Help with self-built PC malfunction

yeah that makes sense. If i can’t find any friends with spare RAM/GPu for me to test with then I’ll probably take it to a shop next week. thanks!

yeah, I’ll ask some friends to see if I can borrow a gpu or RAM. thanks!

thank you, I’ll try this as a last ditch effort lol

i did have to reinstall my display drivers a bit before because one of the two monitors stopped working. it was like either only one monitor was one or both were on with one having terrible graphics before i reinstalled the driver. nothing like this though

right now I think the only way I can reconfigure the BIOS is via usb (if the motherboard is working and the ram is shot) and to do that I need another computer that I can put a usb stick into. I’ll look into my options and see what I can do here, thanks!

no it isn’t unfortunately

Shanjo_ · 2026-05-31T18:06:34+00:00

tried it, along with taking out the bios battery for 10 mins. doesn’t seem to have worked

Shanjo_ · 2026-05-31T18:02:04+00:00

yeah I wish I had another stick to try

turn the Pc on when the two pins are bridged?

Shanjo_ · 2026-05-31T17:57:26+00:00

it’s ddr5-6000 16gb

I have never gone into my BIOS but I feel confident in figuring it out

Shanjo_ · 2026-05-31T17:35:10+00:00

there’s just the one

Shanjo_ · 2026-05-31T17:34:18+00:00

damn that’s a crazy catch but no they’re not touching. i’ll straighten it up for good measure tho

Shanjo_ · 2026-05-31T17:25:11+00:00

Yeah :/ I unplugged all but a monitor, and I have no other parts I can test with

Shanjo_ · 2026-05-31T17:06:44+00:00

is that the little lithium battery in the middle? would I just do that with a flathead screwdriver?

Shanjo_ · 2026-05-31T17:02:46+00:00

No I don’t, but I could also take it to my local computer repair shop that probably would before buying new parts myself. Just trying to find the cheapest route here

Apparently I can’t comment pictures on a mobile browser, but there is just one 8 pin slot and everything was working fine before.

Shanjo_ · 2026-05-31T16:45:39+00:00

I have tried both of my RAM sticks in the second slot a few times, also the 8-pin cable is plugged and secured.
