ok thanks. is it normal for so many things to need replacing so often? since i got it in july 2020, so far the CPU has been replaced, the motherboard and the GPU. i though the PSU had already been replaced but it hasn't.

Ran memtest with the other stick of RAM and again PC shuts down at after 10-12 minutes of memtest running. 😤😭 Any ideas on what to do with it next please? 🤞 Have literally spent the last 5 days on this and am super fed up and beyond frustrated by it now. 😞

Bios says RAID isn't enabled as far as i can see. Removed one stick of RAM and ran memtest again and this time with 1 stick it got further into Test 10 - sleeping, where it was restarting at around 10 minutes in when both sticks were in. But then shut down at restarted after running Memtest...

ok, i have made a bootable USB drive with memtest86 and have and booted from that drive to run Memtest86, and this will start to run except it will only run for about 9 or 10 minutes and then pc shuts down and reboots and repeats this. no errors found up until this point. i have checked power...

i haven't tried to run memtest86 as i thought the pc needed to be running to do that and everytime i try to turn it on and log in ot crashed within a minute or so, but i will try that today. i have a secondary HDD with games on, that was installed by PCS on one of its RMA returns, but i do not...

i am hoping someone can help me with yet another problem i have with my pc. this will be the third time it has had a serious issue and i have had it about 2 and a half years. i first had a BSOD about 3 days ago and have errors such as amdppm.sys failed, KERNEL_MODE_HEAP_CORRUPTION, Unexpected...

My ten year old would like a gaming headset, controller and mouse, could anyone recommend anything that's reasonably priced and decent? Was thinking just an Xbox wireless controller and 3.5mm headset that can plug into it, but have no idea if that's a good idea. 🤷‍♀he likes to chat to friends...

had taken both the sides off and was trying to get pics by moving the cables around and it turns out that the cable wasn't plugged into anything at all! have plugged it into the motherboard and it works fine. can only think that when it's been sent back twice to be fixed for something else...

that's why i am confused as i thought it should. i have the connections on the front for the fans and one is already plugged in, but i have no diea what this one is doing going around to the back of it. i do not know what a fan hub is.

i've done that. the connector in the second picture seems to go behind the motherboard and connects on the backside, out of view.

thanks! it's on the back so i can't see it and don't just want to start just pulling on the lead in case i damage something.

what's the best way to clean out all the dust? how do i disconnect the plug on the back to install a new fan?

@JakAttack have finally been able to get pics. one connection seems fine, but there is one that attaches on the back (second pic) and i cant see if it is attached properly. any ideas?

can anyone see any loose connections i've missed? not sure what to do with this TBH. bit worried about using it with one fan not working, in case it overheats and it gets damaged.

Pictures attached. It's the top fan that's not working but I can't see any connections that have come loose. 🤔 Thanks. 😊
