CMOS Batteries that are old and low on voltage can cause motherboards to freak out and rain havoc. Always measure the old CMOS Battery on voltage, if the voltage is lower than 2.6volts replace it, it needs to be close to 3volts.

@@loganboi962 This is a hard one. I would suggest to make a post on popular forums or reddit that has tech support from PC users. And most importantly write down all hardware that is in your PC. Brand name, Model number, and even software version for things as the motherboard bios version. Issues with ram is often related to not compatible model/brand, and even older bios version not having support. So my suggestion is search your bios version in the bios, and google for the latest version on the brands website. GL. 🕵️♂️

The first way to fix a black screen can also be done if you have a button on your mbo (I honestly dont know what its called), it will reset the bios, which is what is happening when you take out that bios battery.
He might just have low or bad power. There are a lot of ways this happens a terrible one I saw (lightbulb change/week) was the main incoming fuse was sort of half blown and sparking but still through circuit. Lots of other ways - solar on roof dying, ground faults, appliance faults

The corsair CX psu''s always eventually go the way you are describing. They start to degrade until they can't support the wattage required by the computer. I've two right here that pass the tester you have but once load goes on them they fail.

The older areas in Aus sometimes have problems with power surges too which a UPS controls. Worth mentioning on your channel. Cheers, Mon from Brisbane.
Countries/towns that have power lines above ground and next to streets have most power issues overall. People in these countries/towns will have power outages when there is a storm most of the times. Invest in quality surge protectors, you don't have to go out and buy expensive UPS stations.
Ditto with houses with dodgy power supplies and old 'old' fridges. We lost a VCR and a PC due to power surges when the fridge/ freezer turned on... $200 sealed PSU component replaced due to 5 cent part within it popping...
I saw someone do an intersting fix like that, so I'll pass the tip on. ... A PC that did not respond at all to pressing the powerbutton, like the PC was dead. They removed the CMOS battery, and then shorted the positive and negative CMOS battery terminals of the motherboard. (I do not know for sure if the PSU was connected but I think not.) That must have cleared some static electricity or stray electricity from the system somewhere. He put the CMOS battery back in, and the PC booted. (By the way faulty RAM usually gives s POST beep sequence. I noted you did not mention that when describing faulty RAM symptoms.)
Does a UPS with a power trim helps to avoid this issue? I live in a country where electricity just keep suddenly going off for some reason, thats why I have a UPS.
My friend is having a problem with his Ryzen + RDNA2 build. When it's in power savings (monitors go to sleep) it will randomly blink the LED on GPU, he'll hear a hardware disconnected notification and the monitors will wake up to a black screen.
But wouldn't resetting the CMOS battery clear the BIOS and then let the onboard video become primary again? 20 years experience tells me that if they have a black screen when plugging in a PC they just bought that they plugged the monitor into the onboard and not the video card. I also have them check to make sure power is connected to the monitor and PC just to be safe.
For the RAM could also be a memory slot itself. Got an 775 Gigabyte mobo which does run absolutly fine with slot 1,3 and 4 populated but starts acting up as soon as I put a (no matter which knowingly working) stick in the second slot. I also remember my brothers issues, all GPU´s put in his rig (exact same as mine at the same, accept for the PSU, had to swap my 650W Straight Power 2 years earlier due to failure like many others across the globe had to) were failing putting out black screen but working fine in my PC. I´m pretty sure his Straight Power was failing as well, since even an HD5450 was like all other cards (with power connector) failing after just one week. Obviously there was something wrong with the power delivery and it weren´t the outlets, because other electronics (like the monitors) would have failed as well using the same outlets.
Mine had cold boot problem. Usually the computer never shuts down completey and it's able to boot the next time. But if I reassembled it wouldn't boot until a few restarts later. All the fans including the cpu and vga keep running, cpu led in constantly on. Recently there's was a power outage and now it just refuses to boot no matter what I did. Seems like MSI or AMD chip problem, I had problem last time with my msi b350m gaming plus and 1600 as well.
A UPS is a great idea for electronics but not all UPS's are created equal, get a UPS which does EMI filtering or a inline UPS, this will filter noise from the AC input effectively cleaning the signal and preventing AC line noise from being amplified down stream in the PC resulting in a cleaner audio and visual signal.
