Greg... your channel is constantly featuring the dos and don'ts of PC building, and you decide to grab the sponsor that attempts to produce everything at the lowest possible level above a fire hazard? I understand monetization is very important for how you run things, but unless this was literally the only sponsor you could secure for this video, I think we can do better. I appreciate that you worded the sponsor segment carefully, but companies like HP and Dell should never get attention from a channel of your caliber.

@@ForlebTF no company in the industry is free of sin. I can't vouch if the motherboards or other pc parts they make are designed by the same department or even factory that made those garbage PSU. But GB has been in the MB industry decades with more experience with them while their PSU line are very recent. Or would you rather ask ASUS for their MB who recently became fire hazards? while I haven't heard mass cases of GB MBs exploding in recent memory? Funny enough over 2 and a half decades of assembling my own PCs I've gone over half a dozen ASUS and half a dozen GB MB's and I've had more failures with Asus ones. Or go for MSI or ASRock if you don't mind them pressuring or blacklisting you if you don't give them positive reviews. Or scrape the bottom of the barrel for Biotek or ECS?

One thing i haven't really seen in this series is the use of the PC speaker header for debug beep codes for motherboards without POST code or debug LEDs. They are cheap enough to have around just in case, to speed up the process of finding the source of issue. Doesn't help all the time, but in this case the board would probably beeped the usual 1 long, 2 short beeps for RAM issue.

@GregSalazar 2 года назад

As someone who's basically been working on computers since I was like 10 years old, I love this series. I'm not a fulltime PC troubleshooter but it is my passion, and I am the one my friends turn to when they have PC or even Mac issues (I do work on Apple stuff fulltime much to my dismay but at least it's some form of computer troubleshooting). This series has also helped to solidify my troubleshooting. I have also learned a few things from watching these as some are rare to come across and I would not even think of checking such as the case I/O board not working, or possibly a SATA cable causing the computer to delay POST for more than a minute. Thank you so much for this series, Greg! Much appreciated content.

Had a similar build through ibuyPower , same case with different some different hard-ware. was running great until mine did the same thing! ended up being the old ssd, switched to m.2 and put in a new PSU as well. butchered the cable management but otherwise worked great. Until a few months ago my cpu temps starting climbing into the mid 90's. Gave up on the rig and started putting together a new up[graded build. I came across your channel about two weeks ago & I gotta tell ya, just listening to you go through the steps of basic trouble shooting has increased my understanding of PC's SO much. You keep things simple as, every problem has an answer. I watched your video on a build that had high cpu temps & it turned out to be the aio cooler caked in some sort of growth. that video gave me the confidence to take mine apart and investigate the cooler & it looked exactly like that one except a lot worse lol. Its running in the mid 50's now under load & feels great. Already bought the new PC though :p kind of fun to have the old one to practice installs or trouble shoot/test gear. Thank you!!

@matickovacevic7855 Год назад

sometimes the ram dims(contacts) can get dirty or something so you can use an eraser and rub it on the contacts of the ram and most of the time you will get an post out of that ram that you thin is dead,try this on the ram idk why it does that but after u run the eraser over the contacts it usually works

@kevinintheusa8984 Год назад

I picked up an ibuypower system for our son to play games on way back in 2017 and it ran just fine. Since then we have upgraded memory, GPU ( GeForce RDX 3080), PSU (1000 watts) and other little tweaks. It is still going strong and he can play anything he wants on it. My only complaint has been that the case is difficult to route power lines around and the back side always looks like crap BUT it plays fine and he doesn't really get into the RGB and color stuff anyway. To be honest, the next upgrade will likely be a new MB and chipset along with memory but we are stalling until prices come down, if they ever do. Great video series that I watch since I am the guy in our home building most of our systems. I think since 1993, I have built or helped build over 200 systems for friends, relatives, or folks that I work with. The only thing I have not done is add a AIO on a system. That may be my next thing.

