he should have tested for post before he installed the psu and cable managed it. He also didn't suspect his memory is bad, it would be "a pretty quick swap if it was". That's the easiest and usually the first thing to test and you can troubleshoot BOTH mobo and ram at the same time. But hey, how else is he gonna make a 23 min video 😂😂

You can hear the difference in excitement in Greg’s voice after finding out it was a mining rig when he got it to post. I agree that he should have disclosed that information. This guy clearly knew what he was doing, there’s a reason there wasn’t a CPU cooler in the rig and my guess is because he didn’t have an extra on hand. Not for that “I lost the screws” excuse.

My guess is the dude thought you wouldn't accept his submission if he told you he mines on it. Either that or he knew what happened and just wanted some free upgrades. If someone knows how to mine, there are high chances they already have multiple spare parts on hand and have already tested to know what's wrong. Just saying. PS : HiveOS is not for the Average joe, so yeah, this might've been a case of someone taking Greg for granted. Sucks for the others who have legit submissions and are really in need.

I'm guessing he didn't say anything because he didn't think Greg would take it. The fact that Greg had no idea what was going on with it and it took a new mobo and psu to fix it leads me to believe the owner wouldn't know that unless he had a bunch of spare parts lying around and did exactly what Greg did, and I'm assuming he didn't.

He probably used a wrong cable (a cable from another PSU that looks same) shorting the component. PSU might be trying to protect the damage by shutting off immediately. This exactly happens when you do that. PSU itself will be fine and that's why you dont see an issue via psu tester. This further might have damaged other components as well! I once lost my LED strip and LED on CPU cooler due to this mistake. Other have reported SSD failures due to this.

Greg, the original board can't run the Ryzen 5500 without a BIOS update, and running it without a compatible bios would not post and it would show DRam LED. Have you considered obtaining a Ryzen 2600 or 1600 just to have a CPU "compatible with everything am4" for testing such cases? Also, since the board was dead, if the SSD was also connected to it with SATA data when testing the Antec PSU, it might trip a PSU protection if the PSU is sensitive it has a design that could be affected. I would try that PSU on s system, at least s trash system, just to check, and it could show you if your PSU tester is even more reliable than you now think. Or it could confirm your findings.

I suspected the modular SATA cable was from a different supply and maybe the pinouts were wrong (for why it wouldn't power on but seemed to be okay without the SATA cable connected to the device). But when the motherboard wouldn't post (and obviously as it turned out the SATA device was OK) I went "nope!" lol - always the same and always different (that's what makes it fresh). Keep up the good work!

I recently started watching ur fix or flop series, and to say I enjoy it is an understatement, I LOVE IT. If not cuz of schoolwork and midterm I would have binged the entire two seasons and the third by now. However, I dont really have a pc issue, but more of a monitor issue that I want to ask. One night, I heard a pop on my monitor and it shut off on me completely, no rgb light , nothing. Usually, whenever I turn on power, I see rgb light on my monitor but there was absolutely zero response. That night when my monitor shut off on me, I could still hear the video playing so I knew instantly it wasnt my pc. I tried replugging power supply and basically simply fixes and of course nothing. Both me and my dad thought its the power supply, but then its just so rare for a power supply on a monitor to be fried all of the sudden. I needed my pc for school so, I already got a new monitor, and didnt really bother testing it, but just wanna ask what u think since u know much more about tech than any of us.

Hmm... I think I have a good idea what happens. I have issue with SSD lockup, which I believe it's the case. There's nothing wrong with all the system, and the SSD is not faulty at all. The reason behind this is when the SSD controller reads the journal and somehow comes up with an error. The controller then hanged because it didn't know what to do and kept sending a busy signal to your motherboard, which make it couldn't post. I don't know if this case is similar to yours but that's my experience. I just power off the system, do a deep cleaning (removing every component, dusting and whatever) then reassemble the PC and the PC boots up. Of course, I sent back the system to its owner but the owner return back to me cited the same problem after a few weeks, and he did mention that his system sometimes doesn't want to post at all. I'll change the SSD if I were you, because that's a tell-tale sign that the controller of the SSD might have degraded and became unstable.

The same thing was happening to a system I built recently. The sata cable I had the ssd powered with was actually from a different psu entirely so when I powered the system on it lit up for literally a split second and then shut off. It took me a while to figure out the problem. I replaced the sata cable with the correct one for the psu. the system powered on and booted fine but I was never able to get the system to recognize the ssd afterward. So got a replacement and all is well. I’m still not sure if the original ssd is cooked or not but it was strange seeing the sata cable cause the whole system to short out like that.

The cable fit the socket perfect on the PSU but, when looking at the end of the plug, the active pinout was different (meaning the plug was the same but holes had a different active wire layout), causing the power issue. I never knew that modular PSU pinouts are different from brand/model to another.

I’ve been binge watching all these videos! It’s such a good series. I’m about to upgrade my ram and I have so much anxiety lol. The first set I got wasn’t on the dvl list so I couldn’t get the system to post. Now I made sure I got 2 sticks that were on the list. Running Asus PRIME b560 / i5 10400f / Rtx 3060 / and upgrading from 16 to 64 gb ddr4 ram. Chrome will have plenty of ram now lol. Love the videos! Can’t wait for the next one. Might upgrade the cpu if I work up the courage.

I remember I plugged a 980 ti into my PC and got the exact same symptoms, I learnt later that the clicking is a fail-safe that stops the PC from turning on if there's a faulty part, removed the 980 ti and everything worked fine, so it was obviously cooked.

Great fix, the second faulty mainboard did the fix a little harder then it should. :') It's always necessary to know what happended before, it's a shame that the guy didn't told it directly..

I'm wondering if there was actually a short in one or more of the PSU cables, just that when you repositioned the cable(s) to use the tester, the short was no longer happening. I've had this before (in a laptop charging cable that melted itself) :D

First thing that came to mind when it would not boot was did the person mount the board right. You showed it was mounted correctly. I did have a customer mount the board to the case without using the mounting post and it did the same as this one was doing. Also in all my years I never had a power switch be bad until last week. New case bad power switch took me over and hour to locate the problem.

The power supply having issues might have caused the additional failure of the motherboard (I think you've said this yourself in a past video). Failures happen regardless of what the person is using the system for. What OS the system boots into makes no difference when troubleshooting it not posting.

Great video Greg - The guy should have told you about the Mining - I would have taken the new equipment out as he was not truthful with you to get you to sort it out, Keep up the great work.
