Why is His PC Constantly CRASHING?!

[@MinecraftGamerLR]

Hey guys, Logan here. I'm seeing so many comments regarding how old my PC is, and for context, we don't have the money for a huge $1000/$2000 PC, so I got it from someone who builds PCs out of passion. He didn't seem to have much money either, but it was enough to make me happy at the time. I've also seen comments regarding the upgrades at the end. I definitely did not expect him to upgrade it for no extra cost, and I am still super thankful for Danny because of it. Fantastic video!

[@Roman00744]

Congrats for the upgrade, it will serve you well for a few more years. Don't listen to the elitist and enjoy what you have.

[@cael_1303]

As long as it works for you is all that matters. Was cool seeing how it all turned out.

Hey man, as long as that machine can help u play the games u want and have fun that's all that matters

[@MinecraftGamerLR]

It's still holding up and doing fantastic so far, and I haven't really seen any issues at all.

[@jess2690]

Dont pay attention to some of those comments. For some, they think everyone needs an i9 and 4090, which is.. insane. Your happiness with the PC is the only that matters when it comes to your PC, not these other buttheads.

[@richteritwan]

Please don't let commenter's affect (discourage) your level of generosity. The kid was obviously used to that level of gaming, and it was a four-generation / 6gb vram leap over his current graphics card. That's literally more than he could have imagined, and I, for one, applaud you for paying attention. You saw his situation and understood that even replacing his gpu with your same sku card, would likely solve his issue, but then took a step further and potentially safeguard the rest of his parts by replacing his well-aged psu. His reaction is payment enough. He was so excited. You absolutely made his day. THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT!

I can throw together a perfectly capable rig for $600. quite a bit less if I stay on the lookout for deals and used or refurbished hardware no rational adult that makes less than $30/hr is going for a top shelf build. if you are, you need to get your priorities straight, unless you're a successful streamer or something along those lines. nobody else really needs to be able to run everything on ultra settings. go with a mid build and use that spare cash to improve your situation in life. invest it in your vehicle, an appliance that needs replaced, invest in ETF's or (low risk) stocks or something. do not put it in a PC that rapidly depreciates in value unless you can actually afford to lose a few grand without it having a major impact on your life

[@DennyMK007]

You overlooked the possibility of gpu not been seated properly. Had similar problem with my gpu. All I had to do was reseat it properly. Sometimes we rush to reassemble the pc after brushing, dusting or repasting whether the cpu or gpu that we don’t pay that much attention on every single detail. Happens even to very experienced professionals.

[@omega-thunder2957]

This. After all the testing this was the only logical conclusion BEFORE stating is was a combination of old and used GPU and potential weak PSU. Al the shown test proof non of those seemed to be an issue (gpu worked fine, as did the PSU). The only thing i dont see is after all the test that he put back the original GPU. In years of use there is a small potential degration of contact my means of mosture and corrosion. Reseating cards, cables, ram... its basic troubleshooting and its the only thing that the video isn't showing to be done.

[@HumanStatSheet]

Came here to say the same thing. That’s the first step if you suspect GPU issues. That hardware is probably fine.

[@nathanpowell2902]

In my experience I check all pci e slots first as I have come across alot of people who don't clean them before jamming in a new gpu, always check before installation guys.

[@pipoclaude6771]

Boy ! You're right on the money... the GPU worked fine in his system... I wonder if he tried to properly install it in the old system..

[@ICDarkstar]

I'm pretty sure this is the issue as well. At 11:23 he plugged his known/working power supply up to the rig and it still crashed. I've learned through a lot of painful trial and error in life to start simple and never jump ahead. Good on Danny to try and help, and he likely would have needed upgrades sooner rather than later anyway.

You earned a sub from me. This was a good video from beginning to end. I almost gave you criticism for giving him his old pc back, but we got me good and that was so awesome of you to do! W's to you! Also, I appreciate that you went into the event viewer to see if you could diagnose what cause the PC to crash. I'm not familiar with event viewer and I have a AM4 motherboard with a 5800X that randomly resets while livestreaming...I'm not joking. I can do anything else on that PC with no problem, but once I livestream, that's when it will randomly restart. It doesn't happen every time, but it happened enough times that I upgraded to AM5 with a 9700x.

[@isaachepp3481]

I was kinda expecting you to upgrade him but then forgot towards the end so your rewind was pretty entertaining. You’re a legend. I hope Logan enjoys it and has a good time working in the H5 flow. Thanks for being such a cool dude.

