Trying to Fix a $150 Gaming PC That Doesn't Turn on - Worth it..?!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 окт 2024
- Here is a PC that I got as a trade in for $150 AUD (which is like $105 USD~~~) It has some good specs in it, though I was told that the computer just wouldn't boot no matter what the person did. So today we are going to go through a tech yes journey. Enjoy!

Oh man streets of rage music while taking apart a PC. Love this channel even more keep up the good work.
Yeees! I Scrolled through the comments to see if anyone else noticed that! Brought me back!
As soon as I heard streets of rage / bare knuckle music, I paused the video to see if anyone noticed it.
@@jasonblankenship4418 , I also came here for this!
Round 2 soundtrack! Followed up with a double tease of Round 3 - beach
Hell to the yeah! Right back to my childhood!
Another video from the best local tech channel, hell yeah!
Hey that PC and I went through a hell of a lot together. I was actually sad to see it go but at the end of the day I’m glad you could turn it into something awesome man. Will keep following your channel for sure too!
Solid Work once again! Lovin your Vids man!! Keep em comin!
Great video as usual Bryan, really enjoy the editing/music, you are getting great at it. You deserve to get 500k subscribers this year!
Rocking a 3770k on a MSI Z77 with a 1080, all on bargain hunting. No issues at all!
Fast become my favourite tech channel! Keep it up Brian. Love from South Africa
Used that case with tempered glass for my sons friends build. Picked it up on sale for $35. For being a budget case it did extremely well. That is a super nice build with a lot of legs still for $367. The Yes man working his magic yet again.
I used WD-40 on my aunts Dell to take off some stickers. Then noticed it looked like new. Spayed the whole thing down a year ago and it doesn't have any dust on it and still looks brand new. I did the same to my Razer Lycrosa. First took all the keys off and soaked them in windex for a few minutes then they turned kind of white. installed the rubberized keys and cleaned the whole thing with WD, It's been 4 months now and the keyboard still looks brand new. Side note. I let the keyboard sit for about a week unused to let the WD settle in and dry off. No dust and not slimy nor sticky to the touch. Also, I don't live in a dusty house. I vacuum frequently and dust often so that should be taken into account for the no dust settling on the Case and Keyboard.
Hey, Bryan: always enjoy your excellent refurbs. FYI: we've recently had a lot of success with a refurbished HP Z220 MT (mid-tower), i7-3770 installed: that motherboard comes with 1 x16 PCIe 3.0 slot. We installed a bootable Highpoint SSD7103 with 4 x Samsung 970 EVO NVMe SSDs in RAID-0, and migrated Windows 10 to that RAID-0 using a licensed copy of Partition Wizard. CDM measured READs at 11,697 MB/second. HP builds really good hardware, and spare parts are plentiful too.
Here's that CDM measurement:

Here's a screen shot of the RAID-0 array, using Highpoint's GUI:

These days in Australia it's much hard to do a quality low budget build compared to a very high budget. So good to watch this kind of content for a change. Top stuff mate
STREETS OF RAGE! Goddamn Brian, you always have awesome music on your channel.
He should really make a playlist of it! It's great!
I love these Ivy and Sandy Bridge era CPUs. I have my 3770 in a secondary PC paired with a 970 for friends to use when they're over. Hooked up to my TV I have a itx rig - i7 2600 paired with a 770 for couch gaming and watching movies. Only upgraded to a i7 8700 to get some faster rendering times and m.2 support on the motherboard. The older CPUs were still plenty fast for gaming!
Bryan,i was given the same Z77 mobo for free recently.The boot loop is caused from corrupted bios,mine didnt even power on before clearing CMOS.They had issues with some bios versions. It has dual bios so if you proceed with bios recovery it will probably boot nice. Love your channel and SoR music
Worked for me once how ever I think in the video Brian did a bios recovery.
