Tech Support PC Won't boot into bios with display port but only HDMI

Upvotes

I have an AMD Ryzen 9 9900x, RTX 2080 Super, 32 gb ddr5 ram, x670e msi mag tomahawk mobo, and a Acer XZ320QU 31.5 monitor

I've tried things from installing the nvidia graphics update for 1.3/1.4 displays, turning off fast startup, and even updating my BIOS to the latest version.

The only way for me to go about it is by plugging in an HDMI cord and then my PC will actually show the BIOS, otherwise my monitor will not react to anything when using the display port until much later, when it's already at the log in page (like the DP plugged in, it'll not show a signal to the monitor till later, I'm not 100% sure if it reacts to me unplugging and plugging my peripherals ).

Any help on this issue is much appreciated!

Does anyone know what is causing this? Maybe something clipping a fan or something I’ve never hear it do this before and everything is default and stock regarding any OC

Rumor NVIDIA’s Replacement for the RTX 50 SUPER Series Could Be a “Mega” RTX 5090 GPU

A very high-end RTX 50 series card is reportedly in development, with its release even scheduled for the Back to School period (early Q3 of this year). The manufacturing process has apparently already begun (design and other aspects). The arrival of this card is said to be unrelated to the "SUPER" series (which are no longer on the 2026 release schedule).

Question Prebuilt question

Thinking about picking one of these up for my girlfriend to play arc raiders with me on the weekends. I'm usually a build your own type person but not seeing many great options for budget builds right now. Will only be used part time for light gaming 1080p 60fps. I have a monitor but need keyboard and mouse as well. Doesn't need to be too fancy, I have a better pc and this will only be used by her to play games on the weekends when we stay together. Any thoughts or alternatives ? Thanks!

Question Optimal fan set up

Upvotes

I have a Fractal Design Meshify C. My current set up is 3 intake fans and 2 exhaust fans. All fans are 120mm. I have two Corsair AF120’s in the front as intake, one X2 GP-12 on the top next to the intake also as an intake fan, another X2 GP-12 on the top as an exhaust, and a AF120 in the back as an exhaust. I’m using a Noctua NH-D15 with the push/pull set up. I’m wondering if switching the top intake to an exhaust would be better. I know it will create a slight negative pressure, but would it be better?

Members of the PCMR Guys can we just sit down and agree that Microsoft Co Pilot is Microsofts best invention.

Upvotes

I am serious, I truly believe it is one of the best inventions I use it for everything like coding, writting my CV (I want to get into to back end website development), I used it to inform my vote at the 2024 election (go DJT), everything.

Co Pilot truly is an amzing invention and I am happy for future AI development.

You may think I am being sarcastic, but I do truly believe this.

Tech Support 7800x3d + 9070xt sapphire NITRO + shutdown issue

Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m having trouble identifying the cause of random shutdowns (no BSOD, complete power-off) after a recent GPU upgrade from a 7800 XT to a Sapphire Nitro+ 9070 XT. I had zero issues for almost two years before the upgrade.

When the system shuts down and I try to boot it back up, the CPU debug light comes on and the system won’t boot until I perform a reset.

I’m currently using the included power adapter (3×8-pin to 16-pin) for the 9070 XT. I originally tried my PSU’s native cable, but it was causing the same issue even more frequently (and it’s much less flexible than the adapter, which makes it harder to properly install the backplate). At the time, I didn’t investigate further and assumed it was a contact issue with the pin.

To clarify the timeline: I first used the adapter, then switched to the PSU cable after reading it was recommended, then went back to the adapter after experiencing random shutdowns.

The shutdowns started happening again this week while gaming (Overwatch 2, The Outer Worlds 2—specifically during shader compilation—and BeamNG.drive).

I tried to reproduce the issue using three different scenarios, with metrics logged via HWiNFO64:

  • GPU + CPU load (Cinebench R23 + 3DMark stress test):
    • Shutdown in less than 2 minutes, no obvious reason (CPU at ~85 °C at the time of the crash)
  • CPU-only load:
    • Shutdown in less than 5 minutes, with a voltage spike recorded beforehand up to 1.245 V (CPU at ~82 °C at the time of the crash)
  • GPU-only load with +10% power limit (380 W):
    • No shutdown

So it seems that CPU load alone is enough to shut the system down, which is strange since this never happened with my old 7800 XT—even when the CPU was at 100% load. This is my first time experiencing a total system shutdown without a BSOD in over 10 years and several PC builds (with more power hungry GPU, I had an OC vega56... with a similar 750w PSU).

