Not gonna lie me too, but my problem is the mobo didn't recognize my ssd. So it booted up to my harddisk, then i enter the BIOS to change the boot settings but the option is only my harddisk. I have an idea to buy a new ssd but i rather save my money to buy a new one... (edit: i rather save my money for a new PC).
I had a similar problem a few days ago. But mine was from me installing a new graphics card and since I used the VGA output on my old one and my new one didn't, I ordered a VGA to display port adapter. And my monitor would lose signal booting into windows after BIOS.
I've had so many people who've bought PC's I've built come back to me and tell me the computer straight up doesn't work, when in reality they were just plugging it into the motherboard not the GPU... the oldest trick in the book
i use caps for those ports. they're extremely cheap if you got them in bulk. just google hdmi/ vga cap for those who don't know what it was. i started using them during the e-sata time when some boards and laptops comes with those port. i'm still using caps even now for vrious other ports. it saves a lot of headache, plus it also adds to aesthetics, imho.
Yeah maybe you should be blocking those ports instead of leaving them available for that mistake to be made. You can buy a pack of 100 from eBay for less than $20. Do you charge them for this mistake when they bring it to you?
my case is the other way around. i plugged to the motherboard for a test but the gpu is not working. btw, is tweaking around power settings on control panel can caused this? because that's what i did before the gpu start failing. the gpu fan is spinning though
@@Mopantsu No, you don't. You can explicitly choose which files you want to delete and the cleanup utility doesn't delete any personal files anyways (besides the content of the recycling bin if you want).
I was facing the same issue, PC power on but it's just couldn't post. It turns out the motherboard is faulty and I had to sent it back to the seller to fix it and It was my first time building my own PC. Now I finally can use after they send me the brand new motherboard. Great video as always!
@ Mansoor Haque . If you liked that , then you shall love this :)) For the bother-some & insulting type of people I write , "Connect Monitor Here . Don't Ask Why" . Honest 🤣
I've done similar to ones I know are not that tech savvy, and will put stickers to all the ports saying attach monitor here, keyboard/mouse here, etc.. Now someone in my family like my elder aunt, or mother, I just go do it for them, and show them, and tell them turn it on here, and I don't even bother with putting a normal Linux distro like Manjaro , or Windows on their system, but Chromium OS, so I don't even have to tell them how to apply updates, as all they do are basic task anyways, and Chromium OS is more than good enough for that.
I’ve put neatly cut black tape on ports I don’t want people to use. They tend to resort to eyeing the whole back of the case and find other matching ports rather than peeling :)
A quick start guide also works. If you are in the business, it doesn't take that long to make a guide that shows how to plug in the power and connect your monitor.
I know a man that used to own a public gaming shop, where people paid to game on his computers. I sat down in front one of his computers and noticed that it was very slow. Upon inspection he had about 5% of the hard drive free and it was heavily fragmented. I told him that 15% of the drive should be free just to defrag it. And that is why it took so long to defrag your computer, as you know. In the past I have reiterated, time and again, that people should regularly defrag their hard drives because Microsoft Windows throws data all over the drive and frequent defragmenting takes very little time, whereas waiting 2 years takes much longer to defrag. Another great video, thank you.
Hey, just letting you know this video saved my ass. Armored Core launches tonight and my pc wouldn't connect to my replacement monitor after my primary detonated. Thank you.
I'd just like to thank you Brian as I used one of your links for a cheap Windows 10 key and I got one for £2.00. Thank you so much and keep up the great work 😁👍
love your channel! I didn't format my flashback usb to fat32, when trying to update my msi mb b450 mortar and didn't realise that was the problem for 6 hours of trying!!! It's either something you've overlooked or something you've presumed is ok without checking. Like power cables.
Just wanted to say thank you. You inspired me to do part hunt and flip pc's in my local city. The market is incredible specially after you gave some TLC to second hand parts.
Nice to see that you still help out your old costumers ... I once had a system that had stability issues and after eventually replacing everything it turned out it was the mainboard that had issues However after 3 RMA’s it still had the same issues and the store where I bought it gave me a full refund to get a replacement board ... got myself the R4BE and never had those issues again 😁
Long time watcher , first time teaching out. Love the content my friend. I too run a similar operation , though not nearly as big as you and it’s really good to see others doing it. I need to get me one of those data vacs you use. Air blowers do not clean so good. I also started using the break cleaner to bring faulty pc parts back and it works more times then not.
I've had a datavac for years and it's ROI has been huge. More uses outside of a pc as well, great for detailing engine bays as well and getting hard to reach areas cleaned out.