Love to watch you work Brian ...Awsome to see you clean n give a rig some tycl!! Love the vids man I'm an avid fan n recently did my 1st build r7 2700x ...rtx 2060...32 gigs g skill rgb ram..Asus prime x470 mobo...500g crucial m.2....coolermaster 240ml rad...7 cooler master fans 140mm&a 120mm...1250w g skill pow supply...thermaltake view 31 case ...I love my build and you and a few other guys I watch helped teach me ...I love to tinker on older pcs too and love to watch you work!! Keep up the good work!!
Love the budget build vids 💪
you got a new subscriber
Wow, thats such a sweet build :D
What a coincidence. I just built a computer with a Cougar MX330- G case too. Mine is the tempered glass version, but it didn't come with a power supply. I love the case. Has everything I was looking for. Mesh front, tempered glass side, 2 front USB 3 ports, and a 1 DVD drive bay and it was on sale for $45 US dollars.
Yo man the music a b roll in this video was pure fire, definitely more of this in the future man keep up the hard work
Man's really using calvin klein boxers to dry off his components
I encounter same problem with an OEM Foxconn motherboard, this is on Acer desktop mini-tower. It Fan spin then shutdown, that's all it does, it fan spin then shutdown, it won't boot, no error beep, nothing wrong with RAM, GPU or HDD. After a thorough inspection I found bent pins at the CPU socket, but accidentally broke 1 off while pushing it back, luckily it's only a Ground pin for this H57 motherboard... then I found corrosion on one of its SATA port & cleaned it up, and then a tiny inductor coil almost broke off on this board while I scrub it, luckily the wire is intact so I just tape it down... then after all that, only after I removed its CMOS battery will the board Boot up successfully. Also its CMOS is broken, it never saves its setting if on battery.
Recently got a EVGA Titan X from Ebay, for 330 us. This card rocks... Would like to see a comparison with your usual mainstream cards. As always, great video and love the channel. Keep it going!
Maxwell or Pascal?
Interesting I seen this on the Facebook marketplace and wondered what it cost you to make it.Good on you for putting it up for sale for a decent price unlike the rest of the chumps who put a massive mark up on their pc/parts
I'm enjoying the videos! Liked the note on the WD-40, in particular, & the Gigabyte motherboards evaluation.
love what your doing taking used parts and giving them a new life very cool
The 3770 is still a good CPU. If you have an old 1155 motherboard then you're golden! Thanks for the awesome content Bryan.
PS: Didn't realize that I already got a 6 month supporter badge. :D
GIVE THIS MAN SOME TECH YES LOVING!! 👍
Yes please do that video testing mid range cards with that i7 vs i9900k... I am currently gaming with a gtx 1660ti and an i5 3570k at 4.2ghz... Love your videos man
This is my life. Love seeing your adventures 👍
Once again Gr8 Job Bro watching From Glasgow Scotland Luving the Videos Keep them Coming 👍
Love the the under ware used to wipe the parts down lol
special loving
Wouldn’t mind seeing a video comparing those cards on the 3770K.
Probably pretty similar to a 6700k or Ryzen 2400G, assuming similar clock speeds.
Magisk RUclips Vanced is awesome. Nice combo too, i7 3770 + H77 its nice and cheap since people usually go for the 3770k + Z77.
Do you know to disable the notification screen on youtube vanced? Its so annoying
I cant understand why you wouldnt get Asus or Asrock P67, Z68 or Z77 boards... They turbo overclock sandy and ivy bridge cpu's 4 steps above stock speed. So that 3770 runs at 4.4ghz! Its insane to leave that much performance on the table budd.
@@hoomansadjadi7666 I don't have a 3770 I have a 4790k
great build.
P.S Brian was that Underwear your were using to clear GPU 3:37 ?
UrbanaticLemonade it is a microfibre cloth lol
The dreaded Gigabyte bootloop. I have the same board and problem. Was going to try brake cleaner and wd40 as I live by the sea.Your deep cleaning yes tips have fixed my hi Fi amp and door bell. Many thanks.
Gave it a Tech Yes cleanse and started up without cmos battery ( As suggested in comments ) got into start up repair and re freshed windows with files intacked. Looks sweet in my old Alienware Predator case. Thanks to Tech Yes and comments section.
