What? I was trying to help you, but your incompetence simply prevents me from doing so.

Sounds like PSU failure. I had the same problem when mine died last time.
>>
>>58656841
its sad that the only thing you can be proud of is putting together some lego style system
>>
>>58656808
Try disassembling the PC, cleaning every part thoroughly, and re-assembling it carefully, applying fresh thermal paste for the HSF. You might have unplugged something when installing your new fans, or bumped something.

Also

-try taking out the graphics card and staying with integrated.
-try using only one stick of RAM

The idea is to figure out what component is causing the issue.

No the point is I asked for help, someone told me I needed to give more info, I gave the wrong info and instead of then telling me what to give he was a smug cunt about it and just complained. There are 4 other IPs in this thread and yoy are the only one to offer any actual advice
>>
>>58656985
You're the one posting pictures of your case and heatsink when you have trouble with your psu and fans mate.
>>
>>58656985
Calm down, and think about what you are saying:
>Some people were smug on 4chan
Your efforts can be directed towards finding a solution to your PC problem, or they can be directed towards getting angry people being mean on 4chan.

So I keep seeing shit that says its the PSU when I google this. I'm pretty sure its not my ram or CPU, my temps all stay low and I used memtest as long as I could before it restarted. Whats a new PSU I can get for less than $200? I'd rather not get another EVGA 750 supernova G2
>>
>>58657305

Have you tried this yet?
>>58656857

Or would you rather just buy a new psu that may or may not fix your problem?
>>
>>58657331
I tried it yes, I changed the thermal paste for the first time, took put one of the ram sticks, changed the slot the ram is in, put it on integrated and took out the GPU, and set all my fans to lowest speed in BIOS in addition to turning my PSU on eco mode.
Running on eco made gave me 10 minutes
Running off of eco gave me 7
These are better times than usual, seeing as how the most I've used it in the past week is an hour, but when I google my problem it boils down to a problem with windows or a problem with the PSU
>>
>>58657522
Is the PSU installed correctly... with the intake fan having free access to air? Did you check that the PSU fans are spinning, and that the intake is clean from dust?
>>
>>58657522
Probably is the psu, just strange that it started happening after changing fans. Which should be simple. Are the fans spinning? Is anything hot to the touch?
>>
>>58657548
Intake is perfectly clean, PSU is installed correctly (keep in mind this PSU has ran fine for 2 years) and yes, the fans are spinning. I ordered a G3 1000w fromEVGA, hopefully this problem isn't very common
>>
>>58657562
Putting in new fans was extremely simple, but after I installed them I booted up my pc, played some rust and then after I exited rust it restarted by itself. It happened a couple weeks later after exiting warframe, and a day or so after that 3 times. As of this week I can hardly keep the thing on and sometimes it reboots several times before I can even open the BIOS. Like I said here
>>58657563
Fans are spinning, and speccy shows low temps, and when i was fiddling with it literal seconds after I shut it off I found nothing hot to the touch.
>>
>>58657578
>after I installed them
How long after? First time booting?
>>
>>58657632
Yeah, less than an hour after installation. But it got more frequent and continued after I took out the fans yesterday
>>
>>58657563
>1000w
why?
>>
>>58657649
It was cheaper than the 850 where I bought it, and I figure future proofing might be a good idea if I get a new cpu/gpu this year
>>
>the way he's holding that AK
No wonder Africa is constantly at war, nobody is getting shot.
>>
>>58657646
That's some fucked up timing if it is the psu. If you've already ordered it you might as well just wait and see if that fixes it. Good luck.
>>
Sounds like PSU issue for me. Experienced same problem years ago. Try borrowing PSU from a friend or from some store with good return policy.
>>
>>58656857
the based falcon strikes again
>>
Whatever it is good luck man

I WAS HAVING PSU ISSUES WITH MY FIRST BUILD THIS SUMMER

WENT TO BEST BUY AND BORROWED "PURCHASED A PSU AND THEN RETURNED IT" TO TROUBLESHOOT MY TROUBLES AWAY

JUST DO THIS RATHER THAN BUYING A NEW FUCKING THING WHOLE OK
>>
AND JUST JOIN A PCMR/GAYMEN GROUP ON FACEBOOK FOR YOUR FUTURE STUPID QUESTIONS PLEASE, THEY ARE LIKELY TO BE MORE HELPFUL AND WE'D RATHER NOT NEWFAGS SPAM OUR BOARD BUT OH WELL

WAIT FOR RYZEN LOL
>>
you got defective fans that had bad connectors. When you connected them it short circuited something. Now your entire system is fucked thanks to your new fans.

Welp, time to build a new PC or finally switch to consoles.
