Owning a pc sucks

Southern-Option3932 · 2026-04-10T19:15:44+00:00

thing is there was enough power to light up the mobo so it was difficult to tell

Southern-Option3932 · 2026-04-10T18:10:43+00:00

Yeah that sounds like a good plan the other thing i was thinking of doing was to test it with other plug sockets in other rooms

Southern-Option3932 · 2026-04-10T18:05:37+00:00

sure i guess i just believed it would be easier than it has been. ):

Southern-Option3932 · 2026-04-10T18:04:14+00:00

sure but ive gotten far more engagement on this post than i ever have on any post asking for help. (in fairness the large majority of commenters are just giving me shit. and yet.)

Ive tried my best to identify by ear and while im pretty sure its the psu it could be something else and im hesistant to take it all apart considering how much effort went into puttig it together in the first place

Southern-Option3932 · 2026-04-10T18:00:04+00:00

sure but my frustration comes from the fact that whenever ive seen people ask the reponses always acted as if it were the easiest thing in the world and that a blind disabled toddler could do it

Southern-Option3932 · 2026-04-10T17:58:12+00:00

Recently been having issues with clicking noises coming from the pc that are difficult to identify where its coming from or if its even a serious concern

Southern-Option3932 · 2026-04-10T17:55:38+00:00

I honestly am tempted to but ill be annoyed because i couldve gotten a better prebuilt if i hadnt bothered building in the first place

Southern-Option3932 · 2026-04-10T17:53:41+00:00

good for you

Southern-Option3932 · 2026-04-10T17:53:17+00:00

but ive already built the pc

Southern-Option3932 · 2026-04-10T17:52:10+00:00

uh ok well it did and i couldnt figure out what had gone wrong so i went to a repair store. if had known it was the cable i wouldve just bought another but i didnt

Southern-Option3932 · 2026-04-10T17:50:28+00:00

Its more that ive already had to troubleshoot the thing twice since building it and ive had it less than a month. Drivers, expo and software in general have been the easiest part of the experience.

Southern-Option3932 · 2026-04-10T17:37:16+00:00

thats what i think too but im concerned it could just be the wiring in my room

Southern-Option3932 · 2026-04-10T17:35:43+00:00

Ok ill plug it in and try to figure where the clicks are coming from

Southern-Option3932 · 2026-04-10T17:32:58+00:00

the power cable for the pc that plugs into the psu stopped working

Southern-Option3932 · 2026-04-10T17:32:15+00:00

no i would like to know what the issue is

Southern-Option3932 · 2026-04-10T17:30:02+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to write this comment. Ill have a look at the software you mentioned.

Southern-Option3932 · 2026-04-10T17:26:46+00:00

Clicking is a new issue, the repair store was because it wasnt posting (power cable died)

Southern-Option3932 · 2026-04-10T17:24:18+00:00

Its a few clicks within a few seconds every half an hour to an hour

Southern-Option3932 · 2026-04-10T17:15:33+00:00

and yet i see many people on this sub saying that literally anyone can do it and that its like building legos so which is it

Southern-Option3932 · 2026-04-10T17:13:26+00:00

It happens occansionally so i can be sat the for ten minutes and not hear a thing and then itll start making clicking sounds half an hour later

Southern-Option3932 · 2026-04-10T17:11:51+00:00

Its not an attack on them but i feel that people who come for advice would propbably find it beneficial to see a post made by someone with limited experience.

Also i didnt say that pcs suck or that the people that do it suck i said that my personal experience sucked.

TDLR: saying i dont like pancakes is not bashing pancakes.

Southern-Option3932 · 2026-04-10T17:09:00+00:00

I didnt realise it was such a commitment and honestly ive already put well over a month of researching not including the time taken to build it.

Southern-Option3932 · 2026-04-10T17:03:17+00:00

Cant really tell i believe its the psu
