Desktop PC: fans are running but no display on monitor

Mon, 04 May 2026 03:09:39 -0700

So I just built a pc and when I started it up for the first time the fans started spinning and my graphics card had a blue light. I put my USB in with my windows 10 in and the USB stick lit up. So I thought my USB ports worked because of that but my mouse and keyboard don’t turn on when I plug them in. Also when I plug in my monitor to my pc nothing shows up.

Here are my parts: CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 1600

Motherboard - ASRock B450M-HDV

RAM - G.Skill Aegis 16 GB

Hard drive - Seagate Barracuda 2 TB

Graphics Card - XFX Radeon RX 580 8 GB

Case - Corsair 200R mid tower case

Power supply - EVGA BR 600 W 80 + Bronze ATX

Thank you in advance for the help.

Gaming PC: Why does my PC only boot after being unplugged overnight?

Fri, 01 May 2026 21:39:23 -0700

PC specs:

Intel i5-13400F
Gigabyte B760M DS3H DDR5
Kingston Fury Beast RGB DDR5 16GB 5600
ASUS Dual RTX 4060
Gigabyte P650G 650W Gold PSU

Since almost brand new, the PC has had an intermittent issue: after power outages or sudden power loss, it stops posting and shows the DRAM debug LED on the motherboard. When this happens, the RAM RGB does not turn on at all. Sometimes it can recover after clearing CMOS or reseating components, but most of the time it only works again after being fully disconnected/disassembled for several hours or overnight.

Already tested:

CMOS battery removal/reset
full power discharge
RAM reseated in different slots
minimal hardware configuration
full disassembly/reassembly

Debug LEDs cycle through CPU/VGA/DRAM and usually end stuck on DRAM. The issue has progressively worsened over time.

PC Desktop: PC reset after Windows boot process

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 19:42:29 -0700

Just is my PC is about to complete its boot of windows, it’s as if somebody hit the reset and it starts all over again from CMOS. It continues to do this time after time it gets done with the CMOS boot begins to boot windows and just as it’s about done it starts all over again. The cycle continues.

Lenovo ThinkCentre: My ThinkCentre M720q is not posting, no inputs and no display works

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 23:58:56 -0700

I was using my ThinkCentre M720q for my Jellyfin media server when it started going wonky.
It's running the latest CachyOS linux kernel and was previously having problems when I naively added multiple desktop environments and overloaded the storage before I reinstalled CachyOS again to remake the media server.

I suspect the media I uploaded to the mini pc using WinSCP caused it to stop posting after I tried rebooting it, though it shouldn't have mattered since I was adding them to a connected external drive.

The computer now does not post at all, though the power light, the red ThinkCentre light, and fans were working.

No beeps were heard to produce any error codes.

I think my only option currently is to remove the CMOS battery and see what happens, but I am running out of ideas here.

Custom Built Desktop PC: Recurring SrtTrail.txt boot error and random USB disconnects after Windows reinstall

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 14:46:25 -0700

My desktop PC is experiencing recurring SrtTrail.txt boot errors and random USB/device disconnects. I have already tried a clean Windows reinstall and driver updates, but the issues persist. I suspect a motherboard or power supply issue.

I've also experienced "Download failed" errors when trying to download drivers directly. I have an installation log from a failed driver attempt that I'm looking to analyze.

What could cause both the boot loops and the intermittent device disconnects? Is there anything specific I should look for in the installation log?

Drive Health: C: (89% Good), D: (99% Good). GPU: GTX 1080 Ti.

Steps already tried:

- Clean Windows install (Cloud reinstall)

- DDU for GPU drivers

- SFC /scannow and DISM commands

- Checked drive health with CrystalDiskInfo (both Good)

- Attempted driver/BIOS updates (failed download)
