Hi everyone, this is my pc in the video. I am forever grateful to Greg for fixing this for me, the original problem in the build was constant boot cycling, not the motherboard being fried. I suppose I accidentally plugged the floppy cable in while I was putting it back together and was too sleep deprived to notice. As for the GPU, it is long gone now and replaced with an actual on brand 2080-ti. I know the computer was dirty as I did not have any compressed air or cleaning supplies and the case is way too small to get in there and really clean. If you have any questions lmk.

@stephenhood2948 Месяц назад

I had bought a few prebuilts before, but decided to build my next PC. While building it I told myself there is no way I would leave the plastic on the AIO coldplate. Got the motherboard in the case and realized I didn't put the AIO backplate on the motherboard. Took it back out, threw the backplate on and promptly proceeded to install the AIO with the plastic on the coldplate. Luckily I caught it right away, so it was just a matter of a bit more thermal paste, but the moral of the story is mistakes happen. Don't sweat it.

@williehrmann Месяц назад

My old system had uptimes of 600 to 800 days because I was afraid restarting alone would bring it to never Start up again. That happened a lot. Needed to run Windows repair which also failed a lot of times. Chkdsk helfen sometimes. Mind you my hdd Was from 3 Systems Backwards from 2004. The win 7 install from 2009 and Was in 3 systems before and never updates because Updates didnt work. Was a 3770k, 16 GB ddr3, 1070 and Windows 7 rig. I upgraded in 2022. That very hdd is still now in my System and running. It shows low health but it works as side storage to my m.2. I think the bearings ran down over the 20 years of constantly spinning so it vibrates a lot. so much so that even with decoupling my whole Bigtower will vibrate violently when it turns on and starts spinning. I'm surprised that the head can still read data from there.

@mozzjones6943 9 дней назад

Something that seems to slip away in these PC build/fix videos is grounding. Static is still a real component killer, and only takes a small zap from your fingers (which you won't see or feel) to kill a ram stick (commonly) or motherboard or CPU or even GPU at the worst end! Just be cautious and touch anything that's grounded before you handle your business. Just touch the edge of your case or the metal parts of components or edge of PCBs before handling anywhere else to equalise any potential build up and you'll be cool.

@jeremyschillinger917 Месяц назад

When I was younger, only ever had 1 PC in the home. And you are right, makes troubleshooting tricky since you don't want to just waste money buying parts. Now days, we have a few different PC's. And that has made troubleshooting so much easier.

@ichibi87 Месяц назад

You're so right about having extra components to test on. I used to test on a friend's system if I had problems (and vice versa) but these days people use laptops so when my system refused to post and I got VGA light on my ezDebug LEDs I didn't have a system to test my GPU or Mobo. Stuck with a dead system and guessing it's my mobo that's dead. It really is a blessing and privilege to have extra components for testing when there's issues. Great educational video as usual Greg (incredibly jelly about that new PSU/Mobo)

With that floppy power connector on a usb header you either short 12v to ground, so the psu would shut down immediately. Or you send 12v onto the 5v rail, which almost certainly breaks stuff all around the board...

Never been this early, can't wait to see it! Edit: A very good job, and you are right about the pain of not having components on hand. When I was on holiday visiting my girlfriend in Mexico (from the EU myself) I had no parts on hand. Bought a new PSU and motherboard because they were the most likely. No react to even the screwdriver power on, but the USB still had power. "Luckily" it was only the PSU that died, so the motherboard got exchanged for a new SSD, she only had 240GB

Well done Greg!!! That was a tough one and , you're right! I was glad that you mentioned the ability to have extra components to use as a test bench that most don't have at their disposal. It really irritates me when content creators just gloss over the fact that most people don't have rooms full of spare parts to play with to diagnose a system. I don't know why that bothers me but it does. I also would like to give you much respect for what you do (and yes we know your sponsors help greatly with the costs) because it's rare to see someone just reach out to people to help and not expect anything in return. Imagine what our world would be like if more people did this type of thing? I do it all the time but my expertise is in construction and renovation. I've helped build dozens of Habitat For Humanity houses over the years and worked in areas effected by tornados and hurricanes all over the Southeast and Midwest and have been volunteering now for about 15 years. At 64, I'm finding I can't do the things I did just ten years ago but I will never stop trying to give back to my community in some way. That's how I'm built. It gives me hope to see the younger generation doing the same kind of thing! Love the channel and I'll keep watching cause even though I'm old, I still learn new things every day! Keep up the good work!

Had a similar issue a few months ago with my psu. We had power issues in our neighborhood and it took out my PSU and my GPU. Got a new GPU and I heard that sound and I also thought it was coil whine so I swapped out that psu for a friends which did the trick for a while then it also start making that sound because the power issues weren’t over. Don’t understand what happened because I had my pc plugged into a surge protector but from what I was told the voltage was fluctuating and that’s what did it for those pc components. Should out to the guys in your discord Greg for helping me out. Keep doing the good things that you do 🙏🏽.

This one was an expensive one Greg. The IBP PSU is ridiculous levels of overkill, I would consider it a lifetime PSU for most people. The buzzing noise was indicative of the power supply failing but I think the motherboard was fine just before the rig was sent to you. However, once the user reassembled and plugged in the floppy connector to the RGB connector on the motherboard and (probably) power cycled it for the last time that was the coup de grace for it.
