My previous PC used to have the same problems. As it turns out, my PSU's 12V rail only had 11.20V at idle and would drop all the way down to ~10.95V under load, probably due to weak capacitors or something. For comparison, ATX specs recommend at least 11.40V under load. Hence it's usually a good idea to test old PSUs with either a multi-meter or one of those fancy PSU testers before putting to good use.

While too bad about the HD 7870, the revelation of the HD 4670 doing yeoman's work and doing it well was the real star here. The reason behind the finicky nature of the motherboard is likely not worth anyone's time but I suspect it may have to do with reason the RAM slots were gunked up. Whatever was causing that may well have interfered with the GPU slot as well.
@TheSpotify953 ай бұрын
At least the HD 7870 was tested and confirmed good, meaning that GPU can be used in something more worthwhile than what this PC was! Personally I think the £30 paid was worth it for the CPU, GPU, RAM, ODD, and various HDDs/SSD. Oh, and the PSU as well, assuming it was still capable enough. The motherboard and case would have probably been binned if it was mine...

But from the back you got space for one case fan, one GPU fan and maybe get some air from the PCI slots if you remove the covers and one fan on the case panel, seriously if you had that case you would understand

I still own a socket 1156 motherboard with a Xeon X3460. The problem you have with booting is that you did not set the primary boot device in the BIOS as the USB stick, let windows set things up and after the requiered reboot that the install ask for, go back in the bios and set the primary boot device the SSD/HDD where you installed windows. All the boards I worked on from friends and my own needed this to be done on socket 1156. Good to have you back again, I missed these budget builds.

6:30, the reason why the modernish graphics card won't boot is quite simple, old school BIOS versus "UEFI" versus UEFI. I have had the same problem some years back when i upgraded my old rig with a more decent graphics card. It was a i5-2400 on a Cupertino 2 board out of some HP prebuild that a good friend had gifted me. The GT545 that came with the system ran fine, it booted instantly and whatnot. Then came the day where little Bastet came around with a PNY GTX 960, installed the card and the PC refused to boot. After some coaxing it at least POSTed but took three(!) minutes on the BIOS screen to decide what to do. You could speed it up by going into network boot and canceling that but yeah, the system wasn't really longterm useable that way. It ran fine when booted, Linux and Windows worked as flawlessly as they usually do, but the boot time was a no-go. Fixed it by getting another mainboard that had a fully working UEFI, the system still runs in another case as my parents living room PC so that my dad can play stuff like Need for Speed. :)

Given the amount of issues you had with that PC, specifically with the mainboard, I would guess at some point it was involved with some sort of power related issue like a power surge or lightning strike. I've seen some computers do some wacky things because of that! Many years ago I fixed a custom built PC that took a power surge via a phone line. Blew out the modem but the rest of the machine appeared to be fine. Funny thing is it had a Celeron 566 mhz CPU in it and the machine would only consistently POST and boot properly if the FSB was changed via jumpers from 66 mhz to 100 mhz which overclocked the CPU from 566 mhz to 850 mhz. I never understood why that started happening but the machine ran for years afterwards with a CPU overclock. Took me a couple of days of swapping out almost every part except for the main board to figure that one out. The person who owned that machine appreciated the extra speed boost too!

7:29 I agree, PC’S are very weird When I was in Windows, one of the applications stopped responding when I tried to close it. I even used task manager and still wasn’t able to close it. When I shut down the system and turned it back on, it would start, hang on the BIOS Logo Screen for 10 seconds, then turn off and restart again. Turns out it was a USB which I had plugged into the system, I unplugged it and it booted into Windows again. My guess is that the system was trying to read a “BIOS Image” off the USB. Last time when I booted my computer, the USB Drive was connected, and apparently my Mobo was reading a BIOS Image off there. My BIOS was updated to the latest version anyway. There was no Image on that USB, all I had was NVIDIA Drivers and USB Wireless Drivers which I used for another computer. I had no idea what tf happened, but it was a very weird day.

