<title><![CDATA[ATX Mid Tower Computer: First custom build turns off immediately. 2 bad MOBOS in a row?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello!</p>

<p>TLDR: Processor, memory, PSU seem fine. MOBO lights up for a split second when PSU is plugged in. Only the CPU light and CPU fan turn on for a split second when I try to turn the system power on.</p>

<p>I’ve been trying to get my custom build to POST for about two weeks and have been running into a series of problems and I would appreciate any help.</p>

<p>Parts List</p>

<p>MOBO: Gigabyte Z370 Aorus Gaming 5</p>

<p>Processor: Intel i7 6700</p>

<p>Memory: 2 x Corsair Vengengance DDR4 LPX 8GB 2400</p>

<p>Graphics: EVGA GeForce GTX 2018</p>

<p>PSU: EVGA SuperNova 850</p>

<p>Storage: Samsung 970 Evo</p>

<p>Heatsink: CoolMaster Hyper 212</p>

<p>When I power the system on, the CPU light flashes on and the CPU fan starts for 0.5 seconds and then the board shuts down. I’ve double checked the motherboard power and CPU power cables. I’ve tried powering it up with just 1 RAM stick installed.  I’ve also removed the graphics card. I’ve checked the CPU pins on the socket and they seem fine (although this is my first build). I also tried power it on outside of the case on a cardboard box and got the same results.</p>

<p>When I first connect the PSU to the system all the RGB lights on the motherboard light up for a split second and then turn off. This is different than the CPU check light turning on when I power the system on.</p>

<p>I started out with an old Asus z270e gaming motherboard that my friend couldn’t get to work. I was able to get the CPU and RAM checks to pass and the PSU was supplying steadily on that motherboard but was unable to get it to POST. After being unable to return that motherboard, I upgraded to the Gigabyte Z370 Aorus Gaming 5.</p>

<p>Could this just be another bad motherboard? Is this a CPU problem?</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<title><![CDATA[ATX Mid Tower Computer: Why is my computer restarting when playing game?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I recently purchased Spyro Trilogy for PC.</p>

<p>30 to 40 minutes into gameplay, my computer restarts. No blue screen, no indication.</p>

<p>Temps on CPU + GPU are within normal range. Thermal paste has been changed too.</p>

<p>There is no visible sign of damage on the motherboard, or burning odour.  Fans operating normally too.</p>

<p>Harddrive has been scanned for bad sectors, but it is completely fine.</p>

<p>**Another thing that happened is, after the comp restarted, I went back into Spyro, and another reset occurred, but this time, the computer fell into a bootloop.  I had to turn it off for about an hour before starting it back up. I thought it may have been a thermal issue, but the temps have always been in normal range.</p>

<title><![CDATA[ATX Mid Tower Computer: My power supply buzzes when im playing games.]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I’ve tried multiple PSs and they all make buzzing noise while I’m playing</p>

<p>it stops immediately after exiting the game</p>

<p>note:all of the pc parts are new except for one hdd.</p>

<p>could it be a virus? I’m suspecting a cracked game to be the reason , couse when i changed the MB the sound disappeared until I lunched the potential reason.</p>

<title><![CDATA[ATX Mid Tower Computer: Why won’t my pc post after I’ve tried everything?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>My PC used to boot up, but now it won’t. All it will do is start, run for 30 seconds, and not post then boot loop and restart. I have to shut it off from the power supply to turn it off as the case button won’t. This happened with my original build, so I replaced the motherboard and cpu, thinking it was my old cpu since I had a bent pin on the last one. Yet, the problem persists. I bought a new motherboard that has argb unlike the old one, and my argb fans will flash when I turn the psu on and then never fully turn on. I’m suspecting RAM or PSU considering it won’t post. The PSU was used and bought from a friend working.</p>

<p>CPU: Ryzen 5 4500</p>

<p>Motherboard: Gigabyte B550 Eagle WIFI6</p>

<p>RAM: OLOY DDR4 RAM 16GB (2x8GB) 3000 MHz CL16 1.35V 288-Pin Desktop Gaming UDIMM (MD4U083016BJDA)</p>

<p>GPU: ASUS GTX 550 Ti(yes yes, I know it’s old, but it should be working as the pc problem persists even when I remove it)</p>

<p>PSU: Thermaltake Smart 650W 80+ Gold Non-modular power supply(it’s an older one)</p>

<p>Case(if needed): Corsair 3500X ARGB</p>

<title><![CDATA[ATX Mid Tower Computer: Windows install not detected after restart]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I was trying to get Windows 7 installed on my MacBook, first trying the install USB on the MacBook itself, which didn’t work. So I tried it in my custom built computer. The drive booted, but my peripherals would not work. (keyboard, mouse, webcam, etc.) Now I can’t boot into my windows install. It’s not a problem with the SSD itself, as my bootloader is installer on it and works just fine, and the Windows install is detected within my install of macOS Monterey. It just isn’t shown in my BIOS or bootloader. Will post a picture of the bootloader soon.</p>

<p>Specs:</p>

<p>Gigabyte B450M DS3H</p>

<p>Ryzen 5 2600</p>

<p>4x8gb 2666MHz RAM (OC to 3200)</p>

<p>XPG Spectrix S40G (where Windows and Opencore lie)</p>
