PC Desktop: PC suddenly doesn't boot up, boots up only to BIOS once after CMOS

Thu, 13 Aug 2026 01:17:45 -0700

Hello,

Today suddenly my PC stopped booting up. It worked like a charm and suddenly stopped.

Once powered on it starts, CPU and GPU are spinning, but no signal comes on monitor. I tried checking RAM, plugging HDMI into MOBO, removing and reinserting graphics card, nothing helped.

I found out that restarting CMOS let's me into the BIOS, but once I'm out it's back to square one.

But this shows that monitor works and GPU outputs the BIOS at least. What else can I check?

Below are my specs visible in BIOS:

PC Desktop: Monitor no signal after start up

Sat, 08 Aug 2026 20:26:40 -0700

Hello.

So just today, I have this problem where my monitors does not display anything after start up. I would turn on the CPU and everything runs fine (fans, power supply, etc) but my monitors stay undetected as if my computer was never turned on.

I did some research and, so far, I've tried:

-removing all or some of my RAM and switching them through diferrent slots.

-removing and reinserting my PCI and my graphics card

-resetting CMOS through the jumper switch and battery

-unplugging everything from the Power Supply and replugging.

-pressing the CPU on/off button for an extended amount of time.

So far nothing has worked and I'm completely stumped. Everything was working fine until my computer randomly crashed darker today and then froze in start up to now not displaying anything. Any help would be highly appreciated and thanks beforehand.

My specs are-

-8 GB ddr2 ram

-quad core Intel

-nvidia gt640

-corsair tx650 power supply

Dell OptiaPlex 2030: Title: Dell OptiPlex 3020 microphone has constant buzzing on both fron

Tue, 04 Aug 2026 09:56:10 -0700

I have a Dell OptiPlex 3020 with motherboard 0WMJ54. After replacing the power supply, my 3.5 mm microphone started producing a constant buzzing/humming noise.

Here is what I've tested:

The issue occurs in both Windows 10 and Linux Mint Cinnamon.
I tried two different 3.5 mm microphones, and both have the same problem.
The front and rear microphone jacks both produce the same buzzing.
I reseated the front panel HD Audio connector on the motherboard.
The motherboard uses a Realtek ALC3220 audio codec.
The microphone buzz is present in all recording applications.

What could have failed on the motherboard that would cause this? Could the PSU replacement have damaged the onboard audio circuit, or is there another likely cause? Are there any tests I can perform with a multimeter to determine whether the problem is the motherboard, front panel audio board, grounding, or something else?

Any troubleshooting suggestions would be appreciated.

Please help me i really need mic

ATX Mid Tower Computer: My Windows 10 computer is boot looping

Hello,

So this has started very recently. My Windows 10 computer is entering a boot loop, and won't get out of it. Already tried restarting it, wouldn't work. Already attempted to go into Windows Recovery, just kept boot looping. I have an AM4 CPU, just in case you guys need any information about the motherboard. All help is accepted!

Many thanks,

Nevermind, my computer was being slow 😅. Thanks, to anyone who see's this, anyways.

Hello, basically whenever I turn on my PC it takes 3:40 (3 minutes 40 seconds) for my pc to boot, and 3 minutes to load the desktop after entering my password, it also takes around 45 seconds to load all the icons that are on the desktop. I was also talking about this issue in my other question and they recommended me to make a new question for this.