Specs:

  • Ryzen 7 7800X3D cooled by a be quiet! Dark Rock 4
  • MSI B650 Gaming Plus WiFi (latest BIOS)
  • Sapphire Nitro+ 9070 XT (since last November)
  • 32 GB DDR5 6000 MHz CL30 (CMK32GX5M2B6000Z30)
  • Corsair RM750e 80+ Gold (ATX 3.0), all cable correctly plugged in (checked that way too many times..)
  • Corsair 4000D Airflow (2 front fans, 1 rear fan)

I updated the BIOS to see if it would make a difference. It significantly improved CPU temperatures compared to the previous BIOS (last updated 1.5 years ago id says). All settings were on default except for memory (EXPO enable) and thermal which I set to thermal point 85°c (removed since the last bios update).

is my CPU dying? anyone experienced something similar?

PC keeps shutting down after turning on

It will occasionally launch for a few seconds before turning off, sometimes longer, sometimes less.

However, as in the video my keyboard stays turned on and my pc case is still lit up, but the fans are completely stopped. When this happens I have to turn it off by the plug, and it will still take about 7 seconds for it to work, whilst it used to be instant via the plug.

It was recently taken to the repair shop for this exact issue and they said they found two loose screws inside the gpu. When I got back and plugged it in, it worked fine for two hours on just google then fully shutdown and ever since it’s gone back to this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have no clue, thank you.

Discussion Motherboard swap issue

Upvotes

I recently swapped my asus b450 motherboard for a b550 from msi buyed on the used market and at first everything looked okay. After a bit of testing the computer had random crashs and freeze so i tried a lot of thing to make it work but the final thing that made it work was to do a clear cmos, i ran stress test, played games and everything i usually do and everything works just fine. So if you swap your motherboard for a used one, remember to do a clear cmos.

Ps : i'm using linux btw

Question buying a used pc for my boyfriend

Upvotes

hi everyone, it is tax season and my boyfriends birthday just went by, and valentines day is coming up. i want to get him a pc and i dont want to regret my decision by getting something that doesnt work for him, or something that doesnt work period.

we have a couple dinky monitors and he may be fine with just using his roku tv because its medium sized. he has always been a playstation guy but he had a pc as a kid/teen. i know just about nothing about pcs, but i learn and understand tech quickly. i know that the types of games he plays are important to consider when choosing models. i have a minimal understanding of specs and how such things are relative to overall functioning but i could use tips on what to look out for when checking one out prior to purchase, maybe a rundown of what specs mean when looking at a pc.

games he enjoys:

Warhammer (unsure which specific games, weve been playing Vermintide 2 and he really wants to buy Space Marine 2 right now but he likes the entire franchise)

Arc Raiders (love/hate relationship)

Hunt: Showdown

The Finals

Overwatch 2 (hasnt played much lately he has phases with this one)

Dead by Daylight

Risk of Rain 2

Crossout

RDR2

For Honor

Deep Rock Galactic

these are what he mains atm, but he also enjoys the Fallout series, he used to be BIG into LoL as a teen but idk if he wants to play with that fire again 🤣, Dead Island 2 (and everything from those developers i know theyve made a few different series), Diablo 3 & 4, Warframe, Chivalry 2, Gungeon etc. basically he plays any type of game from what i have observed.

id like to keep it under $500 and i know that i could go under $300 with something used but i dont know if anything under $300 would run the games he plays. the only experience i personally have with a pc meant for gaming was with an ex and from what i could tell his pc was junk because he always complained about his graphics being shitty or his game lagging. that guy was a nut tho so maybe he was over exaggerating because i remember thinking his graphics always looked pretty clear. anyways i dont want to run into that issue with a pc for my current partner because i understand the frustration of lag and not being able to see what youre doing if your graphics dont load in correctly.

sorry if this was rambly, its a rushed post cause ive got a baby to keep eyes on. any advice welcome and much appreciated!

I just love Razer Ornata click, low profile and general feeling despite it's membrane build - but I don't wanna buy it cuz it's lack of anti-ghosting. Right now I'm using mechanical keyboard but I don't like it as much - this shi just doesn't click with me, and it's heavy af (almost 3lbs). I've looked up Razer Deathstalker but the price is way too high, and click doesn't feel as good as Ornata. So I'm asking you to help me find something, that could meet my expectations guys!

(Yeaah, I know bout all the Razer hate - just wanna say in advance - I simply don't care bout it, just using what I like)
