PC building tips

kapowblamzkapowblamz Member Posts: 1,586
I'm building a new pc today and I couldn't be more excited. I haven't come up with a coping strategy in case the delivery guy is late yet, tho. I hope we'll be fine.

At the same time if anyone needs tips on new builds or upgrades then ask here and maybe I or someone else can advise.

Changing parts is very very simple. Far more simple than one might think

This is what I'm building:
Ryzen 5 3600 CPU
Radeon RX 5700 GPU
32GB DDR4 @3.2MHz

So much excitement I won't bore you with the finer details. This is way overkill for a poker pc so I don't recommend going out and buying these parts or anything even close.

This is me right now waiting

    HI,

    Ive just seen this post.

    I have a gaming machine with 2 graphic cards , that I believe was built to spec( though I could be wrong) by its previous owner.

    It gave up the ghost around a year ago , one day it wouldnt turn on , power would reach the motherboard but the machine wouldnt fire up.

    I tinkered about for a while with it, removing graphic cards and other removables and I norrowed it down to maybe one of the RAM cards corrupted ( if thats what happens to them) . The motherboard did display a red light when the machine failed to boot which led me to my conclusion.

    Which was, 2 new memory cards were needed, but decided against buying two, incase it wasnt that.

    So I ended up aquiring a HP allin one , for my poker fix , and it was much less hassle.

    My question to you is.

    Is there any way to find out if its definately faulty RAM without buying more first?

    So sorry mumsie. Only just seen these posts. How the **** did I miss them??

    Scanning memtest in command prompt will check for bad sectors on ram. You need to be able to boot to do that tho!
    Trial and error is how you solve non boot problems. It can be any item. Did it beep on boot?
    2 x gpu is power intensive so could be psu. It can be the psu even tho seemingly power is coming through.
    If you can't even enter bios then it's probably mobo, ram, or cpu. Try 1 ram stick at a time.

    Will post pics when I get back from Manchester of my new setup.

    I can't believe I missed these posts....