What if i have no extra cpu or ram and i have both no display AND my rgb mouse and keyboard wont power on. I put a brand new unused motherboard in and changed the power supply witg a well known good psu and i still cant get display or peripherals turning on.
When I worked as tech support for ISP I happened to experience faulty modem power adapters several times for certain customers. The conclusion was the electricity in homes.
Thank you so much. The problem was the little battery. I tought it maybe ran out (my brothers computer) and i took it of, waited a half minute and it booted up. Now it works
My first gaming PC shutdown while playing Company of Heroes. It seems that that the game was too much for the no name power supply to handle. From that point on I made sure to buy proper power supplies for my PC. My current PC has a SFX Flex PSU. At one point the monitor keep blacking out mere minutes are booting up Windows. Due to the open nature of the case, messy cable management and constant transport, a single wire from the GPU cable group was torn off. I just taped the weak point and inserted the loose wire back in. That was a year ago and so far the PC is fine.
Ok I have put in a new GPU since I only had an integrated one, but after installing it won't start. The fans start going for a few seconds, keyboard mouse headset works, but after a few seconds the pc restarts whilst the screen always stays black. I tried the thing with the battery at the start. The same result
I hade a set of faulty DDR3 once where any files I copied between hard disks it caused the copied files to become corrupted (CRC checked) but everything else worked fine. Took me a while to figure it out because it happened over time and eventually system files became corrupted and it began crashing etc.
Certain Security software installed in Windows can cause black screens. If the PC is a prebuilt with a OS preinstalled, might be best to reinstall the OS, or remove any preinstall security software.
Can somebody help me, when I installed the 497.29 nvidia drivers, I did a clean reinstall at custom installation. After I left my pc it was stuck at 1 hour and couple of minutes more on black screen. I restart it to reinstall the drivers and then it won't boot to windows. Only the keyboard and the mouse would glow, the screen no signal.
I had an issue with my PC loading a black screen after blowing out the dust. I initially did a hard reset to the Motherboard by removing the CMOS Battery however that did not resolve the issue. Once I removed one stick of RAM and powered on the PC at that point the BIOS and Windows OS booted fine. Turns out that RAM goes stale from time to time. Never had that issue before...
@@Mopantsu Ohh I'll look into that. It'll probably take a while for me to be able to get one though. At the moment I use a Surge Protector and a UPS with my pc
Pro tip:If you have black screen power the pc wait a bit to load windows and press the caps lock or num lock to see if they are working.If they light up on the keyboard then the problem is in the video!
I have black screen but then after 2 minutes it fixes itself and everything works fine I just don't know why I have to wait 2 minutes for my computer to turn on the screen gets off a black glow and sometimes I can see the mouse sometimes I can't please help
Just after a big Windows version update, I got a black screen. Had to boot to Safe Mode, remove and reinstall the graphics driver. After putting the optimal settings back after install, the next boot went back to Black Screen. Repeat a few times... Found out that setting the monitor to "10 bit" mode was the problem (it is a 10 bit monitor that worked fine before...) Windows broke something and cannot use that setting anymore. (I haven't dared re-test it even though it's been a while...)
hi brian i need your help. my pc is freezing on windows logo every time i try to use my gtx 680 with riser that comes with my loque ghost s1 and same with cooler master NR200P which i recently purchased. i tried to vertical mount gpu and same thing happen. however gpu is running great when i plug it onboard pcie. plz tell me is there any motherboard setting to do? btw i m using gigabyte z390i.
Funny thing, My PC never even connected to my monitor or any other display device. I had this problem for about half a year and then realized a switch on the back that was set to european power. It still doesn't work to this day do to a hard drive issue but I find it kinda funny how 1 little switch was a drawback for 6 months.
I've also had black screens when booting for the first time and being plugged into a television instead of a monitor. Not sure if it is a codex or just unusual resolution issue. Once I have booted using a monitor and installed graphics drivers the problem is solved.
I remember back in the windows 7 days I always had a strange issue were my rig wouldn't display anything or boot properly unless I reseated the ram, use to happen every few months lol
Hay Brian I have asked a few times no response but I just got a gtx960 2gb model should I try overclock it or just leave it is it worth doing have never overclocked a card
My friend received a computer with a 10900F, and he had bought a GTX 1650 because was the only thing he could buy. When he tried more intensive games comptuer would shut down. I tried running a prime95 didn't even last a second. Turns out that it had a 500W generic PSU. He bought a new one that I recomended and I instaled it. I don't remember very well but it was a seasonic gold core 750w if im not mistaken.