[@BlenderRookie]

My guess is the GPU needed to be reseated. I have run into that issue several times. I have also run into an issue with system memory not working correctly and it be something as simple as they need reseated or the CPU cooler is screwed down too tight. Just in the last day or two I had all 4 ram sticks in a secondary rendering machine and while task manager and the bios recognized all 4 sticks, only two of the ram sticks was being used. It turns out that two of the ram sticks because they were sitting outside the machine for a year, the traces had just enough oxidation that prevented all the traces from making proper contact with the ram slot. I couldn't see the oxidation with my eye but under a magnifying glass I could. I just used a piece of 300 grit sandpaper and lightly ran it across the traces once or twice and then wiped it off with a clean cloth. Suddenly the issue is gone. I have had the same issue with GPUs that have been sitting outside a machine without the little plastic cover that goes over the connector.

[@techassimilate]

Hope he reads this. Probably doesn't need to do anything so drastic as sandpaper, though, a gentle connector clean and reseating could/should have done the job.

[@BlenderRookie]

@@techassimilate I think he wanted to give the guy the 580 and a better PSU. Probably would have given him that regardless. As far as the sandpaper I used, I only did so after a cloth on the connector and repeated reseating wasn't working and it was an extremely fine grit.. I was beginning to think the MB or the CPU was failing. In 2020 I dropped that CPU on my desk and bent about a dozen pins and then spent several hours trying to delicately bend them straight with an exacto blade. It's an old b350m asrock and a ryzen 5 1600x.

I think you did a very special thing for Logan who really needed a break. I've also been an on-site service tech for the past 25 years. Back when Windows 95 was new. I have also done something very similar to this kind of charity many times for kids who love gaming but have not had a good enough PC or no PC at all. It was always out of my own pocket (and sometimes the parents would chip in.) and from my spare parts surplus I built up. I love to see their smile light up when revealing the surprise. I bet Logan will be up late for days have fun playing all the games he couldn't until now thanks your kind heart. Great work!

[@jlmpc8733]

My theory: Bad powersupply (out of ATX spec powersupply). 12v Dips on powerspikes on the GPU since its single rail, Psu doesnt react fast enough/out of spec and mainboard simply cant handle the voltage dip without the PSU "racting" fast enough. This can happen due to Board design of the lightning. Basically the high end Powerdelivery on the lightning comes as a detriment, as it can handle more power due many small resistors with less capacitance, but the smaller resistors cannot buffer out powerusage spikes because of that and rely on the PSU for "assistance", which is usually no issue, but the PSU is a very shady one, voltage dip too high on anything above e.g. 350w and the PSU needs to adjust until Voltage is stable, just takes too long and mainboard becomes unstable. Hope it makes sense to anyone

[@TheAddanz]

PSU was fine. The GPU sag and symptoms point to bad PCIE seating. Maybe badly seated. An anti-sag bracket fixed my 5700xt with VERY similar issues. PCIE is touchy and you can get to windows with a poorly slotted card only to see it crash in 3D apps. Exactly like the video. Also explains why it worked when reseated in a different board. 550w was plenty for that card. Total system draw would be around 300w under load and wouldn't break 400w even with heavy overclocking..... The seating issue opened my eyes about PCIE connectivity. My 5700xt system hasn't crashed since installing an anti-sag bracket that cost about 50cents to 3d print

[@BeefyTacoCS]

@@TheAddanz 100% agree with you. These symptoms reek of a poorly seated card/power connection.

[@YYorle]

Jup, was thinking indeed something similar with regards to power drops/spikes. However as it did the same with his new power supply I was also thinking it may the PCIE connection maybe needing a check or something on the motherboard

[@MushroomKingdoom]

I have 10 years with a crappy psu and.. last year my gpu died. Maybe it was the psu. It was a gtx 760, it used the six and eight pin connections for the 180w supply. Maybe no brand psu is good for lighter use. Also I have to mention that I had to replace the fans inside a couple of times, maybe that is neccesary in any brand, 8 years is too much time for a fan.

[@jameso7826]

I had the exact same issue with crashing when I bought my 7900XTX. I had an older corsair PSU that had the proper wattage to run the card, but it was not compliant with ATX 3.0 standards. The issue being with the newer GPU's they ramp up in power needs much faster between idle and load, and the older PSU's can't do it. They simply can't switch the power fast enough to supply the card which leads to a crash.

[@rushnerd]

New to this channel. That problem stumped me completely too, but it was ultimately the PSU like I thought right away.

