The summary provides an overview of a computer repair process, involving diagnosing and fixing a non-starting computer. The repair process includes identifying hardware issues such as a damaged CPU cooler and faulty graphics board. The technician also performed maintenance tasks like cleaning dusty components and updating the BIOS. The repaired system showed improved performance, especially in gaming, after the repair and upgrades.
1. The computer in question is a PC that arrived in a big box with the side panel not closing. It was later found that the graphics board was in another box, along with a GTX960 and an RTX2070 [Document 1].
2. The user received a new power supply unit, a new CPU cooler, a graphics board, a CPU motherboard, a memory set, a PC case, and a case fan [Document 1].
3. The first problem encountered was that the fan connected to the CPU cooler cable wouldn't turn on. This was resolved after connecting an auxiliary power supply [Document 1].
4. The graphics board started working after the auxiliary power supply was connected, but it was making some noise [Document 1].
5. The computer wouldn't start, and the screen was no longer outputting. The user tried various things but there was no improvement [Document 1].
6. The user tried to connect the power cable and the HDMI to the graphics board, but the BIOS was stuck and it took a reboot to start [Document 1].
7. The user suspected that the graphics board might not be compatible with the RTX2070 Spa and that the BIOS update was necessary [Document 1].
8. The user tried an older graphics board, GTX740, and it started up. However, the GTX960 graphics board didn't work [Document 1].
9. The user suspected that the graphics board might be broken, or there might be something wrong with the motherboard [Document 1].
10. The user cleaned the graphics card and removed the graphics card. The power supply unit and the memory were Kingston memory [Document 2].
11. The user tried replacing the graphics board with a GTX570 and it didn't seem to cause any connection issues [Document 2].
12. The user tested the RTX 2070 Super on a different PC and it worked without any issues [Document 3].
13. The user suspected that the keyboard wasn't responding well because it was connected to PS2, so they bought a new PS keyboard [Document 3].
14. The user suspected that the port was dirty and not responding properly, and thought it might be an error specific to the motherboard [Document 3].
15. The user found that the BIOS could be fixed by updating it [Document 3].
16. The user downloaded the necessary files to update the BIOS from the motherboard's homepage [Document 3].
17. The user updated the BIOS and the BIOS date changed to May 28, 2013 [Document 4].
18. The user installed the graphics board and checked the operation. It started up and Windows was set up [Document 4].
19. The user downloaded the driver for the graphics board from the homepage [Document 4].
20. The user performed a Cinebench R15 performance test, and the CPU seemed to be the bottleneck [Document 4].
21. The user cleaned the PC case and other areas where water came out were a bit dusty, so they washed them with water [Document 5].
22. The user attached the back panel and installed the motherboard, just in case [Document 6].
23. The user installed an external Priority La adapter because the Priority La didn't recognize it [Document 6].
24. The user suspected that the 88g of memory might be a bottleneck [Document 6].
25. The user thought that it was too late to buy a used computer and suggested that the 8910 compatible with Windows 11 or the 12th generation i3 might be good targets [Document 6].
