Hey last month I bought a custom desktop PC from FB Group and the guy fucking ripped me off,


he sold me a CPU:

a hundred years of old 1155 Motherboard (ONDA H67/H61)
250GB HDD
2GB DDR3 Ram 1600 MHz (x2)
Gigabyte GTX1050TI 4GB
iCute 550W PSU
and a fucking Eview Casing

= RM1100



and I connect the CPU to 4k TV, at first the PC was slow af and it takes me half an hour to open Google Chrome alone.









A few weeks later I upgraded the RAM to 8GB [4GB DDR3 Ram 1600 MHz (x2)] and changed the hard disk to SSD,
everything is smooth but the PC keep restart over and over again. The mobo temperature skyrocketing (121°) and I had to remove the case and literally hang the motherboard on the shoe rack and put a fan in front of it to maximize the air flow. It worked apparently.





But it happened again after that, the PC keep restart, crash dump if I didn't put the fan in front of the CPU, the guy from the computer shop said that my motherboard is a lousy one and maybe can't support some of the parts installed. Today I can't even turn on the PC, no power go thru the power supply, the fan is not spinning, not even a beep. I guess the CPU might be short or idk.

Help me guys!!!!! Should I just change the processor and mobo? Or what should I do? Was thinking about bringing my CPU to lowyat and let the guy there setting back my CPU.

1.re-sit yr proc again, put some reliable thermal paste. u yr self can do it.
2. onda is cheapest mobo, find reputable like asrock or msi, but it ddr3 1600 socket 1155, so u choice is limited.

change whole system except ssd and GC. then a month or 2 upgrade yr psu to more branded , like my PSU.

I did the number 1 already, still no power in. Do you think I accidentally destroyed my mobo?

Or should I change to AMD?

i amd camp, and intel also. but for gaming purpose and glorious graphic , i go amd. intel for stability and low current usage.

I'm quite newbie in this custom PC scene but based on my specs, do you think it's okay if I just change the mobo + proc to AMD? Or do I need to change other parts too?

yes u can change mobo+proc . else can re-used. if u change mobo+proc only yr mobo choice are really limited. it ddr3 1600 bro. go other thread bout latest build suggest.

PM

lesson learn mate

as a PC user opinion

never ever buy second+ hand pc from someone else

you will never know what has been broken


and for ur case

u need new proc and mobo that uses DDR3 rams

or just change to new gen +ddr4 rams will do, gonna cost u more though

ur psu, casing, ssd those all still can use

procc not that easy rosak one

try replace the thermal paste for both cpu and motherbord chipset

there is one time I forgot to apply thermal paste to my cpu after cleaned, almost had it fried.. phew

there is one more time, same, forgot, and gpu fried, zotac 8600

if after renew thermal paste still same, then really no hope edi

sorry to hear that you met a not honest seller, in another word cheater

seems like mobo something wrong...the temp is way too high...
the restarts is probably caused by the overheat...

best bet is to change another mobo...get better known brand as mentioned earlier...

If i were you, i would get Intel Processor + ASUS mobo ( for reliability ) , DDR4 Rams and Cooler Master/Seasonic/FSP psu's...

Seems like only the graphic card you can keep, the rest need to be upgrade.
Worse shit is you waste dy RM1100...