[@Denkmaschinen]

Hey nerdonabudget! you did a spot on great job, my friend! My first suspect Number 1 was 100% the Power Supply. Once you see a System crash with little load, seemingly out of nowhere, the Power Supply is in most cases the culpable. Here's a pretty good parable to understand the problem here: think of a Race Car that with a too narrow Gasoline line to in combination with insufficient air supply. The Engine will simply shut down once you step a little bit to much on the gas, it's as simple as that. Really love and appreciate very much that you helped Logan out, since he's a still a Student and on a small budget.

GPU is getting worn out and can't handle the unstable power from the cheap PSU. You nailed it. In fact, it is probable that dirty power from the cheap PSU is why the GPU is degrading in the first place. An RX580 may not seem impressive to a PC snob but when you look at it from a statistical standpoint, you doubled his rasterization performance and quadrupled his VRAM. You opened up the door for him to play some AAA titles that were released in this decade, something a 7870 won't do because of the DX feature level.

[@WatashiwaToyotaHondadesudesu]

not 100% sure he nailed it, i think its a 2 part issue with hotspot temp due to old card dry paste/dirty power causing more heat. only if he repastes that gpu and issue persists would i be 100% sure he nailed it. and the way the guy described the issue getting worse over time, it would make sense.

I am new to Your channel What great gesture to Logan to do this for him And help him out with his problems and then to do upgrade for free :) and the fact he was expecting any to be done for free make it even better that you have done this for him. Hope he enjoys and hope some day he can pass it forward to help others in same situation . great work:)

I'm watching this after hurricane helene hit and finally got cell service (i made sure my family was safe first) and this makes my heart smile, glad you're in a spot to help people out like this Danny. Much love bro

[@BenBroTalaga]

Really cool of you to help out this kid. Kid deserves the upgrade. He's really grateful.

[@elmestguzman3038]

That is awesome... But no IO shield... I found 3D printed IO shields... But damm that was a nice upgrade!!!

[@iCantHearY0u90]

I started this video not expecting much but I kept watching and ended enjoying this video very much. Continue being who you are man. Awesome video

[@vortex316]

awesome stuff man

[@leeNunes2]

Awesome video. Love it!

This is the first of your videos that I caught. I am very impressed and look forward to checking out more of your content.

Also, Radeon cards used to be very power inefficient, and with a poor quality PSU...

[@mintymus]

Radeon cards still are very power inefficient.

[@betag24cn]

​​@@mintymusnot true, and in the year 2024 say that while nvidia uses basically the same, telling lies basically

[@mintymus]

@@betag24cn Spreading fake information on the internet, thankfully there's Google...people can just see that you're wrong.

[@MediocreTCG]

​@@betag24cn brother, the spikes on Radeon cards are nutty as hell. Does Nvidia also have this issue too? Yes. But AMD cards are like your drunk uncle. Useful, but wacky and unstable.

[@steivene2hot915]

that's so cool of you helping the kid mate! For the troubleshooting, my first gut was their was something wrong with his hard drive as maybe it has too many bad sectors already that could not be repaired by reformatting/reinstalling/doing check disk, etc.

[@Evilcitizen]

This was a great video the ending was awesome :D I think ppl who complain about things forget your a nerd on a budget LUL

[@lhbalesjr4670]

Very nice thing to do. I don't have 1/100 th the PC knowledge that you have, but unfortunately, my family and friends have even less, so I am often stuck trying to solve their PC problems, phone problems, etc. I know how frustrating it can be and to do it for free was very nice. Doing it for free for family and friends is one thing but for a comoplete stranger is a much bigger deal. Providing him with a new system was the icing on the cake. Thanks for being a good guy. There are not enough good guys out there.

[@TamalesDeRajas]

To answer your question I saw it coming because 9x out of 10 when a KZbinr makes a video about helping someone fix their really old PC they usually just upgrade them for free.

[@scaredbtw3666]

yeah but normally they be upgrading it with 2k worth of parts i feel like this is more humble

[@GraviQuate]

yea not only does it help out the person in need but it also makes for great content, basically paying for the upgrades. i'm all for content like this if the youtuber helps out people who actually need the help

[@GraviQuate]

@@scaredbtw3666 i mean he's not a very big youtuber i doubt he rakes in that much money, and an rx 580 is still very respectable today. u don't need 2k worth of parts for school and some gaming, and smth like an rtx 4080 would probably jus get bottlenecked by the 3rd gen i7 anyways. enthusiast parts are for the enthusiasts that has the money for it

[@JustGiverEHD1]

so hyped to see his reaction, god bless you for giving back to the community
