  1. Trouble with powering up computer


    There was a bit of a storm going on at the time of this post where I live, so I did a full shutdown, turned off the power strip and unplugged the strip from the wall; it calmed down, so I plugged everything back in, and expected no problems powering up (never had any except one particular moment that needed a motherboard replacement, but that was for my last computer), but the computer's power icon kept flashing amber in a steady beat, with a beep sound every 3 seconds, solved it by forcing a shutdown then pressing the button under the power supply indicator light.

    looking at here and here, im at a bit of a loss, but does this mean there's a problem with the PSU unit in my computer? would like help in understanding this so I don't need to over-worry about it

    :)

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds

  3. internal power error

    Hi,


    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    We understand how you feel about the situation. We're sorry for the trouble.

    I would suggest you to follow the method given below and check if it helps.



    Method 1:

    Run the power troubleshooter and restart the system to check if that helps.

    Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with power. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with your Power.

    Refer these steps:

    • Press Windows key +X, select Control panel.
    • Change the view by option on the top right to
      Large icons.
    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the
      view all option on the left panel.
    • Run the Power troubleshooter

    If the issues persist I would suggest you to follow the second method.

    Method 2: Create a new power plan.


    • Go to search box.

    • Type power option in search box.

    • Tap or click Create a power plan and follow the instructions.
    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

  4. Trouble with powering up computer

    No power at usb

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community. I understand your concern and I am glad to assist you.

    "I have checked and followed the instructions in Device Manager, Trouble shooting , settings, update driver and audio within the computer

    Also various links within this forum with no success"

    What troubleshooting steps did you try to resolve the issue?

    I would suggest you to run the hardware and device troubleshooter and check:

    Try these steps to run the troubleshooter:

    • Type troubleshooting in the search bar.
    • Click view all in the left panel.
    • Select ‘Hardware and devices' and follow the on-screen instructions.
    If you think that it is the power that is causing this, run the Power Troubleshooter.

    • Open Control Panel.
    • Type “Troubleshooting” in the search bar and press “Enter”.
    • In the “Troubleshooting” window, click on “View All” on the left pane.
    • Click on “Power”.
    • Click on “Advanced” and then click on “Run as Administrator”.
    • Click “Next” and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the troubleshooting process.

    I would suggest you to restore default settings of power plan and check if it helps.

    • Open Control Panel.
    • Click on the Power Options icon.
    • Click on Change advanced power settings.
    • Select the option “Restore default settings for this plan”.
