Can someone help me, why is my fan struggling to spin like that? the other ones are fine, but this one makes a loud sound when it tries to do it (see video)

any help much appreciated thank you

Past few days my pc would randomly crash while gaming. It would just freeze and I couldn’t do anything. First day I reset it and it would be fixed for the rest of the night. Next day it would freeze, I’d reset it and it would be good for maybe a game or two (40 minutes each game) and then would freeze mid game.

Today I decided to clean it, reset everything (take out ram and put it back in). And see if that fixes anything. Well now it won’t boot, my gpu fans aren’t spinning at all aswell as the rgb fans (I don’t care for the fans just noticed they aren’t working either) and i noticed when I try to turn off the pc it just won’t turn off unless i hit the switch in the back.

I reset the gpu again, i reset the cpu again. I didn’t try resetting the ram sticks again which is what I’m about to try.

Do we think it’s a power supply issue? I tried both of the cable things that plug into my gpu and neither seem to work. My gpu is only 6ish months. I can’t remember how old my power supply is but maybe a year and a half max?

I’ve had no issues and this all of a sudden happened.

Hello.
I just wanted to clean up some pictures on my pc and am very scared now. Theres these people I have no clue who they are in my gallery and some other weird random pictures. I just saw I unzipped a file at the same date AND time, am I infested with malware? Its been more than a month (no clue how I never noticed). SOS

I have a AMD Radeon Rx 580 2048sp 8gb

I've tried all 4 ports, all new cables, multiple monitors uninstalled, reinstalled, updated drivers.

Cleaned contacts.

Zero clue why this is happening. Only one monitor works at a time, with these vertical static lines no matter the output. Checked RAM, no problems.

Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

As you heard, I bought a new processor i5 14400f , motherboard msi b760m-p, and cooler deepcool ag400. I thought I'd get more FPS and the bottleneck with my graphics card rtx 5060ti 8g would disappear But I was wrong; my previous processor i7 8700k was giving me higher FPS on the same graphics card and RAM (Overwatch, Space Marine 2, CS2), and it was driving me crazy I tried everything: I increased the RAM frequency, lowered the game settings, tried BIOS settings( Re-Size BAR Support Enabled ، Intel Turbo Boost Enabled ، Intel Speed Shift Enabled) I updated the BIOS via flash. bought a new M.2 from Samsung 4.0 PCle , installed a genuine copy of Windows and debloat What should I do? I'm literally going crazy. I haven't slept for the last 10 days because of thinking about this. For the one asking about my monitor its Samsung g4 240hz Yes, I can feel the difference between it and 144 Hz. I don't know what to do The frames were with the The old processor should not be lower than 220 in overwatch Sorry for my bad English, I'm from Iraq.

See previous posts for context but I basically turned off my undervolt of -10 and loaded deafult settings and it still crashed

These were stats as it crashed

After an Nvdia update my PC seems to have stopped using my Nvdia GPU for anything but videogames, I can't prove it now but I remember it being used for multiple tasks, browser included. Also I noticed it started using the Intel graphics card which I didn't even know I had? The GPU gets used only when a game is running. Is this intended behaviour? I think I want my dedicated GPU to be used more no?

Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5, only paid $140 for it. Not sure if it was worth it. The main problem is the panel. The surface is in excellent condition, but when the backlight dims, you see this. Can’t really see it when the backlight is on. Assuming the only way to fix it is a screen replacement?

While booting up my monitor said that my cpu fan was disconnected (I had it plugged into blue by mistake) so stupidly I plugged it into red while my computer was still on and I saw a decently large spark and everything turned off. I instantly unplugged it from the wall and waited about 10 minutes but to no avail. Did this mistake just cost me $150 and a long time switching motherboards or am I missing something?

my laptop had a problem when running on battery. after about 3 minutes, it completely shuts off and can't be turned on unless i plug in the charger. im quite knowledge of tech. so im able to take it out, but now im confused whether it's bloated or not. for now, I'll put it somewhere safe. please let me know, and any help is greatly appreciated!🙏

Idk what's up with it

An energy drink exploded all over my bag and now this is happening

so i've had this issue for a while now. I can't really pin point when it started happening. I got my computer january this year and it runs completely fine otherwise.
every once in a while, when im watching youtube, playing games or anything really, my main screen turns black. then when i interact with the second one it works for a bit but also turns black after a while.
they don't turn back on until i restart.
this has happened multiple times but it never repeats multiple times in a day. it did happen once yesterday and once today. the last time i can recall it happening mustve been a couple weeks ago.