Great video Brian. Looks a little warm there in the studio, I hope you aren't near the fires that are causing so much trouble down under. Thanks for this.
Literally had this problem last week. The guys (who built my pc) tried to find out what's wrong with my PC and not gonna lie, I remembered one of your vids about bent pin on mobo and told them that and turned out there's actually a bent pin! They apologized, got me a new mobo and now everything's fine. Putting my TechYES luvin' knowledge to good use lol.
hi sir bryan good day...im a new fan of youre channel and i came from the philippines i love youre vid about x58 and the xeons...im a little confuse about it is the xeon x5670 ok in 2020 ? im kinda curious..and the asus p6t se mobo is it worth it? im planning on building my rig with that but im a little scared...thanks a lot in advance...love youre vids sir....keep it up...
I've had someone send back a PC with this exact problem (no signal, PC not turning on). It turned out to be a bad CMOS battery. The thing is, if you removed the motherboard battery and reset the mobo, the PC would boot fine with the bad battery. That is until you remove power from the PC (which happens when you go to give the customer their PC back!). I noticed this at my workbench and managed to fix the issue before sending it back. PC works like a charm now. I've also learned that you have to be careful with temps. I had a 2700K getting 60c after a 4 hour stress test OC'd to 4.2 GHz but at the customer's house they were getting 80c+. I rarely overclock builds any more as it's just too hard to predict what kind of environment the PC is going into.
I used to have that exact problem on my previous PC I build 4 years ago. Re-attaching the RAM sticks make it work real good afterwards. This problem happens all of the time after doing some maintenance. Also older ASUS Motherboards won't boot because of putting "too much" thermal paste due to its sensor for pressure requirements of the CPU Heatsink applied. This took me a while to figure it out but thankfully it was a common problem in some older forums that I was able to track it down.
I can see scratches on your video feed .. and this is not the first video i watched with that concern is it static from your camera or something .. just thought of asking :D love all info you bring keep it up..
I have a datavac but previously I've used a rigid wet dry vacuum 16 gallon to clean out the dust. It has way more horsepower especially for cleaning those really dirty PCs.
I just wanted to say thank you for informative videos, such as this one. I'm just starting out a PC repair shop and this video was really useful. PS Looks like Aussie Land is having the same temps as here in South Africa. My PC really isn't liking these ambient temps. 34 deg c indoors, today.
Hello Tech yes city, I have bought a pc from you about a year ago the first one u gave me didn’t work so u gave me a different one, works fine but I realized my pc only took USB microphones and headsets, everything that wasn’t a USB wasn’t recognized, can u please tell me what to buy or do to fix this problem.
you can get a replacement fan from the manufacture of the cooler for a few usd/ gbp / aud charge for diagnostics and labor. or if unavailable replace cooler all together. best to find alternative fan
ive been repairing laptops, pc's and servers for a living for over 10 years. from board level repairs like Luis Rossmann to component replacement. ive seen a few systems that are easy to repair like this, where you just clear out the cmos by either a switch on the mb or removing the battery. but thats rare in comparison to other common issues causing this problem.
I do the occasional computer repair gig. The last simple "repair" I did was a misdiagnosed faulty motherboard. Turned out that a full time "technician" claimed the motherboard was dead while, all it had wrong with it was the power supply unit. I guess since the pc was an "old" ddr2 lenovo desktop, the technician did not want to invest time in truly diagnosing the issue and just recommended the client to buy something more recent.
I would have put the non-LED fan replacement into the middle slot between the tower fins and placed the middle LED fan on the outside. Also, I've heard that using a leaf blower can clean the inside of the case/PC quite well. Sadly, some dust can cake on components and isn't easily removed.
What about malware cleanup? More often than not, when a PC comes to me as slow or "sluggish" it's infected with malware and, in some cases, worse. As good practice, after negating any HW issues, I will clean up w/ ccleaner and Hitman Pro. Defragging HDD's w/ Auslogics is quick and easy as well.
great video! yeah i had this issue a looong time ago on my old pc. and quick google search got me to remove battery and reset . solved the issue. how come owner couldnt find it??
What sort of cost for labor, troubleshooting time and services for this client. You went above and beyond. Did you do any additional services like scan for malware?
6:49 defrag doesn't hurt or help an ssd, in most cases it will just do nothing at all. on an ssd it might just readdress, but i think they stopped doing that ages ago, these day they just ignore it and report no fragmentation. and while it can help with an hdd, windows does it automatically since vista (even xp tried to) so fragmentation is unlikely to be a problem on a consumer desktop with a mechanical hdd.