You don't have a pci error detection card?
They are quite handy. Should have told you immediately which component failed the boot test.
Hi Brian. Love the content. How are led strips being powered?
Oh come on this street of rage music is SO GOOD, you deserve a sub on this fact alone, good memories ;)
I"ve got 3770 non-k 2years ago. I set the multiplier at 43 and works great at 4,3ghz with r9 390x :) I highly recommend this CPU
I have a very similar MB GA-Z77mx-d3h since ~2013 with a I7 3770k and it still kicking.
I live on a hot place but away from the beach.
Great video Yes man! I loved this same case when i did my review video on it. Flippers dream from low/mid powered systems..
Great video as always. Yes, test the i7-3770 against other cpus with some other video cards
Man that is amazing bringing life back into those parts.
Love that glasses, man!!!. Keep up the good work!!
My total guide + inspiration on building PCs. Super thanks Tech YES City! But i only have one question now since this is my very first time to lay a comment after watching multiple videos from you. What are you using to clean them? I mean, what's the spray and are those Wet Wjpes? I'm clueless 😂
The spray is WD-40
@@tonnylins Really? Wow, okay. I'll try it
Yes please do that video. My system has a 3rd gen i7 and a 1070ti and I'm really on the fence about which I should upgrade first. Or if I should not worry about upgrading at all this year.
Love the Yuzo Koshiro SOR tune 👌🏻
I thought I knew this music from Streets of Rage :D great vid as always!
Cool Video ! i found some cooler master hyper 212 evo's for22$ ea (Refurbs) US i bought 2 of them for my dual xeon server build ! I Didnot Think twice about buying refurbished hyper212 evo's ! hell thair isnot nothing that can go bad other than the fan..lol. What do u Think about buying refurbished coolers an a fuw thngs ? I was just wondering wht ure thoughts was about refurbs! Thanks..Keep up The good work !
I would love to see what your talking about. My current build is an i7 3770k with a GTX 1070 32 gig ddr 3 on a SSD . Building a new rig with a i5 9600k with a rtx 2070 16 gig ddr 4 3000 on a pci e m2. Waiting for the 2070 in the mail. Do that please. Not all of us can afford a 9900k.
I spent a month waiting for sales. Built everything brand new for 1083 USD.
I'll admit... I laugh every time you break out the WD-40... you could be the Albert Einstein of restoring PCs, be 100% correct in everything you say, and by gum, WD-40 is indeed, the best thing you could ever do for a PC... and i'm still going to laugh... it just seems so darn goofy. I love your channel... maybe I just come to see "will he break out the WD-40 this time?". Keep up the great work!
On the CPU Cooler, while the CM Hyper 411R is either hard to come by or overpriced in the US, the closest 92mm Cooler Master option easily available in the US at a cheap price is the CM Hyper T2... though it lacks an LED fan (it could of course be swapped out with one though). There's so many cooling tower options in the US though at 92mm and 120mm sizes, there's no shortage of options there.
Oh, and oddy enough, I recently pieced together a "spare parts/E-Bay" system for my son... using an ASUS P8Q77-M MB, i7-3770, GTX 1060-6GB, 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD... so, very similar to what you ended up with here, and he loves it.
Excellent work. What is the make and model of the electric screwdriver that you are using?
Unless a pc case is physically damaged like crushed or something, I believe any case is recoverable. I tear them down and repaint if needed to restore them. I know that is not something you do to flip PCs, but my point is that someone with skills would want a case no matter how dirty it is.
and even someone without skills
I upgraded my HTPC to a i5-3570 from the fx-8370. Not a great improvement but those older i5 are quiet at stock compared to fx and even improved game play by like 10 fps with a 970. Noctua redux fans and Artic gpu coolers make great combo.
What did you do with the Gigabyte board in the end? Did you try a full BIOS reset & new battery as described elsewhere here, or a BIOS restoration/flashback? (one can probably buy a more up to date BIOS chip ready to use from somewhere) If you're just going to throw it away, I'd be happy to have a go trying to repair it instead (I'm learning CLBR).
