[@knellhurst]

​@noname-zi9xm I've been working for a couple days to try to fix my computer as well, with the same concerns (windows 11 and my SSD seems fishy). Less than a 1-year old build. It's my first build, but i was very careful and it all booted perfectly first try. It runs very well. Err, *ran* well. Not the first time it started bluescreening... I went away for a couple weeks with it asleep, came back to reliable BSOD a bit after signing in. I fixed it this first time with SFC and DISM and CHKDSK... and get this... Deleting STEAM is what stabilized the PC and let me do that command prompt stuff. This time is a different beast. It won't even boot windows before "critical process died" BSOD. Other winRE features all fail (even reset and restore). It fails to install a clean Windows 11, and CMOS clear did not help. I have a couple more things I'm gonna try (like learning to delete the partitions set by the first install?), but after that, I'm just gonna have to take it to a professional lol... yikes. All I did was update Windows using Microsoft's MVP forum advisor tips for installing updates if the updates keep failing to install. They said to enable Framework 3.5, then click update, and boom. Ruined. It's been a continuous issue with the PC where some updates just don't want to install... and this time, it broke the thing. Jeez. What a headache lmao. So much research and "first time"-ing. I'm at peace with it now, though. I have a lot of fun with this stuff, but this issue is likely beyond my abilities and means... and now, my time window.

Then you get sick of doing that over and over and over and keep doing research, finding a few other cases of it happening, looking at differences and similarities between each happening, and then finding out you need to spend $200aud to get a new LGA1700 mother board all because Gigabyte wanted to be all silly goofy and not work. If you are looking for info on NV5 case led strip not working, its the Gigabyte motherboard.... Probably.

[@StolenJoker84]

@@rucka704I think you have “boot” and “POST” confused. POST is an acronym that stands for “Power On Self Test”. That’s the process that the motherboard goes through when you first turn it on, and those small LEDs give you an idea of where it is in the cycle. When it gets stuck on an LED, the POST has failed and that LED will tell you (generally) what’s wrong, as there’s typically 4 of them - one for CPU, RAM, GPU, and storage. After the POST finishes, the LEDs all turn off, and the UEFI/BIOS then hands control over to your storage so the operating system (typically Windows, Mac, or Linux) can boot.

But here is where the hard part come is, checking compatibility between parts, like ram and cpu, and if the bios supports the speed setting, not to mention predicting bottlenecks, and performance issues. For instances building a rig for AI or Photoshop. That sayed the depth i go to is probably overkill because you just dont know. Lets take a designer, most designers will just not use some rendering options because it takes too long not know Photoshop is set to cpu only, or configeure the screen for color correctness, this basically means when you print something its as close to what you made in photoshop. There are a million things a good pc builder will keep in mind when selecting and building a pc. This becomes even harder when it comes to servers than power consumption, upkeep, end of life, and licenses become a concern too. The rabbit hole goes down farther than you might think. One thing that is nice most of the time, even if you royally screw up, is that it will still run and work, just not optimal.😅 O ye and my job, Debugging when it won't work. (My last debug problem: install proxmox on USB and will not reboot correctly after running for a day, but will boot correctly on cold start. Fix: when the USB is warm it takes longer for the bios to recognize the usb thus trying to start from the SSD😮 that one was fun😅)

That front panel instantly came to my mind

Honestly, the hardest part is getting it all together and finding out it won’t power on, but now you have to figure out why.

I'm like this with Molex too, damn things are sharper than you'd think, and when you try to pull them apart they hold so tight together that when they finally separate you end up smashing your hands into whatever or whoever is near you.

I'd say the hardest part is picking parts that work well together

[@AverageDriver180]

damn love the transition of kratos from being a god of war to god of pc building

[@alteredstate4320]

Okay.. you got me! Those tiny nightmares.

For a second I thought the joke was manually cranking each fan

[@Pit_Wizard]

The hardest part is when it doesn't work on the first try, so you just mess with stuff until it magically works.

[@Madcows]

The hardest part is the troubleshooting when something doesnt work

[@anisisty]

I'm still searching about the front panel connectors

[@cloneforce106]

For me it was finding the motherboard screws😂

[@jhudel12]

The hardest part was to think what parts is available for your budget that will make you happy

[@hadzi1]

Bro the Case connections killed me everytime