Hey man, im having troubles with my pc, its an intel core i5 6600K with a gtx 1660, the ram is corsair vengance 16gbx2 3200mhz. So what happens is basically i turn on the pc, it does signify life, but the moniter is blank, then a few seconds later it shuts down and turns on again, and repeat. I was trying to install windows last night and it froze in the last part of it so i had to shut it down. I tried connecting another hard drive with windows to see if it would boot up but nothing, and i tried disconecting everything unessesary and it still wont boot properly. How can i fix this?
Mine doesnt always boot up, after few tries than it boots up and GPU driver might not be working. What to do with this, also mouse sometimes glitches out i did buy a new CMOS battery and replace it.
can somebody plz help, i cant get into windows, but i can enter bios and it all seems to work fine but when i get to booting screen the little dots just keep spinning forever and the screen is black... i also tried to boot from USB with windows media on it, and just when its about to boot, it shows windows logo, dots... and then black screen :( whats this all about? i was trying to get to safe mode but no success...
TLDR: nothing important Something like that fairness to me last month. After changing some things on the bios for some reason it just wouldn't start. Luckily I have a mobo that shows the post code and also has a led that shows what component may be the problem. It showed the gpu was the problem. As I assumed I didn't burn the gpu right now when gpus are really expensive, then the mobo wasn't recognizing it anymore. As I don't have another gpu with integrated graphics, I just removed the battery to go back to stock settings. Turns out that while changing the config for how the memory is used to get done extra boost in performance, the mobo decided to also change the automatic recognition of dedicated Gpus to only integrated.
I know I’m stupid but I messed with my boot options to try to get secure boot to work and now the computer turns on but it shows nothing on screen as in I can’t navigate anything because I can’t see anything. Plz help
i purchased an intel q67 mini itx motherboard , for some reason it will read a quadro nvidia 600 and 2000 just fine but when i put a radeon 7570 into the system , it black screens with no picture, would the battery trick work or is it just this intel q67 chipset not compatible with radeon cards , for the record ive tested this 7570 in a non oem neutral asus motherboard and it works just fine in it
Nice video, I’m so stuck. I kept getting a snowy blinking screen then freeze, Thought it was gpu so changed it and changed power supply also. Narrowed it down that the HDMI port on an Onkyo Tx Rz50 under 1 year old was bad. Hooked up new receiver and that’s all good now. But now I can’t restart the computer only manually shut it off and when I manually shut off the power goes off instantly it’s like the computer is off but all the fans etc are still running. Also tried the bios but after a few seconds the bios freezes up to and have to manually shut down. I reseted the cmos and no change. Just black screen when I try to restart and when I turn the pc on same thing until after a few tries. Please help. Thank you
Thanks for your video. It's helpful and full of useful knowledge. Well I am facing an issue with my PC which uses a Gigabyte Motherboard and no GPU And I want your help plz. There comes a mysterious voice from my PC's whole metal body and this voice keeps getting higher slowly and then go down slowly and continue doing so. Well a night before my PC was able to run even with this issue but now when I start the PC it dont show the Display and the system continues to turn off and on repeatedly sometimes and sometimes it starts but dont show the display while the system's Fan runs with a very very little voice and power which is not normal AND also my HDD on which the Windows is installed is getting hot along with the built in Intel GPU chip. I have checked the ddr3 ram by changing but this issue is still being faced. Can you plz help me solving this issue ??? Kindly Reply Plz.
I was experiencing this last weekend. Pulled that battery, used one stick of RAM and managed to get into the Bios. After multiple attempts at getting the PC to boot with all of the RAM, I finally figured out that it was the Corsair AX-860 PSU was dying. I ended up getting an EVGA 80+ Gold 850 watt PSU to replace it. My beloved 9900K is still alive!
My hp with an i7 4770 with virtualization on stays on boot stuck but if i disable virtualization it boots fine all the time. It stayed like this all the suden. Bios is updated. Its driving me crazy. Any ideas?
More people need to know about grounding issues in your home man when I started learning about pcs when I was young the guy that was teaching me made sure I knew to only plug computers in on grounded plugs and to always check with a cheap ground checker he said he'd seen so many pcs get destroyed by even small surges very good video my man TYC always with the good info keep it up man been seeing you get shouted out on a lot of other UA-cam channels bc of what you say and your calls here lately. You've been on point!!
