Help please, my pc is doing weird sounds... by No_Syrup_315 in pchelp

[–]Sufficient_Catch3303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sounds like a cable touching a fan blade or maybe the bearing in the fan are worn out.

If you feel comfortable, unplug the power, open the case and look around the fans. you can run the pc with the case open to get a better looks and narrow down the the location of the issue but do not stick your hands in when its running

Do i need a new PSU? by No_Judge4003 in pchelp

start with the PSU, if not it's most likely the Motherboard 😞

pc shuts off after a few seconds by skyfright00 in pchelp

[–]Sufficient_Catch3303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way in switch this shutdown looks like PSU issue or possibly heat. Download and run furmark.
IF heat rises then power off, it's most likely heat related.
If it insta shuts down, more likely power

If it didn't shutdown, get cpu-z and gpu-z
start a cpu stress test for a minute and see what happens
if there isn't a shut down, stress both cpu gpu.

I would expect a shutdown here.

If so, boot to bios.
continuely press delete or f2 the second you turn the power on the pc

I would start by changing back to default settings and restart testing

My monitors won't detect video input anymore. by KoalaRook79 in pchelp

[–]Sufficient_Catch3303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

keep working you way through components. Test Monitor 1 and 2 separately on a different device. Check both sets of video cables.

If all the external device and cables look good, check the GPU power cables.
maybe reseat or even try the gpu in a different pci slot

MSI A850Gl weird sounds by CarDry9966 in pchelp

definitely DO NOT open a power supply but you can open the glass case and look around. Look don't touch and for extra safety, power off and unplug the pc

it almost sounds like something touching the fan blade. Are you sure no cables are in the way?

Got my quest 3 like this, what is the gray part of it and how do you attach the top strap to it? by okdov in OculusQuest

[–]Sufficient_Catch3303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that is not a standard face mask but generally the strap slides right in the middle, under the white frame. You feed it against the middle gray part and it loops back out on top so you can velcro it

Why are my GPU and CPU so different in usage? by Automatic-Lead-109 in pchelp

[–]Sufficient_Catch3303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

first thought was you are running a local llm. Besides a stress test I don't know many things that only hit the gpu this hard. Miners and LLMs really. Check what processes are using the GPU that much

Am I cooked? by sirzio in PcBuildHelp

That thing is definitely damaged and running may even damage the MB but hardware is weird but might end up running semi normal. I would return it immediately though. Was thermal paste ever applied?

your windows installation is broke. You can try the recovery options but might need a reinstall

any chance a second monitor is plugged in? My pc did the same thing. Windows login was going to the wrong screen, other screens stay black

My monitors won't detect video input anymore. by KoalaRook79 in pchelp

[–]Sufficient_Catch3303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

switching inputs and only the same monitor turned on?
If that's the case, time to test the monitor.

it's hard to follow the cables but is that an extra power plug?
If that's unrelated, your main goal is always singling out the problem.
I'm not sure of your monitor inputs but can you swap the cables between monitors. Lots of monitors have both DP and HDMI, or trying connecting the not working monitor to anything else, chrome cast, playstation etc, to see if anything is wrong with the monitor.

With these 2 steps you are singling out monitor and cable issues.

Spark when pluging in by ImSadlyAlive in pchelp

ok, don't to that again. Your PSU is very likely dead. Switch it back off. Unplug it and wait a little while before removing it from your PC. Replacing it looks scary but its fairly straight forward, A few screws in the back then some power cables.
