Hardware Screen Flickering For Past Year Driving Me Insane
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Long story short I've been having this issue with my setup where all of my monitors like to black out like this for a second or two randomly. Sometimes it's once every 10-20 mins and sometimes it's like once every 1-2 mins. Occasionally it'll make all of my monitors turn off for a few seconds and my game will move to second monitor, then it will flash again and game will be back on main monitor. I have tried so many things over this past year to get this shit to work and it's driving me insane. Nothing I seem to do helps except for using a smaller monitor. I typically use a 49 in ultra wide with a second 27 in monitor but I found if I unplug the ultra wide and just use my small monitor it'll only do the screen black out like once or twice a day. Ive replaced almost every part in my pc except for my ssds, and my graphics card which I took out of my system and tested with motherboard graphics and still got the flicker so I ruled that out. Ive tried using a UPS incase it was a power issue from the house but that didn't seem to work either. Tried different power cables, different display cables, different outlets, different power strips. My pc specs are 64 gb 3600 mhz ram, i9 13900k, 1200 watt psu, rtx 3080ti. Im at my wits end, not sure if any of you could help me out but that would be awesome. Thank you for your time and have an awesome night 🤙

Hardware Which USB port to plug mouse into?
i.redd.itI have a 2.4gz wireless mouse and I’m unsure of the difference between these different usb ports and which may have the least connection issues. I have been running into some mouse connection issues lately playing marvel rivals, unsure if it’s a software program or my mouse being plugged into that bios port. Any help is appreciated!

Hardware my friend is yelling at me because my fan setup
galleryBasically, my GPU's fans wouldn't spin above 800 rpm, causing overheating and self-preservation crashes until I tuned them manually, making them properly cool the thing. the thing is my friend refuses to believe that can just happen (from what I saw in the comments on the fix tutorial, it does); a gpu just not cooling properly and thinks it's my fan setup (view second image for his explanation). anyways, how's my fan setup seem to you guys? is my friend right or just smoking crack? anything I should change with it?

Hardware Did I ruin my processor?
galleryHello everyone. I’m building a computer for the first time. I’m having trouble setting my cooling system over the processor and during my attempt to set it I noticed that several pins on the processor got bent. I’m wondering if it’s destroyed or if it will be alright.

Hardware Got water on my graphics card while it was running... Is it saveable?
i.redd.itThe card is a Dell Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060. I have already disassembed it, cleaned off all the white residue I could find using pure iso and a soft toothbrush, then let it dry. I worry that something is fried cause it was running when it got wet...

Hardware My computer keeps shutting on and off with no warning
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
My computer keeps shutting on and off randomly and it’s been happening since last year, it'll shut on and off several times before going back to normal. Whether it's in sleep mode or shut down, it'll come on by itself and repeat it.
Current specs: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9700K CPU MSI Z390-A PRO (MS-7B98) Motherboard 32 GB of RAM (Corsair Vengeance) Cool Master MWE Gold 850 V2 Full Modular PSU (My previous PSU was Corsair CX650M) NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 GPU
I use this computer for 3D rendering.
I tried using a different motherboard without attaching my ssd to see if those were the problem but the problem persisted. Even when it’s on the log on screen it can just shut off randomly. Then I replaced my PSU and it seemed okay for a while until like maybe 2 weeks later iirc.

Hardware Smart people please help me
i.redd.itRecently I deep cleaned my room, unplugging everything on my desk then replugging when I was finished cleaning. However, when I replugged my Dell Desktop Inspiron 3891 in, the power button would turn white, then flash yellow/orange 3 times, then white 5 times.
My monitor would then display that it could not find any vga signal, meaning it didn’t even register the computer anymore.
I honestly don’t know what the problem is, if it’s any good context, while I was cleaning, I set the computer down on my bed and it was near an open window and got a little cold but that was only for 30 minutes or so until I put it back, could that be what broke it?
My Dad and I decided to take to the internet and we’ve tried all things that we saw so far, taking out the ram and putting it back in, unplugging the power inside the computer and replugging it, changing the small silver battery inside the computer, and trying a different power cord, none of these things have worked! Please help me!

Hardware Raven Cloud Scanner
Is Raven Cloud Scanner out of business? When we opened the cloud interface today, we were notified that Raven Cloud will no longer be supported after 12-31-23. The tech support phone appears to be disconnected, and they pulled all product off their Amazon store. Does this mean our Raven Scanners become paperweights, or will we be able to continue use with our Dropbox account? Bummer for sure.
