💻 Computer Black Screen Troubleshooting Log

My desktop computer is always kept on. Usually, I only turn off the monitor when I leave or don’t use it at night.

🚨 Problem Description

  • After a routine operation, I discovered that the display was consistently in a black screen state.
  • Attempting to power cycle the monitor, the screen still displayed “No Signal Input”.
  • Using UU Remote Control to view the status, I found that both the desktop PC and another mini host were showing as online, indicating that the host itself may not have been shut down.

Troubleshooting Steps

To resolve the “no signal” issue, I attempted the following:

Memory timing C36, C30, and C28 – what do these mean? Which one is more suitable at a frequency of 6000MHz?

When assembling or upgrading a computer, we often see memory modules labeled with parameters like “DDR5-6000 CL36” and “DDR5-6000 CL30.” The “6000” represents the memory frequency (MHz), while “CL36” and “CL30” are abbreviations for “CAS Latency,” which is commonly referred to as “timings.”

So, what’s the difference between C36, C30, and C28? How do they affect performance when frequencies are the same? And how should you choose? Let’s discuss this topic in detail today.

Upgrading from a desktop to a 2.5G network card, accelerating local area network connectivity.

Desktop hardware three-in-one, in the previous text we mentioned PCIe adapter for solid state drives, where did the old SSDs go? Of course there was no waste, were any of them broken, disassembled and installed on the newly purchased ‘MechMaker Mini-3765H’ (bought a year ago).

The new machine has powerful hardware specifications: 2.5G dual network interface, PCIe4.0, WiFi6.

Recently moved house and my room doesn’t have a dedicated router for networking, all the machines are connected via wireless network; the ASUS motherboard desktop wireless card performance wasn’t great, or perhaps it was the router’s wireless access, which resulted in slow upload speeds between local networks, leading to poor network speeds between the machines. I purchased a 2.5G NIC and installed it on the desktop.

Building PCs

The author has long had an interest in building computers from a young age, and began to delve into hardware assembly after university. They recommended websites for comparing hardware performance and offered purchasing suggestions, including CPU, solid-state drives, hard disk drives, and memory frequencies. They also shared their experience and advice regarding hardware selection and important considerations.

Wonder – Unspeakable

Ever since I was young, I’ve dreamed of building my own computer, but unfortunately, economic conditions didn’t allow it. Finally, after a lot of hard work, I reached university and built a laptop for portability. If I had to pinpoint a specific time when the idea started, it would be when I first began thinking about assembling computers at my hometown’s library. After all, it was a sizable city-level library, with not only an electronic reading room (though I never actually used it – it was billed by the hour) but also a magazine reading room, where I discovered magazines like Popular Science and Computer News. For someone who had limited exposure to computers, these were practically divine科普资料 (scientific popularization materials). When I read about players “doing dungeons” and “killing monsters,” I thought about building my own computer to do the same, acting as the main output. And when I saw “black technology,” I fantasized about replicating what was described in the books, hoping to achieve similar effects (regarding the use of hacking tools).