Case was an old Antec NSK4482B, thats not the PSU that came with them. The Neo Eco 520 Is a Seasonic built unit - from memory good for about 600W before it shuts down gracefully.
Got one of those Z77 boards on my current rig. Seems Gigabyte really took a downturn with the quality of their products around the time they started making these? The audio on mine only works on one channel if i used the front case jacks or those on the back of the board yet works fine if i use a USB headset. Or at least did until my Seasonic PSU just exploded in a shower of sparks..
streets of rage music!!!! oh man the nostalgia ... sitting in the ''junk room'' with my old CRT and my megadrive 2
Remove the coin-like BIOS battery on the faulty board, shorten the power button pins for 10-15 seconds and wait about 10 minutes, then put the battery back. If that doesn't help, replace it with a brand new battery with good brand. You can also measure it with a multimeter, if its under 3.00V then its not good.
that cant be the problem, you can boot mobos without or with faulty cmos batteries no problem, it just dont saves bios settings
@@jeremymartens4027 - exactly... what York is virtually saying is to reset the bios anyways, which Brian says in the video he did.
Bake it in the oven like Linus did.
Gigabyte boards with dual bios are know for this boot cycling problem I fixed another one yesterday a z170. You need to jump pins 1 and 6 on the bios M chip.
@@80sBaby925 aha might try that i had 2 B85 motherboards bootcycle on a trade in i3-4150 which worked on the previous pc it had been in
I've noticed you always put the led strip on the bottom. Is it simply because otherwise it will fall off eventually? I always put it on the top because it looks way better IMO (and yes, falls off after a couple of months, depending on the adhesive).
Hi. I saw your video on the $150 Ryzen computer. What is your favorite gaming rig in this price range and style?
Did you take out the dvd drive and cardreader from the case :)
Hi Brian, yes, please do a 9900k or ryzen 2700x highend cpu coupled with a GTX1060 vs in a lower end cpu like i5 9600k or ryzen 2600, I would like to see how much the cpu can hold back the gpu or the gpu hold back the cpu etc.
A 1060 wouldn't push any of those
A friend of mine had a similar issue with a Gigabyte board, but it wasn't Z77 it was H67 and it was brand new. He had to return the board and get it replaced 3 times before he got one that didn't boot loop. Then not long after the warranty ran out it started boot looping. Got in touch with Gigabyte and was told to send the board in and it would cost £50, but they also said if they couldn't fix it they wouldn't refund the £50. Turned out this was a common issue with Gigabyte non high end boards and Sandy/Ivy Bridge . Since then neither me nor my friend will touch Gigabyte with a barge pole.
Cool! I wish i could flip PCs around.
One major question: You overclock the GPU with Afterburner.
But do afterburner have to autostart the next time you boot your PC to get the overclock?
Anton Schaf no because if it’s not stable your screwed
what do you do after you spray wd40 ? how you clean it after ? keep up the good work.
Brian do you still have the original Gigabyte board? We had one that didn’t post because the CMOS battery was really low. Once we replaced it with a new 3V battery it posted... it’s pretty rare, but we always check the CMOS batteries when we are rebuilding a PC. We usually find them 3 a pack for $1.50 at a local dollar store.
i love your videos, so informative... can you please make a video and give us some tips and tricks on overclocking using msi afterburner... love from Pakistan...
Is that really WD40 you are using to clean the motherboard (and the other components)? I thought that would ruin them.
It is, and it doesn't. I thought that as well. He's got a couple vids where he describes in detail how long he's used it and has had zero problems. Found this in my Liked Videos.
ruclips.net/video/c-qY59VrVS4/видео.html
That is awesome man, nice pc build
Still think with the volume of used parts cleaning you do a ultrasonic cleaner would be a good investment. Get some proper electronics cleaner for it (branson ec)and i think many of the dead items you have will come back to life.
*I see yes man notification, I click*
Great stuff mate lovin it on a budget😎
Hey bro...which thermal paste you usually apply in your builds
At the moment corsair stuff, But I got a big comparison coming soon.
