    In the past couple weeks, while gaming, my computer has suddenly powered off with no warning. When this occurs, strangely, the PC's internal RGB remains on, while everything else powers off. My fans stop spinning, monitors stop receiving signals, and power button doesn’t do anything until I...

    Hello, I bought a brand new prebuilt PC from iBuyPower. It's been working perfectly for a few days. Last night I put it to sleep and went to bed. Today when I woke up it was still sleeping, but clicking the keyboard or mouse wouldn't wake it up. I decided to power it off by holding the power...

    So my pc stopped working some days ago, pressing power button or sorting the board pins do nothing now, I've faced this same problem last year as well, where it will work normally at the computer shop but wouldn't start at home.

    Solved Pc & monitors turn off mid or after boot

    I power on my pc and mid boot everything disconnects, like my two monitors, keyboard, mouse and all my fans ramp up to max speed. All I see is a black screen, no pop ups, no blue sceen. I have to switch off my psu (I can’t turn it off at all, the only way is through the psu switch when this...

    "No signal" on monitor, and PC won't turn off

    Since few weeks ago, my custom desktop started showing a "No Signal" on the monitor when booting, but I usually remove the HDMI cable on both sides and put it back after some forced shutdowns by holding the power button. This morning, the same thing happened again, but after quite a while, the...

    Solved Overheating and power usuage issues

    Seemingly very suddenly I've started having heating issues with my laptop (specs below). This is the first heating issue I've had and it's seemingly come out of nowhere. It's worth stating now that I have a fairly badly bloated battery, but as you'll see if you read on, I don't believe it is the...

    RGB Fan-Hub connections dodgy/not working - any help?

    So a while back all the RGB fans in on my computer simply switched off after a strange restart (I don't know how to explain it but the computer restart was just abnormal). I looked at the fan-hub controller to see if the issue was perhaps a battery failure but the fans still respond when I press...

    Solved Asus laptop won't turn unless I plug in the power chord.

    I bought an Asus Zephyrus GX701GWR about a year ago, and its been wonderful until 3 days ago, when I unplugged it (while the battery showed as 100% charger) and the laptop just went dead. I tried to power it back on but I could not, unless I connected it to the AC adapter. Thing is, I just used...