I have had some complex and simple problems over the years. The first desktop I had supported an old steamroller CPU. The switch to Windows 10 killed the sata controller on that cheap old board, forcing me to upgrade my platform. Recently, I had a 5 year old power supply of mine start to die. I had been running that power supply for quite some time, and it started faltering occasionally when my system was running at full blast or even sometimes my system wouldn't have booted. I deduced from the behaviors exhibited that something relating to the motherboard power was the issue, as when my system would be running at full blast my computer would cut to a blank screen and then I would see the POST screen as if my computer just restarted. I tested with a spare known good PSU to confirm that this was the issue, and because I had a spare I was able to keep running my PC until a new one arrived. In a side note, my spare PSU is a huge Antec PSU that doesn't fit in my case so I had wires splayed out everywhere on my desk. I took pictures to show my friends and jokingly stated that my PC was on life support.
yep, and if that does not work reset the CMOS battery, and if you know that little battery is over 5 years old replace it, as they are not that expensive, unless we are talking a specific laptop one that might be non standard.
i will replace the battery. but i just want to ask is my gpu the problem? the fan is running but still no signal. no it's not the cable or the monitor, because i plugged the hdmi cable to the motherboard hdmi port and it worked. so should i replace the gpu too?
Stuff like this is why I love Linux as you can choose to create a swap partition on your boot SSD/HDD, during install, and not have to worry about not having the space for swap files, and no CD Key needed. But regardless yes even a 120GB SSD for the boot drive is a must for any OS, just be smart about your space.
Isn't the hdd faulty? Did you check s.m.a.r.t info? I also have used CCleaner for years to clean up drive. Most of the time it finds multiple GB's of temp files and junk.
Note 1: If a buyer brings a PC after 2 years of usage back to the seller then he has full trust in the seller... good job,TYC! Note 2: If a PC gets really slow (Start up takes like 5min) then open the Task Manager and look for "Trusted Installer" this eats up ram when Windows Updates went wrong it put that data in a secure portion of the ram and locks it. Itcan use more than 80% of RAM which slows down your PC like hell and will be reloaded each time you restart your PC. There are many guides to fix this on the web. 😉
Datavac is king especially since you can easily take it outside so blowing dust around isnt a big deal, also no risk of static or accidental damage via vaccuum
A problem I've been running into a lot on lga 1150 sockets with big tower coolers is the slightest bump from moving the PC or a cat running into or what have you and the thing wont post or if it does post, it has a dead memory channel. Pull the cooler, re-seat the cpu, put it all back together and they come back to life.
What's the best way to fix Mechanical Keyboard's Chattering Problem (aka keys registering 2-3 times despite pressing it once)? It does get annoying and searching on TH-cam have been mixed lately.
We're both fans plugged into the CPU header? If the CPU cooler fans don't come with passthrough and the one connected to the CPU header it won't boot, it's a bios boot protection, very common :)
Easy fix Bryan. Interesting to see a cpu fan die. The second fan should have been enough unless the cpu was overclocked. Some boards show an error when the cpu fan isn't detected. Does an X58 board have 2 cpu fan connection points. I used to use 60gb ssd's back in the win xp/7 days so the OS has not been on an hdd for about 10 years. If you install a new ssd does Windows recognise that the motherboard already has a windows 10 key associated with it? Cheers, Mon from Brisbane.
On such a full system you should do some basic cleanup. For example remaining installation files after the Win10 1903 update were > 20GB on all my PCs.
high quality cooler master still have problems. I exchanged my 1200watt coolermaster 3!TIMES. The 4th one has lived 2 years so far. In another case, the problem was the.monitor itself (LG 23inch)
Really great video thanks yes tec city! I love building PC's, I'm building 2 systems at the moment 😃 Tips like these are very useful, I don't think I'm ever going to stop building PC's now but will have 3 systems soon so may try and sell one.
Brian, what happens if we activate one of those Windows keys on an old PC and then upgrade later to a new one. Can we still use the same CD key and transfer it to the new system? Cheers
Is it bad to combine ssd and hdd? Games are installed on both ssd and hdd. The games installed on hdd sometimes do something like frame skip when loading new areas/textures. Is it because of the failing hdd or just the hardware (ryzen 2600, rx 570, 16gb 2666mhz ram)?
