Fixing a Broken PC - Episode 2 

Another great troubleshooting video. I do prefer these over the build guides. Although I do like them too.

Loving these problem solving videos! Also loving the nostalgia! Spent 6 months in Carrickfergus back in '95 and loved it!

Yes I enjoy these videos, and they are really useful for builders who get stuck. You might want to show people how to take the motherboard out of a case and rest it on a its cardboard box to eliminate the possibility of shorts, and how to do a BIOS flashback. I know these are simple to do for experienced builders, but things like this would have really helped me a few years ago. Some faults to introduce at some point might be: plastic still left on the heat sink face, fans blowing the wrong way, wrong or out-dated BIOS for the CPU, insufficient power supply and only 1 8-pin cable on the GPU (when it needs 2). I actually had a weird issue on my last build where my front USB 3.0 cable was really, really, really difficult to push onto the motherboard header pins. I honestly thought I was going to break the motherboard (Asus B650E). My PC refused to boot or even light up, and after maybe an hour of trouble-shooting I reseated the USB 3.0 cable, which was still unbelievably stiff, and boom! PC started. So the moral of the story - check every connection, even the ones you don't think matter, or even remove the non-essential cables.

07:46 Right! I keep a few of those speakers on hand for "if all else fails" use. 👍🏼

Thanks for another thrilling case.

Cheers guys, was fun!

Nice video. This one seems like it was shorter and easier to diagnose due to fewer ( Issues ). Overall entertaining though.

Bought a pc from declan tonight for my niece absolute gentleman you definitely get a sub from me 👍👍

Another informative n helpful video👍

I so look forward to these videos

That cooler is a ''slight'' overkill for the i5 10400. 😂 Btw Intel is usualy not so picky with different RAM sticks as long as they are the same speed and latency. They usualy work but you mite have issues with XMP profiles. You would most likely need to do some manual tuning. But yeah having a kit of same RAM is always best. 🙂

PCIE caables should be 2x separated, not 1x, that is an issue for sure. AND 500w psu is not gonna cut it, is choke point. Always 700w for modern gaming by default.

loosen the gpu screws, lift up that corner some and tighten them back up should get rid of some sag

Found the issue, the sticker is still on the glass panel

Why don't people just buy a $10 gpu anti sag bracket?