I have a board right now that would not boot, CPU was 5960X then moved ram around [8 slots] finally booted, overclocked to 4.6 even ran stress benchmarks with no issues after that. Moved CPU to another board that had a XEON in it [upgrade] and yes its 2011-3 socket and then boom no workie workie. Put back into the original board no workie workie, waiting on another CPU to come in to test further.
None of these seem to be the issue for me. My PC will not boot and then I hold the power button and it shuts down and restarts and boots just fine. At this point the computer works perfectly fine. I shut down the computer every night and upon restarting each morning, the process is the same; the first startup is a black screen and the second time it boots fine.
To The YES Man, thank you for making videos like this one that share how to diagnose PCs. A part of what I know and apply to my own and my friends' PCs came from your content and they would be surely useful in the future for me

My first gaming PC shutdown while playing Company of Heroes. It seems that that the game was too much for the no name power supply to handle. From that point on I made sure to buy proper power supplies for my PC.
My current PC has a SFX Flex PSU. At one point the monitor keep blacking out mere minutes are booting up Windows. Due to the open nature of the case, messy cable management and constant transport, a single wire from the GPU cable group was torn off. I just taped the weak point and inserted the loose wire back in. That was a year ago and so far the PC is fine.
Ok I have put in a new GPU since I only had an integrated one, but after installing it won't start. The fans start going for a few seconds, keyboard mouse headset works, but after a few seconds the pc restarts whilst the screen always stays black. I tried the thing with the battery at the start. The same result
This is very helpful. Taking the button cell out for 1 min and putting it back on worked. Bingo! Thanks much!
I hade a set of faulty DDR3 once where any files I copied between hard disks it caused the copied files to become corrupted (CRC checked) but everything else worked fine. Took me a while to figure it out because it happened over time and eventually system files became corrupted and it began crashing etc.
Certain Security software installed in Windows can cause black screens. If the PC is a prebuilt with a OS preinstalled, might be best to reinstall the OS, or remove any preinstall security software.
Can somebody help me, when I installed the 497.29 nvidia drivers, I did a clean reinstall at custom installation. After I left my pc it was stuck at 1 hour and couple of minutes more on black screen. I restart it to reinstall the drivers and then it won't boot to windows. Only the keyboard and the mouse would glow, the screen no signal.
I had an issue with my PC loading a black screen after blowing out the dust. I initially did a hard reset to the Motherboard by removing the CMOS Battery however that did not resolve the issue. Once I removed one stick of RAM and powered on the PC at that point the BIOS and Windows OS booted fine. Turns out that RAM goes stale from time to time. Never had that issue before...
About the Grounding... Any ideas how to deal with that on countries with electrical systems that don't use any Grounding?
Use a power conditioner.
@@Mopantsu Ohh I'll look into that. It'll probably take a while for me to be able to get one though. At the moment I use a Surge Protector and a UPS with my pc
My power supply power cycles when I start my PC, should I replace it?
Pro tip:If you have black screen power the pc wait a bit to load windows and press the caps lock or num lock to see if they are working.If they light up on the keyboard then the problem is in the video!
I have black screen but then after 2 minutes it fixes itself and everything works fine I just don't know why I have to wait 2 minutes for my computer to turn on the screen gets off a black glow and sometimes I can see the mouse sometimes I can't please help
Just after a big Windows version update, I got a black screen.
Had to boot to Safe Mode, remove and reinstall the graphics driver.
After putting the optimal settings back after install, the next boot went back to Black Screen.
Repeat a few times...
Found out that setting the monitor to "10 bit" mode was the problem (it is a 10 bit monitor that worked fine before...)
Windows broke something and cannot use that setting anymore.
(I haven't dared re-test it even though it's been a while...)
I already tried with the memory ram, with the video card and with the power supply, I must assume that it is the motherboard ?, or the CPU?
the one around 9 minutes in the video worked for me, thank you so much
hi brian i need your help. my pc is freezing on windows logo every time i try to use my gtx 680 with riser that comes with my loque ghost s1 and same with cooler master NR200P which i recently purchased. i tried to vertical mount gpu and same thing happen. however gpu is running great when i plug it onboard pcie. plz tell me is there any motherboard setting to do? btw i m using gigabyte z390i.
