I dont get why people are complaining about the lenght of the Videos, i love how you show us as much as possible.

[stumpythedwarf]

Greg, please continue showing everything. You're videos are not too long, and a service to the community. If they think it's too long, they can increase the playback speed, and miss everything you are saying.

[benbarclay]

I'm going to try to balance out the people complaining about "long" videos and complain that your videos are too short! I expect 6-9 hours of Greg every time a video is published on this channel. Riot if expectations are not met.

[firexallstrz]

I like longer videos Greg I like to see everything happen don't worry about it. Keep the videos lengthy and detailed.

[PappaTsunami]

Youre longer vids have quite literally helped me save several of my friends thousands! Knowing how things work and see things get fixed is great but the true art in these vids is the problem solving process. Thank you for all your wisdom Greg!

I had the same problem with my kiddos pc back when i was building his for his birthday. turned out to be a bad Drive and CPU. Talk about a massive headache and literally had me running circles thinking i did something wrong. But your videos are never to long keep up the good job Greg. Love the content.

Best playlist on Gregs channel, always here for a Fix or Flop. Please continue the series

[sokeroversadam]

Don't mind the people with low attention span. The reason why this series is so popular is your charisma and the way you conduct the troubleshooting process and take us along for the ride.
Keep it up Greg!

The case bottom filter appears to possibly be dust clogged at 14:01. The PSU voltages seem a bit low, so might want to use your PSU tester on it. The "Load Optimized Defaults" bios settings should help getting back to normal. Also: the "CSM Enabled" bios setting may have been required in order to get the PC owner's actual Windows boot drive to boot. Normally, it's best to leave in "CSM Disabled" mode, so the PC owner may need to re-install Windows while CSM is disabled, instead of enabled.

There is no way people complain about 15 - 20 minutes of troubleshooting is too long when that's the whole point of the series. These are great, Greg! We're not just here to see if the system is fixable, but to actually see the processes you go through to troubleshoot and attempt to fix the PC. These videos help the rest of us by teaching how we can handle our own systems if something were to go wrong. I am sure most of us really want to see the whole process, rather than just the end point.

Thanks for the inspiration Greg! I helped a kid out last week, before Christmas, that had his gaming PC go down. Figured out that the motherboard was bad AND had a corrupt OS.

Took many hours of troubleshooting and teaching him what to try but we got it going.

Take as long as you need and film as much as you want, Greg. I just had the build from hell the other day and almost every single issue we encountered had an answer from your Fix or Flop series... _INCLUDING_ an unactivated copy of Windows 10. It was a 5600G going into a TUF Gaming X570 motherboard. The BIOS that shipped with it was from April of 2020, so it did not recognize the APU. We had to get a 3000 series AM4 CPU to update the BIOS because it does not have a flashback option. When that CPU arrived, several pins were bent and we had to bend them back. It was a nightmare, but I cannot stress how many times your name and this channel came up. Thank you.

Please continue to show everything. The whole point of the series is for us to learn, and for others who may have similar issues watch and maybe get the fix they need. Seeing the whole process, and most importantly your thought process is more than a wealth of knowledge. If people aren’t happy, I think they just may be watching too many tik toks lol

[mathewslimm]

your videos actually help me with pc problems. i never have a problem with how long they are. its good to be thorough when its a pc. they do cost a hell of a lot when you think about it

[WizardsBear]

You make things look so relatively simple. At 74 I am a bit hesitant to to even try to correct my Windows Boot Failure in spite of watching various YouTube "How to". I can simply hit Press Any Key To Continue and it boots right up. Annoying but beats screwing anything up in BIOS and not having a working computer. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing.

[GameMarks]

Hey Greg, thanks to having watched so many of your fantastic Fix or Flop videos, I was actually able to identify the issue with my own PC. After upgrading CPUs, the CPU debug LED was always turning on. Because of you, I knew that the RAM could be the culprit and it was! The PC was only able to boot with one of my two DIMMs and after manually setting my DRAM voltages and enabling XMP, the system is now up and running with both of my sticks and XMP.
Thanks for these great videos

The fan ramp-up is something I've seen on a few different AMD motherboards in CPU- and RAM-related crashes. As for this PC, the fact that disabling PBO fixed the issue tells me that this CPU a lemon or has been damaged. Sucks for the owner, there's a lot of performance left on the table for the 5950x if you can't run it with PBO enabled.

[blacktrudeau]

its crazy to me how much content this playlist is pushing out! keep it up greg love the grind

[kevinmaghinang]

I'm very thankful for this series, Greg. It's because of things like at 4:21. I was one of the people that thought that leaving it hanging like that was okay. It was a new M.2 and when I looked at the benchmarks, it was underperforming and overheating. I decided to put the extra screw that was in the motherboard box and voila! The temps are great and the benchmarks are where they are supposed to be. Thank you, Greg!

Now this is some good stuff... Good stuff means, issues usually I face that makes no sense . This is one of the best playlists on PCs! <3