Have you encountered a Z77 motherboard which will work fine on single channel with two ram but not dual channel with two ram? Same set of ram by the way It just happen out of blue moon right after I use the motherboard to test another processor and insert back my own processor(I7-2600K by the way)
I have a question. I have a built PC built by me and my motherboard died on me 4 months after building it and it's the second time it's happened in the same amount of time between the two motherboards I had with the same issue. Is it the power supply? I have a 550w Insignia NS-PCW5508 80 Plus Bronze and works great as I'm using it on my backup AMD board I have laying around but seemed to of killed the VRMs or something on my main board as it'll turn on for a couple seconds then shutoff and now doesn't even turn on at all, even with other PSUs. Mobo is a Gigabyte GA-B85M-DH3. I don't wanna buy another mobo just for it to die in like a few months like every one I had before.
A friend once told me after he installed his new graphics card (two weeks before) that it didn't output any signal out of the PCI-E slot now. The issue was, that a voltage line of the power supply responsible for the PCI-E slot was just broken or had a lot less voltage on it. But this happend one time of I don't know, like 100 cases where the PC didn't show signal because of the PSU, I once worked in a PC repair shop and I can confirm this problem is very rare.
This literally came out the day I had this problem
Not gonna lie me too, but my problem is the mobo didn't recognize my ssd. So it booted up to my harddisk, then i enter the BIOS to change the boot settings but the option is only my harddisk. I have an idea to buy a new ssd but i rather save my money to buy a new one...
(edit: i rather save my money for a new PC).
Has the problem been solved?

Should've used windows built-in disk cleanup utility. I can guarantee you that 10s of gigabytes on that HDD are just old windows installation files.
Or ccleaner to clean temporary files.
You might remove files the customer wants to restore though if they do not have a backup. Never mess with a customers files.

What case would you recommend for around $50-80? I currently have a Thermaltake v200 and it's a shite case.
Tech Yes City RMA working like a charm. keep it up buddy , you´re the man. cheers
I have had some complex and simple problems over the years. The first desktop I had supported an old steamroller CPU. The switch to Windows 10 killed the sata controller on that cheap old board, forcing me to upgrade my platform. Recently, I had a 5 year old power supply of mine start to die. I had been running that power supply for quite some time, and it started faltering occasionally when my system was running at full blast or even sometimes my system wouldn't have booted. I deduced from the behaviors exhibited that something relating to the motherboard power was the issue, as when my system would be running at full blast my computer would cut to a blank screen and then I would see the POST screen as if my computer just restarted. I tested with a spare known good PSU to confirm that this was the issue, and because I had a spare I was able to keep running my PC until a new one arrived. In a side note, my spare PSU is a huge Antec PSU that doesn't fit in my case so I had wires splayed out everywhere on my desk. I took pictures to show my friends and jokingly stated that my PC was on life support.
2 years later - you sir are too nice - but i respect it.
The simplest cause for no picture: check the cable.
yep, and if that does not work reset the CMOS battery, and if you know that little battery is over 5 years old replace it, as they are not that expensive, unless we are talking a specific laptop one that might be non standard.
i will replace the battery. but i just want to ask is my gpu the problem? the fan is running but still no signal. no it's not the cable or the monitor, because i plugged the hdmi cable to the motherboard hdmi port and it worked. so should i replace the gpu too?
@@tarapiero same problem hope you found a solution
@@LatinoRights I have the same problem.
Stuff like this is why I love Linux as you can choose to create a swap partition on your boot SSD/HDD, during install, and not have to worry about not having the space for swap files, and no CD Key needed. But regardless yes even a 120GB SSD for the boot drive is a must for any OS, just be smart about your space.
Isn't the hdd faulty? Did you check s.m.a.r.t info? I also have used CCleaner for years to clean up drive. Most of the time it finds multiple GB's of temp files and junk.
Reseating memories, help me to fixing 'NO SIGNAL" PC, thank you. :)
Note 1: If a buyer brings a PC after 2 years of usage back to the seller then he has full trust in the seller... good job,TYC!
Note 2: If a PC gets really slow (Start up takes like 5min) then open the Task Manager and look for "Trusted Installer" this eats up ram when Windows Updates went wrong it put that data in a secure portion of the ram and locks it. Itcan use more than 80% of RAM which slows down your PC like hell and will be reloaded each time you restart your PC.
There are many guides to fix this on the web. 😉
Who has Steam on auto-start? Even I'm on SSD, I don't auto-start it.
People who play alot or are addicted... Like me
i have autostarting steam on ma raid 0 2x nvme 960 EVO 500 GB. its ok
Got steam in auto start too. Need it for my Oculus Rift tho
wait, you guys dont?
