Is my CPU dead?

Homura15 — Sat, 23 Jan 2021 15:03:00 +0800

Hi folks,

So here is the problem I'm facing. My previous mobo GA-Z77-D3H was burnt near the USB ports section. Not sure why, but I suspect short circuit/wire bend in the processor seat.

So I got another mobo GA-Z77P-D3 as a replacement, but I have been trying to boot it up. It has power, all fan is turning (Processor fan, GPU fan and system fans all ok) but it keeps having continuous short beeping (up to 20 times beeping) and it just shuts off.

What I have done so far.
1) Removed all my rams and tested each ram 1 by 1 in each slot - Still same continuous beeping
2) Tried Step1 with GPU removed as well - Still same problem
3) Use another PSU to plug to mobo - Still same beeping issue
4) Only plug PSU to mobo, with 1 ram (no GPU, no Hard disk) - still the same issue.
5) I tried removing the CMOS battery wait for 15 mins then put it back - same beeping issue
6) Tried to clear CMOS by putting a metal pin on both pins - same beeping issue
7) I even tried reseating my processor a couple of times, reapplying thermal paste, and install the fan back - no luck

My Rig:
CPU: i5-3470
GPU: R7 260X Sapphire 2GB GDDR5
RAM: Corsair Vengence DDR3 2x4GB (I have 2 sets of these meaning up to 16GB RAM total)
HDD: WD 500GB
PSU: Corsair CX650M

So, the only thing I can suspect now is 1) either my mobo has defect or 2) my processor is dead (I dont have a spare mobo to confirm this).

Old GPU capacitor blown off

Homura15 — Wed, 26 Aug 2020 15:39:54 +0800

Hi folks,

I was trying to fix my old comp (its about 10 years old). Everything seems great, formatted my harddrive, installing windows 7, and just letting it wait for updating software.

Suddenly i heard a loud pop (like firecracker) and burning smell. This is what i saw...

Any idea where can i buy the similar capacitor to replace it?

Also any idea what could have caused the capacitor to popped? Overheating? or PSU?

Thanks

Setup dual monitor

Homura15 — Tue, 03 Oct 2017 22:56:19 +0800

Hi all,

I have 2 monitors that has HDMI & VGA port while my graphic card has 1 Display Port, 1 HDMI, 1 DVI

Scenario:

Monitor 1 (has built in speakers): plug with HDMI cable

Monitor 2: plug with DVI to VGA cable. DVI plug to graphic card & VGA plug to monitor 2

Problem: I could not hear any sound. Speakers does not work.
Did some googling that if there is already a HDMI plugged in, having a DVI to VGA cable to remove the audio.

In this case what is the best way to setup?

Thanks

edit: added a note on monitor 1 has built in speakers

Connect Android phone to Tv

Homura15 — Tue, 23 May 2017 16:55:19 +0800

Hey All,

I have a Samsung Note 3 and S7edge. I want to connect to my TV, but my TV does not have the Screenshare option and the TV could not connect to Wifi. (Its a pretty old TV but it has USB & HDMI ports)

What is the best way to do this for both phones? I saw on youtube they suggest getting ScreenBeam Mini 2 which allows to connect wirelessly. But the price is a bit expensive... and some ask to get MHL cable, but some users say it does not support on certain phone models (not sure if this is true).

So I need some advise on this or looking for other alternative ideas

PS: Not sure which thread this question falls, mobile r hardware...so apologies in advance.

Homura15 — Fri, 12 May 2017 01:03:51 +0800

Hi All,

Current spec (which is pretty old):-
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64
Processor: AMD Phenom™ II X3 720 Processor 2.80 Ghz
MB: MSI 790GX-G65
2x4G Corsair Vengeance 1600 8-8-8-24

I got a friend who has lend me his corsair vengeance 2x4g 1600 9-9-9-24 for testing.

When I tried to install the new rams (9-9-9-24) with my existing rams it would not boot my pc.

I also tried removing the old ram (8-8-8-24) and remain the new rams installed, it keeps going to bios. When I save and load the settings as normal, it did not boot my pc (keeps going back to bios).

Any idea's what could be the reason?

Want to upgrade my Ram

Homura15 — Sat, 24 Dec 2016 12:26:18 +0800

Hi People!

My knowledge on hardware is pretty rusty, so please bear with me

I'm thinking of upgrading my ram to 16GB but I would like to seek your technical expertise in this.
Currently I have 4 sticks of 2GB Corsair DDR3 = total 8GB ram.

Wanted to upgrade to 16GB if its possible.

Current spec (which is pretty old):-
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64
Processor: AMD Phenom™ II X3 720 Processor 2.80 Ghz
MB: MS-7276
Current Ram (screenshot):

Any recommendations for ram?
Should I go for 2 x 8Gb ram or just a single 16Gb ram?

Thanks

Recommend microphone

Homura15 — Thu, 14 Jul 2016 17:38:13 +0800

Hi guys,

Apologies in advance if I created this thread in the wrong section as I could not locate any microphone thread in lyn.

I'm looking for a mic for gaming usage those clip-on type. Currently I'm using HD555 as headphone so, I need a separate mic for this (not getting a new headphone with mic).

Been looking around online and found some recommendation such as Zalman or Sony ECM-CS10. Wondering if anyone could suggest if they are any good brands that I can look into?

Budget: below rm150

Thanks!

Mounting modem on wall

Homura15 — Tue, 05 May 2015 17:19:52 +0800

Hi All,

Would like to ask how do you all mount your modems on a wall without using drill/nails.

I tried using acrylic tape, which works for a while but it started to lose it's grip after 2-3 days.

Any other suggestions?