There You Naild It STREETS of RAGE!!!!!
that a sweet antec case. spray paint the back black. i actually got one and sold many in the past. sleeper build case
Nice, kind of like my build... I7-3770 on P8H61-MX USB3, 16GB HyperX CL10 1600, GTX1060 6GB … Asmedia SATA 3 to get a bit more out of my SSD (but nothing like the speed it did on my AM3 with native SATA 3 - does beat the onboard SATA 2 though!)
I always thought throwing away my old boxers was the wrong thing to do... Now I know what I should be doing with them 😉
The music is amazing! From Streets of Rage if im not mistaken?
Yes
Love to see 3rd gen Intel still holding up!
How do you price your PCs? I hope you'll make a vid for this so that I can also go forward in making PCs and gaining profits
I'd clean the stuff after finding out what is faulty... mate! But I guess you just love your sprays and wipes... and btw the 3770 can easily handle a 980ti or 1070 in my humble opinion...
I wept when you did away with the Antec PSU and instead used the one without sleeved cables. An absolute *SIN* in cases with side windows imo 😭
Love how the 3770 is still such a good CPU for games though!
Gigabyte boards form the "blue PCB era" are a waking nightmare, had one of these with scorch marks from the VRMS.
At this Point only Brian is playing Anthem that too for mere scientific purposes.
Bonus: Anthem glitch 11:37 - 11:44
I don't know what the problem with the ram on that G1.Sniper was... I had a G1.Sniper running two different kits of Corsair Vengeance (LP and Pro) and it worked fine. Maybe the bios is to blame?
I love these videos. There is lots of money to be made!
Had to immediately thumbs up because of the streets of rage music
3:15 Great View bro
I'm going to make a guess that the front IO is preventing boot.
Same thing happened to me, had a friend just give me his PC cause it was borked.
Unplugged front IO, booted right up.
Try Forcing backup BIOS
1. Shut your PC down (if you're reading this guide, than your PC isn't working anyways)
2. Hold the power button until the PC starts and shuts down again
3. Press the power button again, your backup BIOS should kick in now and should re-flash the main BIOS if there's anything wrong with it.
Why put a big cooler on a chip that doesn't overclock? Or does it?
if your cooler is big the fan will work less & be absolutely silent.
question why dont you use car dashboard cleaner instead of wd-40? the result is as good as wd40 and smells nice, i use a silicon based one and it works also the can is double the size for half the price wich makes it 4x cheaper
Good one Aussie. I can actually understand you!!!
I just bought a Optiplex 7010 for 80 GBP with a I5 3470, 8GB ram, and a 250 GH HDD. Good tiny PC, surprises me that they can be this cheap.
Bryan that case is better than the one i use there keep it bit of rust converter and cover over with black pain look like new Dude very good build i use a 750ti my self
vaporized salt water would end up as normal distilled water with no salt, not trying to correct but I mean I've lived within miles of the Gulf of Mexico for 15 years, I was under the impression being so close to a large body of saltwater would encourage rust but that doesn't seem to be the case. The area doesn't get snow so the roads are not salted in winter just the Gulf of Mexico itself and rust was ironically extremely rare on vehicles or most anything. The case and screws could just be cheaply made and the electric/magnetic field created by the pc might have caused moisture and other partials in the air to attach themselves to the case. Kinda like reverse electrolysis.
What gets me is the rear exhaust where the fan motor is there is no rust.. if it was just the case material the rust should have spread behind the fans motor as well..
From what i picked up in this video is you tore down a decent rig then basically set everything from it aside and built a whole new pc in the video
Do you have any tips for me? I have a budget of max 500 dollars. Can you get a good performing pc for this? Thanks alot!
R5 1600, 8gb ram, 570 or 580, 500w PSU, Case, 240-480gb sata SSD, b450 mobo. Or just wait for 3rd gen Ryzen
I love that green/black gigabyte board, wanted one for my 4790k while I still had it!
You really went to town on the cleaning! 😳