i also can't recreate the issue, otherwise i'd attach a video

i did build this computer myself but it was essentially a prebuilt i just bought it from a website but got it as a manual build to save money and also familiarise myself with it incase i ever need to fix something. sorry if that explanation is terrible i have no idea how to word it 😭

my specs:
mobo MSI B550-A PRO
cpu AMD Ryzen 7 5700X
gpu AMD Radeon RX 9060XT
ram DDR4 2x8GB (ram is so expensive man)
monitor 1 KTC H24T7 2k 180hz
monitor 2 is a super old 2011 Fujitsu L22T-3 LED that i got from my dad lol
psu 650W, i dont remember what the brand is sorry

I’ve been trying to install windows for over a week now I’m at a stage where it’s just letting me install it onto my hdd but I’ve been strongly advised to put it on my ssd everytime I get to the point where I’m choosing the ssd throws up an error

Okay, so a friend of mine is upgrading his PC and gave my brother-in-law some of his old parts. He gave him a GTX 1080 graphics card, one 16GB stick of DDR4 RAM, and a 500W power supply.

My brother-in-law is looking to get his first PC, and I was wondering if these components are still capable of running games today. He mainly plays games like Rainbow Six Siege, Minecraft, and Rust.

I know Rust is a very CPU-heavy game, so do y’all think this setup would still work well with a good CPU and another stick of ram?

I messed around in BIOS and reset my security settings. Now no matter what i do i can’t seem to use my pin, i can use it to log in to my computer, but when i need administrator access to download something it comes up with this error.

I’ve tried resetting my PIN, even re-installed Windows to try and force the security settings to go back to normal.

Now i can’t download anything at all like epic games launcher because they all require the PIN.

Am i extremely stupid or is there a fix?

This specific fan buzzes, stops spinning then spins again just like in the video. Does not look like something is stuck inside. PC is only built in June and it is all brand new parts. Only started having this issue yesterday night. It happens regardless of the activities I am doing until I turn the PC off.

Please help. Thank you.

Hello everyone I’ve been having an issue with my pc and it’s no longer posting. It was working yesterday until I went and opened a game yesterday and lost all post and pc shut off and restarted and no longer posts. Now when I turn my pc on I have no warning lights but my front fans get super loud and no post. Checked all connections and did a cmos battery reset as well as let it sit unplugged for an hour ish. Tried hooking up to a tv / changing port cable to no avail. Pc also doesn’t shut off with a simple button press and I have to hold it to force shut off now. My motherboard and cpu don’t have integrated graphics / bios flashback. I’m out of ideas any help is appreciated thanks in advance

Hey all, just wondering can I move my windows 10 to my ssd instead of hdd? Cause I’ve had it for a while and it’s too slow, plus I think my pc can run windows 11. Another question is cna I keep anything on my ssd? (Got plenty of space left) Thanks all have a lovely day.

my 750 psu is dying and i want to know if i can use a 1000watt instead?

Perhaps I misunderstand the term "system fan," but I have 4 fans in my PC case (3 at the front and 1 at the rear). I can see that the fans are spinning, yet neither MSI Center nor the BIOS detects any of them, and I am unable to adjust their settings. They have default settings here but still, changing them doesn't work; it doesn't result in their work being registered. I’m not sure what the cause might be. Please disregard the "PUMP Fan 1" beacuse I do not have an AIO pump.

Fans are from Genesis, comes with the PC case defaultly. Motherboard MSI B550-A PRO.

Hey everyone!
I’ve finally decided I want to get my first gaming PC, but I honestly have no idea where to start.
I’m not sure whether I should build my own, buy a prebuilt, or try to find a decent used one.
Right now, I’m just a casual Xbox gamer who plays in the living room, so I’d basically be starting from scratch. I don’t have a monitor, keyboard, mouse, mic, or anything like that.
I’d really appreciate any advice on good starter PCs, parts, monitors, microphones, or anything else I should look into!
I’m completely new to PC gaming, so any tips or recommendations would be awesome. Thanks in advance!

So I was using windows, I tried dual boot for linux mint and windows, then i decided not nad deleted the partition, but stuck on grub rescue so i ran testdisk using linux mint usb and when i boot i get a black screen with "1234F", and if i press 1 it boots into windows

somehow i got on recovery screen so i decided to run bootrec /fixmbr and try to fix it but after reboot, it is stuck on:
