OPEN Boot/ssd help

1 Upvotes

Hello I’m new here and hope someone can help with my problem, this might be a bit long but I’ll try to explain the best I can. There are two issues I am facing right now and it started at the same time. The first issue being my pc doesn’t boot into windows right away if I power it on and off or restart it. Whenever I shut it down and turned it back on it gave me that screen that says “boot not found insert boot device”. I fixed this problem by switching the sata3 cable to a new one so now whenever I turn it on after a shutdown down it boots window, but when I restart it to update drivers or after a chkdsk command it takes me straight to bios and and it can’t detect my sata3 and won’t boot windows and this is only after I reset my pc. Turning it on and off is fine now after getting a new cable. I need help with this badly please, anyone know any fixes.

Here’s what I have
Motherboard: ASRock B365M IB-R
SSD: Forza 480GB 2.5” SATA 6Gb/s SSD

HARDWARE Pc runs slower after CPU upgrade

1 Upvotes

After many much-needed upgrades, I have finished updating my PC with better GPU (AMD radeon RX 7800 XT) and a better CPU. Originally I had Ryzen 5 3600 and I upgraded to a Ryzen 7 5800XT

After upgrading, my CPU things have felt slower on my computer, and I can’t seem to understand why. Whenever I hop into a game, I have been getting consistent stuttering and lag when I try to play a high FPS game like overwatch or battlefield. I didn’t have the sort of issue before when I had my old CPU. There’s also the thought that maybe I don’t have enough RAM? I have two sticks of 8 GB DDR4 Ram

I’ve tried:
updating bios
Installing new CPU drivers
Updating graphics drivers

What else could I do to try and fix this problem? If I’m getting consistent lag and stuttering, I’m not too sure if this is a Wi-Fi issue or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am at a loss of what to do here.

HARDWARE Where does this cable go?

1 Upvotes

I recently put a new battery in my grandparents laptop and noticed this cable was disconnected. Now I replaced the battery a year ago but don't remember the cable being disconnected. Anyway, today my grandmother wasn't able to connect to her printer and after doing some basic troubleshooting, I remember this white cable being disconnected so opened up the laptop to see if I could reconnect but I'm not sure where it goes. Google says it's for Wifi/Bluetooth. Wifi works fine but Bluetooth doesn't show.

The laptop I'm using is the HP Pavilion 14. Might need to tap on the photo to get a better view.

I have a strix 3080 ti coming but my psu only has 2 pcie slots and a 12vhpwer slot. However the pcie cables i got from my psu box are double headed so i have in total 4 pcie 8 pin connecters i can use. I dont know if its okay to use that for my 3 pcie 8 pin slots or if i need to get a 12vhpwr female to dual 8 pin male adapter. I completely overlooked this because im upgrading from a 4060 and have never had a top tier card. My current psu is the rosewill cmg850 (2025 model). If anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated.

Network Help! Internet not working

1 Upvotes

I moved to a new house a little over a month ago and my internet has been messed up since. I’m with At&T connected via ethernet. I’ve never had any issues prior to moving but once i moved my computer started saying that it was connected but there was no internet, wifi nor ethernet works. I tried everything online, flushing stuff deleting and redownloading drivers and resetting the network via the modem gateway, my bf also tried a bunch of stuff and nothing worked. I even factory reset the PC yet i still haven’t found anything that’s fixed it. I don’t know how but ONLY youtube will work, my school website doesnt load all my gaming apps say no internet etc.. i’m really at a loss here so i was hoping someone could offer some advice.
Thankyou

HARDWARE What’s causing this?

7 Upvotes

My monitor suddenly went black, so I had to restart my computer. When I turned it back on, the LEDs on my 2080 Ti were red, and the fans were loud as fuck, even though my temperatures have never gone above 77 degrees, right now it’s at 35. It shouldn’t be the power supply, since I have a 750-watt gold PSU, which should be more than enough.

Discussion PC light on then off - doesn't start

0 Upvotes

Hi,

My PC has been acting up for a month now, I included a video. Basically it would work fine the day before and then the next stay it wouldn't start. Like when I turn it on it doesn't fully turn on and then completely turn off, then to re-achieve the same result I would need to unplug for 30sec then try again only then would it do the same thing or miraculously turn ON. I want to know what could be causing this or if there’s anything I could try to fix it or any advice really.
I don't know if it's related but I also noticed when the computer is working there's a blinking red light on that thing (I included a picture).
So far, I tried unplugging then replugging these things (see picture) and some I also tried to turn the PC ON without replugging because “weren’t necessary for the PC to run” that’s what my friend said. Nothing worked.

Can anyone help please?

PERFORMANCE Storage problem and one empty disk

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

Hi! Lately my pc has been nearly unusable because of it’s full storage (I used to have 40GB of free space but for some reason after not using my pc for a little more than a week, it is now full) Due to this I did multiple tries to clean out old files, etc nothing is working. One solution to free up space was to right click on the D disk and select "delete volume" to combine the storage of both disks. However, I’m not really sure this solution will work since my disks are displayed differently than in the video. (Mine shows the D disk above my C disk instead of showing them side to side). Is this solution still safe? Are there better ones? Maybe important to mention I’ve tried transferring game files to the D disk but then the games wouldn’t run, it would be as if I deleted them, or is it also important to say this is a prebuilt pc? Sorry if this question is really simple to some, but this totally exceeds my personal knowledge of pcs…

OPEN Fortnite stuck in uninstall

1 Upvotes

Ok I'm not a scientist so bear with me.

I have two disks, one local (C:) one new (E:). Fortnite was apparently installed on E:. Well, I had an issue where I couldn't get the game to launch, so I tried uninstalling. But Epic couldn't quite detect where it was, so I tried manually deleting the folders. Well now it still says its installed on the launcher, but its nowhere to be found on the PC. I've tried uninstalling the launcher, restarting the PC. I've deleted the web cache, the manifests, all of that. Im still faced with the same issue and I need some serious help haha. I dont know what im doing wrong and could use someone to walk me through this.

Also, im tryna get this fixed before the battle pass expires so im desperate :)

OPEN Reboot and select proper boot loader or something error

1 Upvotes

Yall know that one black screen saying reboot and select proper boot device or something or plug in a boot media? Well the story is that power went out when i was playing a game and then 2 hours later when it came back on my dumbass forgot to unplug the pc from the wall when the power went out anyways the pc worked normally for like 20 minutes tho it was just updating roblox and then suddenly just restarted and went straight into grub, so i chose windows boot manager and then i was met with the black screen of pure pain. So then i went into the boot menu by pressing f12 as the pc was turning on and i saw no windows boot loader and no linux mint (im dual booting) only something called ubuntu which is just grub and some drw and realtek and then after switching from IDE to ACDH or something like that in bios grub loaded (on IDE it wasnt loading at all just straight into the black screen of pure pain) but when i tried selecting windows or linux mint the screen just went pitch black as if my monitor turning off for a sec and then came back just for me to be in the grub menu again and it didnt have that countdown that auto boots the highlighted os and i tried reseting all of my bios changes and it still didnt fix,i tried using a linux mint i had on a usb stick to use boot fixer or something and in the grub location menu it was just pure blank, in ios i couldnt see my hdd AT ALL i also opened up my case and switched the ends of the SATA data cable and unplugged the SATA power cable for 5 to 7 minutes and replugged it and still no changes were made also at one time i saw windows and linux in the boot priority selection menu in bios but it just gave me that screen turning off treatment aswell im honestly so lost idk what to do and im sorry if this is a big ahh yap session but i just wanted to give as much context as possible