Love the Tech Yes diagnostics. I've learnt a few things tonight thanks to your video :)
Love the content a always. Just so I understand, you touch the HDMI from the monitor that's plugged in and powered on? Thanks man.
Funny thing, My PC never even connected to my monitor or any other display device. I had this problem for about half a year and then realized a switch on the back that was set to european power. It still doesn't work to this day do to a hard drive issue but I find it kinda funny how 1 little switch was a drawback for 6 months.
I've also had black screens when booting for the first time and being plugged into a television instead of a monitor. Not sure if it is a codex or just unusual resolution issue. Once I have booted using a monitor and installed graphics drivers the problem is solved.
Oh no! all my power plugs don't have that third prong!
Man, I'm glad I live in Europe and we use different ways to ground our gear ;-p
I live in Britain and we have a third prong. Also Swiss and Italians have a third prong.
I live in portugal and we don't a big third pin, it's just a little contact but it's still a 3rd point that serves as ground.
@@brokeandtired Oh, that I know, but then: Britts were always the odd one out ;-p
I’ve had this problem for months. Black screen started happening in gaming. Mobo rest worked at first until now. Has happened with 2 different gpus in
I remember back in the windows 7 days I always had a strange issue were my rig wouldn't display anything or boot properly unless I reseated the ram, use to happen every few months lol
Hi Brian, any tips to fix gpu coil whine? Bought used 1070ti recently, whining noise when playing graphics intensive games 😅
Had that same issue on a laptop and it was due to some power saving Feature
Hay Brian I have asked a few times no response but I just got a gtx960 2gb model should I try overclock it or just leave it is it worth doing have never overclocked a card
My friend received a computer with a 10900F, and he had bought a GTX 1650 because was the only thing he could buy.
When he tried more intensive games comptuer would shut down.
I tried running a prime95 didn't even last a second.
Turns out that it had a 500W generic PSU.
He bought a new one that I recomended and I instaled it.
I don't remember very well but it was a seasonic gold core 750w if im not mistaken.
Hey man, im having troubles with my pc, its an intel core i5 6600K with a gtx 1660, the ram is corsair vengance 16gbx2 3200mhz. So what happens is basically i turn on the pc, it does signify life, but the moniter is blank, then a few seconds later it shuts down and turns on again, and repeat. I was trying to install windows last night and it froze in the last part of it so i had to shut it down. I tried connecting another hard drive with windows to see if it would boot up but nothing, and i tried disconecting everything unessesary and it still wont boot properly. How can i fix this?
Does x58 boards only allow ECC registered ram? Does ordinary ddr3 ram fine as well?
Mine doesnt always boot up, after few tries than it boots up and GPU driver might not be working. What to do with this, also mouse sometimes glitches out i did buy a new CMOS battery and replace it.
can somebody plz help, i cant get into windows, but i can enter bios and it all seems to work fine but when i get to booting screen the little dots just keep spinning forever and the screen is black... i also tried to boot from USB with windows media on it, and just when its about to boot, it shows windows logo, dots... and then black screen :( whats this all about? i was trying to get to safe mode but no success...
TLDR: nothing important
Something like that fairness to me last month. After changing some things on the bios for some reason it just wouldn't start.
Luckily I have a mobo that shows the post code and also has a led that shows what component may be the problem. It showed the gpu was the problem. As I assumed I didn't burn the gpu right now when gpus are really expensive, then the mobo wasn't recognizing it anymore.
As I don't have another gpu with integrated graphics, I just removed the battery to go back to stock settings.
Turns out that while changing the config for how the memory is used to get done extra boost in performance, the mobo decided to also change the automatic recognition of dedicated Gpus to only integrated.
I know I’m stupid but I messed with my boot options to try to get secure boot to work and now the computer turns on but it shows nothing on screen as in I can’t navigate anything because I can’t see anything. Plz help
Nice work Briza, some good tip's there.
i purchased an intel q67 mini itx motherboard , for some reason it will read a quadro nvidia 600 and 2000 just fine but when i put a radeon 7570 into the system , it black screens with no picture, would the battery trick work or is it just this intel q67 chipset not compatible with radeon cards , for the record ive tested this 7570 in a non oem neutral asus motherboard and it works just fine in it
The first solution worked for me thank you so much!
