House not responding after turning off the electricity, looking for advice on what to purchase!
Hey there, I heard about your recent issues. Six months ago, turning on your PC caused a power cut, and after testing, the PSU failed. You replaced it with a new one, but now it starts but doesn’t show any USB or HDMI signals. The graphics card’s fan isn’t working either—maybe it’s overheating? Everything seems plugged in correctly; you’ve tried switching devices, removing RAM, booting without the GPU, and clearing CMOS, but nothing changed.
Here are your current specs for reference: AMD FX6300, MSI 970A-G43, 2x4GB RAM, SAPPHIRE RX480 8GB, LUX Modular 550M. You were considering upgrading the CPU, RAM, and motherboard, but worry the graphics card might be dead too. I’m thinking about getting an AMD Ryzen 5 3600, ASRock A520M-HVS, DDR4 3200MHz, but I’m not sure if you need a new GPU. Would it be better to replace the card or just focus on fixing the current setup? Let me know your thoughts!
You might consider purchasing every component and exchanging any items you don’t need. I believe this approach works best when shared in new build and planning discussions.
Do you prefer purchasing these components brand new or used? They look great overall, but I wouldn’t go for a brand-new one, particularly a 3600 model. Could you share your budget and what you’re spending on these upgrades?
Thanks for your feedback! You're focusing on staying within a tight budget and preferring to invest in quality over unnecessary costs. It sounds like you're looking for a smart upgrade without overspending. If you need help finding alternatives or optimizing your purchase, just let me know! Your approach is smart—making sure every euro counts.
