Custom built desktop PC: Why can I not run my PC?

Tue, 28 Jan 2025 00:54:30 -0700

Hey hope everyone is doing well, I was hoping to get some help on here from someone. I built a new pc all new parts practically, specs will be below this 👇. I have my pc booted up In windows, turn it on it boots up then it runs horribly. It lags so bad and takes forever to try to open any application, even File Explorer takes 3 minutes plus to open up and even after it’s open it takes forever to get to a file or anything. So mainly it turns on and boots windows but after it takes minutes to you can even see the applications pop up.

SPECS

INTEL I9 14900K CPU

AMD RADEON SWFT 319 GPU

TWO STICKS OF DDR5 CORSAIR VENGEANCE 16GB EACH

GIGABYTE Z790 PRO X WHITE BOARD

Custom built desktop PC: Pc turns on but doesn’t give any display or keyboard/mouse lights

Sat, 31 Aug 2024 07:29:41 -0700

My pc turns on but doesn’t give any video or the keyboard/mouse doesn’t light up

So basically today arrived a new pc case so I decided to change it. I was using the pc before I turned it off to change the case. So, I unplugged all the cables from the psu and the graphic card and mounted it on the other case. When I connected every tried to turn it on but now it doesn’t give any video or the lights of the keyboard doesn’t turn on, they only lights that turn on is the light of the motherboard itself. Tried multiple things like putting rams again, using other ram modules, taking of the battery to clear cmos, or unplugging everything again and trying to make it work out of the case but no success.Its rare because literally I was on the pc 10 minutes before the package came and it was running perfect Any help is appreciated because my new graphic card is arriving on Monday and if I can save 80-100€ so I don’t have to buy a new one.

Custom built desktop PC: Why is my computer not turning on?

From childhood I had this PC of which I used to use all the time, but kinda forgot about, but recently I bought some Pc parts (PC case and power supply ) than replaced them.

At first it turned on just fine and I checked out my old files, but seeing as how it was late I decided to turn it off and go sleep when I turned it on again there was no response

Custom built desktop PC: Why when I launch my computer it crashes? RESOLVED

Sat, 17 Feb 2024 23:16:14 -0700

When I turn my computer on, it crashes and says automatic repair couldn’t repair my pc. The issue started when I was playing some games, and my computer suddenly froze. When I turned off and on again, and put my password in, it would crash and loop, then say windows didn’t load correctly. I tried fixing it and eventually tried reinstalling windows, but it still didn’t work, and now it doesn’t even get to the log-in page, and says automatic repair couldn’t repair my pc. How can I fix this?

UPDATE: My boy Kyle fixed it up. He said “I just messed around with the drive settings till it was gooder”, so I don’t really know what happened, but it worked. (for now at least).

Custom built desktop PC: Why is my Wi-Fi network not showing up?

Sat, 30 Sep 2023 18:24:09 -0700

When I moved at the beginning of the year, me and my roommate had a bit of trouble setting up the Wi-Fi, but eventually got it figured out for the most part. However, for some reason, I can’t get the network to show up in my pc’s Wi-Fi menu. My phone and laptop are connected, along with all of my roommates electronics. I use a Wi-Fi USB stick, and have tried replacing it. I’ve also tried my phones hot spot, but it doesn’t work as well as I want it to.