@GeekinaCave 2 года назад

Hi just 2 suggestions: - try to get a small speaker for pc, sometimes that helps a lot to diagnose with beep codes. - a diagnostics card like the TL460 or the more modern TL611, those can be connected in the TRM port and add HEX post codes and diagnostic leds to old motherboards; very useful for Flix or Flop. 👍

@HappyBeezerStudios 2 года назад

Yeah, I still have the classic null method in my head. Start with removing everything but the CPU. Then it should give an error related to missing RAM Next add the RAM and it should give an error due to lack of graphics. Add the graphics card and it should post and complain about a missing boot drive.

on my current rig, I initially installed the AMD Cpu fan in the wrong direction of the lever included in their stock stuff. the tension caused some memory channels not to work. with proper mounting, all was good. it's an 2700x

@CoreyPL День назад

I know at this point this is an old video, but maybe it will be useful to someone: That A-DATA RAM is not from a kit of 8 modules. 8X8G describes that this single module is constructed from 8 memory chips, each one having the capacity of 8Gbit. So 8*8Gbit = 64Gbit = 8GByte. You can see that when Greg removed the heatsink - 8 chips on one side and the other side is empty. This is the way manufacturers spec their memory module on the label - number of chips, capacity of chips (in bits, not bytes) and number of sides those chips are installed on.

@allanbrown2533 2 года назад

I build and fix a lot of PC's. Something that helps me diagnose as simple as it sounds is having a keyboard plugged in on the initial boot. If the numlock key lights up it posts but the monitor isn't getting signal - Helps eliminate some troubleshooting steps.

@HappyBeezerStudios 2 года назад

I had some interesting case recently where the keyboard would start up slower than the motherboard was posting, preventing me from entering BIOS. In the end I had to get my old PS/2 keyboard that worked instantly. Another thing to keep in mind is having a way to get the error codes. Usually with one of those piezo speakers (I keep a couple spare ones just in case) but many boards nowadays have a little 7-segment display that gives out a hex code. That stuff helps immensely with figuring out at which point it hands.

@colcha 2 года назад

Another informative video. One thing I did notice is under the gpu chip, in the upper right, it looks like four pins melted and doesn’t look like it should be like that, unless I’m out to lunch. It’s four pins from the right in the smaller square of pins.

@xavierlim3870 2 года назад

Modern solder balls rarely go bad (according to Louis Rossman). Usually, if a chip goes bad, reballing/reflowing won't be the fix since literally that specific IC is fried/dead/dying. You'd have to replace the whole module. Reflowing is a temporary zombification fix that only works on chips that have substrates.

@CoreyPL День назад

Both DDR4 and DDR5 modules do not have a straight line pins as a design. DDR3 and earlier do have straight line pins. Curved edge is there to help with insertion and alleviate stress on the PCB during memory installation.

I have replaced the unbranded 600 watt PSU that came with it for an Evga 800 watt so i could upgrade my GPU ,the 1060 still works but I got a 3070 Aorus master on the super cheap from a buddy. Now I have a gaming bottleneck like I can't comprehend!

Just pointing out...That Asus Prime H270 Plus motherboard is on the original BIOS (0318). There's several updates that bring better system compatibility & better CPU microcode. The newest BIOS says it'll enable it to go to Windows 11, but to my understanding the minimum is an 8th gen Intel CPU...did they change the specs? Plus there's IME firmware updates for it. Another good fix or flop though!

love your videos man, they definitely help teach stuff even i didn't know sometimes i am totally wrong with what the issue was it's really fun.

Greg: I believe your GPU is an R5-220A non-OEM version. I have a card that looks identical and I use it for the exact same purpose. Also, the 8Gx8 does not mean it's an 8 GB x 8 module kit. The 16 in the model number AX4U240038G16-BRZ indicates that it is a 16 GB kit. The 8Gx8 is number of chips and data width in bits on each side of the module.

wrote it on another video as well but looks a lot like an XFX HD 5450. could be wrong but I know that looked very similar and was passively cooled.

Just started the video and the first thought I had when seeing the computer brand/system integrator was "well, there's the problem!".

I've never had good luck with Adata's products. Nothing but horrible experiences with their SSDs. I'm a total brand loyalist, and I always try to branch out, but I always find myself returning to brands that I had the least amount of issues. Asus and Samsung, for instance, have always been rock solid for me.
