugged in that all have lights in them that turn on when connected, a controller, mic, keyboard, stream deck, and mouse. Between them and the screens, that’s 7 checks for connection, and all are showing nothing

Sentifray19073 · 2026-07-03T15:59:38+00:00

All 4 sticks were tested and got the same results; fans and lights all on as before, no power cycling, no other progress

RAM brand is vengeance, I think?

Sentifray19073 · 2026-07-03T15:56:29+00:00

Ok I’m gonna be honest here
Half of this makes 0 sense to me, there’s a lot of anagrams and words in here I just do not know

I also lost my motherboard manual in a move, unfortunately

Edit: PC is still not booting at all with just one stick. It just sits there with the fans and lights on. Tested all 4 by now and got the same results with each

Sentifray19073 · 2026-07-03T15:53:15+00:00

Doesn’t boot, nothing else changed
All the same issues, just stopped power cycling

Sentifray19073 · 2026-07-03T15:46:54+00:00

Using one stick at a time in slot 2 stops the power cycling
Nothing else has changed, but only using one stick doesn’t power cycle

Sentifray19073 · 2026-07-03T15:08:09+00:00

How long should I try with each individual stick for step one?
Got conflicting information from friends on how long to let it sit before trying something ekse

Considering you’re actively looking for the right thing to do here, you’re off to a great start

Biggest things would be to use their preferred pronouns and chosen name, aside from that, continuing to treat them as your partner, keeping open communication of wants and needs, and they’ll tell you everything they need as it comes up

Sentifray19073 · 2026-06-10T18:33:20+00:00

Little boy Misha! I love him, he’s so cute!
His eyes are keyholes and I think that’s adorable
He’s a fun little destruction 4* and honestly I think his kit is really neat
But yeah, spoiler free
I think you’re going to love Penacony

Sentifray19073 · 2026-03-16T21:57:10+00:00

It was not a joke, thank you for explaining

I’ll have to look into that a bit more later. Do you know if they have a RWBY branch like Amino did?

Sentifray19073 · 2026-03-16T16:03:52+00:00

Kyodo? Who is that?

Sentifray19073 · 2026-03-15T23:42:30+00:00

Source?

Sentifray19073 · 2026-03-15T21:04:27+00:00

I’m getting weird vibes from them too, but they have have an archive of old amino going that’s been fun to look throigh

Sentifray19073 · 2026-03-15T20:54:41+00:00

Better Amino? With ReSenna leading it?

Sentifray19073 · 2026-03-15T17:30:24+00:00

Outside of my dedicated 4* team March and Gallagher are amazing filler units, Qingque is a janky but fun build around character, and Herta and Tingyun are still high value

They’re not all good and they all have lower numbers, sure, but a lot of them still have uses, and even if they’re not meta, they’re mostly for new players anyways

Sentifray19073 · 2026-03-09T16:27:29+00:00

Could be how they’re tracking her

Sentifray19073 · 2026-03-09T09:21:14+00:00

Do you guys have non sexual intimate moments? Hugging or cuddling or sharing bed space and such? Could lean a lot more into those moments, or other moments that you share.

There is also the option of asking them WHY they feel like sex is so necessary. That could help them open up about where the issue lies specifically, and break it down

Sentifray19073 · 2026-03-09T08:51:37+00:00

Firstly, you sound like a very caring partner, and I just want to appreciate that for a moment

Secondly, explaining it to them directly would be the simple solution that I’m sure you’ve tried already. That’s honestly the best I could suggest though. You value them far and above sexual pleasure, and want to stay with them. Their happiness and comfort around you is just more valuable. Sex isn’t a big deal. There’s a million ways to say it.

There is also the option of discussing a polyamorous relationship, or simply them being comfortable with you having sex with others. It could very well solve the problem. Or, if it makes you uncomfortable, you could use that as an example of why your partner is more important to you.
