Fixing a Viewer's BROKEN Gaming PC? - Fix or Flop S1:E5

[@GregSalazar]

We need more PCs to fix in the Orlando, FL area! If you know of a rig with an issue and you'd like a chance for it to be fixed for free, tweet me @GregSalazarYT! 👍

Dang I wish I was closer to you! I would love to see how a tech youtuber would change my build and cable manage it (I have a SFF water loop that makes cable managing it extremely hard and the wires are causing airflow problems in the radiator).

In principle you shouldn't even see bad sectors shows up in OS/chkdsk because the controller will swap bad sectors with spares. If you start seeing the bad sectors showing up it means the drive's ran out of spare sectors and drive failure is imminent

I personally love this series. Most of the other tech youtube channels are a variation on a theme. None of them do anything like this. I think the reason why this series is so compelling for me is the diagnosis and investigation. Figuring out a problem and finding a solution... I am sold. Your methodical process is very rewarding and I very much appreciate it. Thanks Greg! Edit: In fact, I just noticed I could join and support your channel. Done and done.

[@GregSalazar]

[@santinojoshuatorre1695]

i love this series. been tinkering with PC's for over 20 years, but seeing these little quirks that happen for each actual individual build (as opposed to showcase builds) adds a lot more to my repertoire of troubleshooting steps

[@xXDarthBagginsXx]

I can say this series has been great and good to see you get a few "wins" on being able to repair the rig. It is amazing how much the automotive space and IT/PC hardware overlap, reason why I went from being an Automotive tech to now managing major hardware deployments with the company I am with now - getting to play with new "toys" is always fun. The biggest cross-over is in the diagnostic side - if you're a tech with good diag skills the crossover is seamless in-between the two fields (other than now that vehicles have more on-board computers than anything now starts to push into the IT space in a way).

[@profosist]

I can explain the boot issues with the USB drives for windows install and should have probably made a proper video on it at some point. X58 does not have a UEFI so it need a MBR/BIOS installer for windows not a GPT/UEFI one. If you used the media creation tool on a newer system it makes the tool for that system which will be UEFI. My recommendation would be to download the ISO either though the media creation tool or by browsing to the windows 10 site with a non windows user agent. "Mobile View Switcher" is the browser add-on I use for this which has it other uses as well. Once you have the ISO download Rufus. Select your drive, your image, BIOS, and MBR and you should be good to go! I use Rufus to make bootable drives for most things. The other limitation you we thinking of when it cable to drive sizes is related to formatting. The cap for a FAT32 drive in modern windows is 32GB. If you need and even older bootable drive for say DOS or something like that youll need the FAT file system which is capped at 4GB. This is slightly different for SD cards as SDHC cards start at 4GB but will format as FAT32 generally. For SD Cards youll was 2GB or less if you need FAT. This was something the Wii dealt with and you need a 2GB SD card to transfer saved of Super Smash Bros to your Wii U. Lastly with the system not booting to that HDD. X58 didnt have native SATA III so any that you see on the board will need drivers loaded at time of install just like if you were installing to a RAID array. There is a chance that the original install had that drive in the Marvell SATAIII and not the Intel SATAII. The non UEFI installs of Windows are not very good at switching between boot controllers or modes. Normally you could be in AHCI, switch to RAID, boot into Safe Mode once, and be up and running.

[@Cinnabuns2009]

" If you used the media creation tool on a newer system it makes the tool for that system which will be UEFI." This is not true. If you UNCHECK the box to make the MediaCreationTool builder build FOR THE SYSTEM ITS ON then it will boot on ANY system and not just UEFI. MCT works just fine, just uncheck the box.

[@profosist]

@@Cinnabuns2009 you still can't specify MBR/BIOS or GPT/UEFI which is something you can do when using something like Rufus or doing it manually. The former is just far easier than the manual method.

[@Cinnabuns2009]

@@profosist You don't need to specify. If you uncheck the box, you can do either at Win10 install time. If you leave the box checked (its the only one?) than it makes the only choice what you already have. So uncheck the box, have an agnostic installer, remove the need to use additional junk you don't need.

Should have a keyboard attached when you do these, a quick check in the BIOS would have shown you no drives. Also consider having a 4Gb USB drive with like Linux Mint on it. The Gparted utility in Linux is very useful for checking drives and the file managers in Linux read Windows drives so you can pull files off to an external drive if needed.

[@LegionShade]

@Dyanosis because it’s going to deteriorate slowly from this point onwards. Either the disc platter or head arm or both are damaged. This is not fixable. The user will experience random crashes in games or loss of files without warning (windows might even confirm that the drive is fine). Slowly but surely more and more sectors will become corrupt making it unreliable. The only thing to do here is to plug the drive in as secondary drive and to transfer important files. Then get rid of it.

Love the series. These give us info on troubleshoot even if we don't have the same issue now.

I like these and the cleaning videos, they provide insight into working on PCs, cleaning them, and adding to my playlist as some of the songs you use are pretty banger.