HD 7870 would do alright today still, roughly gtx 1050 performance. Guessing the motherboard having a spill on it near the ram ports has damaged it enough so it doesn't send power too the pci-e port properly, so either cpu or motherboard swap should resolve that if you have confirmed the powersupply can power the gpu in another computer already. Also possible the power supply has partially died if it can't power anything with pci-e power connectors in another motherboard if its a multi 12v rail powersupply. Also as the HD 4670 is working using roughly 65w out of the pci-e slot but other cards are struggling or not working at all I'm thinking its something too do with the pci-e slot on the motherboard itself, specifically the detection pins if you have tried another powersupply already. Check the pci-e slot if that has anything spilled into it as well.

It even showed as a "bootable add-in card" in the BiOS but W10 wanted nothing to do with it. Instead I used a standard SSD which is fast enough for an OS and used the NVMe for games. That's the sort of thing that happens with older hardware. The mobo is 10+ years old with a 2500k. There's not really gonna be guides out there about it either, since so many people have moved on to something newer. Kinda glad it worked out that way though since Halo:Infinite is a beast of a game that apparently expects NVMe speeds.

Still yeah, first time I installed Win10 on a thumb drive, consequently on my board on an anti-static matt first to test, how quick that installed over USB3, I was like, you're done already? lol Cool channel.

Win10/11 ISO's can be deployed several ways to a USB pen drive by using Rufus; MBR mode for older systems with regular BIOSses or GPT mode for newer systems with UEFI. Rufus will also let you set options for Windows 11 setup skipping the CPU/RAM/TPM "requirements" check and create a local user account.

I recently built up a machine from Parts, an old Intel H61cr motherboard running an i7 3770 i had kicking about, stuck an RX 580 4Gb in there and it would not recognise the Graphics card at all, i ended up having to revert the Bios back a couple of revisions, it was a pain in the bottom for sure but it seems to be running very nicely now.

Did you ever mention what the Motherboard was? That PCI-E slot is the reason I still keep an old PCI video card in a box, just in case.

Whenever I have a video card that won't work in a particular motherboard, updating to the latest BIOS almost always works... Unless there's an actual issue w/ the board or CPU that hinders slot functionality.

Back around 2009 I crossfired three 4670s on a DFI Socket 775 LanParty with 8gigs of ram and a Q9550. Still have all of the components so I could build it back up if I got the inspiration to do so.

Hi - another nice video I know if this can help you at any stage, but when testing old computers i try to do a bare bones startup with only the memory it came with ( if any ) - so no graphic cards / sound cards - most after sat Pentium 3 or 4 will have built in graphics on the mother board - it it is old enough to have a floppy use a dos boot disk or a Win 98 / XP repair boot disk All you really need to do in step 1 is get a bios boot screen - if you get that you are 1/2 way there If it has a usb - then i try my Linux Puppy 3 usb stick ( you can use Version 3 or 4 or 5 then newer the longer the boot time but we are talking 1 to 2 mins ) After that, I always check google for a mother bard to video card compatibility eg my Dell I7 can only go as far as a GTX1050 - as 1060 will not boot There is some hardware compatibility BIOS / UEFI to the creation date of video card ( it might as well be black magic ) I noticed you ran Win10 , while it should run - sometime win 10 will not install on some pc's using bios, they may want uefi Even the bios affects the hard drive boot partition style of format if you are lucky BIOS & NTFS, if not UEFI and GPT I just copy and paste this from my cheat notes

I actually had a 4650 ddr3 in my home theatre pc about 10 years ago and I remember it pretty much like you showed. It did really well back then at 720p, but it just didn't have the beef of a 4850 or 4870 to do 1080p.

The issue is almost certainly a power trace on the PCI Express x16 slot. The passively cooled card is what gives it away.

Could be the psu on this! Coolermaster is not exactly great when it comes to power supplies. The video card could well be tipping over as it cannot cope. Power supplies are a bit meh, the cheaper you go the worse they get.