I auto-start it on an SSD, no problems at all.
This is bringing back bad memories of my ibm full tower. Thing was so fast until I filled up the 120gb hdd. And storage used to be so expensive.
Datavac is king especially since you can easily take it outside so blowing dust around isnt a big deal, also no risk of static or accidental damage via vaccuum
A problem I've been running into a lot on lga 1150 sockets with big tower coolers is the slightest bump from moving the PC or a cat running into or what have you and the thing wont post or if it does post, it has a dead memory channel. Pull the cooler, re-seat the cpu, put it all back together and they come back to life.
When does the TechYes OST get released? You have about 6 tracks now lol.
What kind of blower are you using ?
Could you clarify what you ment by common problem hooking monitor into display port of motherboard and something about covering other ports.
this was the bloody system that triggered my x58 fascination. btw have you been watching witcher series Bryan? the music and accent says so.
What's the best way to fix Mechanical Keyboard's Chattering Problem (aka keys registering 2-3 times despite pressing it once)? It does get annoying and searching on TH-cam have been mixed lately.
We're both fans plugged into the CPU header? If the CPU cooler fans don't come with passthrough and the one connected to the CPU header it won't boot, it's a bios boot protection, very common :)
Easy fix Bryan.
Interesting to see a cpu fan die. The second fan should have been enough unless the cpu was overclocked. Some boards show an error when the cpu fan isn't detected. Does an X58 board have 2 cpu fan connection points.
I used to use 60gb ssd's back in the win xp/7 days so the OS has not been on an hdd for about 10 years.
If you install a new ssd does Windows recognise that the motherboard already has a windows 10 key associated with it?
Cheers, Mon from Brisbane.
On such a full system you should do some basic cleanup. For example remaining installation files after the Win10 1903 update were > 20GB on all my PCs.
Hey how do you drain your power after taking out the lil battery?
You got to be kidding, the person couldn't done the same thing you did. So many videos out there that could help.
Tech YES City Medieval theme... yes!
I have spoken.
high quality cooler master still have problems. I exchanged my 1200watt coolermaster 3!TIMES. The 4th one has lived 2 years so far.
In another case, the problem was the.monitor itself (LG 23inch)
Really great video thanks yes tec city! I love building PC's, I'm building 2 systems at the moment 😃
Tips like these are very useful, I don't think I'm ever going to stop building PC's now but will have 3 systems soon so may try and sell one.
Dont you set fixed page file size? I personally do it short after initial setup and forget about it
Please do more video like this.
Brian, what happens if we activate one of those Windows keys on an old PC and then upgrade later to a new one. Can we still use the same CD key and transfer it to the new system? Cheers
Is it bad to combine ssd and hdd? Games are installed on both ssd and hdd. The games installed on hdd sometimes do something like frame skip when loading new areas/textures. Is it because of the failing hdd or just the hardware (ryzen 2600, rx 570, 16gb 2666mhz ram)?
Really enjoyed watching this problem solving video, good content.
Great episode!!!
Have you encountered a Z77 motherboard which will work fine on single channel with two ram but not dual channel with two ram?
Same set of ram by the way
It just happen out of blue moon right after I use the motherboard to test another processor and insert back my own processor(I7-2600K by the way)
I have a question. I have a built PC built by me and my motherboard died on me 4 months after building it and it's the second time it's happened in the same amount of time between the two motherboards I had with the same issue. Is it the power supply? I have a 550w Insignia NS-PCW5508 80 Plus Bronze and works great as I'm using it on my backup AMD board I have laying around but seemed to of killed the VRMs or something on my main board as it'll turn on for a couple seconds then shutoff and now doesn't even turn on at all, even with other PSUs. Mobo is a Gigabyte GA-B85M-DH3. I don't wanna buy another mobo just for it to die in like a few months like every one I had before.
A friend once told me after he installed his new graphics card (two weeks before) that it didn't output any signal out of the PCI-E slot now. The issue was, that a voltage line of the power supply responsible for the PCI-E slot was just broken or had a lot less voltage on it. But this happend one time of I don't know, like 100 cases where the PC didn't show signal because of the PSU, I once worked in a PC repair shop and I can confirm this problem is very rare.
One thing I do to gain a bit more space on disks is reduce the size of the recycle bin by changing it to a custom size
vacuum cleaners can introduce static electricity which has the potential to fry components ?
Learned that lesson the hard way when I was younger. Was a sad day having to replace my motherboard.