Can you please just tell me what u did exactly
Honestly I'm lost. I've tried cpu, new psu, separate but identical motherboard, ram, HDD. Everything but the case at this point. Can it be the case?
Dumb questions,is there any chance to revive dead gpu that toast by power socket issues?
Nice video, I’m so stuck. I kept getting a snowy blinking screen then freeze, Thought it was gpu so changed it and changed power supply also. Narrowed it down that the HDMI port on an Onkyo Tx Rz50 under 1 year old was bad. Hooked up new receiver and that’s all good now. But now I can’t restart the computer only manually shut it off and when I manually shut off the power goes off instantly it’s like the computer is off but all the fans etc are still running. Also tried the bios but after a few seconds the bios freezes up to and have to manually shut down. I reseted the cmos and no change. Just black screen when I try to restart and when I turn the pc on same thing until after a few tries. Please help. Thank you
My pc donest turn on. 4 of the fans don't work, 2 of them do.
The gpu lights are off, all other lights are on.
Can't figure it out. Help!
How long does it take for a CPU to degrade and display issues?
Thanks for your video. It's helpful and full of useful knowledge. Well I am facing an issue with my PC which uses a Gigabyte Motherboard and no GPU And I want your help plz. There comes a mysterious voice from my PC's whole metal body and this voice keeps getting higher slowly and then go down slowly and continue doing so. Well a night before my PC was able to run even with this issue but now when I start the PC it dont show the Display and the system continues to turn off and on repeatedly sometimes and sometimes it starts but dont show the display while the system's Fan runs with a very very little voice and power which is not normal AND also my HDD on which the Windows is installed is getting hot along with the built in Intel GPU chip. I have checked the ddr3 ram by changing but this issue is still being faced. Can you plz help me solving this issue ??? Kindly Reply Plz.
I was experiencing this last weekend. Pulled that battery, used one stick of RAM and managed to get into the Bios. After multiple attempts at getting the PC to boot with all of the RAM, I finally figured out that it was the Corsair AX-860 PSU was dying. I ended up getting an EVGA 80+ Gold 850 watt PSU to replace it. My beloved 9900K is still alive!
My hp with an i7 4770 with virtualization on stays on boot stuck but if i disable virtualization it boots fine all the time. It stayed like this all the suden. Bios is updated. Its driving me crazy. Any ideas?
I had faulty power supply boots up everything replaced psu and fixed the black screen.
hey please recently i have a black screen(no signal) when am playing games on my pc what can cause that?
Love the info here!!
More people need to know about grounding issues in your home man when I started learning about pcs when I was young the guy that was teaching me made sure I knew to only plug computers in on grounded plugs and to always check with a cheap ground checker he said he'd seen so many pcs get destroyed by even small surges very good video my man TYC always with the good info keep it up man been seeing you get shouted out on a lot of other UA-cam channels bc of what you say and your calls here lately. You've been on point!!
Learned something new.Thank you sir.

Did I recognize a Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard there? (The model from 2004?) Yay. :) BTW, the 2017 edition is also awesome.
The one issue we found where paraplex weren't fully seated the 2nd was the cpu was actually bad. And that was an Intel 10 8 50 k
This vid helped alot, i just had to plug my pc out the surge protector and into an outlet directly issue resolved
Did have to take out my GPU but taking out the battery worked, power went out when I was at work and the computer wouldn't turn back on.
Congrats on 500k! It's been nice Watching the channel grow. 🎊 Cheers to 1Mil
I have a board right now that would not boot, CPU was 5960X then moved ram around [8 slots] finally booted, overclocked to 4.6 even ran stress benchmarks with no issues after that. Moved CPU to another board that had a XEON in it [upgrade] and yes its 2011-3 socket and then boom no workie workie. Put back into the original board no workie workie, waiting on another CPU to come in to test further.
None of these seem to be the issue for me. My PC will not boot and then I hold the power button and it shuts down and restarts and boots just fine. At this point the computer works perfectly fine. I shut down the computer every night and upon restarting each morning, the process is the same; the first startup is a black screen and the second time it boots fine.
To The YES Man, thank you for making videos like this one that share how to diagnose PCs. A part of what I know and apply to my own and my friends' PCs came from your content and they would be surely useful in the future for me
Nice. My Ryzen 2700 recently stopped working after a windows insider update... Fixed it with taking CMOS battery out. Had just put a 3070 in it and petrified it was that!
