What could be causing your computer to fail in connecting with external devices?
Hello, I recently relocated my computer across town, but when I powered it up initially, no USB devices or monitors connected to the GPU functioned. I removed the CMOS battery and replaced it, which worked for around 20 minutes before it crashed again. Even new batteries didn’t resolve the issue. Previously, everything was fine, all connections appeared properly seated. Thank you.
Full system specs, including PSU make and model (or part number) is? Also, how old the PSU is, and was the PSU bought new or used/refurbished?
What the actual issue of the PC is?
Does the PC turn on and boots to OS, where you can see desktop?
Does PC fail to show any image on screen, but otherwise remains powered on?
Does the PC fail to remain powered on?
What crashed? Some program? OS? Did PC reboot? What exactly happened.
Most likely, component (hardware) damage/failure, due to PC being rattled around during transit.
PCs are sensitive electronics and do not fare well with vibrations or impacts caused during transit.
As @Aecus mentioned, computers are vulnerable to damage during transit. Placing a heavy GPU in the PC case without removing the graphics card might harm the PCIe slot. The image below illustrates an extreme example of slot damage: https://itigic.com/when-to-upgrade-or-bu...rd-for-pc/ In a similar situation, if your setup included a large dual-tower twin-fan air cooler and it wasn't fully removed, you risk cracking the motherboard or damaging the CPU socket. https://forums. To be more cautious, it's advisable to disconnect large GPU cards and heavy CPU air coolers before shipping.
Motherboard: MAG B550 Tomahawk
GPU: MSI RTX 3060 Ti
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
RAM: 32 GB Corsair Vengence DDR4 3200mhz
PSU: EVGA Supernova 850 PS 80 Plus Platinum 850W, new purchase two years ago, no problems.
Main problem was, no Display Port output and no USB devices connected or working.
Never reached the operating system.
Screens showed nothing.
PC stayed on but remained dark; mouse and keyboard lights stopped.
Should be resolved now, I thought so, became frustrated last night, unplugged all cables and removed everything. Since then, no issues.
It was quite secure and completed successfully; the process was handled well and not attempted to fly, so no issues arose. A solid decision to divide components for upcoming moves. It seems something might have come loose—unplugging everything and swapping it out resolved the problem. No major damage was observed. Thanks
